I want to reintroduce myself to Bluesky! Call me Crit! I'm a bit of a Nintendo loyalist and perhaps too critical of movies sometimes. Hit me up if you want my Switch FC! I enjoy writing reviews as well on these sites.

I have a handful of hours into Legends ZA. It feels like Pokemon wanted to be Persona 3 with the day/night cycle, but the content within is kind of sparse.

Pretty cool that the year in review for Nintendo included all years prior. Hades II was my GOTY last year, but it's neat to see games of the past!

New profile art picture done by Kinoiyy, who did a fantastic job with this! Took the OC from the profile pic and gave him a Pokemon (Shiny Galarian Articuno) and Pokeball (Custom Premiere Ball) to go with it! You can check out more of their work here: www.reddit.com/user/Kinnoya...

From sketch to finished piece! Getting the art direction right to capture that classic JRPG feel was really important to us for Legends of Akeroth.✨ We really wanted our latest TTRPG title to live up to that nostalgia!

Media discourse can be so exhausting as of late. I’m listening to random Prime 4 reviews and some will be phrased in “You’re not understanding this right/Doing it wrong”. Discourse doesn’t mean you’re going to court or a debate to be won. It’s okay to have differences of opinion

My two new favorite things coming together. Can’t wait to see it!
Did you hear? NaturalSix will be playing Drakonym! 💜🐉

Enjoying Metroid Prime 4 so far. I do have one nitpick and it's definitely a nostalgia based thing, but the game over sequence is just not as impactful. The scream isn't haunting, the screen is tame. When I died in the first game, I would always want to avoid it because of the sound Samus made.

I was lucky enough to have playtested this game and the system is a lot of fun! The JRPG design is integrated so well into a TTRPG. Also, look at this art!

From the moment it was announced and that Sakurai was directing it, I knew Kirby Air Riders would be something special. As a fan of the original, it is that and then some in terms of content. I'm having so much fun with it.

Having loved the first Hades, starting up the second game felt like putting on some old clothes realizing they fit better than you remember. I only played an hour, but I know I'm going to love this one just as much as the first. There are enough new systems to keep it fresh.

I found myself looking through my physical Switch collection and deciding I could part with a few I had no interest in playing again. I picked up Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, which I only played part the demo but knew I wanted the game. Excited to play more!

That was certainly a meat direct. Was hoping to see more Switch 2 versions for first party games (Xenoblade in particular) but that could always come next year. A lot of things to be excited for!
