I genuinely think Resident Evil Requiem is the best game in the franchise! Capcom spent years trying to balance horror and action. They finally struck gold with Requiem.

The contrast between Grace and Leon is distinct, but the way the game strings its stories together feels like magic.

GAME FREAK! Make the bad guys for Winds and Waves corrupt politicians, and my life is yours! The world deserves the full Southeast Asian experience!

I know the bar is low, but #Pokemon Winds and Waves already looks good! I am also glad that Game Freak is taking its time with this.

Southeast Asia supposedly inspired this region, and I can definitely see it! It feels good to see our part of the world represented this way.

Happy 30th Anniversary to all #Pokemon Trainers, Performers, Rangers, and Masters out there! May Nintendo and Game Freak finally answer our prayers during today's PokΓ©mon Presents!

I’m absolutely loving Trigun Stargaze. It’s a shame more people aren’t talking about it!

Studio Orange definitely made bold changes, but it’s obvious this comes from a place of passion. And honestly, it’s more proof that 3D CGI absolutely has a place in #anime when it’s done right.

In 2016, a weasel screwed up the Large Hadron Collider during a test and shifted us to a timeline where Harambe was shot, and Trump became president.

When Witch Hat Atelier premieres this April, the modern Big 3 of fantasy manga will finally all have #anime adaptations.

Back then, you could wish on a dozen shooting stars and still never see your favorite #manga get animated. Now it’s not if, but when and which studio gets the honor!

How did PlayStation use one of the industry’s best remake/remaster studios? By putting them on a God of War multiplayer project… and then canceling it.

They're yet another casualty in the chase for economic headwinds and endless profit. Game developers deserve better.

The #anime adaptation of 100 Meters by Uoto might be the most thoughtful take on competitive sports since Ping Pong the Animation.

That someone can write intimate, deeply human stories ranging from track-running to 15th century astronomy while at 28 simply amazes me!

I love how My Hero Academia’s final sequence pays homage to the very first OP of the series!

Honestly, I think the final season of the anime handled the ending better than the manga. It’s easy to see why so many people were emotional about the finale.

Last year, an oracle described to Swen Vincke of Larian who would win Game of the Year 2025. Call it fate or coincidence, but Claire Obscur: Expedition 33 fits that description perfectly!

Expedition 33 deserved the win!

With so many great releases this year, UNBEATABLE was my most anticipated game. Now that I’ve played it, it absolutely delivered! Great story and 10/10 arcade mode!

UNBEATABLE is an indie game about that wild, rebellious spark behind all works of art.

God Slayer honestly looks like the Avatar: The Last Airbender game I always wanted! It even nails the distinct movement style of each element.

And the wild part? It’s coming from the same developer that made cozy games like My Time at Portia and Sandrock!

I am always in awe every time I see Threads of Time. You can feel the passion and vision from its talented indie developers with every glimpse we’ve seen of the game so far.

Threads of Time belongs on your Wishlist!

It took 22 episodes, but the great Kinta finally debuts in the #Dandadan anime!

He was super divisive in the Dandadan #manga scene at first, so I can’t wait to see what the #anime fans will eventually think of him!

The 17-26 #manga one-shots was Tatsuki Fujimoto at his most unhinged and experimental. Having them adapted into #anime is an insane, albeit welcome, decision!

Most of the concepts found in these stories will eventually find their way into Fujimoto's work on #ChainsawMan!

Kinta finally made his debut in the #Dandadan and of course Science SARU couldn’t resist slipping in a ridiculously deep-cut #Gundam reference!

He was singing "Char ga Kuru" or "Here Comes Char" from the original Mobile Suit Gundam #anime!

Ubisoft keeps slipping #SplinterCell into everything except an actual Splinter Cell game!

I’d love to see the franchise return, but it’s been so long I doubt younger generations know who Sam Fisher is. At this point, the only way forward is a remake or a soft reboot.

I was in the big city recently and a few people stopped to say they love my content. Honestly, I was shocked! I barely have a thousand followers across all platforms, so I never imagined strangers were actually watching what I make.

If someone as small as me can reach people, I am sure you can too!

It’s been a rough few weeks, but #TinyBookshop has been one of the bright spots that kept me going.

It’s the very definition of a cozy game, even if it’s secretly an addictive management sim about selling books!

This week’s #Dandadan finally adapted one of my most anticipated chapters and it absolutely delivered!

Science SARU didn’t just nail the animation and storyboarding, they went all-in and dedicated an entire #anime episode to it.

That’s how you surpass the source material!

I am liking the art design of Sekiro: No Defeat, but I am still cautiously optimistic. The staff lineup looks solid though.

The studio will be Qzil.la. They’ve leaned heavily on GenAI before, but it's unclear if AI was used in this #anime.

"Truth is... the game was rigged from the start"

The world of New Vegas was an intricate masterpiece, but the Season 2 teaser seems to have captured it with such accuracy and confidence. I can't wait!

Nobody blends nostalgia and fresh ideas quite like Sakurai and Sora Ltd. #KirbyAirRiders looks exactly how I imagined the game would be with modern hardware.

All that’s left is to see if playing the game matches the glow!

It’s been a heavy week for my family. We lost two relatives within days, on top of a family friend who also passed just weeks ago.

I don’t judge anyone for their vices, but I will always encourage moderation. When health problems strike, the pain doesn’t stop with you. It'll affect your loved ones.
