I haven’t been on the train in years, but I do enjoy it from a distance like when friends play it.

Phoenix Wright: Attorneys General

It works and sounds great. There are better sounding options out there, but the service is easy to use. You can upload your own music from a computer if that’s something you need. It’s not doing bullshit like adding podcasts (those remain in the separate app) or AI “artists” (as far as I know).

Highguard has been fun from the 10 or so matches I've played. There've been some tense matches, some great comebacks, and I get how the match flow works. I would hate for the game to not succeed because of the weird attention that it's gotten.

Visual designs of the characters are not great though.

These threads really don’t offer any good discussion and only serve to let people point back to it and say “I called it!”

Congrats, you guessed!

Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

Unlink your personal Microsoft accounts from your Windows PCs. You cannot trust Microsoft with your PC encryption keys. I would remove passwords and other data from Edge too. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

I did get the 1.0.2 patch, but still ran into those issues. I really appreciate you reaching out either way. If you need more info on what I’m running into, let me know how I can send that over!

I really wanted to like Big Hops, but, at least the Switch version, has a lot of bugs that has ended up causing me to restart the game, by choice or otherwise. It’s plenty of fun, but I just lost a whole level’s worth of progress due to a game crash nearish to the end. I’ll wait for more updates.

Nintendo Year in Review 2025 Souzetsu 41 total games 398 total hours Favorite game: 1000xRESIST 16 hours Play style: Action Adventure

I played a lot of hours this year but I still think about 1000xRESIST. Helluva game.

The MCON mobile controller opened without a phone attached.

An MCON mobile controller separated between the handheld and the iPhone on the stand.

Oh Snap! It’s an MCON!

Also I somehow bugged the map where it puts the player icon off to the side, making it difficult to keep track of where I am and where the secret areas are. Hopefully a reboot of the game fixes that.

Despite all that, good game so far.

Speaking of, it’s pretty annoying for me that Shinobi: Art of Vengeance has certain abilities kept in later stages, keeping some extra parts of stages locked away, making you have to replay them to get closer to 100%. I hate it.

I’m going to continue making an effort to play more games this year. I’ve played some great games pretty recently and have plenty more to catch up on.

Happy New Year! 🎊🎆🎉

All I see is 10-year car loans and 50-year mortgages

I already got taken out of the new episode of Fallout.

Who the hell wants to go to Bakersfield?

I played this lights out, volume up, and there were times I had to stop because I was, I guess, overstimulated? Worth it.

And the Switch 2 version in performance mode worked great. Some frame drop, but not a deal-breaker.

SKATE STORY by Sam Eng

Skate Story is just so cool. The visuals, the music, the poetry, barreling down hallways and breaking into little glassy bits, it exudes cool. I already beat it but I want to experience it again!

*SPOILERS PLEASE LOOK AWAY*

Also that ending, what the hell, haha! Why did they end it like that! I had to restart a part of the last fight because I couldn’t go through with something the game required you to do!

Like I want to see what Retro Studios can with a Switch 2 Metroid and a not-rocky development, because I can see some of the things they were aiming for.

Speaking of aiming, I got used to the mouse control with the help of a 3D printed Joy-Con mouse grip. That goes a long way to making it comfy.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond MISSION COMPLETE Scans Collected 96% Items Discovered 100% Time Played 15:55 HARD MODE unlocked! Press A to Continue

I enjoyed Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, though felt that there could’ve been more to it. It felt like playing Prime Remastered with better graphics, controls and a large bike area, which is great, but then also wanting to see more beyond (heh) just that.

Metroid Prime Remastered Game Completion Screen Mission Final Percentage Complete 79% Total Time 12:33 New Extras unlocked in the Main Menu! Hard Difficulty Unlocked Press A to continue.

I wanted to get through Metroid Prime Remastered before Prime 4 comes out. Man that brought back some memories from….23 YEARS AGO!?

It’s funny that I didn’t get too far with either Hades 1 or Hollow Knight and its DLC, but I went all in with Silksong and Hades 2. I’m assuming it’s a difference in situation and headspace. Or having a big OLED TV and soundbar in my room to make it a bigger experience. Who’s to say?

Hades 2 Post Credits TASK COMPLETE Melinoë: “...I said we're not finished!”

Well I say I’m finished with Hades 2. There’s some stuff that I can do to get the final ending, but I’m happy to stop here. Great game.

Star-Crossed World THANK YOU FOR PLAYING

I forgot to finish Kirby and the Forgotten Land, but the Switch 2 Edition made it a much better experience. Good game.

Happy Birthday! 🎁🎊🎈🎂🎉

And suddenly, there were no more isekais.

It truly felt like

I was in a different world.

Amazon listing of a no-name electric shaver with 7 oscillating blades.

Picture of a Gillette disposable razor photoshopped to have 12 blades with the title “Gillette 9000.”

This electric shaver looks fake. It reminds me of those Gillette 10+ blade jokes from years ago.
