Played Mario Kart Tour for the last time before it shuts down tomorrow. I loved this game. It has easily the best single player of any Mario Kart. The high score aspect hooked me. I played it daily for about two and a half years. Im glad the best tracks made it to 8, they had some fun designs.

Finished the three new missions in Halo Campaign Evolved. They were great. Way better than the annoying flood missions in the original game.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Finished Halo Campaign Evolved (not including the new missions) It is a great remake with a some fun moments. But I really hate the Flood, they kind of ruin the game for me. Next year I should replay Halo Reach. I remember it being great, but haven't played it since finishing it when it launched.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I played the Stellar Blade demo. I like it, but as usual with this kind of game, Im not very good at it. I will get the game, but not until next year. I have enough to play already.

I tried the Android gestures a few years ago. They work, but I never really liked them. I went back to the buttons the next time I got a new phone and I haven't looked back. Motorola used to have their own version of the gestures that I did like, but it got replaced by the standard Android ones.

Mine was the same. Just a few pixels above it.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Just saw the new Resident Evil movie. It was ok. It fit the Resident Evil theme well, but I was disappointed by the lack of recognisable characters. The Racoon City setting was good with some familiar scenes. Thankfully it wasn't as stressful to watch as Obsession or Until Dawn.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I loved looking around Nakano Broadway. There is so much stuff to find in there. Also in the shopping street near the end towards the train station, there is a place that sells amazing taiyaki.

Zelda was better when Nintendo said there was no timeline

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

New Kirby looks great. Not much else for me in that Direct though. Only Xenoblade 3 and Tomb Raider

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I have preordered OoT and the two amiibo

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Well, that OoT gameplay demo gave me a very bad first impression of the new art style. But by the end of the trailer I mostly liked it. I will be very interested to play it for myself.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

My brother got the BotW vinyl set. Its very cool.

Mario Kart 8 confirmed best Mario Kart ever

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Preorder placed for the deluxe edition. I love 1000xResist. I have already bought it on Switch and Xbox and played it three times. I will play it again on Switch 2.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Finished Dark Auction. To start with, it has a very interesting story, but it really falls apart towards the end. Although it does take some unexpected turns. On the plus side, I did like the the creepy/tense vibe of the story and atmosphere. It has some nice music. youtu.be/aPDtQ_o3KLM

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Got this today. I have been interested in it ever since it came out on Xbox ages ago. I was busy with other games at the time and then I kind of forgot about it. I saw this at EB today, so I bought it.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

My Resident Evil amiibo arrived today. They are very cool. I haven't played Requiem yet, but I will now that I have these.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I actually fell asleep during it

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Halo is the only first person shooter I care about. I only like them for the campaigns. I didnt like how the previous remaster changed the original art style. So I really hope this is more faithful to the original style. It came with a cool coin too, which I wasn't expecting.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Antennapod. It is 100% free, no ads, is open source, works well, has good features. Ive been using it since 2018. Only on Android though.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Finished Rhythm Paradise Grove. It was good and Im very happy to have another game in the series. But I think I still think Megamix is the best one. Maybe I like Groove equally as much as Beat The Beat on Wii. Semi unrelated, I wonder when Bits & Bops will eventually release on Switch.

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Sad to hear Mario Kart Tour is shutting down. Until about two years ago I played it basically every day for two and a half years. Most of that time I also subscribed to the Gold Pass. It is easily the best single player Mario Kart. The high score aspect of it was always fun.

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Arrived today, Dark Auction Switch 2 Edition. From what I can tell it only got a physical release in Japan. I was interested in it because it has the same writer as Another Code and Hotel Dusk. I played the Switch 1 demo earlier this year and thought the story was very interesting.

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Im so happy to have a new Rhythm Paradise game after such a long time. This series and its clones like Melatonin and Bits & Bops are the only rhythm games that I actually like.

030

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Splatoon Raiders looks a bit underwhelming if it is basically just an expanded Salmon Run mode. I was hoping for something new. After that Direct, Im in no hurry to play it.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Finished replaying Rhythm Paradise on Wii. It is great overall. But after replaying this now, and Megamix last year, I think I prefer Megamix, besides the unnecessary story. Im really looking forward to Groove in a few days

020

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

I liked that it has a Japanese song in it

000

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Just played the Rhythm Paradise Groove demo, it is great. Cool that to have a song with japanese vocals. I dont remember that happening in the english games before

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Im going to replay this in preparation for Rhythm Paradise Groove

030

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Finished my replay of Rise of the Tomb Raider. The game is still really good, but I liked it less than I did originally. I think mostly because I dont like the shooter parts of the game so much. The exploration and tombs are still great. Later this year I will replay Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

For fans of Sony and 2000's tech, here is a new video for you. I got a new Dream Machine that was never used for 17 years. youtu.be/FxP_Un6RNxs

That was a great direct. Can't wait for Rhythm Paradise. Looking forward to Splatoon Raiders. Very nice that Stellar Blade is coming to Switch 2, I want to play that. Xenoblade looks amazing. I just can't believe thats all they showed of Zelda.

000

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Why does Link look like that?

100

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Nothing else matters, we're getting a new Xenoblade. Also a Switch 2 version of Xenoblade 3. I will replay it.

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

If the OoT remake is real, I just hope it is good.

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I thought this game was extremely cool, but the puzzles were way too difficult for my liking.

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Just watched the Xbox showcase. Being mostly shooters, there wasn't much of interest. I definitely want to play Fable, Halo and Senua. Maybe Minecraft Dungeons 2. Bad Magpie and Vivarium look interesting, but I need to see more on those.

000

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

I got up at 5am for Summer Game Fest. Resident Evil Veronica and FF7 Revelation are great. I didn't really care about anything else.

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Just got FF7 Rebirth. I mostly liked Remake earlier this year, so I should like this one too. Ive only heard good things about it on various podcasts I listen to. It has reverse box art, which is nice. It looks better than the regular box art. I have no idea who Zack Fair is for this Magic card.

020

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

What about Mint Mobile, which they have talked about on Minnmax?

010

Lvaneede @lvaneede.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Now that The Mario Galaxy Movie is on streaming services, I bought it and made a watchable VHS version for my collection. I recycled a Star Trek Voyager tape, which was just the right length. I then put the box art together based on the official DVD box art, and old VHS movies.
