Will Forza Horizon 6 be the best open-world racer ever?
Xbox has finally unveiled FH6, and @boddyzachary.bsky.social already has a lot of thoughts on this upcoming entry as it moves its setting to Japan.
DLC #20 | The Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice Edition — Murder on Eridanos | 2025-09-15
This DLC felt a little more modest in scope, but I adored the "inspector" theme. I immensely enjoyed tracking down clues and questioning suspects, and the twist is goofy and fun. Great stuff.
Rating: 9/10
DLC #19 | The Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice Edition — Peril on Gorgon | 2025-09-14
I honestly didn't expect this DLC to be so beefy. There's a lot to explore here, and it's more-or-less exactly as good as the main game. That means the same weaknesses, too, but it's plenty of fun.

Game #17 | The Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice Edition | 2025-09-11
I played The Outer Worlds when it came out and loved it, and the remastered "definitive" edition was the same. This game is still a ton of fun, even if the last act falls off for me. I can't wait for the sequel.

DLC #18 | Indiana Jones and the Great Circle — The Order of Giants | 2025-09-06
This DLC is just more of everything that makes the base game amazing. More puzzles, more beating fascists over the head with random items, more collecting. It's shorter than I expected, but I had a blast.
Rating: 9/10
Game #16 | Ruffy and the Riverside | 2025-09-03
It's colorful and creative, with relaxing, engaging, and weirdly nostalgic gameplay. Ruffy and the Riverside isn't a masterpiece by any means, but I loved it.

Happy Hollow Knight: Silksong day to all who celebrate. I will be playing Indiana Jones instead.

This was my first introduction to the Warhammer 40K universe and it was... Fine. I had fun, but I personally enjoyed the first Gears of War a lot more.

This was a good expansion with a solid amount of added content, but it felt shockingly normal for the domain of the "Madgod." I was hoping for more insanity, not just quirkiness.

Game #14 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered | 2025-07-29
In a lot of ways, I genuinely loved this more than Skyrim. Constant crashes and progression-halting bugs soured the experience, though... Didn't stop me from 100% completing the achievements.

DLC #16 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — Mehrune's Razor | 2025-07-27
I really enjoyed this quest, but my disappointment was palpable when I found out Mehrune's Razor, an artifact of a Daedric Prince, was weaker than the dagger I already had. Boo.
Rating: 8/10
DLC #15 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — The Orrery | 2025-07-25
This one was meh. It was a fine quest, but I couldn't really bring myself to care about the Orrery, so it just felt like crossing something off the checklist for me.
Rating: 7/10
DLC #14 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — Knights of the Nine | 2025-07-23
This is easily my favorite of the DLC. It's a decent length, with an interesting storyline, unique use of game mechanics, and some cool rewards. Too bad I'm not "worthy" anymore.
Rating: 9/10
DLC #13 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — Vile Lair | 2025-07-22
The last of the four DLC homes, and the least interesting for me personally. I found it really late and I wasn't playing as an evil character, so it didn't do much for me.
Rating: 7/10
DLC #12 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — Deluxe Edition | 2025-07-21
It was cool to explore two brand-new quests, and each one was interesting in its own right. I wish the exclusive gear you got at the end also had unique enchantments, though.
Rating: 8/10
DLC #11 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — Fighter's Stronghold | 2025-07-19
This was my go-to home for most of my time playing this game, even if it wasn't as exciting as the Wizard's Tower. The Armourer buff came in handy, though.
Rating: 8/10
DLC #10 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — Wizard's Tower | 2025-07-19
Easily the coolest of the four DLC homes, with some genuinely useful additions. Went back and forth between this and the Fighter's Stronghold.
Rating: 8/10
DLC #9 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — The Thieves Den | 2025-07-15
First DLC down on my TES4 journey, and this is a cool little house. Grateful for the useful spells and abundance of lockpicks, at least.

The new Razer BlackShark V3 Pro headset shows that we can get some incredible gear when companies actually listen to us.
01.08.2025 13:05 — 👍 4 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0The ASUS ROG Azoth X is a premium, wireless 75% gaming keyboard that's significantly better than I honestly expected, even if it's far from perfect in some ways.
02.08.2025 13:03 — 👍 6 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0I hope the Battlefield 6 open beta is good because I would love for a game to properly take the fight to Call of Duty.
04.08.2025 22:33 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Razer's new DeathAdder V4 Pro wireless gaming mouse is an astounding feat of engineering, and I can appreciate that even if I won't be keeping it around.
It's still one of the absolute best you can buy.
I grew up with Skyrim, but I finally get what people have been saying. Oblivion (Remastered, at least) is better.
