Kai has not touched the Switch in like two weeks and I’ve been too busy to play. As soon as I try to play more Silksong, he runs over:

Oh yeah, this decision alone helps the discussions immensely. If I didn’t do those, I wouldn’t care as much.

Signs you will never please everyone:

“These Top 10s were better when you didn’t have the duplicate rule!”

“These Top 10s are so much better now that the duplicate rule is here!”

Well this sounds like it would’ve been freaking awesome. Django Unchained Assassin’s Creed? What an inspired idea that sadly was cancelled because we have to listen to morons and their tender fee-fees.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Once before. But it was pretty obvious is retrospect.

I had 15 extra minutes and decided to try to beat Silksong Act 1 again. It’s been weeks since I last was able to play but hey, I finally pulled it off! Act 2 here I come!

Not me waxing about my dude after reading NPR's article about Southeast Asian resistance groups using the Straw Hat Pirate's flag as a banner to organize under.
"I don't care if you're a King or not! There's more important things than power!"

"If you don't take risks, you can't create a future!"

"I'll make a world where my friends can eat as much food as they want!"

"If you hurt somebody… Or if somebody hurts you, the blood that flows Is still red."

"I don't want to conquer anything. I just think the person with the most freedom on the oceans is the King of the Pirates."

"I like heroes, but I never want to be one."

Luffy constantly tears down corruption, evil, abuse, and tyranny. It is never from the stance of wanting to control or usurp something for himself. It is always because someone is suffering who has been stepped upon and abused, or seen as less than human. He's destroyed slave trades, toppled unjust Kings, and even fights against a corrupt government that wants to control what people see, hear, and read.

He and the Straw Hats are a threat to a regime that wants to hide information and keep people from asking questions. He and others tirelessly fight to not let old men dictate how they live their lives, where individuals who are trans or seen as being undesirable are able to find "family" and joy.

He's a fictional character among many others, but this is the sort of example more of us could learn from.

I've been reading/watching One Piece since 2000, and I'm still learning more about the world and what it means to be "free" even after all these years.

"No one gets to laugh at someone's dream!"

This is the episode where I can envision the major points of the rest of Whole Cake. But that takes nothing away as it’s all engrossing. Join @brandonbovia.bsky.social and I as we applaud the portrayal of an Emperor’s power in this week’s One Piece at a Time! youtu.be/vD5mygzdF94?...

I had to take breaks because of helping out the family but Xenogears is the subathon that will not end. We’re so close to the end of Disc 1! To everyone that has watched, donated, or wished me a happy birthday (which is already like half a month ago!) I truly thank you.

SOMEHOW the Xenogears Sub-A-Thon has reached Day 4. (THANK YOU!!!) We're starting out by climbing the Tower of Babel and there's about 6 hours left on the timer. I suspect this will be the last day so I'm going to see if I can finish Disc 1. Come join and watch! www.twitch.tv/bitnerdgames

Curious about the total votes for the Xbox Series X? I have them all posted in the shared doc. Take a look and see how well your pics did!

Well, isn't this some crazy timing what with the Game Pass debacle. Still, the Series X is host to good games, maybe just not exclusives. See what made the Top 10 as @jon.gvg.io and I discuss each entry! youtu.be/e18-Hsxv16o?...

I took some time to play and think about Fire Emblem Shadows before making a new video on it. I’m still baffled and underwhelmed

So Big Mom’s hunger pangs have hit and she’s been aimed squarely at the Straw Hats! Fortunately Nami has some tricks up her sleeve as @brandonbovia.bsky.social and I have certainly reached the climax of the arc! youtu.be/bO_I9bLwd_g?...

Idk if Pac-Man has an official Bluesky account, but Bandai Namco just posted this survey about PMW2 Re-Pac.

Lots of good questions in here about all the new content and features, AND they ask about Pac-Man World 3, or a possible new entry 👀
