now this is wuxia (wandering sword)
screenshot from Wandering Sword. A pair of villains has been caught trying to sneak into a treasure vault, and they're now flanked by a scruffy sword-user and a wheelchair-bound detective. One of the villains, Lianxian, a guy dressed like a stereotypical shady bureaucrat, says: "Gusu Wheelchairman and Ye Fei the Black Hawkstrider... This is a real head-scratcher for me."

i thought they were being a bit too Cute with this but i do kinda get it now
Difficulty select screen from UNBEATABLE. "Hard" is selected. Text beneath reads: "[Hard] Is our baseline difficulty. It's what another game might say is the "intended experience." For us, the "intended experience" is one where you give the game your full attention and hit credits. The "ideal experience" is playing this game in one sitting late on New Year's Eve and finishing it a few hours after midnight.

Tracks seeing as it wouldn't take my 3DS or Switch time into account. Xenoblade X would certainly be my most played, and SMT4 or Devil Survivor would probably have solid shots.

just for you. you get an early preview of a tiny chunk of my 2025 games roundup post. don't tell anybody.
A snippet of a larger "Games I played in 2025" list. It reads: "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 4 out of 5 stars Possesses the essential quality of an Xbox 360 JRPG; the exact kind that all the games press currently tumbling over themselves to praise Clair Obscur would have cited as proof of Japan's inevitable decline. I don't particularly care for the entire third act on a conceptual level, but the moment-to-moment writing and acting is great throughout. More proof mascots are better as sad old men: Monoco It really is that busted even post-nerf: Stendahl"

Every cutscene in Air Riders is funnier with Rick wearing a silly hat
Rick the hamster posing dramatically while wearing a stereotypical Chinese cap that, were it in a less charitable context, could potentially be construed as somewhat racially insensitive. But this user can say it.

been doing some long overdue cleaning and found this old signed copy of @maryrobinettekowal.com's valour and vanity that had a sheaf of extra pages mis-bound in the middle of it
a paperback book with an extra sheaf of pages starting with page 351 bound in between the normal pages 350 and 351

he's just like me fr fr
page from the volume extras of Trigun, Panel 1: "I am Yasuhiro Nightow (33). I was describing the process of developing my story when the publisher came along, shouted and punched me..." Panel 2 (Publisher speaking): You eat, sleep, game, sleep, and only write a little bit in between. You don't even exercise. You are wasting your life away! You have no dreams, no will, no inner fire!!"

i think there are some pretty fun subquests in this game and absolutely none of them are anywhere near as funny as the episode of the anime where the old man on the crew is revealed to have been an actor in his youth starring in an entire series of sharpedo themed b-movies
fake movie poster for "Man of the Sea Versus Sharpedo". a buff dude is surfing and a sharpedo is behind him. fake movie poster for "The Bridges of Olivine City Versus Sharpedo". a buff dude and a lady stare longingly at each other while a sharpedo rises from below. a fake movie poster for "Clefairy in the Outfield Versus Sharpedo". a buff dude is hitting a baseball but a sharpedo is leaping out of the water to eat the ball in midair. fake movie poster for "Johto Poets Society Versus Sharpedo". a buff dude is teaching a class that is about to be attacked by a gang of sharpedo

Screenshot from Mother 3 where the party is checking a mailbox. Text is: "The mailbox lid is open... Peek inside?" (At this point in the game the party is tripping on mushrooms or something and the mailboxes in this area all contain surreal or horrifying things.)

literally everything about soul hackers 2 seems incredibly mediocre but i will say ringo's pretty fun
a party of various anime people are sitting around a table including one wacky mascot that is controlled by one of the other people sitting there so really it has no business also being at the table. ringo the playable protagonist says: "Oh man, you guys. I just had a breakthrough. You can dip the bread... in the soup."

Me: "edelgard is a fundamentally misguided individual who undercuts any of her political messaging with her willingness to commit atrocities in the name of the conquest and subjugation of fodlan while intentionally ignoring the historical context which created the church of seiros and the unscrupulous dealings with eugenicists and ethnic-supremacists that permitted her own privileged position in the adrestian empire" Intelligent Systems: "what if she was an adult woman from fantasy egypt fighting in the fantasy olympics to prove her country deserves to sit at the global table via force of arms" me: "hmmmm hang on"

these have been in the reaction image rotation for years now. sun and moon was good.
ash ketchum, eternal 10 year old, says: "I am too old for this." from sun and moon ash ketchum sits on a couch with an exhausted look on his face. pikachu also looks exhausted. from sun and moon rowlet the pokemon has a complex facial expression simultaneously expressing revulsion, dread, confusion, worried, and confused despite being a cartoon owl a comedic "postcard memory" painted frame featuring the pokemon beware and its child the pokemon stufful. stuffil is comically sitting in the driver's seat of a van when it is certainly too young to drive. both are looking outwards with a blank expression.
