Decided it was finally time to jump into my in-laws 2022 Christmas gift, Pokemon Scarlet.
It me.
I am much further than this now. Wanna see my team?

As someone who started going solo with @traviscolenutt.bsky.social around 2015, being on the PAX website will *always* be so cool.
Details to follow - but block off your Saturday night at East!

Did three surprise trades in Pokemon Scarlet - and was given three LV100 Pokemon whose names correspond to websites where you can buy Pokemon for real money.
Pokemon as ads - now I’ve seen it all.
Shocked Nintendo hasn’t shut this down. 😂

8) Miniatures (PC): A neat little surrealist toy with four short stories and with unique mechanics. A cute lil’ hour.
Thanks for the gift @katerblossom.bsky.social!

7) The Last of Us: Part II Remastered (PS5): finally got around to the back half of this game.
I think even with a few days distance, I don’t think I appreciated how fluid and tactical the fights could be in the moment and how they largely landed the plane from a story standpoint.

I have finished TLOU Part 2 (I know, five years late).
I could have written ten ending predictions and the ending wouldn’t have been among them. Genuinely surprised by it.

My fave local video game shop is closing at the end of February, so I had to raid the Wii U shelf for stuff I’ve been eyeing for a while.
We are down to the final 25.

6) Chants of Sennaar (PC): listen - I’m a dumb and so this game wouldn’t have been possible to beat without my amazing partner. I thank her endlessly for her big brain make my tiny brain go vroom through Chants.
It’s neat but really a game for the brain heads out there.

5) Duskpunk (PC): I was really impressed with Duskpunk. It reminded me a lot of the original Citizen Sleeper; the world-building and characterization was really fabulous and there were some really great moments especially near the end that really gripped me.

4) Quantum Break (XSX) - core powers are fun to use in combat, but many vexing elements in this one outside of that.
Rooms where you're tasked with reading emails, time platforming puzzles are bad and I have SO MANY questions about the integrated TV show. Lance Reddick though?
