Honestly, I’ve always railed against pineapple on pizza as an abomination so I had to try it for myself. I can say unequivocally that it’s an abomination and not primarily because of the pineapple. It’s the Canadian bacon which I generally like that throws off the taste of pizza.

I am in disbelief. Shock. Bewildered. Seated. I was a bit indifferent on seeing this in theaters until Star Fox was announced. Also shocked this meme isn’t easily found on the interwebs (had to take a screenshot of the GIF).

My son was born 5 days ago and now I know the joy of being a parent. This little guy gave me 2+ hours of gaming today while he took a contact nap too. He’s the best. 🥹

Never really been a fan of Diablos but this description is surprisingly accurate for me. Anyway, I need Monster Hunter Stories 3 yesterday.

My PC in the new case. Feels great to have a quiet (and cool) PC. Temp is in the second pic. You can see while idle or browsing it’s running in the 30s and 40s.

I need a regional variant of Dratini because what do you mean we go from the majestic, blue serpent that is Dragonair to the derpy, gold bipedal Dragonite? It’s always been baffling. Maybe Pokémon Winds and Waves will correct this…

I want to start playing Nioh 2 but I told myself that I won’t until I beat Lies of P. But I don’t know about that anymore because this Walker of Illusions boss is some straight up BS…

Started playing Pokémon SoulSilver for the first time and ran into a shiny Sentret before I even had Pokéballs

Pombon looks adorable but if we know anything about Pokémon, he’ll be bipedal in the end. And personally, Litten has done irreparable damage to me so I can’t trust Pombon. 😂

Pokémon Winds and Waves looks promising. Just by appearances it looks like they have listened to fans and stepped up the visuals. Not being limited by Switch 1 hardware surely helps too. Pretty stoked. 🥹

First time I fought 9 star Jin Dahaad. Easy. Piece of cake. Light work. Tonight. Two straight hours of failure. He got me the first few fights but later, my party members were getting cooked. Why did he have my ass so hard tonight??! 😭

Absolutely cannot wait to cook mfs in Monster Hunter Stories 3 with a Rey Dau on my team. 😌

I’m incredibly happy that we are getting a new Monster Hunter Stories game. After the 2nd game, I wasn’t sure we’d get another. The trial for MHS3 is fantastic too with flashy combat and even more depth than before. And every time I see Rey Dau in a trailer, I only get more hyped.

I usually don’t share too much about my personal life but thought I’d share that I’m going to be a dad in a matter of weeks! Excited to meet our little man soon. 😌

Every time a quality monster catching game comes everyone likes to dunk on Pokémon (as they should) but let’s be real, no one is unseating Pokémon from being the top dog in this genre. And Pokémon’s head is too far up its own ass to care or adapt until a trend is a dozen years old.

Death Stranding 2 has the it factor for me. There’s something I adore so much about deliberate planning for a mission and improvising when it doesn’t go to plan. I also love the feeling of isolation while contributing to the game’s world. I adore spending time in this universe.

Me now that I’m no longer keeping a list or tracking the games I’ve beaten this year, when that feeling that I ‘have’ to return to a game I started

MRW the “tutorial complete” achievement popped in Cairn (you mean the tutorial where I almost died 8 times after leaving the rock climbing gym where I thought it ended??)

Finally started Death Stranding 2 and it feels soooo good to back in this world. Not many games capture my attention so wholly but for such a simple game on the surface, this one has that special sauce that I can’t get enough of.

My Steam Replay 2025. You can tell when Monster Hunter came out and when I started playing my Switch 2/PS5 later in the year. Sadly spent little time on my Steam Deck but hope to change that next year.

Stranger Things has had me on a 70s/80s/synthwave kick and I just discovered Journey’s Who’s Crying Now for the first time and just wow

I’m really enjoying Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth. Something about the mechanics and seeing favorites that are a blast from the past. I’m sad that it took me this long to ever play a Digimon game.

Some exec (in probably every company) somewhere… “This F2P shooter is not like the others. It’s going to be big!”

My 2025 PlayStation Wrap-Up. A stellar year for games. There were so many games I wanted to play but never got the time to.

A few hours into Code Vein and I’m like wtf is going on with this story?? They explained things (maybe too lightly) and it still doesn’t make sense to me lol. It’s a fun souls-like though.

My PS5 has been collecting dust since finishing Ghost of Yotei. Meant to start Death Stranding 2 and just haven’t yet. Instead I’ve been playing Dark Souls 3 and ER Nightreign with friends and started Code Vein, Demonschool, and Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth. 😅

We got a new car! To go from a 20-year-old car to this — feels like I’m in the future lol.

Stranger Things has a way of awakening the often dormant synth wave enjoyer in me and I’m not mad at it

When Ben Franklin said the 2 certainties in life were death and taxes, he didn’t mention the ever present 3rd certainty (probably because as a man in that time he didn’t do them): dishes

Years of the paltry PS5 storage and a 1TB PC have taught me “if I don’t need it, delete it.” It prepared me for only 256GB on the Switch 2.

I think it’s time for me to start Death Stranding 2. But I have other games I want to get back to or finish — GBA Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles, Atelier Sophie 2; and some others I’d like to start —Yakuza 0 replay, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth. Too many games, too little time!

Finished Pokémon Legends Z-A and aside from a couple system tweaks and a fun combat system, it was not very good or fun. Traversal was ass and the setting was boring. It just need more variety and a more engaging story.

Storming a beach with infantry and tanks? Chapter 11 of Valkyria Chronicles most definitely got its inspiration from D-Day. Time for pain. 😭

I’ve been a long time Pokémon fan but the combo of Scarlet/Violet and Z-A are testing the limits of my enjoyment of these games… Fun with great character designs but absolute trash stories and visuals. We deserve better. TPC needs to invest more in Gamefreak.

Finally fought the coolest character in Legends Z-A, Lebanne. I love it when a character lets loose and their personality changes.

I know the songs are different but the Lumiose City song in Z-A sounds similar enough to the X/Y version that I feel like I’ve been hearing a song I don’t really like on repeat for 10 years 😭

Before and after of my PC setup. Loving the new ultra wide but it’s going to be an adjustment because I’ve been dual screen since 2017. The high res really helps though because you get way more real estate than you’d think.

Finished Ghost of Yotei the other day and all I can say is what a game. Amazing in every aspect. The story was a bit predictable so it didn’t hit as hard as Tsushima but it was still powerful and a fantastic time.
