Everyone - this game is seriously one of the best games to come out of 2025 (personally my #2). It's incredible. A must-play and, imo, DF's best work (yet).

So... I'm playing #FireEmblemFortune'sWeave, and... well Does Leda ever "not" suck? Because right now, she kinda sucks. Almost 8 hours in. I also find the writing and dialogue, in general, to be a large step backward from #FireEmblemThreeHouses. Trying to stay open-minded, but man...

Man, I wanna play Orbitals. I also wish Orbitals wasn't out now so I would have the funds to responsibly buy and play Orbitals now lol. Looks so damn good.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I had chickenpox and felt like shit, but playing this game made me realize how locked in you could be with an adventure, and how immersed you could feel as you explored every region, and unlocked every secret.

In a world of everything "needing to be the best" or else it's "absolute trash" - there needs to be appreciation for the middle ground. Lately, I have been playing my favourite "7/10 experience" in a long time. They're important. player.gg/curators/gri...

I'm so proud of my country for standing up to this disgusting child. He's an embarrassment to humanity. Will it hurt economically? Ya, in the short term. Know what? I'm ready for it. Do business with adults. Have fun at the kids table with your bendy straw, you mashed yam.

Ever wondered about a good example of adding 'more' to an established sub-genre ACTUALLY making it potentially better? And not adding needless convolution? Me too... except I found one: player.gg/curators/gri...

With the recent trade relationship breakdown between USA and Canada - I thought I'd share some of my recommendations for some maple-flavoured games out of Canada - no tariffs required! player.gg/curators/gri...

We've had our 'Road to 40' series going for a while, and our friend @wiiji.bsky.social has had to watch Shadow of the Colossus not move up. This weekend, if we raise $100 for Wiiji's Extra Life campaign (link in comments), I will be ejecting SotC into a special one-off stream later this year!
