That's Elden Ring playthrough 3 down. Heavy Stone Club, no spirit ash, no multiplayer, no incantations/spells/status items, sl150. The fans INSIST that's the best way to play, but honestly, I had the most fun in playthrough 1 with the silly summons. They're fun! Stop telling people not to use em!

I'm such a fan of the Marathon series that I was still kinda hoping that Bungie would save it... but sheesh, it's dipping to ~700 players at night, and they just canceled seasonal updates. Well, not like I'm helping, I didn't even buy it myself... but even so, that game really coulda been something.

Moon was recommended to me a long time ago, and I'm finally getting around to it. Within the first 10 minutes, I'm like holy SHIT this feels EXACTLY like Chulip, there's GOTTA be a connection, right? Sure enough, different company, but same director. Still got it with the obscure game knowledge baby

Happy 40th birthday to Metroid, a series so forward-thinking that its best entry was designed to be played on a 32-inch LCD monitor, despite how it was released on a graphing calculator. (I love you Metroid 2 but ONLY because I didn't have to play like a scribe reading with flickering candle light)

Ghost Rider is tied for my favorite Marvel character, so a new movie with Ryan Gosling? Peak. First time I've been excited for a Marvel movie since... ever? I mean, I know it won't be as weird or horrory as I would like, but eh, just seeing the character on screen again's good enough for me.

Finished Mouthwashing, and it's another game to add to the list of "why did THIS blow up?" It's mostly just a run-of-the-mill, trashy glitch-horror indie game. A shallow exploration of sensitive topics through stock archetypal characters, seemingly just for shock value. 0% recommend.

This is what I mean by saying Cairn has unpolished mechanics. One of these two images has her left hand in a secure grip. The other has a suboptimal grip. I die if another limb also grips poorly. Can you tell which is which? Answer in alt text. (grip feedback isn't even enabled by default lmao)
This is Aava from Cairn on the side of a mountain. Her left hand is (apparently) securely gripped.This is Aava from Cairn on the side of a mountain. Her left hand is (apparently) NOT securely gripped. It looks the exact fucking same as the last image.

Started Cairn, and it's neat. I always wanted a version of Death Stranding where you actually needed to prep/calculate and take risks, and that's what this is. Kinda. Its mechanics are unpolished enough to where it can feel more like Qwop: Story Mode at times, but the heart was in the right place.

Played through The Case of the Golden Idol today. All I knew about it was that it was a mystery game with a strong cult following (97% positive on steam), and it's... fine. Met expectations more or less; worth the $8 sale price. But man, *97 percent*? People LOVE it, and again, it's... fine.

Holy shit the Dead Space series is on a ridiculous discount, with most games at ~80% off, the remake at 90% The remake is more different from the original than it seems, better and worse in various ways... but six bucks?? Dead Space 2 for four bucks?? If you haven't played 'em yet, now's the time

Just got my order from @taiyakipress.bsky.social! I didn't notice the color gradient when I ordered the SF6 ones, so I was blown away when I opened the pack. It also included some mostly naked Guilty Gear dudes, so you know this is the ♂️ right ♂️ store. Great additions to the fridge, still on sale!

My quick RE tier list, updating for post RE9 thoughts. I feel weird putting 7 that high, since I don't even like it that much. But... I respect it. Especially with how they did so much creative and WEIRD stuff with the DLC. I don't feel weird about liking 3make though, that game's cool.
RE tier list for 2026.
S- REmake, 4, 2, 2make
A- 3, 3make, 7
B- 5, 9, DS, 4make, Rev, Rev2
C- Outbreak, CVX, 6, 0

Microsoft is in a tough spot these days. I see the Gears reveal and think "Ah man, I would be excited for this if every Gears since 2008 hadn't been kinda underwhelming" Then I see Halo, and think "Ah man, I would be excited for this if every Halo since 2010 hadn't been kinda underwhelming"

I downloaded Marathon to try it for the free week, and it's funny how even if all the Bungie branding was stripped out, I would still know it's made by the same people as Destiny 2: you get a short tutorial followed by 18 pages of menus and explanations of menus, and then you're dumped on your ass

Wolverine looks... surprisingly unimpressive? I guess it's hard to match how fun it is to swing around as Spider-Man, cause the action looks incredibly standard. Also, even as a comic appreciator, I've never liked how Wolvie's costume looks in 3D adaptations, and this is definitely no exception.

Yacht Club made it clear that Mina the Hollower is make-or-break for them, so I'm getting worried about these mid reviews. Especially the ones that say it's another poor copy of the Souls formula. I didn't even like that Souls stuff in Hollow Knight, so if Mina is even Hollower, that's a problem.

Finished Vagrant Story, and it's shot to the top of my (very short) list of games which I think need a remake. Dynamic weapons the PSX ram couldn't handle. Complex world with a terrible map system. Intriguing plot with critical details only in the Japanese guidebook. Mediocre, full of potential.

The Lanterns trailer looks pretty good, but I would like to see a series inspired by Grant Morrison's run. Specifically, the part where a team of emotionless lanterns handles the galaxy's most traumatizing jobs in order to save on trauma counseling, but one member actually *does* have emotions.
Green Lanterns investigate a corpse planet, with a bug-like lantern saying that they only have one emotion, and another lantern has zero, which makes for a low trauma counseling bill. The third lantern, unfortunately, does have them.

Started Ace Combat Zero, and it's amazing how consistent AC is with its mission design strategy. It's like... Basic air-to-air mission. Anti-ground mission. Gimmick mission. Hardest fucking mission you've ever played in your life with 3 phases and a boss ambush. ...easy pick-your-target mission.

Had a whim to replay Star Fox 64, and wowie wow I forgot how much I *adore* this game and this franchise. It has minor flaws, but it's BURSTING with personality and creativity within a focused design scope. My next commission has gotta be a Star Fox 2 style portrait with a character I design.

A few hours into Shin Megami Tensei 5, and I'm definitely impressed by the variety of the mechanics on offer. However, this afternoon, I got bored after an hour of playing it, and started teaching myself how to use CAD software instead, which doesn't bode well for my chances of finishing it.

Just 100% completed TR-49, which has a very interesting style for a deductive game. However, it has essentially no deduction, and is more of an exercise in monotony/repetition than in critical thought. Very surprised to see it has a 95% rating on steam, I would give it a hard pass.

Trolls in games are so prevalent that they practically make up the majority of certain communities... but meanwhile, I got an invite for Deadlock, and am too scared to actually play, since I'm afraid I'll ruin someone's game by being bad. The style and tutorial sandbox features are nice though.

First impression (8 hours) of Nioh 3 is that it's nice. Which, for a Nioh game, is kinda worrying. The relentless pace of its challenges has been its identity since Nioh 1. On the other hand, Nioh 1/2 were kinda exhausting, and this still has better structure than Elden Ring... so I give it a pass.

It drives me crazy when you get an amazing comic run, but then its plot becomes incomprehensible thanks to tie-ins to other series, to leverage its popularity. Johns' Green Lantern crossed 3 series at one time, and now I see Cates' Venom crossed with 2 back to back. Just tell one story please.
010
Uni @uni-versal.bsky.social · 01/02/2026
A lot of the time I'll read popular runs like Batman Hush or Long Halloween, and find them just sorta boringly agreeable. But I just started Cates' run of Venom, and it really is the coolest shit. I'm noticing that between Venom, Ghost Rider, and Hulk, that shared-psyche characters are my jam.

Two hours into Silent Hill F, which in the rest of my life I'll only call "Silent Hilf", and it's ok. Combat isn't as bad as I expected, though the complaining I've heard makes me want to append "yet" to that statement. Still not hooked by the story though, when 1-4 all did that pretty quickly.

It's funny how often the lamest characters get the best comic runs. Animal Man, Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, Starman, even Daredevil... and I'm thinking about this because I just started Venditti's run of Hawkman, and it's genuinely incredible. Rock bottom has a deceptive amount of potential energy.

I was reading Flash comics and had my mind blown when, in a comic from 1995, someone says "This ain't it, chief". It felt like "modern" slang had slipped into the past, but wait: Impulse is from the future, visiting the world of 1995. The writers accidentally nailed it. Mind blown again.
