I still think it should have been packed in, but Welcome Tour is charming as hell.

Labyrinth of the Demon King from @tophatstudios.bsky.social and solo dev @jrhudepohl.bsky.social is simply incredible. I loved every second of this game. More, please! #indiegames #horror #PS5 #Xbox #Steam #NintendoSwitch 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social --

One more thing before bed: Tuesday we published our latest episode of GG, Everybody, featuring Sam, The Geeky Citizen! Tune in as we chat about the Switch 2 launch (48 hours before it arrived), Marvel skipping Hall H and more! www.podbean.com/ep/pb-8j8q9-... @geekycitizen.bsky.social

Also - my friends are pretty awesome and hooked me up with this killer set of the latest D&D sourcebooks! Was a fine 40th birthday indeed! #dnd

Mario Kart World loaded and on the big screen~! Going to save diving into it for tomorrow though - happy Switch 2 day for all who have a chance to celebrate!

Mario Kart World download has begun!

System transfer is pretty painless. A little annoying the SD card I’ve been using on my old switch isn’t compatible, but it’s not like Express SD cards are super expensive these days. Will pick one up soon for the extra storage…

Switch OLED side by side with Switch 2

Cracking it open - love this larger screen!

Mission accomplished! Time to get this puppy set up!

Y’all - @themikeschwartz.bsky.social is one of the coolest dudes in the biz, and Armored is a delight. Great for readers young and old! Back this awesome Hardcover treatment, you won’t regret it! Get started early on Holiday shopping for that young comic lover in your life! #comics

There's a killer new trailer for The Drifter from @barney.powerhoof.com and @dave.powerhoof.com. The demo is available now on Steam! They list King, Crichton, Carpenter, and 70s Aussie grindhouse as influences. Can't wait for this game! #indiegames #pcgaming #steam

Two articles out today! www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/kej...

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo from @pockettrap.bsky.social and @pmstudios.bsky.social feels like a lost GBA game. I was delighted and infuriated at the same time by its challenging puzzles and exceptional game design. 10/10 #indiegames #PS5 #Switch 🎮 Read my review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social

Have some PAX East coverage about Fresh Tracks, a musical lite roguelike that I enjoyed checking out! www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/fresh-tracks-enchants-and-delights-pax-east-coverage

Oh! My latest GamesRadar+ feature is here! It's a look back at the impact of Link's Awakening, schoolyard play sessions, wedding gifts, and the remake's role in revitalizing 2D Zelda. Many thanks to @andybrown202.bsky.social for the opportunity. This is a real personal one, folks.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but: if you get your Switch 2 early: DO NOT GO ONLINE. Highly likely Nintendo will nuke/brick it. Just sit on it until 6/5. 🫵✋

Thoughts and prayers for the undisclosed retailer once Nintendo finds out 🙏😮‍💨

“With stunning art, inventive mechanics, and deeply integrated flavor, the set is poised to be one of Magic’s most successful crossovers yet.” Have I ordered the limit break precon, a special themed deck box and got tickets to MagicCon? Maaayyybbeeee… @mtgarena.com @mtgfestivals.com

I never thought I’d come out of a McQuarrie Mission: Impossible film with a middling impression of it, yet here we are. #filmsky #film #movies 🎥 📽️ Read my review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -- www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/mis...

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel that blows the first game put of the water. An incredible game from @bangbangclick.bsky.social and his team at Raccoon Logic! Thank you @rebeccanicol.bsky.social! #indiegames #ps5 🎮 My review in @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social —
