Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 13hIn the first few minutes of the opening sequences, Star Wars: Galactic Racer pays more homage to the sequel trilogy than the next twenty years of Disney movies will. 060
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It’s a rule in our house on WFH days that, for every hour worked, five minutes are allotted to just laying down and snuggling the dog. The five-minute limit is negotiable. 280
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Once upon a time, I was working diligently to make GTA VI the first video game to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Guess how that turned out. 1142
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This is one of those exercises where you close your eyes and the answers just rush in. I can see and hear these games, the room I was sitting in, everything I was feeling at the time. But the amazing part is how easily these game-related memories just daisy chain into dozens more. 030
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A dumb Taylor Sheridan cowboy soap sent me down an internet rabbit hole, and now I’m cursed with the knowledge that one of the flags in “Six Flags” is the Confederacy’s. 240
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 19/09/2026There’s a fun quest in Control 2 where Dylan gets really upset that the FBC is using Flock cameras to spy on ghosts and ghouls. 010
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I wasn’t exactly a diehard fan of either Control or Firebreak but I think it’s clear this world has legs, and you can basically set any genre in it and there’s something to mine there. It’s smart of Remedy to keep dabbling in different types of gameplay. 010
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The funniest thing about Physint is that we probably wouldn’t have heard anything about it for years before Kojima suddenly had a bone to pick with his ex. 150
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I genuinely didn’t realize that the Emmys were on tonight. Didn’t “TV’s biggest night” used to be on Sundays when people were actually excited to watch? 040
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026There are some very braindead story threads and plot points in the Wolverine game. Just like the comics. Super authentic there. 020

Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Wolverine is just a mediocre Super Nintendo game gussied up to look modern. It would be a Blockbuster rental. 061
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The issue with the Metroid Prime series is that they’re interquels, so nothing of consequence can ever really happen. Samus can fight all the doppelgängers and become telekinetic, but doesn’t make a difference. The real story happens afterward regardless. It’s anime filler shit. 120
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Got my first new pair of glasses in eleven years. Basically feels like wearing VR goggles that only show real life. 041
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Just got a rejection letter from a company that was basically gutted and closed months ago. Glad to see there's still some bot catching up on their paperwork. 1100
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I’m working on a dream project and had some of the best interviews of my career this week. It’s a nice counterbalance to… literally everything. 0100
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 27/08/2026We can pontificate all we want about the issues surrounds GTA VI, but the reality is that we don’t have enough games starring hot Latinas in cut-offs. Maybe other publishers should step up so we’re not so starved for this. 181
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It’s funny to me that, because of Rockstar’s insane development cycle, there’s a whole generation of adults who grew up playing GTA V as kids. Bitch, this used to be a top-down pixel shooter where most of the real violence was in your head. 070
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 27/08/2026GTA 2 is still my favorite. That’s not some contrarianism; I was just young enough to really appreciate the gratuitousness of the franchise when that one hit. I played the hell out of the rest, but it all a fleeting feeling in comparison. 130
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 27/08/2026“You can’t buy a happy meal for Hello Kitty x Godzilla toys. You’re practically 40.” Watch me. 270
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It doesn’t feel good to quit a job when you’re hard up for money but the one thing I’ve learned from all these Gen Z kids is to value yourself more than the company values you. 0111
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I’m sorry to any genuine Green Lantern fans out there but ‘Lanterns” is the most interesting version of the entire premise I’ve ever seen. 270
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Disney marketing should just be: • If Thor has short hair, movie good • If Thor has long hair, movie bad Look! Such short hair for Doomsday!! 👏🏼🙏🏼 010

Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Marvel Tōkon is one of the few 2D fighting games that I think feels better with a controller over a fight stick. I just wanted a reason to break them out 🥲 120

Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 31/07/2026‘House of Stassi’ is genuinely insane. A show starring one of reality TV’s worst villains that’s explicitly about how horrible she was and still is to everyone around her. Produced and completely narratively driven by said villain, very proudly. It’s an embarrassing vanity trainwreck. 10/10. 170
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Every console should have an ‘update all’ button for games. They seem to be very picky about what games deserve to be updated until you try playing something from a month ago. 020
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Interview #1: "Oh wow, I feel really good about how that went." Interview #2: "Oh god, everything's gone off the rails. Why do you hate me? Nevermind, I hate me, too." 060

Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Birthdays mean less in my late thirties but this one feels particularly muted. These past eight months of unemployment have been the fastest of my life — that's genuinely terrifying. Don't stay complacent, folks. Enjoy the good, push through the bad, and never let time just slip by. 181
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Reddit called ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ “Cameo Slop.” 071
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 24/07/2026It’s Sophie’s gotcha day. These five years have just flown by. She’s a menace and a mush, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 070
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 20/07/2026It's still really funny to me that neither the new Spider-Man or Avengers movies will have IMAX releases because of conflicts with Nolan and Villeneuve films. It's like two halves of Reddit eating each other. 020
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Marvel dropping the cinematic equivalent to an unsolicited text to their ex. No one fucking cares, Kevin. This ended seven years ago! 031
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I’m not a family guy. I’ve learned to love other people through my partner. But I found deep value in a family reunion where an 8-year-old screams, “Guys! What is a stripper!?!” 040

Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Science Saru should be making the Absolute Batman show. 040
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 17/07/2026One thing that irks me is on-screen text that disappears too fast. Like, a very basic thing you’re taught in film or tv school is that all textual information needs to live long enough to be read aloud twice. That’s how long it takes the average person to read. Just slow the fuck down. 161
Chris Cruz @yochriscruz.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Rewatching the 1995 Ghost in the Shell for the first time in probably 20 years, and I forgot how much it resembles Blade Runner in that a third of the movie consists of scenic cyberpunk b-roll with monologues and conversations completely disconnected from what’s on screen. (Not a criticism) 040
