This is Edge of Memories from Nacon and Midgar Studio! It's yet another promising #JRPG inspired #videogame coming from a French studio. I got my eyes on this one!

I was really hoping for #Daredevil: Born Again to be good. Judging by the first 15 minutes of episode 1, this is show is going to be great!

KONAMI announcing a brand new #Suikoden game after so many years only for them to reveal it's a mobile gacha game gave me an intense emotional whiplash! Still, Suikoden: Star Leap does look fantastic and feels genuinely true to the classic #videogames.

This is the new trailer for Lazarus! The next big #anime coming from Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichiro Watanabe and it looks amazing! It looks amazing! I hope this one gets the marketing push and reach it deserves!

Urbain (Urban, City) and Taunie (Town, Townie). I always appreciate all these wordplay on #Pokemon.

Happy #Pokemon Day! Don't forget to watch the "Dragonite and the Postman" #anime short today! It's beautifully animated by CoMix Wave (Your Name, Suzume) with a touching story and a fantastic musical score.

Warner Bros. shutting down Monolith is just cruel and reeks of heartless corporate bullshit. They gave us cult classics like F.E.A.R and blockbusters like Shadow of Mordor. WB even patented their Nemesis System only to shut them down. The one studio who knew how it worked! #videogames #gaming

My boy Denji beating the Shinji Ikari allegations. #ChainsawMan

Keep Driving is an unforgettable game that nobody seems to be talking about it! The game feels like Papers, Please. Though it's less about guarding the border and more about going on a road trip of your dreams. All while listening to an amazing indie mixtape. #Gaming #IndieGames

Our cat just "gifted" me a dead rat. I am not sure if she thinks I should eat more or to remind me that I am a shitty hunter.

At first glance, "A Place Further than the Universe" like your average "cute girls doing cute things" kind of #anime, but in Antarctica. You're not wrong, but that's just the hook. This is the kind of show that changes you. Or at the very least, convinces you to go out there and explore!

Western players and content creators complaining about how "bad" Asian companies schedule their showcases reeks of privilege sometimes. Yes, the upcoming Pokemon Presents is early, but us Asians will have to stay up from 11pm to 1am just to watch it.

The #Wanderstop developer's shift from the narrative insanity that was The Stanley Parable to this vibrant little cozy game is incredible, but it does makes sense since one of its themes is about dealing with burnout. Early previews seems positive and I hope the game ends up being good! #gaming

This is "Dragonite and the Postman." A brand new #anime short from the team who brought us Your Name! It's animated by CoMix Wave Films with music from Japanese rock duo Yorushika and Evan Call (Violet Evergarden, Frieren). It drops on #Pokemon Day!

"Hapunan" is a small indie horror #videogame from the Philippines. It's a short, but genuinely compelling horror title about a street vendor getting caught up in a deadly conspiracy. Ironically, I discovered it through non-Filipino streamers and was surprised at how much they were enjoying it!

VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon: "We failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform #Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything". Real talk? I didn't even know they were trying to compete. lmao www.linkedin.com/posts/ethane...

Bartender: Glass of God is an #anime about human stories told over delicious cocktails. It's an underrated remake of an underappreciated classic. If you're looking for a show that feels like a cozy bar, tastes like your favorite, and hits hard like alcohol, Bartender is a must watch.

For a moment there I thought Tatsuki Fujimoto gave an #anime award to himself. To be fair, that's still within the realm of possibility. www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-02...

When Persona 3 Reload was released a year ago and I still think about it often. The original P3 saved my life, but I had nobody to talk to about it back in the day. Now, there are communities that still talk about it! I believe Reload is a fantastic example of how to remake a #videogame.

Over a dozen hours in and I am feeling a little conflicted with #Avowed. The narrative feels like it wasn't the priority. Which is strange since I was expecting it to hook me with the story. I ended up loving the gameplay instead! Still, I think it's worth trying if you have #Xbox Game Pass!

Happy Valentine's Day! I leave you with one of my favorite love stories in gaming: Garnet and Zidane from Final Fantasy IX. May you bask in the warmth of love today and forevermore! 💘

Thanks for all of the kind words about MinnMax's revealing interview with Ready at Dawn's co-founder. youtu.be/g7t6Wo2IcU8 This is what the backend looks like for an interview that spawned news stories on every major gaming site. Independent games media only exists by support on Patreon.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger has been in development hell for the past 7 years! It was also feared to have been one of the games Bandai Namco silently cancelled last year. It's a genuinely good and underappreciated #Digimon franchise. I am glad a new one is coming soon! #StateOfPlay #PlayStation

PRESENTATION Hi People of Bluesky, I'm Ezereal and recently started to use this place! I'm known elsewhere as a longtime Nintendo fan who likes multiple genres (particularly JRPGs). Also liking anime & Disney stuff I hope we'll have fun times together on this platform 🥳 #Nintendo #Gaming #Bluesky

Finally caught up with Sakamoto Days, and I understand most of the criticism about it. The #manga is a masterclass in juxtaposition. A slice-of-life contrasted by dynamic and violent action. Studio TMS seems to be struggling with that. To be fair, the #anime has its heart in the right place.

I love how the lighting, framing, and blocking of Kendrick Lamar's performance at the #SpuerBowl made everything look more cinematic. I just added a widescreen letterbox, some basic color grading, and the footage almost instantly looked like a theatrical release!

Nah. Kendrick at the #SuperBowl looking straight into the camera while singing “Say Drake…” is beyond diabolical! Having an entire football stadium singing "A Minor" isn't enough for this man.

I finally watched Trigun Stampede and I genuinely feel bad for underestimating it as an anime! Stylistic, fluid, and engaging. Orange did a fantastic job updating the look while staying true to the original. Don't let the 3D CGI look stop you from experiencing this! #anime #animation

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is exactly what I wanted it to be! Beautiful, immersive, and the story is far more cinematic than I expected. It also runs beautifully! If it can run on my 1650 that's basically held together by duct tape, imagine what it'll look like on modern GPUs. #Gaming

I just love Fujimoto's way of mirroring scenes to highlight thematic contrasts and character arcs. #ChainsawMan #Manga

As Marvel's first family, I always thought The Fantastic 4 deserved a faithful film adaptation that celebrated what they meant to comic books. Four cinematic iterations later, I think this is the one! That choir section at the end gave me chills! #FantasticFour #Fantastic4 #Marvel

Commenting about today's fiscal report from Nintendo for the previous quarter about the Switch and some of its games, happy about the trends overall even if as I said I think Zelda TOTK deserves even more! Curious to see when Mario Bros Wonder wonder reaches the top 10 #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch

Nah. Everyone at the #GRAMMYs singing "A MINOR" at the top of their lungs is straight up diabolical! You just love to see it.

I have relatives that are conservative Americans and proud Canadians. This trade war is gonna make family reunions a lot more awkward. PS: Go get 'em Canada! 🍁

Broke out the Tumblr to write some thoughts on the BioWare situation, and how despite it being divisive, The Veilguard may have just become one of the most important games in the studio's catalog. It's the final word from a team that wanted the world (both ours and Thedas) to be better.

Baccano! is such an underrated masterpiece! It's got one of the greatest opening songs, an out-of-the-box narrative, and remains a rare example of having a dub that is vastly superior than the sub. I think the 2007 anime scene was just not ready for this kind of experience. #anime #animation

Me on my visit to Japan:

I was honestly surprised at how fun Eternal Strands turned out to be! Story and narrative was alright, but what made the game truly shine was gameplay. It plays like an indie Dragon's Dogma with a vibe similar to that old magic-based battle royale, Spellbreak. Definitely worth trying out. #Gaming

"I know what you want" - The Pokemon Company

It's good that #PlayStation dropped the PSN requirements for their PC ports! I hoped that it also meant the end of their regional restrictions imposed on 130+ countries. Apparently not.

I jumped into No Man's Sky again after the latest update and it's unbelievable! Most of the changes in the "Worlds Part II" update made the game feel like a sequel and it's all FREE! Amazing work from Hello Games!

The Space-Time Smackdown update for #Pokemon TCG Pocket is out and I got a little too lucky today with this amazing Palkia immersive card!
