It seems like Marvel Cosmic Invasion just decided to lift everything from classic arcade beat em ups without thinking about modern design. It's a shame because it looks visually amazing and we need good new entries in the genre

If Chrono Trigger gets remade should it be in some super fancy hyper 3D graphics style? Because the new look of Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined I think would fit it perfectly

I'm listening to a podcast and they're talking about how they couldn't finish Silksong, didn't like playing it, but it was a great game and a game they loved playing was actually bad. I've been doing games criticism a long time, I think it's time to just admit everything is our opinion

The way Battletech has sold its light mechs was always funny to me. Like why ever be a light mech pilot? You read the Locust, Wasp, and Stinger battle histories and it's like "Oh ya here's a battle where we lost 40 of these pieces of trash. Good thing we had 200 more."

Maybe I'm too terminally inside, but every neighborhood should have a drone guy who can send up a drone to give you immediate information about the current traffic in your area and if store parking lots are packed or not lol

Full of turkey and wine I have to say I'm thankful for the creative output of so many artists, writers, entertainers, podcasters, streamers and of course game developers. Your work is more important than you realize. Good night all!

Time to make some food for family Thanksgiving, prep food for the big Sunday dinner I'm doing and finish up this 2025 recap article. Think I found a good audio solution better than just slapping it up on Dropbox lol

We need to bring back mechs. Enormous, slow, bristling with weapons, layers of armor, being driven by a person in their underwear because it's 900 degrees in the cockpit. I want to block out the sun with missiles. I want to shoot crackling laser beams that could take out a city.
