Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Not gonna lie, Magenta Horizon straight up ruined air juggling for me. Sandbagging enemies can be fun, but having the air become a second battlefield is utterly exhilarating. Control Resonant is still fun, though. Wish they had an option for no magnetism, however. 000
Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The Thaumaturge is crazy good. Maybe its greatest strength is how effortless it makes it to roleplay as Wiktor, a man both aware of his Flaw of Pride and also pridefully in love with that. 100

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 17/09/2026There are so many smart changes to Wo Long 2's combat. Feels like a Nioh 1 to 2 glow-up. It does kind of depend on if they leverage those. For instance, you actually have useful crowd control and aoe abilities now, but if the game doesn't force group fights, it doesn't matter. 100

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 02/07/2026One of the more baffling aspects to the attempted end of physical games is that having a physical store presence matters.

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 28/06/2026God Save Birmingham (beta) is amazing.

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Feels surreal to have a first draft done for my third book, when seven years ago writing one book felt like a distant dream.

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Hilarious that ten years of making soulslikes and Team Ninja has just come back around to making sicko action games again lmao.

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Man, RE Requiem is crazy half baked. The hospital section with Grace is basically a classic RE campaign (sans the gun variety...), but everything afterwards... yeesh.

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Finally playing RE Requiem (early game), and, while enjoyable, I think Capcom needs to go back to the drawing board with their pursuer enemies. They're too leashed and slow to be terrifying, but bulky enough to block off hallways, making you wait somewhere else for them to leave. 100

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Just write. You can salvage a terrible effort, but not one that doesn't exist at all. And, in all likelihood, the ways in which you think what you've written are terrible will differ tremendously from what others make of it. Also, rest easy knowing whatever you write is doubtlessly better than A.I. 000
Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 12/04/2026I very much dislike that the only form of difficulty that seems to be 'sacred' anymore is combat related. Crimson Desert blunting the stamina cost of gliding completely trivializes basically every navigation decision in the game, but is praised as QoL instead of a mistake. 100

Henry "Big Wins" Chan @pudymaster.bsky.social · 23/03/2026I think the writing in Crimson Desert is misunderstood. Very much seems to be in the vein of something more mythic than realistic.
