We return to Neva on Sunday.

ICYMI I updated my Neva livestream announcement on Damage Control Blog with embedded video from Twitch. I get close to the end of the game, but the platforming turns out to be a bit more than my hands can handle for the night.

Tonight I should be wrapping up Neva on stream. Unless the game is harder than I thought, or the weather causes issues.

The stream is over! We couldn't get put Neva away, but we're close. About 80% done, though the platforming demands precision we just didn't have tonight. We'll be back next week with another stream. We raided @dehler55.bsky.social who's playing Tomb Raider.

Tonight we take a journey in Neva, a once beautiful world is now dying and a girl and her wolf companion have places to go. Come and chill with us!

Tonight's stream is delayed until 9 ET! (For whatever reason, the original announcement post on Bluesky hasn't shown up yet.)

ICYMI I posted my thoughts on Hades 2 on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social, the first sequel from Supergiant Games that's better than its predecessor in some ways, and a largely-positive step sideways in others. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/01/hade...

It's bigger and bolder, and better in most of the right ways.

ICYMI I wrote about the upcoming release of Alex in Street Fighter 6, how similar and different he'll be from previous iterations, and *that* theme, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/01/figh...

This is one of the cooler boss fights we played in Neva. Teaming up with our wolf companion, the titular Neva was extremely fun.

I'm still early, but the Ivalice Chronicles version of Final Fantasy Tactics is a great time, aided by both the presentation upgrades and quality-of-life enhancements. I can't praise having the ability to trigger random battles myself enough, alongside how much more helpful the battle UI is.

ICYMI Last night on Quarantine Control for Damage Control Blog I wrote about the final season of My Hero Academia. Geoff B wrote about the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demo, and CWTyger shared Snow Bear, a short film.

SMT V fan arts (old work). I should revisit Nahobino's design soon.
I owe a lot to the artwork on the left. While I'm not a huge or influential artist, that one drawing I did to express excitement for the newest (at the time) release of SMT connected me with lots of peeps from the fanbase!

ICYMI I wrote about what the next potential project for the Nintendo-owned Retro Studios could be for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. It's possible more Metroid is in their future, or it could be back to the Country. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/01/cogn...
