How’s Kirby Air Riders?

I do think there is a level of gatekeeping in comp Splatoon. But there is also a sense of “I beat Z so I’m entitled to Y”.

It’s not either or. I think it’s both.

That’s why I think it’s important to prioritize fun. Play with friends. Enjoy tournaments. Play X Rank. Don’t make this your everything.

Kirby Air Riders looks incredibly fun.
Metroid Prime 4 looks really promising.
Pokopia makes me feel that this could be this generations Pokemon Snap.

Fun games all around.

Steam introducing a console had me feeling like a relic in the gaming space.

When I saw the announcement, my first instinct was to ask “what exclusive games will it have?”

I grew up during the console wars. Sega vs Nintendo, PlayStation vs Xbox. But that question doesn’t matter as much anymore.

Seems relevant to bring this up again for Splatoon players

Pro tip: have fun
X Rank is a good mode for players to get better at Splatoon.

Brie Larson as Rosalina is just perfect casting.

It’s crazy how consumer shopping is expected to be strong this upcoming holiday season even with the economy slowing down and being hard for many.

I know some parents out there doing their best to make it fulfilling for their kids even if they themselves are struggling. Shout out to them.

I feel like one reason why some gamers have huge backlogs is that they buy the game at release because of FOMO. And end up not playing it or playing it as much because of limited time.

Top 5 Zelda Games (for me)

1. Tears of the Kingdom
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Ocarina of Time
4. A Link Between Worlds
5. Twilight Princess

Honorable mentions: Link’s Awakening, The Minish Cap, A Link to the Past

When a new season starts on Splatoon and you grind to S+0

I like that Nintendo is separating some many things into separate apps.

Nintendo Music, Nintendo Store, Nintendo Today.

If only we can get Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Maps, Nintendo Conference, Nintendo America, Nintendo California, Nintendo Los Angeles

I say “buckets of money” as opposed to “pots of money”. Trying to keep my Splatoon lingo intact.

(I work in budgeting)

I think this meme perfectly captures my experience in the gaming space.

I’m not from NY nor do I live in NY but I’m cautiously optimistic for what may happen from November 4th and onward.

Wishing the best.

Pokemon Z-A is fun. A few gripes with the game.

The points required for the shiny charm, particularly the 1000 battles, is a bit asinine. If you complete everything else, you only need 100 points.

I’ll think I’ll just continue battling in the DLC. No rush in getting the shiny charm tbh.
November 1, 2025 at 8:58 PM
This seems like a good enough reason to play the game again.

More updates to existing games is making it very hard to buy Metroid Prime 4.
October 30, 2025 at 5:42 PM
I was not familiar with your game, Pyroar. My god, you are terrifying.
October 25, 2025 at 9:01 PM
I appreciate the Pikman 4 update. A lot of replayability with that update.

Marvel Invasion finally got a release date.

I’m honestly thinking of just buying that in Dec & playing that rather than Metroid Prime 4.

I unfortunately don’t have a lot of time & I will likely still be playing Pokemon ZA.

In Pokemon X, the first Pokemon I caught was a shiny Fletchling. Route 3, full odds shiny.

Years later, in Pokemon ZA, the first shiny Pokemon I caught was also a Fletchling. I was going to my first rank up battle. Rank Y, full odds shiny.

I had an Anton Ego moment. I am enjoying this game.

Logging off all socials for Pokemon Z-A!

Will come back when I finish.

I am breaking my Pokemon tradition with going with Totodile and will pick Chikorita instead. I want a Froakie & Talonflame on my team too.

I hope all is well. I got a new job so that keeps me busy. See ya! 👋🏽

My nephew came over yesterday. First time he ever showed interested in video games, and somehow, Tears of the Kingdom and Mario Kart World caught his attention.
