Played my first game of Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles today. It's a roguelite deckbuilder but the deck is made of dice, and you manipulate the sides of the dice as you work on your build. Even from one game I can tell this is really good. Reminds me of Slay the Spire & Monster Train!

I made the mistake of going from a marathon 120 hour playthrough of Kingdom Come Deliverance (AMAZING, PLAY IT) to Avowed, and Avowed just missed the mark for me. I got 17 hours in, and was well into the second region when I decided to drop it. Glad I played it via Game Pass rather than sinking $70!

Had a blast with Nightreign! Even managed a successful run. Can't wait for the full game so that I can see how the progression systems work!

So it's been an interesting week. I'm now hopelessly addicted.

I only played 3 hours of Kingdom Come Deliverance before I hopped down a ladder, broke my leg and somehow the game was uninstalled before I could do anything! ...thinking about trying it again though.

Crack crack crack the egg into the bowl

Finished Stellar Blade today! Enjoyed it quite a lot. Good boss fights and decently fun exploration. Took a while to click, but once it did, combat became great fun. Glad I gave it a chance. Looking forward to more from this studio!

I keep seeing the word "underwhelmed" regarding the reveal of the Switch 2. The hype train barely pulled out of the station. On the other hand, Nintendo's 1st party exclusives are all they need to keep me buying their hardware, so I suppose it doesn't really matter that much. Animal Crossing please!

Please understand this. You can sound confident and have anxiety. You can look healthy but feel like shit. You can look happy and be miserable inside. You can be good looking and still feel ugly. So please be kind, because every person is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

How do you all get so good at yapping? I feel awkward almost every time I say anything.

No smooch. Happy New Year!

Enjoying my vacation a lot, but also looking forward to getting home, hugging my cats, and digging into Dragon Quest III HD2D remake! A little less excited about a NYE with no one to smooch, but smooching and grinding random encounters for level-ups are pretty much the same thing, right?

Secret Santa gave me more questions than answers this year.. 🤔

Totally spoiled this year. Literally the entirety of cosmere!

I got a conker plushie that talks 😅

Is this how it feels for some of us now!?!? 🤣🤣

The vista of the Tree of Mana in Visions of Mana is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen in any video game. It's rare that a game gets me to stop and stare. Just stunning. I'd share a screen but... maybe you should just play the game! Also, if you're not sold on HDR yet, this game will sell you.

nice

Seems I heavily favored PC gaming in 2024

Two nameless kings showed up tonight

Before The Game Awards I wished for one thing: an announcement of whatever Fromsoft's next project was. I got my wish! Though it definitely wasn't quite what I was expecting. Really curious to learn more about Nightreign in the coming months.

I wonder about Shadow of the Erdtree in all this. Wukong winning player's choice definitely indicates the majority player opinion on DLC in awards shows (definitive dissent which leaves me in the minority), but after all that, Erdtree didn't win anything at all! Did they back down bc of backlash?

@jasonschreier.bsky.social So, which two announcements were the mind blowing ones? There were so many I couldn't tell!

Astro Bot encapsulates the joy of gaming like nothing else. It's a celebration of the entire industry. Very happy for Team Asobi on this GotY win! (Also congratulations to Sony for finally having a definitive mascot for PlayStation.)

OMFG OKAMI IS BACK

That Elden Ring reveal has me curious how the community is going to react when people discover that it's 3-player roguelite with ~45-minute game sessions. I get the feeling it's going to be pretty divisive. IGN has a hands-on preview and I'm not sure what to make of it. Looking forward to it though!

I need to go to bed but there’s still time….

"I love everybody! 👏 GOODBYE!" what a way to bow off stage. So wholesome!

Wait… The Outer Worlds comes out in 2025????? Obsidian dropping both Avowed AND The Outer Worlds 2 in the same year is C R A Z Y

UEDA game for 2037 just announced

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
