This would be awesome
After the super fun MIXED NUTS MAYHEM match last night, I think the AEW Trios titles should be intergender

I don't like the Steam Replay because it presents sessions instead of just hours which means it counts the bajillion times I turn my Steamdeck on and off as a "session". Also Marvel Snap gets inflated stats because I play it while watching wrestling and sometimes forget the window is open.

Absolutely killer work from VGHF

I got Death Stranding 2 a few weeks ago and apparently if not for that I would have only spent 18 hours on my PS5 this whole year.

Here's some TGA counter-progamming if you'd like, a sick thread about cool indie games.

I vow in 2026 to force myself to catch up on a bunch of these.
Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.

1. Carimara

Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

I still have a copy of this ad that I ripped out of a magazine

I have no business still buying sealed packs of FF MTG but every time I do I still somehow get at least one cool card that I don't have and would have cost me about the same as a pack to purchase individually so my bad habit keeps getting reinforced.

Sometimes the best part of pro wrestling isn't what happens inside the ring, it's the dumb shit that happens outside of it.
It’s up and it’s the last one ever.

My YouTube Music recap is very reflective of my having to play KPop Demon Hunters every time I drove my kid anywhere this past summer.

Pizza is my order as well.
This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)

Walking out of Wake Up Dead Man and one of our fellow theater goers is LOUDLY discussing the plot of the movie in the tiny lobby of our local theater.

Snitching to corporate and getting 30 people fired is not mandatory — rats have to make that choice for themselves.
PMG understands Rockstar became aware of these messages after at least one non-union member of the server raised concerns about these discussions with management and this either kicked off, or contributed to, a wider investigation.

One of the greatest consoles of all time. An absurd amount of classic games, XBLA pushing indie games into the spotlight and every night when I signed on there would be a ton of friends online ready to play the newest games. It was a moment in time that will never be replicated.

This is probably the worst thing I could have read regarding a new Metroid game.

Fun to see male fans get the vapors over women blading. The average gal has had a monthly relationship with blood before you had a whisker, goes to bed listening to podcasts about Ted Bundy, and would gleefully take a scalpel to any blemish you have if you let her. Catch up.

Vay stands out the most in my memory because I purchased a copy off of eBay and the guy just sent a burned CD-R with "Vay" written in marker on it.
Vay (1993) by Hertz (not the car company) was a fantasy RPG for the Sega Mega CD in Japan and later localized by Working Designs for the USA. As Prince Sandor, you must rescue your beloved from the wicked Danek Empire and its mechs by recovering the legendary armor, Vay! (an alien armor thread)

Yeah this turns out to be a lie. Just non-stop Hades for the past week. Game is too good.
I also got credits on Hades II! Yeah, not quite "finished" because there's more stuff I can do but I think I'm gonna chill a little bit.

Uh, it's awesome? Just as good and addicting as the original? Maybe not quite as flawless? Some of the crafting resource-gathering is kinda meh.
