Pokopia is the best Pokémon spin-off ever, I legitimately can't put it down... I'm not even "good" at it, all my builds look like ass, but I still go to bed thinking about what I want to make next and stuff like that every night...
Peakopia
6. Ghost of Yōtei
#DuskyGlowMT2026
Petting Foxes Simulator 2: Also Petting Wolves
5. Mario Kart World
#DuskyGlowMT2026
Should have been called Mario Kart Empty World
4. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
#DuskyGlowMT2026
I think Toothless is cute and I bought a fluffy blanket themed after him (unrelated)
I can see why it’s controversial, but I enjoyed it. Not enough of a HTTYD fan to go super in depth, but I enjoy the movies and I like the funny dragons.
3. Zootopia 2
#DuskyGlowMT2026
It was good but it felt really overhyped tbh. Bold of them to introduce Tow Mater from Cars into the franchise though.
2. Tomb Raider: The Legends of Lara Croft (S1 rewatch, S2 first watch)
#DuskyGlowMT2026
Yeah I played the games so I had to watch the Netflix show, duh
1. Shadow of the Tomb Raider
#DuskyGlowMT2026
I had higher hopes for this one, ended up being a rather boring and repetitive slog rather than the last hurrah I had hoped for in the trilogy.
I liked doing a media thread last year so I'll do it again, sorry for the spam :)
#DuskyGlowMT2026
WAIT HOLD ON...
I was worried Pokémon coming out this year would coincide with my big final assignments in college but now that it's not coming out until I'm already graduated it means I won't be spoiled!!!
2027!?!? NUTS, THEY'RE ACTUALLY TAKING THE TIME TO POLISH THIS GAME OMG
Tomorrow morning when the Ken Sugimori watercolor artstyle trailer plays in the Pokémon Presents for the new Masters EX unir I'm going to laugh at a LOT of innocent Pokémon fans and then grifters will be insufferable for the rest of the day.
I played the new Mario Kart and I don't think the hate is actually that exaggerated, the game is offensively mediocre for the asking price, so I think harsh criticism is more than justified
After absolutely loving Symphony of the Night I had been wanting more Castlevania content but all the older games look way too hard for me so I hope this one is awesome
Someone at a mall also tried to sell me the Umbreon & Espeon Prismatic Evolution box that I really wanted (because of the figurine) at $300 and I'm sorry but even I, the biggest fan of Umbreon X Espeon content, could NOT fall far such an absurd scam. I hate scalpers.
I was traveling abroad and casually was at Target right on the day a new Pokémon TCG expansion launched a few days ago but it was roughly 11:30 in the morning and the whole shelf where Pokémon cards would be was comically empty - seeing it irl instead of on social media was wild.
Idk why all my socials keep trying to push Xenoblade posts down my throat when the only game I like is XCX and that's apparently the one the whole community hates and thinks you're an idiot for liking more than mainline, but I really don't vibe with mainline XC at all
Also shows how playtime means absolutely nothing because Legends Arceus (my favorite Pokémon game on Switch) wasn't even in my top 10 most played... Metroid Dread and Kirby and the Forgotten Land didn't even make the top 20 and those are easily my favorite Switch games lol
The Nintendo Year Review thing is funny, it really exposes that I'm not a Nintendo fan, I just like Pokémon
One good thing came out of this garbage DLC
What's funny to me is that Avengers Endgame was just as bad, plothole heavy and contradictory to its own universe as the Strangers Things finale but almost nobody has had the guts to say it for 6+ years because it had hype moments and aura
35. Stranger Things - Season 5
#DuskyGlowMT2025
9 years removed from a stellar first season, as the show completely abandoned its own name by falling into predictability and generic dialogue, I can only say: I've certainly seen stranger things than this.
34. Rise of the Tomb Raider
#DuskyGlowMT2025
The title is a very subtle nod to all the climbing you have to do
33. Pokémon Legends Z-A: Mega Dimension (DLC)
#DuskyGlowMT2025
I did not think Pokémon of all things could make me hate donuts.
32. Tomb Raider (2013)
#DuskyGlowMT2025
Tomb Raider but Uncharted
Well I guess I did play plenty... I just didn't play many games lol!
Didn't use the PS5 much due to time limitations (kinda wish I had time to pkay Ghost of Yotei) but I spent most of my playtime on it playing the best game of 2025 so that's cool
Take away all of Porygon2's awards
Holy shit the special scan feature in Z-A is horrible, why did they make this DLC so awful and grindy?
Credits rolled on Mega Dimensions DLC. It wasn't as horrible as I expected, don't look forward to the post-game grind...
Also WOW they really hate Kalos so much that they had to make all gen 6 legendaries supremely unimportant while other gens took the main story spotlight, huh?
