Despite everything it isn’t and could’ve been, and despite the flaws that are here, Wolverine has grown on me the further I get. It’s a letdown when compared to Insomniac’s previous work, particularly the Spider-Man games, but it doesn’t quite deserve the ire and mockery it received at launch.

Does anybody have advice for how to quickly yet effectively take care of business in Dagsion between main quests? I’m spending way too much time fast traveling all over trying to build bonds, train, and use social systems. It’s kinda getting on my nerves.

I’m enjoying Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave more than I anticipated early on, but I still feel like this series surrounds some of the best – if not THE best – tactics gameplay with too many shallow, time-consuming activities that could use more purpose, involvement, and innovation.

In Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, I was told when you run out of free time while adventuring on the map and are forced back for the next main quest on the calendar that you’ll have time to turn in completed kindness quests before the main quest begins. You do not. God dammit, you do not.

Can any of you guide me to a video that shows me how to wisely use my free time on Cai’s first day in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave? I accidentally restarted the chapter and want to do better this time… but I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing.

Apparently Best Buy did not want to stock Garfield: Escape From Monday, so for now I don’t own it. Maybe they saved me from a poor decision? I like being the weirdo who’s knowledgeable about the budget licensed games, especially platformers. There’s often quality product to be found these days.

I just realized that between all the shows I played in my younger years and all the concerts I’ve attended I’ve never once crowd surfed. Anybody else been to a billion energetic rock concerts, had the opportunity, and never had the urge, or am I the odd one?

Crypt Custodian was so damn good if I didn’t have a mountain of games to play I’d be all over Well Dweller. Thinking of buying it now anyway to support the dev.

I’m always going to turn down a review if I feel there’s a chance I can’t do it due to the state of my health, but if anybody’s looking for somebody to review Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam, hit me up. I’m deeply familiar with this series, its other media offerings, and the dev.

Count me as another disappointed customer when it comes to Wolverine. This game should kill it with a player like me. Grew up on Marvel comics, brawlers are my speed, Insomniac almost always delivers, and I’m a sucker for PlayStation’s big-budget presentation. But it’s so one-note and such a slog.

This most recent New Found Glory album is the first of theirs that’s captured my attention in a very long time. It’s simple & fun summertime pop-punk. It was nice to reconnect with a band I hadn’t listen to much since my youth. Sad to hear about Chad passing away.

I dunno how I pulled it off, but I made it to the finals in my fantasy baseball league. I hold almost no stat records, most teams have batting production that far exceed mine, I have few aces and built my pitching rotation largely from free agency… as far as I’m concerned, getting here was the win.

Bought it. Seems like a decent budget licensed game. The $50-$100 price (depending on version) is too high. From what I’ve played, $30 feels about right for the content & quality. It’s probably going to connect most with kids who’re fans of the brand over those of us who’ve Burned Out and Forza’d.

How’s that new Hot Wheels game on Switch 2? I need a distraction from not just life but also a break between Elden Ring and Mortal Shell 2 before I crack open the copy of Onimusha that showed up today.

Holy shit am I depressed as hell right now. The death with dignity exploration hasn’t brought me down because I’m suffering so much and it feels like it may be the right thing to do if there’s no attempt to find any relief for me. But the time spent in a chair alone wasting life? I can’t take it.

Elden Ring is so great a replay on Switch is stealing time from almost everything else.

I’ll never draft Kevin Gausman again. What a disaster of a pitcher. That ceiling is so high you can’t just drop him and let the competition use him against you in the playoffs, but that floor is so, so, so low. And there’s no statistical path to knowing when he’s gonna be on or not – it’s so random.

Nintendo likes taking all the money from us Metroid fans, don’t they? If that’s what it takes for the series to be successful and continue, so be it – I’ll buy your collectors editions and toys.

I didn’t have any strong feelings about the Ocarina Of Time remake while watching the Direct, but it looks visually impressive for the Switch 2 and I am excited to play it. Though something kinda feels off, for the most part I trust Nintendo’s handling of its major releases.

Dave Letcavage @holchasaur.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
So there is a Switch 2 version of Maestro that I could only find in a manual search on the eShop, but it appears there’s only a physical release for the original Switch. Any of my friends in media know if this one has a free upgrade or future physical launch for Switch 2? @microidsoff.bsky.social

Dave Letcavage @holchasaur.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
That Maestro demo on Switch was fun, satisfying, and promising. Definitely going to check out the full release. Hope a Switch 2 version/updates improves the visuals a little, though.

Even an overlooked budget licensed platformer like Marsupilami 2 is a reminder I’ll never tire of sidescrolling platformers. I wish there were more high-quality indie attempts at the hop-n-bop collectible-driven platformer (Nintendo-style, less puzzlers). Anyway, bring on Rayman Legends Retold.

Hard to believe my fantasy batting roster is… C - Baldwin 1B - Alonso 2B - Chisholm 3B - Ramirez SS - Turner LF - Schwarber CF - Carroll RF - Soto UT - Acuna (Murakami on bench, Judge on IL) …and I can hardly put up numbers that allow me to compete. Pitching has been carrying me.

Dave Letcavage @holchasaur.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I’m nearly through the first two worlds and Marsupilami 2 is mostly an improvement over the first and continues to follow the blueprint of the Retro Studios DKC games. The only issue so far is that the character switching, which changes out skills, can be a little cumbersome. Takes some patience.

I did a random quest in Mortal Shell II that required virtually nothing of me other than guessing through dialog choices, and credits just rolled. WTF?! Haha. Wasn’t expecting that at all.

Back to Mortal Shell II for a minute. I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the latest patch or what, but I’m noticing more latency with inputs and actions on screen. Like, I’ve been struggling to get my character to heal without hitting up on the D-pad many times. This wasn’t happening days ago.

Dave Letcavage @holchasaur.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Has anybody heard if Marsupilami 2 will be getting a performance update on Switch 2 since it’s launching as a Switch 1 game? Playing on Switch 2 is a blurry 30 fps while PS5 is a smooth 60 fps. There’s no reason I can see why there can’t be parity. @microidsoff.bsky.social

I’m not sure if this is a supply issue or a change in how things work, but lately I haven’t been able to preorder games with store pickup as an option, which I’ve been doing at Best Buy for a long time now. It’s either ship to home or order into store after release. Anyone have insight into this?

Watched TENET for the first time and I honestly want my time back because I didn’t like it at all and would have rather been playing Elden Ring or Mortal Shell II.

It’s rare I use Amazon these days, but I think it’s time I entirely give up on them for books. These things are showing up looking like they’ve been kicked down the street or used as a hammer. I can’t find what I want in store, but any of you use Barnes & Noble? Do books ship n show in good shape?

Listening to the new Dinosaur Jr. album. They’re one of those older bands that’s following the same template with each release – predictable rhymes, simple song structure, little experimentation. But because their vibe is so distinct, their writing so refined, I can accept it. Nobody else like ‘em.

Dave Letcavage @holchasaur.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Is Mortal Shell II really the first Elden Ring-like? If so, what a fine job this team has done. The lack of a mount and a jump function make it feel more like Dark Souls transplanted into an open-world setting than the BOTW-like reinvention that was ER, but that’s just observation not criticism.

How disappointing. I know we can’t stop generative AI in totality, but the more we push back, the better chance we have of minimizing its ubiquity and setting the boundaries of what’s acceptable, which means we hopefully establish strict regulations and save jobs. So just say no until we get there.

Other than finding my spleen loaded with cysts and having it removed for that reason, doctors have never discussed with me that my body is rife with cysts, from joints to organs. I found out yesterday when my wife was going through my tests from the last decade or so. Good to know now, years later.

Finished The Sinking City 2. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I really like what Frogwares does. Even with shortcomings, I’m won over by the character & passion in their work. This game gave me a Resident Evil fix I didn’t know I needed. Add a coat of Lovecraftian paint and it’s a personal highlight of 2026.
