Back from a terrific time in Toronto. Highly reccomended for excellent (and cheap!) dinners, great views, and if you've got them, great pals 🙏

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”
amazing mission complete that right there is why you're the best boss
Conker’s Bad Fur Day’s glossy Xbox remake getting a 2026 rerelease is a real iPhone Sonic CD moment for people realising it’s easily one of Rare’s worsts. All the edge of a sphere, made more bizarre on the Halo console where none of its pointed jokes at platformers would land.

By the way - if anyone wants to pay me to make some kind of video review about Splatoon Raiders, I'm open to all offers 🙏
Thanks everyone for the kind replies! Good to be back after a few weeks of burnout, and seeing people still vibe with what i'm doing. Next few hopefully coming soon after vacation. In the meantime, I've updated the HOTCYDER steam curator with new additions 🙏 store.steampowered.com/curator/4580...

Was going to hang tight on playing Splatoon Raiders till my vacation, but I’ve now put 8 hours in (and taken 2 bosses out). Really excellent and fresh feeling shooter that feels like Pikmin 4 (Dandori, Dungeons, Devices) laminated into the usual Splatoon thrills. I love the salmonids.
This is great. You can tell a lot of thought went into making it. It bundles indie games into different buckets and discusses genres and trends thoughtfully before diving into the games. Good shit.

Lots of new people finding Rollick N' Roll thanks to this surprise recommendation from @hotcyder.bsky.social ! It's a really thoughtful analysis on video games, their inspirations, and their influences.

I'd love to know how much Tetris 99 has shifted Nintendo Switches after 7 years online. It's like their Fortnite

hot dad@hotterdad.bsky.social · 2w agoi don't usually get involved in drama, but i am the original "discoverer" of joe is hungry, years before he started making viral rounds, which annoy me every time they happen. do not fall for his "nice guy" bullshit because of his editing; he's a curmudgeonly right wing asshole who edits well.
Shout outs to @ashleysponies.bsky.social for doing the core artwork and @hotcyder.bsky.social for providing 4 excellent thumbnail variations for me to use!

The horror of Wolfenstein: The New Colossus is in how much monstrous machinery was already in the US, waiting for someone to plug in. In places the game feels underdeveloped. But one thing stays the same. We're in the Nazi-killing business. And business is good. youtu.be/eIIglIWwwj0?...

Fans of our games may be interested to know that our long-term collaborator Richard Hogg has a new website up at www.h099.com He's done deep-dives into the art direction process for Flock & I Am Dead, as well as tons of assorted visual treats from his past work which should delight true Hoggheads

NEW VIDEO! "Citizen Vigilante" is a grift in the shape of a burning cross. Uwe Boll’s latest release is a targeted campaign of racist disinformation and propagandised bigotry built to entice chuds and deflect blame from those Boll owes his career to: artless tax cheats. youtu.be/RsbwgGoZUaY?...
Taking a moment to admire how weird and cool the "best reviewed games of 2026" are currently.
