I'm sorry Nintendo. I own the game digitally and paid for the DLC. You want HOW MUCH??? Half off is an insult for a 4K patch. #HyruleWarriors #Nintendo

Delighted about this. But Illusion of Time / Gaia is the better game. This one is 2nd best, then Soul Blazer.

Terranigma – Rebirth Trailer https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e5rWXIzACtM Terranigma will be available for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and GOG

For anybody wondering. Its up there with Mario 3D world. Its below stuff like Banjo Kazooie, Psychonauts etc. But easily beats the likes of Yoola Laylee.

Just finished Hyrule Warriors : Age of Imprisonment. I love all three of the Hyrule Warriors games. This one was... not content packed, but it told a story I wanted. Legit shed some tears at the end. Not sure if a Zelda game ever did that to me before.

All these game companies literally dying by what they make or don't make. Here's money for you. Alundra. Go fire off a more gorgeous version of that, then work on a True sequel to it. Still the only game that ever managed to out-Zelda Zelda.

Wow. Double Fine. Betting Rareware aren't far off here either. Honestly I love Double Fine, but they're a studio that hopes for Nintendo sales and players while they completely ignore Nintendo's platforms.

Grabbed a few retro psone rereleases lately. Croc Legend of the Gobbos? This is how you bloody rerelease something. Absolutely oozes polish. Gex Trilogy? No. Never buying another carbon engine game again. Fog. Shocking resolution. Dogshit controls and audio.

Absolutely loving my current dev environment. Working hard to finish this, believe it or not. I hope it'll be worth all the delays.

Didn't think much of my PS Portal. Wired my PS5 directly. Messed with every setting suggested online. End of the day, just not for me. Couldn't get an image I felt was worth it. I don't understand how badly Sony are screwing up peripheral hardware launches this gen.

PSVR2. I was excited for this. Second I heard about it. I sold my PSVR for about what I paid for it. Second I found out about the lack of PSVR1 support. I was out, and I'm glad. Tried PSVR2 Then tried Quest 3. HOW IS A QUEST 3 LOOKING BETTER THAN SOMETHING THAT CONNECTS TO A GIANT PIECE OF HARDWARE?

Textures. Clarity/Lack of blurriness. Overall resolution. I think the only thing I noticed was HDR on the PSVR2. Big effing whoop. Not going to as much as touch a PlayStation device at or near launch again.

Aside from Wolverine. Wow. State of Play is always a waste of time. I swear, gaming showcases are 90% Samey looking shit now. Flight Simulator 24 and Seven Deadly Sins Origin was about the only point I perked up somewhat.

What were y'all smoking when you were falling over yourselves to buy pac man world repac when it first launched. What an absolutely dire, dull game. Six dollars I'd like back tbh.

Yooka-replaylee... So. I backed the original. Bought it at launch of PS4 because it wasn't gonna hit Wii U like I'd hoped. My name was in the credits... But the game left me feeling...

Now... Seeing I get an automatic discount at launch for switch 2. Maybe I'll just go for it. Hope I enjoy it more. I have a shedload of banjo mods to play now, so can hardly complain.

I know I'm late to the party, but Ghostbusters - Frozen Empire was a bit good. It had a lot of heart. Definitely suffered with too many characters and plot points, and retreading stuff like keymaster/firemaster. But I am excited about the direction it appears to be taking the franchise in.

Objectively a better movie than Ghostbusters 2. And Afterlife. Just... Packed a lot into it's running time. Left a lot of characters without much to do. I lit up like a Christmas tree seeing James Acaster, and the two returning faces from the first that I didn't know about.

I feel like they could've gotten away with using Samhain in place of Garraka (I keep thinking Baraka) but exploring ancient traps was great, use of brass/orichalcum etc... I eat all it's pseudoscience right up. I think everybody did a great job on that one.

Been largely absent here because of the app lacking two things. A placeholder, that tracks the part of my feed I last viewed. And post alerts. I need my dang lbabinz alerts. For those two reasons... The awful musk app is still on my phone.

Melissa McCarthy owns this though. Voice, both singing and speaking, looks... She's the whole Ursula package. I wonder if Pat Carroll saw this before she passed. I'd be impressed if someone upstaged me this much.

Disney executives. Do they hate the Disney musicals as much as they hate their characters having parents? Finally watching the little mermaid. They give Eric a song. The song isn't "her voice". It's some unmemorable shit about uncharted waters. Extremely well cast (except Eric, for some reason).

You are up to date.
