I made the mistake of trying out Brotato after my first session of Expedition 33. I've played it for 16.5 hours in less than 24 hours, I feel crusty and my eyes hurt. Shoot that intense player progression in my vein for another 20 minutes, please.

I've spent 2 minutes in #Expedition33's main menu and the music hits that NieR vibe, I'm already on board.

I haven't seen the complete IGN top 25 JRPG but all I know is that FFX is number 3 so that tells me its a competent list

Finally got around to framing and mounting the signed poster of Strands in my office.

We're on Kotaku's list of BEST games of 2025 so far?!? 🥺💛 Thanks for the shout-out and the love - we're honored to be among so many incredible games from so many incredible studios! 💛 kotaku.com/2025-best-ga...

Oblivion Remastered makes me so happy

Perfect remaster

I'll be busy with the fantastic Oblivion remaster for a while, but I just bought Expedition 33. I was already pretty much sold on it, and just hearing the positive buzz I don't need to know anything else. Real excited to get to it!

Tomorrow, 11:00 am EST. twitch.tv/bethesda and youtube.com/live/Ed_E2cr...

I remember playing Final Fantasy X when I was 12, knowing I had just experienced something truly incredible and unique. I became a fan of Square Enix then, and all these decades later, I can say I've collaborated with them on content for an IP I helped create. Truly a highlight of my career! 😁

I wish I wasn't aware of all the rumors of an Oblivion Remake dropping "any day now" because its preventing me from seriously starting any game.

Wanted to play the Dragon Quest III remaster in Japanese, but I'm simply just not there yet. French being my first language, it completely blows my mind how I was able to "seemingly" just pick up a second language with gaming in my pre-teen years. Determination? Lots of free time? Probably both.

finally some real fucking competition on this platform: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbTL...

Google Photos app keeps sending me this "memory" from time to time and it makes me laugh everytime

Last night I finished reading Piranesi, a fantastic book highly recommended by my girlfriend. First book I've finished in over a decade. Nice to get back to it.

Let's banish the word "recession" in favor of the more modern and accurate "clearance sale for the oligarchs".

For the GOG fans out there, Brynn and Eternal Strands are on the way: www.gog.com/news/coming_...

"You gonna feed me or what"

Hell yeah baby

Restart spoke with Yellow Brick Games' @mikelaidlaw.bsky.social and Fred St-Laurent about the inspirations behind the magic system in Eternal Strands.

Gaming's still getting plenty of releases, but the effects of the industry's 2023-2025 crisis will only be truly felt by gamers in 2026 and beyond. Years of job losses and studio closures mean a lot of projects that should be underway or started now or will never see the light of day.

They should invent a games industry that doesn't make everyone go through the entire range of human emotions once a week lol

How the fuck is universal health care, homes for the homeless and food for the poor considered part of a extreme political agenda. NOT providing these things feel incredibly more extreme to me.

Winter boi

An hour in, I can tell I'll be extremely into #Avowed. Love what I'm seeing so far.

Thanks for being such a loyal friend while I'm working

I discovered Spiritbox. Today is a good day.

Happy Valentines :)

Do you understand how badly you have to fuck up to make Quebec sing the anthem with this much pride
