QTP with your current video game rotation

When you sleep in and actually get a normal healthy amount of sleep so you don’t have time to play video games before work. 😫😴

Finished The Ninth Jedi. Some fun characters and interesting ideas here. I don’t know if it was particularly memorable in the long run, but there is something very cool about “anime Star Wars”.

-Warcraft: Orcs & Humans -World of Warcraft -US Release of Final Fantasy IV (Final Fantasy II)

Building the collection.

@tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf @janochoa.bsky.social @danryckert.com I figured it out. You guys need to do a show which is all 4 of you trying to play through Mega Man 1-11 in order at the same time in a race to see who can beat them all first. Call it The Mega Run. You can even get Mega Ran to guest.

My daughter beat her first Sonic level today.

😍😍😍 #Spongebob #OnePiece

I’m scared.

@grubb.wtf have you seen or heard anything confirming Kojima Productions is losing access to the Decima Engine, or is it all just reasonable speculation?

Finished Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. Tells a touching story in a fun action/adventure, which I’m always down for.

I love this game! #StarFox #StarFoxAdventures

Lanterns is what I want out of superhero tv. This show is phenomenal wow

The Mandalorian and Grogu was entertaining, even though it felt entirely unnecessary.

The Blood of DawnWalker and Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy are both living up to my expectations. A vampire RPG from former Witcher 3 devs and an Uncharted-style adventure in the Plague Tale universe. 2026 is such a banger year for single player games. #Gaming

this one is especially egregious

Finished Ghost of Yotei. For me, this game was better than Tsushima and just about every way (and Tsushima was really good). Glad I finally took the time to get through it.

Finished Caliban’s War (book 2 of the Expanse). Enjoyed it just as much as the first book, and what a final line…

Got the reissue of the Year of the Black Rainbow novel. Excited to reread this soon. Even more excited for the other novels to come out. #CoheedAndCambria #TheAmoryWars

fuck it man i’m listening to Hybrid Theory

Played some of The Duskbloods network test. Mostly reminded me how good it feels to play From Software games and made me wanna replay one of the single player ones.

Mega Infinity is for the children ❤️ thanks for everyone who came to see us this weekend! We had so much fun today at Fest on the Farm!! ❤️

LIES!

With Sora’s dissapearance, #KingdomHearts4 seems to be focused on ways someone can be dead but not gone (Afterlife from Coco, Hades/Underworld from Hercules). You know what other series has characters that are dead but not gone?

Holy shit grabbing this.

Persona game but it’s X-Men Evolution

As someone who doesn’t read the books, that was a very entertaining season of House of the Dragon.

Friend if mine dated a girl. She moves in. She meets his married couple friends. Guy in that relationship and her have weird chemistry. Finds out she started inviting the guy over while he was at work, cause dude kept bringing his 3DS and it was streetpassing my friend's in his house haha.

Getting through my podcasts… @gameonysus.bsky.social @blessingjr.bsky.social

Coworker: My son just sits in his room rotting his brain with video games. Me, playing my Steam Deck during break: 👀

ahaha denshattack is GREAT

Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"

Holy shit I need these!

Finished Dusklight (Zelda: Twilight Princess decompilation project). Enjoyed the game much more than I remembered from 20 years ago. Slow start, and the early wolf parts are very boring, but those later dungeons are super cool, and one of the more interesting stories in Zelda lore.

It’s amazing how much I don’t remember about Twilight Princess. Haven’t played it in 20 years. These dungeons later in the game are really cool.

Wife said she’d go see The Odyssey with me. 😀

Watched Mortal Kombat II. I wouldn’t call this a great movie, but it’s a fun time. If you like Mortal Kombat and want to see these characters fight, you need to check it out.

Started The Ghost in the Shell (2026). Damn, what a tonal shift from the movie, but I’m digging it.

I think I like "One Headlight" better than any Bob Dylan song

Watched Ghost in the Shell (1995) for the first time. A striking film. You can clearly see the influence it had on The Matrix. Excited to check out Stand Alone Complex and the new anime.

Finished Star Fox (2026). Completed all planets and got the true ending. Never played through Star Fox 64, so it was fun to be able to do it in a way that looks so pretty (and for a $2.50 rental at GameFly).

@tolkoto.com if you’re in an Uncharted mood, may I suggest the Tomb Raider LAU Trilogy? (Legend, Anniversary, Underworld) idk if you’ve played them.
