I’m used to Monster Hunter games being laced with crack, but Stories 3 is insane! The interaction between invasive species, endangered species, habitat restoration, and monstie mutations has me in a chokehold. I’m in the second area at over 40 hours and farming mutations is addicting!!

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.

“Back in my day you could get a disc PS5 for $500” This price increase for 6 year old hardware is insane. Thanks AI. 🙃

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).

I’m with you, dude. Like I know spring is days away but it’s literally winter. What are we doing with 90+ weather…?

Thank you. I hope parenthood and your little one are treating you well. I sleep easily at night and so does our little guy so far. Nighttime gaming is surely in my future though lol.

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. 🥹

The next Xbox playing PC games sounds cool but we’ll have to see how it turns out. I bet the Steam Machine got them sweating because if you have a PC (especially a plug & play one like that), there’s no point having an Xbox at all.

They definitely are bashing back and forth in the early levels lol. Level 8 would be great for my Cyndaquil right now because he didn’t get ember until 10! Pidgey got gust at 8 which felt like forever since I caught him at 3 lol. Def get the normal feel and not easy like today’s games.

Pokémon SoulSilver reminding me how hard the old games were and how late your starter gets their first type specific moves until has been great. It was not for the feint of heart back in the day. 😂

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.

Yup. Always grateful to these independent studios. 😌

That’s certainly one way of describing it. And here I was considering going PC and Nintendo only down the line. Hell, still might. At least there are tons of PC only games to play.

I mean, everyone seems to love Dragonite. Give us another flavor, please TPC. 😩

Lmao I hate you for this. Absolutely criminal.

Ryan is probably playing an indie @rygarde.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
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…

Yeah, I have used the one that helps them live longer maybe once. But I actually don’t mind them dying in the fight because it gives me a chance to solo bosses after they’re gone without having to endure the whole thing solo lol.

Ryan is probably playing an indie @rygarde.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
I’ve been using summons. Doesn’t feel like it makes the game terribly easier because the summon usually dies about halfway through a fight lol.

Thank you. This boss def feels like a skill check because most have been doable in about 5 attempts (except the trio of assassins). I’ll keep giving it my best because I know I’m close to the end.
010
Ryan is probably playing an indie @rygarde.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
I know I’m close but this one has been testing me. Appreciate the words of encouragement. Maybe I will get him someday lol. 🥹

When will they realize we have enough of these games on the market and stop chasing that cash cow?

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…

That must be it because it has that special sauce. Turning on my gameboy color for the first time felt like this and the Switch 2 comes close.

If money isn’t an issue, I’d recommend a Sony or LG OLED. We have a 2021 Sony and it’s been great. OLED really is a game changer. If you’re looking at a more budget friendly option, we really like our TCL QLED. Every time we saw it next to the Samsung at Costco we were surprised it looked better.

I really did not like playing handheld on my first Switch until the OLED came out. While the screen on Switch 2 isn’t as good, there’s something about it (maybe size?) that makes it a joy to play on.

Ryan is probably playing an indie @rygarde.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Yeah, you can play your Switch 2 on the TV but there’s something about playing it on its own screen that increases the dopamine hits of gaming by at least 20%
