Gosh, really sad I'm not enjoying SH Townfall so far. I'm too much of an impatient bitch to enjoy stealth honestly But then again, I don't know who looked at SH and thought it should be a poorly-designed stealth game and also punish you for killing enemies.

The term ‘anti-art’ gets thrown around too much nowadays but I believe people who skip cutscenes are indeed being anti-art.

People who skip video game cutscenes on their first playthrough are dangerous and must be stopped at all costs.

It was an absolute pleasure to review Black Jacket for Minimap. It's a fantastic game, and to me, the most underrated title of 2026 so far. minimap.net/magazine/min...

Honestly how fucking horrendous the NYCHA Self Service Portal site is. Every year I always find it to be terrible. Constantly locks up, doesn't update things properly. Garbage site.

Until Activision stops using GenAI in COD, I won't be playing it again. You have more than enough money as a company to pay some artists.

Strain has gotten better. Caught some kind of bug with sore throat, fatigue and sneezing but should be fine. Back to the grind 😤

I strained my right arm pretty bad recently, probably from overwork. So it's been hard to write or game these last few days. I've been doing it sporadically though. And its easier to type on a phone. I did start RE4 OG today though. Only 3 hours in and I'm impressed.

Scrolled through this writer’s work and they’ve written 6 negative articles on Fortune’s Weave thus far. Surely you can do something better with your time than harping on this for clicks.

Finished Resident Evil 4 (2005). Fantastic game! Very impressed overall. Rest in power to the homie Mike the helicopter pilot, I will see you in Valhalla 🙏

Feel a little bad that the AAAs I tried this year didn't really do much for me. Favorite games of the year so far are Indies - Esoteric Ebb, Black Jacket, and Denshattack! Definitely gonna catch up on a bunch + new releases tho.

Still dealing with an arm strain but I managed to type up a short piece on Lost Wiki: Kozlovka! I wasn't particularly enthused the way I wanted to be but it's a solid little game and the devs have great potential. medium.com/cryscore/los...

Marvel Rivals is my comfort game and I don’t appreciate the way it gets slandered by bad faith actors online who don’t play it themselves. Lost my enjoyment for several things already and don’t want to lose that since I need an outlet to go back to.

Shot in the dark here - does anyone else who uses Xbox Game Streaming noticed recently that PS5 controllers don't work with it anymore? My controller's been a little weird lately with Steam too tbf, but just checking

Love this game but I noticed something about the way the face cards are drawn which I can't unsee

Trying Black Jacket, the Blackjack Roguelike tonight and I'm a fan. Surprised at how addicting it is

I opened my own Medium publication since I felt a lot of my reviews on Backloggd were going to waste relative to the effort I put in them. So just putting them all in one place is lovely for me.

I am not reviewing Star Wars Zero Company for Minimap but my friend Shawn is and you should read his review! I opened my own Medium publication where I wrote my own lengthy review of the game. ZC is a solid game but it unfortunately has a lot of flaws. medium.com/cryscore/sta...

I completed Denshattack and I have to admit, I didn't think it'd be my type of game, but it's genuinely fantastic and very well-designed. It's certainly one of the better games I've played this year.

There's so much PORTS

I am sure there are no vulnerabilities in Exophase or SteamDB and the achievements for unreleased games would *never* be easily accessible online. That'd be crazy!

Combolands was a lovely little game and my favorite Balatro-like so far after trying many of them. I believe it's worth a shot if you're looking to scratch the itch. Civ VI city/district planners will like it too! Needs some tweaks but its still great! minimap.net/magazine/min...

Combolands is the Best Balatro-Like Yet | Magazine | Minimap

Combolands is the best in the Balatro-like subgenre thus far since it understands the need for build diversity and variance between runs.

Went for a look more inspired by Mira from KOTOR II (the best I could do considering the clothing options) She’s pretty tho!

Tried making my Hawks in Zero Company look like FemShep but she just kinda came out looking like this since the hair style options suck Now she looks like someone familiar who I’m blanking on
