nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than reading that Microsoft has to scale back its AI ambitions because NOBODY uses copilot.

Bought Metroid Prime 4 today and I really want to play it, but I’m forcing myself to stick to games that are eligible for our 2025 GotY until we break for the end of the season, so I must abstain for now.

Anthony Geary also died yesterday. He was best known generally for being on General Hospital, but he was best known to me for being in UHF.

Really cool how Larian continues to support their games after launch. I just re-installed Baldur’s Gate 3 hoping to actually roll credits on it (I suck at CRPGs), and the free upgrade for Divinity Original Sin 2 is awesome to see

So, what’s the thought on Cena’s return? Does he come back for the next Wrestlemania or does he skip one or two?
“He’s really retired!”
Riiiiiight.
Because wrestlers stay retired.

The good thing about having a small, under the radar podcast is that I can go on a rant about how I not only hated Death Stranding 2 but it made me renounce my fan card for Kojima and I don’t have to worry about the internet coming for me with pitchforks

If you are downloading hogwarts legacy for free tonight please remember to never ever claim that you actually care about trans people and know that any trans person you happen to have in your life will never fully trust you. Block me and have a terrible night.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

I think that may have been the best Game Awards I’ve seen. More weight given to the awards, more respect paid to the winners, not as much celebrity cringe (stares at Mila Jovovich), and solid variety of games shown. Thumbs way up!

Feels like the US has spent the last 5+ years on the verge of some kind of secular moral revival that keeps getting channeled into weirdo lifestyle puritanism
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

Finished Death Stranding 2. Between that and playing Metal Gear Solid Delta this year I think I need to seriously re-evaluate my feelings on Kojima’s work.

Every year since 2019 I’ve watched The Game Awards with my friend and cohost Justin. I think I look forward to his reactions even more than the show itself.
Tomorrow!

Let us celebrate the return of A Gamer Looks at 40!
NEW EPISODE! Final Fantasy 8. Despite being a smashing success for Square upon release, this game ranks close to the bottom in franchise Best Of Lists. Join myself and an entire crew as we get to the bottom of this divisive title.
