Game #6 of 2026 completed: Resident Evil Requiem.

Another very solid RE game. Grace is an excellent character, and I enjoyed getting both action and horror segments. The first half of the game is phenomenal. Pacing suffers a fair bit in the middle, but still a great experience.

Very curious for your thoughts on this one! I was interested but didn't trust it enough to pull the trigger

There's a lot of elements of playing the Steam Deck that I prefer compared to the Switch 2.

But I've come around to much preferring the size of the Switch 2.

The SD takes up so much space if you want to put it on a smaller table. It's brutal on my night stand if I play in bed. S2 is nicer there.

I thought of you, but only 1 blog post so far. Need more from you big dawg. Keep writing.

I did. But to me, journalism involves actually reporting. Working sources or doing interviews the way you do. With what I do, it's hard to feel like Im actual press.

Myself and @hananomaude.bsky.social might genuinely be the only people in gaming content creation bringing Oscars level of energy to The Game Awards.

Geoff owes us so much.

Definitely a few highs, but overall very mid imo. Killed a lot of the momentum the game had at that point for me. It doesn't fit the essence of his other segments, and its frequently annoying in its own right. A few fun spots but a huge disappointment

Last bump. Appreciate the support as always!

Coming next week, I will likely have my Requiem review. And then something else.

AndresPlays’ First Steam Next Fest - Pixelbytegaming Steam Next Fest is a busy time when many developers hope to find their audience. As a first-time player, it was both hectic and enriching.

Here is my experience trying my first Steam Next Fest! It was an exciting time, and I wrote about some of the demos I loved.

True. @andresplays.bsky.social, @dsundy.bsky.social, and @themcmr.bsky.social will agree with this

I definitely feel this whenever a review inquiry asks if Im press or a content creator.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Sentimental Value (2025) More than anything else, the performances of Renata Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas will stick with me. They truly showcase the special relationship many sisters have, and it's beautiful. Renata i...

Movie #6 of 2026: Sentimental Value.

A really strong film about working through complicated family dynamics. Renata Reinsve delivers my favorite performance I've seen so far this year. But pretty much every performance is awesome. Shout out to Death Stranding 2 actress Elle Fanning

Bumping this up.

By far the most exciting part of this list was figuring put BioShock vs The Last of Us. I had never thought about which I like more.

This is why Im so excited to fo my overall top 25 soon. So many battles to sort out πŸ‘€.

It's time for my next console top 10! Only a few more before I unveil my top 25 games of all time.

While most of my PS3 faves were multiplatform, there are a few genuine all-timers that were exclusive and made this list. You can probably guess one of them.

Play Resident Evil, then you'll gain the courage to face those girl scouts.

I love the dreary landscapes in Pokopia a lot, because it REALLY makes the areas that you water and clean up pop.

Back before steam charts I had to wait for monthly sales figures to drop before figuring out which games to buy. The tough old days.

I dont dress up for Halloween. Im too boring.

My daughter asked me what I wanted to be last Halloween. I told her I was going to be "daddy". Luckily she accepted that 😭

I don't own a Switch 2, but my brother does.

Just like I did with Bananza, I bought him a game so that I could borrow it for a few weeks.

You can all breathe a sigh of relief. #1 Nintendo Fanboy BigNerdGaming WILL be covering Pokemon Pokopia!!!

Fact about me: I met a guy on the internet randomly who lives like 30 minutes from me, has mutual friends, and I had once voted for his twin sister in a congressional race.

I am now voting for his twin sister for secretary of state

Fact about yourself that sounds fake but is true

Me and my bro look almost alike (till he shaved his hair).

I once did a physical/drug test for him and got away with it. However, my vision is awful, so I bombed the vision test without my glasses.

He used whiteout on that part of the report 😭
