I realllly clicked with Saros. The gameplay is so fun. I quickly became addicted to running and gunning when that flow state hits. It also has some super cool sci fi vibes and unique environment art to back it all up. My video here: youtu.be/00958_ZZI7o?...
Pragmata is SOLID. Didn't change my life or anything, but every gameplay mechanic is rock solid satisfying. A well paced, well designed adventure that hooked me through a reasonable runtime. Just old fashioned fun + endearing characters. ...I actually liked the robot kid? GG Capcom
Watching the latest @friendspersecond.bsky.social podcast and @jakebaldino.com is talking into a wooden spoon.
Resident Evil Requiem is a HELL of a ride. Hybrid new vs old gameplay is brilliantly executed & fun. It re-uses some stuff from previous games and I wish it did more story-wise w/ Raccoon It goes nostalgia BANANAS. I was mashing the screenshot button. Loved it! Avoid spoilers!
I've played 3hrs of Resident Evil 9. Good survival horror w/ Grace, nice evolution of RE4 w/ Leon. Zombies are surprisingly unique/weird, making an almost Bioshock-like sandbox ecosystem while you explore. GREAT gore, cool lore implications too I made a video - link here: youtu.be/KpMDyWG-KN4

on @friendspersecond.bsky.social this week, I made statements suggesting Bluey is both a "guy" and a "raccoon" I deeply apologize for these statements and will work to be better.

my Spotify wrapped: the other day I asked my smart speaker to play "relaxing 1940's music" and it proceeded to play a bunch of fake made up AI songs that pissed me off. If I wasn't familiar with 40's music/genre, I would've been none the wiser and just ended up listening to AI music. Come onn

not the biggest Roman Empire guy (I know, I know) but Anno 117 absolutely freakin rules dude. I'm hooked
Gamer parents, @jakebaldino.com has a important message for you!
Silent Hill f- mostly straightforward survival horror with iffy combat that hooked me with the art, mood, strange moments, and great storytelling. That's SH in a nutshell right there lol I think hardcore SH fans will appreciate it. 1/2
samus on a cool motorcycle... it just makes sense, man. why have I never even imagined something like this?
Hell is Us! Combat is disappointing but the puzzles, exploration, discovery, & overall atmosphere more than make up for it. A 3rdperson action adventure that just drops you into a world and says "idk, you'll figure it out." You certainly need to be in the right mood for it, but I loved it! ART.
heading to Ireland soon, just for fun. Gonna be hitting Dublin, Galway, Kenmare, and surrounding areas. Anything I should know? Any recommendations welcome. I'm going in blind
Metal Gear Solid DELTA is a safe remake, but I don't think I'd have it any other way as a fan. It looks better (characters especially), plays a little better, and nothing was cut or altered. Flaws, fun, heart and all. A few little neat surprises too. Welcome to MGS fandom 🫡 1/3
The Animatrix is free on YouTube in the US right now. It's a great collection of shorts and features material from people that worked on Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Aeon Flux, and more. Check it out if you've got 100 minutes to spare. youtu.be/QNVeOWDOvvU
