Today, like every day, is a good day to remind you that Jeff LaRe cares so little about his job that he still has the wrong district on his official web site. Fairfield County deserves someone who actually takes the job seriously.

I'm honestly kind of impressed at how wholly and completely vapid the Mario Galaxy movie is. It's a fantastic soundtrack with fun animation and one of the most empty, meaningless stories I've seen from a kids movie in a long time.

Alma's a good friend, and does good work advocating for trans rights in her country. Worth supporting if you can!

The fun thing about being polyamorous is when you land at an airport and have to text like five people to let them know you got there safe.

Oh god, yeah I still haven't even played it! But it's one of my partner's favorites so maybe we should get back on this so I can finally get it played 🤣

Another fun idea from @redangelx3.bsky.social, exploring Greek concepts of love through the lens of Hamtaro. youtu.be/kz8XAuQwoMc?...

Oh Red, I feel like you'd really love it lol. It's very good.

My understanding is that it simulates a desktop, which like... it functions to move the story forward, but fully lacks the feeling that you're actually messing with the game's files. Feels completely within the game's fiction.

Been meaning to play Digimon games for ages (as a huge Tamers fan), and the way @redangelx3.bsky.social talks about this one makes me want to give it a go. youtu.be/ej85zR380G4?...

Absolutely. My favorite horror trilogy by far, but just flat-out inaccessible to modern gamers. Don't understand why we haven't gotten a remastered trilogy release yet.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 15/06/2025
Oh for sure! It'd absolutely be in a top 20 for games I think are the best of all time from a more objective perspective, maybe even top 10, but my personal favorites lean much more toward games that engage me emotionally.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 15/06/2025
Portal is that for me. Like, it's perfect. I couldn't improve it if you gave me an infinite budget. And I do love it, but it's not like a top 10, or probably even top 20 for me. But it is flawless.

I'm not the kind of person who hates everything Final Fantasy has put out since X or anything, but I do hope the success of games like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Clair Obscur encourages the series to try turn-based combat again. I do kinda miss it.

YEAH. It's so much!! Too long, too drawn-out, completely out of touch with anything that's happening or what it means, just baffling. I didn't think I'd hate it THIS much.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 15/05/2025
I knew I might not like what they do with this, since the only thing I disliked about Remake was the meta Whispers stuff. But I wasn't prepared for how bad even the basic handling of it all would be. This is souring me on the entire game in retrospect.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 15/05/2025
I'm still in the process of the final fight of FFVII Rebirth (finally), but I fucking hate this. I'm flabbergasted just how wildly they've missed the mark here. I expected them to pull some nonsense, but I didn't expect them to dramatically botch the most important moment of the whole damn story.

Well that's... sorta devastating. A lot of the best gaming content was made there, from insightful articles to hilarious videos. I hate how games media is being dismantled like this. Heartfelt thanks and sorrow to the people affected. Y'all deserved better. ❤️

I'm telling you all to go see The Legend of Ochi. It was delightful. Felt out of time, like an old VHS I'd have found lying around. Really magical experience, I loved it.

Heyyyyy maybe the animated category will actually have real winners now instead of just, "I didn't watch that kiddie shit, just check the Disney one."

New Devil May Cry show is pretty good? Fun time, until it's kinda heartbreaking and surprisingly political and timely. Enjoyed it.

I didn't think I'd be the type to like Blue Prince, but damn if I'm not 20 hours and 60 pages of notes in and having an absolute blast. I thought the note-taking would be tedious & obtuse, but the feeling of finally realizing the key to a bunch of random things you've been noting is second to none.

Fiberoptic is NUTS. I still remember realizing that the upload speed was equal to download; videos that took 10 hours to upload before took like a minute. Love it.

Hey, so did I! Not too surprised by what I found there, but very surprised by what I found afterward lol

As someone who grew up with Humongous Entertainment games, no they absolutely the fuck should not... but also yeah I'd play it lol

Okay well good news, I have made progress! I'm still not sure what my ultimate goals will be, but I have a couple permanent changes and I figured out some VERY satisfying puzzling last night, so. I have 40+ pages of notes and I am having a blast.

Was Minecraft... bearable? I'm tempted out of gmer obligation and because I work with kids, but it looks so painful.

Nope, that's a good start! I'll come on here and beg for more if I need it 🤣

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 13/04/2025
That is vague indeed! But okay, I'll jot these down and keep them in mind. Thanks! Hopefully I can make enough progress for the game to really click with me.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 12/04/2025
Sure! I feel like it might help to clear an initial hurdle and get more of an idea of what I should be doing/looking for.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 12/04/2025
I've been wondering if I'm just bad at it, cause I don't think I've managed any permanent changes at all? I'm on like day 6 and it's just the same process each time. I wanna look something up to see what I'm missing, but that feels like profaning the experience somehow.

Oh no, okay. I was thinking of starting it tonight, but if I'm gonna have to do subtle color things with greens then I'll be boned.

Also, I have to agree with some criticism I've heard: Jill deserved better. A great character who had her agency robbed of her repeatedly and reduced to a background character when she should have maintained a close supporting role.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 11/04/2025
As usual, few of my complaints have anything to do with the reasons many people hated on it. The combat was fine, the characters were great, the more grounded tone of the first half of so was the best part. It was almost so solid, but it lost itself as it went.

FINALLY finished Final Fantasy XVI, and... Man. I like a lot about this game. I like a lot about what it's trying to do. I just wish it came together better in the end. Won't go into spoilers, but the whole ending fell pretty flat for me. Didn't feel like it had a solid grasp on what it was about.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 10/04/2025
Okay so caveat, bunny girls are from Shadowbringers, which isn't in the free trial, so you'd have to start as something else if you wanna play free. ...that said I love the game very much and if you want to try it I would happily accompany you 😁

My favorite was when I said I loved the game, but I wished it had more interesting weevils... then turned my camera to the insectoid enemy named "Boring Weevil."

Whenever I'm playing Final Fantasy XIV with my spouse, and I come across a character whose name could be misconstrued and forced into a silly sentence, I do it. It gets me a groan (and occasionally a laugh).

It's just such a beautiful story in such a tragic world, all wrapped in one of the most satisfying game experiences I've ever had the joy of playing. I fuckin love this game.

7. Hollow Knight Played it years back and obsessing over it for the last year or so, but I've only just now actually beaten the final final boss. Damn this game is beautiful. It does everything I love in theory about Soulsbourne storytelling, but in a way that connects with me so much better.

The Game Professor @gameprof.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
Honestly, I wasn't as obsessed with Hollow Knight back then, so I'm not sure. But I know we got gameplay footage and stuff in the past, and knowing how anticipated this game is I'm just surprised they didn't feature it more prominently.
