Pokémon Pokopia asks not to fight, but rebuild with your Poké-pals using Poké-powers (and ingenuity)! 🗑️🎁 And I like when I can relate to other ways to play, often since I do a lot less battling of final bosses IRL than I do fixing things up. Full Feature: www.rpgfan.com/feature/poke...

It's funny to me that Bruce considers himself a working class singer, and he's doing a "land of hopes and dreams" (+ No Kings) tour, but his tickets start at $400 -- an unaffordable price for anybody in the working class.

It's time to go through my favorite games I played in 2025! Starting out with honorable mentions are games I played to death last year, and games I consistently play almost every year: ✩- Fortnite Battle Royale (no-build) ✩- Stardew Valley ✩- Magic Knight Rayearth ✩- Final Fantasy VII (+ remake)

Krusty the Clown aims down the scope of his pistol at an emoting nuclear scary Marge on a farm during the Simpsons season of Fortnite.

Four players are tending a well-decorated farm themed around fishing in Stardew Valley for Nintendo Switch 2.

Magic Knight Rayearth character Umi swings a large magical sword and a ferocious lava enemy in a barren gray grassland.

Final Fantasy seven's Barrett calls to Cloud as he gets off the train in Midgar: "C'mon newcomer, follow me" he says.

In Missouri prisons, people can purchase some Nintendo Game Boy Advance titles on their Securus tablets. Last year, Byron wrote about how Harvest Moon took over his facility: "About a week after the game was made available, it was the only thing you heard many prisoners here talking about."

To commemorate hitting the pie level (314) in Fallout on Thanksgiving, I spent several hours in-game delivering pumpkin pie to people and messaging them “Happy Thanksgiving!”

A screenshot of Fallout 76 showing the pip boy “STAT” screen, character level 314.

Player is looking at a pie dispenser with 6 slices of pumpkin pie ready to be taken.

a player gives me a thumbs up thanking me for the pie, i return a heart emoji.

Finished Shin Blue Version the other day, and it's definitely my favorite Gen 1 romhack now, it is the most polished and customizable version of the early games that doesn't mute or cover up Gen 1's special flavor, a vanilla enhancement hack for the ages: backloggd.com/u/noah_k/rev...

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.
