It's mid-February already and I feel like I've finished no games.

In light of recent events and passings, some good music to bring any possible relief: youtu.be/4l_gUwdPrNY?...

Just played through Alan Wake for the first time and learning the lore behind the Old Gods of Asgard was incredible. I sat through each song at the end of chapters.

Finally got to use Rary's Telepathic Bond in DnD and it was pretty rad. Been sitting on that one for a while.

Finished Chapter 3 of Alan Wake. The gameplay is simultaneously great and frustrating, but damn this story be cooking.

But it could also just be neverending hungry cat syndrome.

Not aure it'll help, but we found doing a healthy dose of 15-20 minutes of play before bed made our cat less active in the early morning.

I think we were feeding at night, but then not using up any of the newfound energy. So he was just crying and knocking stuff over in the early morning.

We'll be live reacting to The Game Awards at 6:30 CT while raising money to directly support The Somali Museum in Minneapolis, because their culture is worth celebrating, especially in the face of bigotry.

Companies paying for the privilege of providing content for someone else's platform, all while losing creative control of one's own IP, was not on my 2025 bingo card but here we are.

Battlefield 6 really does have that sauce.

Imagine texting a beautiful woman with this.

After 20 runs of Blue Prince magic, the game is now starting to RNG me, which is not great when I want to finish it.

One of the things that has me curious given the rush to cancel Game Pass is about how significant the attrition rate was expected internally at MS.

Any time you change a service offering or increase pricing, there is an expectation you'll price out some of your customers.

My inner coffee snob was humbled a bit when the realization came of not knowing if you brew iced coffee onto ice or pour it in afterwards.

Blue Prince really has the sauce.

Silksong be out and hype, but I'm stuck in 2006 Oblivion land. No one else seems to care about the Necromancy problem in Cyrodiil.

We're in the backrooms.

Was not expecting a Gameboy-style birding RPG on Playdate to be one of my favorite games played this year. Sometimes it's just the little charming things that are the most impactful.

My Playdate came in the mail and this thing is so charming. Shout out to @panic.com for making this thing. Casual Birder already has its hooks in me.

RIP Ozzy. Black Sabbath rules, but his solo work was always my favorite. Bark at the Moon is a classic jam.

It Follows is decently well known, but just the core concept is really terrifying. has you checking over the shoulder for a bit after viewing.

Do I want to go see CGI dinosaur fest 18? Sure. Am I pretty sure it's gonna be hot trash? Probably.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

No matter how bad you’ve fucked up at your job, you’ve never traded Luka Doncic. Always remember that.

Seeing a game that has cool disabled representation as a launch title for a new console makes my heart smile!!!
