While watching GDQ this past week I mindlessly grinded in Dragon Quest Monsters: the Dark Prince

So here's me now, fighting the boss of the fourth area (G and F rank monsters in this dungeon) with three A and one S rank lol
A first person view JRPG battle with a purple/rainbow gem golem. The four characters in the party are a gilded treasure chest mimic, an orange cyclops, a blonde witch, and a pink platypus wearing a red crown.

Hadn't gotten an SSR after about 60 pulls in the banner, but ended up getting pretty lucky with two of the new Snow White

Now if only I had the Pilgrim Attacker gear to spare lol
The results screen for a pull of ten characters in NIKKE: Goddess of Victory. There's two blue characters, six purple, and two of the same gold SSR character.

Last girl dinner of the year
A meat, cheese, and crackers appetizer/party platter. Half the crackers are gone, and while there's a bunch of meat and cheese there I assure you there's less now. A plate with eight crackers with a piece of meat and cheese on top, freshly microwaved.

Whenever you have to do something you especially do or do not want to do, roll a d6 and do the action below
1: Say something badass and only barely appropriate to the situation. 2: Look in the mirror or at someone nearby and make a funny face. 3: Scream and/or shout for at least 3 uninterrrupted seconds. 4: Clap your hands together once as hard as you can without injury. 5: Drink a giant gulp of whatever beverage you have at hand. 6: Attempt to flex every muscle you have all at once.

I got this game for Christmas last year, and gosh have I put the time into it. Hoping to do a challenge with these demons that I'll record.
A save file in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance showing a playtime of 195:34 and all six endings achieved. The party screen showing the main character of SMT V: Vengeance with all stats at 999, and the first 12 demons of the party with 999 Hp and Mp. The same menu but scrolled down so it shows the other 12 demons in the party also with capped Hp and Mp.

For those that have played 'I Have Low Stats But My Class Is "Leader", So I Recruited Everyone I Know To Fight The Dark Lord' (which is on sale on Steam and itchio right now), Mojisola's the main character in the tactics game I'm working on, and I've finally got her skills to a spot I'm happy with
A spreadsheet with 10 skills showing names, types, ranges, areas, costs, when learned, and effects. The "learned" cells are all levels, save for Usurp which is blacked out. The ten skill names and effects are as follows: Bash: Deals SKD*1.5 damage to an adjacent enemy. Can't be countered or miss. Slack Off: Recover 5% of your Max Hp and Morale. Can't use while you have the Payment buff. Forced Advance: Deals SKD*1.5 damage to all enemies in a row and pulls them two steps towards you. Brutality: Deals SKD damage to enemies in a circle around you. Gives them -1 MOV and Max Range for 2 turns. Usurp: Deals SKD*2.5 damage enemies in Cross 1. Can't be countered or miss. Named enemies take double damage. Finally, some action!: Recover 20 Morale. Doubles your ATD and SKD for this turn. You face me.: Recover 20% of your Hp. You gain 50% DR, and you and adjacent enemies get -99 MOV until your next turn. Money Motivated: While Mojisola has the Payment buff, she also gets 25% ATD, SKD, ACC, EVA, CNT, DR, & +1 MOV. Incentivize: While Mojisola has the Payment buff, she and allies adjacent to her get 5% Morale Regen. Indomitability: Enemies adjacent to you get -10% ATD, SKD, ACC, and EVA.

Also yeah, I no-lifed the shit out of this game for the first three weeks and have stayed off the gacha horse since
A chart for Umamusume: Pretty Derby showing I played it for 12% of my Total Playtime, with 63 Sessions Played and a 20 day streak. The bar graph at the bottom shows about 12% of time in June, 88% in July, and 0% elsewhere.

Opened Steam for the first time in a week and it showed me a recap and gotta say, I always knew the average gamer was weak
On the left is a circular pie chart with a hollowed out center that shows 55% of it as blue newly released games, a yellow sliver for classic games, and the rest as recent games. In the center a blue box with black font saying "55% New Releases: The percentage of playtime you had in new releases (games released in 2025). To the right a blue outline box with blue font saying "14%: The percentage of playtime spent by all Steam users in new releases (games released in 2025). The top graphic says "You unlocked 1,069 achievements" while showing the median is 11. The center graphic says "You played 51 games" while showing the median is 4. The bottom graphic says "Your longest streak was 35 days" while showing the median is 6.

I'm playing the city right, ended up getting second in my Oval Circuit room at the end so third place overall, and the team still lost

Glad to be done with this event with a whopping 0 team wins, fucking hell

Should've known this was going to be a bad event when we get all three legendaries, they raced outside of my group, and two sandbagged so we still lost

Hydra might have but it was a real short race and maybe they didn't have charge. Dragoon and Leo though? C'mon
A Team Results screen in Kirby Air Riders. Red team won, 500 to 440. I'm at the top of Blue team with 100 points. A Hydra on Blue has 5th place and 80 points. The same screen but scrolled down. Blue team also had Leo and Dragoon, which got 11th and 15th place, with 40 and 20 points respectively. The event in the top left shows Fantasy Meadows.

I've gotten similar comments about one of my older games where you play as 99 characters at once, 'I Have Low Stats But My Class Is "Leader", So I Recruited Everyone I Know To Fight The Dark Lord'

It might seem ridiculous at first, and then you find out I play it totally straight

Now up to 44 reviews! Newest one's a bit long so just clipped the end of it. Glad to see they understood what we were going for, and you can leave whatever number you like if you're still putting it as Recommended.
Even with these limitations, Purgatory Dungeoneer has a distinctive emotional core that many roguelites lack. Its combination of mechanical depth, thematic weight, and unusual structure makes it memorable. It tries to treat its characters—these fallen souls—not simply as tools for combat, but as echoes of lives once lived. The result is a game that’s as much about closure and healing as it is about tactical combat. For players who enjoy experimenting with party builds, navigating challenging tactical encounters, and inhabiting worlds that lean into darkness without surrendering to despair, this game offers a surprisingly moving and richly layered experience. It may not be perfect, and it may not appeal to everyone, but for those who appreciate its blend of emotional storytelling, deep customization, and roguelite structure, Purgatory Dungeoneer stands out as one of the more thoughtful and atmospheric entries in its niche. Rating: 6/10.
