Really early on, but Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a game that's making me very happy right now.

Safe to say that has been dormant in my sub-conscious since I saw Fantastic Four.

Had a genuinely terrifying nightmare last night that Galactus was after me and any attempt at escape was basically futile and delaying the inevitable.

I woke up just as I was cowering behind a bed in a tall building in my dream.

Imagine how many people see this, believe it and feel validated because it's always showing up. Plenty of likes and comments. You're then in the algorithm deeper because of it.

This is the kind of thing the government need to take action on asap.

Despite having absolutely no interest in the content whatsoever, Facebook constantly shoves incel memes on my feed.

It's always the same - no one cares about men, women only want money etc.

It's no wonder how young men get radicalised when I see all this and I'm not even engaging with the content.

Imagine the likes of Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War on the Switch 2.

It's no doubt more work than porting to the Xbox, but I think it can be done for the most part. At the very least, the earlier entries of the above series.

New anime & a new (and very good looking) jrpg on the way.

Good time to be a Digimon fan

The Pokémon Company asks fans to stop harassing TCG Pocket ‘plagiarism’ illustrator, stresses it’s to blame | VGC The company has asked fans to stop harassing the illustrator after it removed two of their designs…

The Pokémon Company has asked fans to stop harassing the illustrator who created two card designs which have now been removed following allegations of plagiarism.

The company has again stressed that its own production team was to blame, not the artist.

Completed the main part of Donkey Kong Bananza last night. What a game. Excited to do the post game and track back for all the bananas and fossils I skipped by.

It ain't over for a while for me!

yeah i remember people being furious about it

Sorry just realised you were looking at the premium edition - That was basically the same on Steam. Premium edition was around that price and also didn't include the DLC.

Weird, it's only £54.99 in the UK eShop, which is surprisingly cheaper than the base Steam version

This must hurt the PC sales

My substitute is Persona 3 Reload if Metaphor doesn't come up.

I want to say Metaphor Refantazio on Switch 2.

Man who wants people to buy his product says people without his product will be at a disadvantage.

Imagine my surprise.

My wish for Pokémon's gen 10 starters is they stop giving them "Jobs". When they had a more natural feeling evolution path I think the final starter evos were much better.

I know this has basically been a thing for the majority of Pokémon's history now, but a man can dream.

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

A good portion of the population would benefit from a year 9 history class where you have to scrutinise sources and consider how reliable they are.

Of course there are idiots spreading conspiracies that the earthquake in Russia was a nuke test.

Covid did an absolute number on some people's brains.

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

It may well still happen but it feels like the horse has already bolted at this point. Imo it would've made sense on the build up to DK to add to the hype with some MK World content.

So we get a DK event in Tetris 99 but nothing on Mario Kart World with new costumes or anything?

This was Nintendo's perfect opportunity to show what MK World can do with brand synergy when it comes to new releases.

I am tempted but I'm thinking maybe something more story driven. But I don't know, when I go to play I may well just pick that haha

Given myself a much needed break from long RPGs recently but now I'm ready to give right in (once I finish Bananza)

But I'm having some choice paralysis between:

- SMTV Vengeance
- Yakuza: LaD
- Skyrim
- Tales of Symphonia

It almost feels inevitable at this point that Farage will be our next PM due to the sheer lack of understanding of the public Labour have.

I'd love to see Matt Shakman direct the MCU's X-men film.

Spoiler free and simple review of Fantastic 4: The First Steps:

One of my all-time favourite Marvel movies. Up there with the Avengers movies. Being set in a different universe really gave them a lot of freedom to tell the best F4 story on the big screen.

Donkey Kong Bananza is definitely in GoTY territory for me.

I hope I can get the chance to play Expedition 33 before the end of the year so I can consider that too.

But yeah DK Bananza is just so much fun. Instant Nintendo classic for me.
