The Mermaid Mask? heck yeah I'm gonna take my cash and go live in a submarine with a bunch of loveable weirdos where Nothing Weird Or Quietly Tragic Ever Happens I Promise
Nina Marotta ☢️💙@mrschief7.bsky.social · 4w agoYou're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?
I cannot big walk any further because my big walk pals are away. I long for them to return so I can continue big walking.
there's a discounted bundle with Tangle Tower on Steam and if you've not played that, 100% get both. loved TT and very excited to give Mermaid Mask a go.
Game Informer@gameinformer.com · 2mo agoWith memorable puzzles, eye-catching animations, and a spirited voice cast, I admire the way the story was told just as much as the story itself in The Mermaid Mask. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/the-m...
60 hours later that's a 100% wrap on Silksong and I adored every single malicious, balletic, gorgeous second of it. beyond excited for the expansion(s?)
this is the list equivalent of those "I'm a gamer not because I don't have a life but because I choose to have many" t-shirts

not the biggest Automata fan but can admit that the idea of Taro writing an Eva series is *too* perfect. very intrigued.

Patrick was special. He was nicer than just about anyone in the industry, funnier, and probably more talented. As a boss, he was always patient and kind, but he also loved to share wisdom and lift others up. Pat, I'll treasure the time you gave us ❤️ www.dexerto.com/gaming/patri...

Words can't even begin to describe this loss. Pat was a staple in my day to day. The constant Discord messages, him sending me whatever internet trend he was obsessed with at the moment, constantly trying to plan our next Destiny dungeon run, the list goes on...

I couldn’t have asked for a better friend. The hole Pat leaves is immeasurable but I am so very thankful for the time we got to spend together. The warmth, positivity, and humour that he brought every day was nothing short of spectacular. I don’t have the words to describe how much I’ll miss him.

enjoyed a few things in 2025 (Blue Prince and Clipse's second LP in particular) but the real standout this year was, no question, falling in deep into DnD. some moments I'll never forget (some hilarious, some legitimately moving), and a group of immediate friends I've loved doing stupid voices with.
