iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Given I'd never heard of this before, the past history of sixteen releases over the course of five years, and any willingness to discuss the notion of ROI, I'm gonna say I have zero reason to care about it now. May the grifters be swallowed by the endless abyss of their own greed.

Oh believe me, the myriad of things involving the Ramjet absolutely tickle my brain, I love pushing it to the limit. But if you litter the map with Mines using a Scrubber, or Overcharge Autopilot with an Impact Shield and Ion Shot... bullying technically takes a lot less work, lmao

Turf is definitely an acquired taste, speaking as someone who loved it a lot and 100%'ed both Turf and Tides. I do absolutely think Turf overstays its welcome just a bit with too many levels, odd as it feels to say. Tides felt just perfectly right in size and took me 12 fewer hours to 100%.

Naivete is wanting to be the best Galactic Racer player by mastering the game's excellent controls and razor-sharp mechanics, to be the very fastest of them all. Reality is realizing Sebulba was right and the way to win is by just fucking killing everyone.

I don't know what you were expecting to happen when you unleashed Maid Bael into the world, because this definitely checks lmao

I Need To Keep Playing Star Fox

SerinVeya @serinveya.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It's really funny to me that I'd finally watched @kingklonoa.bsky.social's Star Fox video on Monday night, only to get ferally obsessed with Star Wars Galactic Racer's campaign last night to the exact same tune of "just one more run". Galactic Racer is a red hot banger, EXTREMELY highly recommend.

I did! I love checking in on my home base to see what's new in most games that support that kind of thing. Also got into the habit of checking every hub zone in Freedom Planet 2 every time I finished a story arc for the sake of getting new dialogue, I love that kind of thing.

SerinVeya @serinveya.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Oh man, I tried the VR mod that recently came out over the weekend, and The Gauntlet is an entirely new experience when you're desperately trying to take all the familiar tech you know on a controller and struggle to do it on touch controllers.

People actively harassing Ana Valens need to fucking S T O P . Either direct your brain-poisoned rage towards actual fascists, or get off social media and let your abused brain have an opportunity to breathe. She doesn't deserve this, never has, and you're fucking despicable if you think she does.

If we're going less specifically on a scale of favourites and more on things that have had permanent effects on my brain chemistry...

"My 9 Games" list, from left to right, top to bottom:
Warframe, Unreal Tournament (1999), Star Wars TIE-Fighter
Pokemon Crystal, Super Mario Sunshine, Sonic Adventure 2
World of Warcraft, Mass Effect 3, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Kinda makes me think of Suika Game, but the physics and jiggling shapes has got a really appealing look!

SerinVeya @serinveya.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Looking forward to it, but I hope this is very much a one time experimental thing. Warframe is usually really great about not engaging in FOMO, so it kind of sucks to know Epoch Operation will eventually join Scarlet Spear in the lost memories of the past.

Nono, Yoda is Yoda. They're correct. However, it has to specifically be classic puppet Yoda. No prequel CGI allowed.

For a very long time, this was my favourite game of all time. While things have shifted with time, UT99 remains not just my first exposure to shooters, but still one my gold standards for how its speed, aggression, and gunplay shaped my tastes and wants for not just shooters, but gaming in general.

One of those moments where one is tempted to ask why it seems so difficult to do the bare minimum, but then remembering the state of biases in medicine, knowing it's probably just a straight up microaggression.

SerinVeya @serinveya.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Also fuck Epic Games, fuck Tim Sweeney, and fuck the AI grift at the heart of Fortnite. But that probably goes without saying.

SerinVeya @serinveya.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

YEEEEESSSSS. I've said for years that Fortnite actually fucking sucks for crossovers, since it's not actually honouring the characters' abilities or personalities, the things that makes them iconic. It's just familiar faces strapped over the same skeleton and animations doing the same mundane shit.

HAAAAAATE IIIIIIITTTTTTT I can't find a way to turn the damn thing off, and the desktop player has been getting so choppy and unreliable, it genuinely feels like the entire platform is starting to collapse in on itself.

000

Man. I wanted a Steam Frame so I could finally justify getting rid of my Oculus Quest 2 and deleting my Facebook account. Over $1500 CAD, man... this AI bubble cannot pop soon enough. Fuck every AI company, executive, and grifter.

I'd honestly argue Halo was all about PVE too. Halo multiplayer was unique, mainly being an arena shooter on console where nobody else competed with it, but what made Halo's gameplay interesting was tight level design and a genuinely interesting sandbox of weapons and enemies.

000

Honestly, I love the original concourse to bits, but this upscale is just... *ick*. It looks awful.

SerinVeya @serinveya.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

If anything, knowing they're gonna be hand-animated is something I'll be watching for and impressed by, absolutely. Looking forward to it!

This is genuinely good, though, love to see it.

Honestly, I hated how those features had a nasty tendency to intercept emails and shove them into unrelated feeds. Had an important tax email get sent to Promotions once, almost caused a lot of trouble. I was happy to spend an hour or so manually creating tabs and filter lists. So clean now.

He also forgot both Bushes and Nixon, which is just hilarious. The man cares more about shitflinging at Biden and Obama than acknowledging there were other Republican presidents than him in his lifetime, lmao

Straight up. I've been ride or die for Halo for a long time, but swore I would refuse to buy Campaign Evolved on principle if it had any GenAI, either disclosed or discovered post-launch. ... Then I didn't buy it because it looked like an awful, soulless asset flip, but that's a different story.

Absolutely. Always been my favourite Mario game, and sits comfortably in my top 25. Streamed a 100% run of a mod called Super Mario Eclipse last year, and it was like falling in love all over again.

SerinVeya @serinveya.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I absolutely love seeing Boomer Shooters expanding and trying new thing. "Doom/Quake, but (x)" is fine and all, but it's so much more exciting to see how unique and interesting a sandbox can be. Selaco in particular has recently had my attention, love seeing where they're going.

If I would've been considering buying that cheap, soulless asset flip before, I sure as shit wouldn't be now. I've been at least somewhat optimistic and hopeful for 343i with every release, despite their flaws, but it finally seems to be the end of the road. Halo is just straight up gone for good.

Truck-Kun Is Supporting Me From Another World is also a recent banger, and Demon Tides is still the frontrunner for my favourite game of the year. There's so much gold to be discovered, and it's honestly not too hard to find. Lot of people just need to break out of AAA comfort bubbles.
