Popping back in to say that I hope that you're all doing exceptionally well. Also, (relevant to me trying to get Gold rank in Marvel Rivals for that Deadpool skin) I'd rather lose with a team I like than win with a team I hate. That applies to all aspects of my life but especially gaming.

I'm going to be taking a big step back from social media for a while. I've truly enjoyed 99% of the interactions I've had on here with you all but I want to focus on my creative outlets and actually playing games. Unfortunately being on socials feels more and more like a distraction every day.

Whatever you celebrate, whatever you believe, I hope that you spend this holiday season doing something that makes you happy surrounded by people that love you. ❤️

Despite its faults, Pokemon Legends Z-A has become my second favorite Pokemon game (just under Black and Black 2 which are tie). 65+ hours in and I've yet to feel a dip in my enjoyment of it. It also gave my favorite Pokemon a Mega so bonus points.

When I say I like something it doesn't mean I don't have issues with it or that I'm glazing, it just means I'm just not a perpetually online miserable motherfucker. Your inability to enjoy things is your problem, not mine. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Look man, I absolutely hate generative AI as much as the next guy but we can't keep grabbing torches and pitchforks every time someone says AI. "AI" is being used as a catch-all for both the useful and the scummy stuff.

there are, and have been, legitimate procedural and machine learning techs: they handle the work internally in a program/system, and aren't necessarily reliant on the mega-data infrastructures that genAI is infamous for, but slimeballs took up "AI" to lump it together to finesse billions away

Conversations surrounding media are no longer about the media itself but about demonstrating how your opinion about said media is superior to all other opinions. Forget about nuance, discussion, and understanding. Everything is black or white, you're right and they are wrong.

Got a pretty decent promotion at work but it's a bit overwhelming how quickly things fell into my lap. That said, I'm excited for the bulkier paycheck since it's just in time for the Steam Winter Sale.

I'm both excited for and horrified to dive into the World of Warcraft player housing. The pure amount of options and flexibility is going to consume me.

During the most busy time of the year. Please remember that the people who work in stores are doing their very best to help everyone and probably haven't had a break. 🛍🎁 There is again ZERO reason to be a huge jerk to them, be kind and patient. 💗

Every year I feel like it gets harder and harder to pretend that the Game Awards is an actual celebration of games and their creators. Nothing wrong with enjoying it as a big and bombastic showcase but this show continues to find new ways to disrespect the people actually working in the industry.

Smash JT is a scumbag who has done an obscene amount of damage to individual developers, studios, and gaming communities as a whole with his dipshit racist/misogynist grift. Him sitting there and smiling like a turd at the Game Awards is like a fucking ICE Special Agent celebrating Cinco de Mayo.

I will not speculate on The Game Award winners because I haven't played enough of those games. All I know is I want to play all of those games and can't seem to find the time. 😢

Typing out a generative AI script doesn't make you a creative. You're a glorified thief using 0s and 1s like an automated tracing marker. AI 100% made this and it's fucking embarrassing.

So apparently in Metroid Prime 4 the motorcycle desert section is by design supposed to feel isolating and eerie hence the lack of music. You can unlock a "radio" or "jukebox" for those sections that plays other tracks from the game by beating the game/using the amiibo. It's a bonus.

Capitalism worked when companies used to invest and compete to make better products that people in turn would really want to buy. Value for the consumer. Now it's all about making the cheapest product possible with the cheapest pipeline that will still sell. Value for the company/share holders.

The only downside to choosing to send out a bunch of sincere messages to people that you're grateful for early on Thanksgiving Day is having to reply later on once they've been read. I've already slipped into antisocial mode, my lovelies. We'll catch up after Black Friday.

We're watching Stranger Things S5 and taking a shot every time a random character dies, two shots every time a secondary character dies, and three shots every time a main character dies. Working my way through episode 3 and I don't think my liver survives this season guys ...

Wicked For Good definitely feels padded but that was always going to happen having Act 2 be its own movie. It's darker, sadder, and a bit more disjointed but it sticks the landing. Walked out appreciating my friendships and what they mean to me. I really like this adaptation.

Not to throw shade at Shroud but he also did say that "multiplayer games need a win" about an industry dominated by live service and multiplayer games ... Also, it's not that the world isn't ready for AI it's that no one who respects games as an art form respects generative AI.

J2Kmn @j2kmn.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

There is no middle ground in discourse between AI tools (the middleware mentioned) and generative AI because they're two different things! AI tools are there to help streamline and speed up the dev process, generative AI is there to replace devs. There is no middle ground here imo.

With how people currently feel about Microsoft (aka the future of Xbox) and even to an extent Sony, this might actually be the perfect time for Steam to strike and try to convert some console players to their PC ecosystem. IF it's powerful enough, easy to use, and hits the right price point. 👍

The Outer Worlds 2 constantly makes me chuckle while simultaneously keeping me wildly uncomfortable being wedged between the horrors of late stage capitalism and the horrors of authoritarian communism/socialism.

I really do appreciate anyone who still chooses to play online games with me. At this point in my life it's unlikely I'll be getting much better mechanically so I'm giving in and embracing the fun chaos and good vibes.

The reason modern Yu-Gi-Oh! isn't fun for me (and hasn't been for years) is because it's not about the "duel" with another player anymore. Now it's about one turn, never-ending combos to create unbreakable boards. Tit for tat gameplay is gone and that was my favorite aspect of the card game.
