Kirby Air Riders Test Ride Early Thoughts:
After about two hours with the demo, here are my early and way too many thoughts. Going to make a lot of comparisons from the new Kirby Air Riders (Riders) to Kirby Air Ride (KAR).
City Trial:
-Feels much more like a battle mode than it did in KAR.

So I tagged along with the podcast (which you should definitely listen to) and gave my own predictions *before* hearing @bignerdgaming.bsky.social and @hananomaude.bsky.social picks/reasoning.

I never want to hand out 10/10s easily. I also want to avoid extreme statements unless I really mean them.
So when I tell you that Hades 2 is a 10/10 and the best roguelike of all time, you can be assured that I mean it.

4 games that took me outside of my comfort zone, changing my perspective on gaming over the years.
Binding of Isaac (2011)- Discovered through Twitch streams back in the day (shoutout one of the OGs LethalFrag). Started my love of roguelikes and overall future discovery of indies.

Everyone who knows me a little knows I’m terrible with horror games. I think it all started with a certain Xbox 360 game.
It has one thing in common with Silent Hill 2: mannequins. Those damn mannequins.
Here are some random thoughts on how I experienced the game:

I have so many fond memories of being a Tamagotchi boi back in the late 90s, so much so that I bought one for my daughter. I hate it.

Ghost of Yōtei kept me hooked for over 60 hours. Atsu is a compelling new lead, the open world feels more alive and rewarding, quests intertwine naturally, and the combat stays flashy and brutal from start to finish.
