Beast of Reincarnation is out of stock in certain stores. Not the first physical game in recent months that can't meet demand. We saw this for Capcom titles as well. Shows another reason why sales numbers don't tell the full picture when it comes to consumer preference.
A certain Portuguese retailer is having a 23% off campaign storewide at the moment, which allowed me to purchase several PS5 games at ridiculously low prices brand new. This is the kind of choice and healthy commercial competition that @playstation.com wants to take away from us. Food for thought
Guess what - I bought this *physical* video game today for 16€ because I traded in another *physical* video game and got 19€ back on my purchase. Amazing how well the *physical* medium works, and how unbelievably anti-consumer it is for @playstation.com to try and kill it. We want digital rights.

Hopefully every enthusiast on the planet will stop supporting Sony from this gen on. They managed to demolish decades of goodwill in a single greed-fueled blog post. Good luck with your monopoly, @playstation.com. #NoDiscNoBuy

I've been downsizing my headphone collection to just keep a solid value setup for both music and gaming. Ended up keeping my DT-770 Pro X LE for late night listening and bought a pair of V2 Sennheiser HD 560S for everything else. Both are driven by the Fiio K11 R2R, which works out wonderfully.
Short of the 1990 Pro MKI, the Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro X may just be my favourite-looking headphones ever. Beyer kills it with the unapologetic industrial aesthetic.
So, Battlefield 6 MP is pretty good and running unlocked on Pro with VRR for up to 120fps works extremely well. Enjoy some premium noob gameplay
The Dualsense Edge is not a good value proposition for most people, but it does have some essential tricks up its sleeves for audio and racing entusiasts.
The two unsuspecting reasons the Dualsense Edge changed the game for me
The Dualsense Edge isn't cheap, but it does have a couple of tricks up its sleeve making it a potentially worthwhile proposition for some players.

Carrion is an ultraviolent 2D metroidvania where you play an amorphous apex predator stalking your human captors. Is it a full-on bloody good time, or does it end up falling apart before it bites?
Carrion mini-review
Carrion is an ultraviolent pixel art metroidvania where you play as an amorphous apex hunter of Man - but is there real meat in its bones?

The Switch 2 launch has to be the most anti-consumer Nintendo has been for decades.

Neon White is an experience unlike most others. Its fast-paced gameplay, anime-inspired art style and bopping soundtrack are let down immensely by cringeworthy dialogue and uninteresting characters.
Neon White review (PS5 Pro)
Neon White is an out-of-the-box game with fast, "speedrunning FPS" gameplay and an absolutely awful script.

Finally started Neon White this weekend and it sure is something. The level of gameplay smoothness is matched only by the amount of C R I N G E in the dialogue and VA.

@duskdev.bsky.social's Dusk is a fantastic boomer shooter with tight gameplay, bloody, oppressive visuals and rock-solid performance on the original Nintendo Switch.
Dusk just became my personal GOTY for 2025 | Nintendo Switch review
Dusk is yet another example of a brilliant little game made by a small team which shames most current AAA productions.

Techland is a studio on another level. Still putting out fundamental updates for the original Dying Light 10 years onward, with crystal clear communication to boot. I'll be sure to support their content as long as they show this level of commitment to their players.

Man, seriously, indie games will save us all. I was recently burned out and just uninspired after a few dozen hours in Star Wars Outlaws when I decided to pick up Dusk and My Friend Pedro on a whim. Both reminded me of just how fun and creative video games can be when there is passion involved.
Fanboys on any side only harm technological progress in this industry. The Switch 2's screen is truly shameful - much worse than the already poor LCD on the original Switch - and yet millions of people will fight tooth and nail to defend Nintendo's many poor choices with this launch. Long live OLED.

So then I woke up and Dusk @duskdev.bsky.social became the best shooter I've played on Switch
There sure is some fun street photography to be done in Star Wars Outlaws.
