Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have finally started playing DQ7 reimagined on the switch 2. The music is so good!! And i love being able to speed up battles, and tweak settings to make things easier or harder. I love having options for my playstyle at any moment 010
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Okay fine I put bsky back on my phone. Maybe I’ll use it more again. I kinda want to keep a log of what I’m playing every day. I don’t know. I’m treating it like old school social media where we just wrote all our thoughts out loud without a care in the world 😂 001
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Right?? They’re the perfect team to make an airport sim game 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I am once again at an airport and begging the @twopointstudios.bsky.social devs to make a Two Point Airport game. PLEASE 🙏 352
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I didn’t share last week that I had written on The Long Play. Because I wasn’t too proud of it. I wrote it on my phone, in the evening, after a long day out. But I wrote something today that I do want to share because it wasn’t written in a dark hotel room 😅 thelongplay.bearblog.dev/i-think-i-mi...thelongplay.bearblog.dev💭 I Think I Miss Having Fewer GamesI've been thinking a lot about how much digital ownership has changed the way I interact with games.

Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Remember that Nintendo switch add where they’re at an airport and share the joycon controller with a stranger? Well today that ad came true. My son made a random friend at the airport and now they’re playing Mario together. 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 09/07/2026One day late, because it's a busy summer holiday already and I didn't want to just rush a post out the door to hit my "streak". thelongplay.bearblog.dev/the-dream-is...thelongplay.bearblog.dev💭 The dream is coffee and a gameGood morning!

Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I’m sorry but Paraguay are you okay? What’s with the violence on the football pitch? Geeze. 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Yes! I am hoping this comes to switch someday. I have plenty of other games to play in the meantime 😅 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I think I’m finally going to give Sea of Stars a try. I’ve had it on my switch since it came out but only played like two hours. 210
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 01/07/20267. Cat Quest - completed July 1 2026. I picked this back up from my backlog because I played the Adventures of Elliot demo and wanted something that would scratch that action rpg itch. This did just that. I love that it is simple. It was so easy to pick up after not playing it for ages. 010
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I dont know what I've done wrong with my threading. I thought my replies would show up in order, alas. 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Honestly, I'm even surprised that I have once again posted a post. Is the habit finally forming?

Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Oooh I have been waiting to hear y’all’s thoughts! Looking forward to listening to it 020
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Oh my gosh. That is so sweet even for a digital doggo. And they can hang out with their other doggo friends. I love this. 020
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Omg same!! I find it so hard to go back without exp share 010
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Thank you so much for sharing your story so openly and vulnerably. I haven’t played blue prince. But I lost my mother when I was 18. And even though it was nothing like your experience losing your father, I also often still look for clues to understand who she really was as a person. 010
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I am trying to prove to myself that I can do this. So i've picked a little corner on the internet to try and do the thing. I kept my own promise and posted two weeks in a row!

Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I was so happy to see Star Fox get the demo! As a kid I found it so hard. I don’t think I ever got past the first level. I really thought that after all these years of gaming I would have gotten better but turns out, it’s still a skill issue 😂 I redid that sharp left/right training way too much 😅 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 10/06/2026yes! So happy to see a take like this. I feel like so many people are constantly so negative about things. But I’m still excited about video games. It’s meant to be fun! 110
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Oh my gosh so much time spent playing this game. I wish I could still play it. It was so good. 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 28/05/2026100% Agree! This game is so cozy. I just put it on, put on a podcast, and drive around. And buy all the cars along the side of the road 😂🚗 020
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 20/05/20266. Super Mario Bros, played through SNES Super Mario All Stars on Nintendo Switch Online. (May 5 2026) I definitely do not remember finishing this game when I was a child.

Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I will absolutely give this a try! I’ve always wanted to. Now if World of Warcraft did the same, I’d be in big trouble 😂 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 23/04/2026I’ve picked up dragon quest V again, after having put it down for a couple months, and oh my gosh…I just…LOVE dragon quest. There is a version of my life where I give up on the DQXI demo for the last time, and never get to experience this 😅 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Which clearly shows me…I have time to game. Why am I always complaining I never have time to game? I put in 45 hours into this in a little over a month… 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 20/04/20265. Pokemon Pokopia - completed on April 19 2026. I’m glad I finally rolled credits on this game. And I’m glad I pushed through to see the credits and how the story plays out. Bittersweet. Also, for someone who constantly complained about pokopia, I did end up logging 45 (or more) hours. 100
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Seeing my son’s reaction to all the crazy wonder effects was the best. And the final bowser showdown was really fun. I imagine it would be a lot harder if I wasn’t a Yoshi. However the joy on my son’s face when he landed the final blow…worth all the Yoshis in the mushroom kingdom 000
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 17/04/20264. Super Mario Wonder - playing this with my son was WONDER-ful…once I accepted the chaos of two players on screen. It helped once I also just became a Yoshi rather than trying to grit through as a Mario or anyone else that can get hurt by enemies 😂 100
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 15/04/2026For some reason it feels like such a hump to open up #pokopia I had planned to just get through the story, but every time I try to boot it up it just feels like a chore 🫣 000

Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 03/03/2026It was so special to now be the mom, handing the DS back and forth between me and my son. I really enjoyed playing through this so many years later. The level design was really good, and as much as Wonder is so wonder-ful, there's just something about a more streamlined Mario experience. 020
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 03/03/20263. New Super Mario Bros (DS) - completed on February 28 2026 with my son ❤️ What a special moment honestly. This game reminds me of when I was six years old, playing NES with my mom and brother, handing the controller back and forth. 130
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 03/03/2026@pewpewbang.bsky.social not @sarahpodz.bsky.social saying “then you’re like walking people. What you’re just doing this for your health?

Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Yay! My favourite podcast is back! I feel like y'all really captured the female experience in this episode. Kelsey's fear of everyone kicking her out of Pew Pew Bang is so real! 010
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Gosh I'm really liking seeing the full cover art for the games! So glad I finally made that change 😅 020
Jopo @levelupjo.bsky.social · 26/01/2026This piece made me remember that time in my life, and how the 3DS was really an important part of me having something that was still truly me/mine regardless of whatever relationship I was in. 110
