Zero Time Dilemma is a very clever, intriguing game. It is simultaneously, somehow, an absolute car crash of a game.

Phew. And here I was worried another console wouldn't be blessed with Skyrim.
Skyrim Anniversary Edition now on Nintendo Switch 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fInt...
"Owners of the AE on Nintendo Switch can download the game for free on Switch 2, while owners of the base edition on Nintendo Switch can purchase the "Anniversary Upgrade" to then download the game on Switch 2."

Today was a national holiday for us which was nice! A long weekend was just what I needed tbh!! I am a bit behind comic work but I doodled some fun things and gotten a secret santa gift done. So not bad!
I am excited for this week's comic update, though. Aaaaa, I can't say why but I'm giddy. 😊

I think the devs for Zero Time Dilemma tried to lean more into their American audience. Call it a hunch.

Regardless of my opinions on the Metroid community, I think that Nintendo shot themselves in the foot by not releasing Prime 2 + 3 on Switch. From so many of the discussions I've been seeing about 4, it really feels like people's only exposure to the series was the first game.

Me: I could go for a burger.
Dude from Zero Escape: Ever heard of the Zurich Burger Experiments? In 1957, scientists tested burgers to see how they communicated. After this experiment ALL burgers smelled slightly tangy. Ha! Kidding. Anyway, what should we do about this bracelet that's gonna kill us

If you know anything about Titanfall 2 then you know this is an incredible praise. I can't wait for Thursday now. 🤩
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the best video game of 2025. It's a beautiful maze to unravel and the most creative shooter campaign since Titanfall 2. I adored it.
My review, the first original perfect score I've given in years, now live on PCMag www.pcmag.com/reviews/metr...

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch 2 Is an Instant Classic—and My Top Game of the Year
Gorgeous, highly entertaining, and a thrill to unravel, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch 2 is the best single-player shooter in years and a triumph for gaming's coolest heroine.

NEW: Yacht Club Games needs a hit. In recent years the maker of Shovel Knight has had to lay off staff, pause a 3D project, and delay their next game indefinitely.
The good news is that Mina the Hollower could be special. For Businessweek, this is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Nintendo just randomly gave us Ask the Developer for Drag x Drive.
Prototype screenshots,
Openly refers to it as wheelchair basketball (and even got actual wheelchair basketball players in to test the game),
It was partly inspired by Ice Hockey on the Famicom.

A lot of people, especially ~us critics~, don’t like to acknowledge how much personal life context factors into whether you like a game or not. We’re not objective machines! Sometimes you’re having a shitty time all around and might hate something you’d otherwise enjoy.
I wish more people were open to doing this. Sometimes ur just not in the right head space afor a game. I’ve revisited games id earlier gave up on and added all time favorites to my list. I mean sometimes ur right the first time, but it’s worth the risk. 😂
