Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 09/10/2026When I built my first PC years ago, having Giant Bomb/Tested breakdown step by step how to do that in video was game changing. In the years since, forums have helped me develop some appreciation of the nuance between parts, though I do still crave that "how to, for idiots" service journalism. 010
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 06/10/2026An hour into Star Wars Galactic Racer and am already hooting and hollering. Think it has been true for a bit, but this seals it: Star Wars games are better than the movies. 000

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 03/10/202620. Shadow Generations (A new game based on Sonic Generations [also included and remastered] is interesting and probably the best thing to come out of Sonic since the All Star Racing games. The bosses are whatever and the character's edgelord attitude is grating, but I had a good time. 7/10.)static.klipy.comShadow The Hedgehog in Shadow Generations GameplayAlt: Shadow The Hedgehog, a black hedgehog with red streaks in his hair, in the video game Shadow Generations.

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Act 1 of Cai's quest down.

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I am enjoying Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave, but the structure of this game is odd and weirdly paced, plus there are so many characters yet I can't deploy enough of them most of the time to really appreciate their combat subtleties. 100

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 18/09/202619. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Another revisit. Cliche to say Kojima+co. were prescient w/this story about how AIs controlling everything might be bad, but...they were. Also wrapped up a lot of loose threads from previous games, satisfying conclusion. Glad this broke free from PS3.) 100

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 10/09/202618. Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker (Revisited due to Master Collection Vol. 2. Still amazing that this was a PSP game. Think in the cold light of day, it doesn't hold up but the shorter missions work as digestible MGS. Extremely cool art in cutscenes. 6/10 [7/10 if you're a MGS head].)static.klipy.comBig Boss Metal Gear Solid Peace WalkerAlt: Protagonist of video game Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Big Boss/Snake wearing a red uniform is running around a military vehicle on a battlefield shocking an enemy soldier with a stun rod. 100
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 02/09/202617. Pokemon Pokopia (Shocked at how good this is. The best parts of Dragon Quest Builders married with Pokemon turns out to be a potent combo. Pokemon fans with a Switch 2 owe it to themselves to play this. This also...goes some places for a Pokemon game. Loved it. 9/10)static.klipy.comDitto PokopiaAlt: The Pokemon Ditto from the video game Pokopia, smiling at the camera. 100
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 28/08/202616. Triangle Strategy (Finally got around to this. Solid tactics game, but doesn't push the envelope. Got into the story the more it went on and they make some cool choices w/branching paths. Got the Frederica ending ("Freedom"), but they really expect more playthroughs for true ending?) 100

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 21/07/202615. Romeo is a Dead Man (This is my current GOTY. Already loved Grasshopper's sensibilities, and this is the most focused these have come together. Loved combat. Surreal mixed media visuals. I do think some of the Subspace areas are weaker, but can be a nice reprieve from how intense this can be.)static.klipy.comRomeo Is A Dead Man Romeo StargazerAlt: Romeo Is A Dead Man compilation depicting video game protagonist Romeo Stargazer, a man wearing a space helmet, riding a motorcycle with a green trail in space. 100
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 20/07/202614. Mina The Hollower (Hard [but fair!] game w/some interesting bosses and plays with the limited mechanics in fun level design. Thought the twist was well telegraphed but also had a surprise ending. Only critique is the second-to-last dungeon has a puzzle barrier that I had to look up. 8/10) 100

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 09/07/2026That thread really is...something. I was similarly excited about the Crazy Taxi revival until they revealed they were using it for reference. Easy skip now. 010
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Finished the Throes of the Watchmaker, the free post-game DLC for this. Fun circus theme but leans on the game's weaknesses. The character moments in this should have been in the main game IMO. Overall glad I played it. Would be curious to see what these devs do next (they also made The Messenger!) 000
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 02/07/202613. Sea of Stars (Very clearly Chrono Trigger-inspired. Good combat and story is interesting, but feels like there were some details/incompleteness left on the cutting room floor. Really liked the art. Enjoyable romp. 7/10.)static.klipy.comSea Of StarsAlt: Camp scene from video game Sea Of Stars, featuring blue-haired Valere seated, blonde-haired Zale doing pushups, and one-year Garl drinking at a campfire in a wooded area. 100

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 01/07/2026This was a long time coming because of trends, but still stinks! 100
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 01/07/2026There is some new dialogue/cutscenes and everything did feel natural. Didn't visit Fichina on first run and Katt helped out in Sector Z and on Venom 2 since I completed spotlight quest. Only thing from story POV that seemed out of nowhere was Star Wolf dropping in, but I knew that was coming lol 010
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 30/06/2026It's expensive, but we signed up both our kids for Pedalheads which is a week-long intensive bike-oriented summer camp last year. They both hated the first day but by Day 2 they were confidently riding and asking us to sign them up for it again. Very positive experience, but YMMV. 000
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 30/06/202612. Star Fox (Turns out, Nintendo was cooking with SF64. Still slaps decades later. Really like the choices of the Remake, probably the best looking Switch 2 game thus far, orchestral remix of the swelling OST, great VO, and some fleshed out cutscenes to add world building and color. More please!) 200
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Need to put it through its paces but at first blush the dpad feels better than more recent controller dpads. Doesn't appear to have the phantom input problem. Now, is it $100 good? Ehhhhhh It does feel surprisingly comfortable given the form factor though. Good hand feel 010

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 25/05/202611. Titanium Court (A fascinating blend of Match 3 and RTS that's both captivating and infuriating, with an interesting meta-commentary. Feels like someone is constantly messing with you...because they are. Strange and delightful.) 110

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 17/05/202610. Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (Another favorite revisited.

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 07/05/20269. Pragmata (A more-than-solid short action adventure game with dual focus combat. Loved the dynamic between Hugh and Diana. Predictable story, but the ending still got me emotional. 8/10, but exceptionally well-crafted Dead Space-alike that's touching.)static.klipy.compragmataAlt: A gif of Pragmata protagonist Diana dancing cheerfully in her standard oversized blue dress outfit. 110

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 07/04/20267. Sonic Battle (Revisited thanks to acquiring an AYN Thor. Great arena battler on the GBA with a character you can customize with Sonic & Co's moves.

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Saw the Super Mario Galaxy movie. Definitely a kids movie, but also better than first movie in important ways.

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Neither here nor there, but there's an AI survey going around in scholarly publishing and I filed what amounted to a protest vote in my responses.

Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 25/03/2026At least there are long-standing deal feeds like Wario64 and CAG alerting people to actual deals, on top of other resources like IsThereAnyDeal if you're a value-minded gamer (and you should be). 000
Ryan Reeh @ryanreeh.bsky.social · 25/03/2026This combined with the stealth $10 price increase of physical 1st party Nintendo games really lays bare how much these companies want you to be buying digitally. You'll own nothing and like it 🙄 110
