It is pretty rare that I get to finish reading a manga series, so wanted to share – #HighSchoolFamily
Kotaro Ietani is about to start his first day of High School when he learns surprising news. His dad is also attending High School, and so is his little sister, his mum ... and the family cat!

Recently finished a project that I have been working on – I now have a history of all games that I completed on #HowLongToBeat. Needed to do some guessing for the earlier games, but was surprised how much I could reconstruct from notes and emails.

"The heroes win the campaign!", and with that, our playthrough of Bones of Arnor ended after 14 chapters.
This is The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth, a co-op board game played with the support of an app. We fought creatures of darkness, collected artifacts …

It is great to see so many people enjoying #PokemonZA! For myself, I decided to go back and pick up my playthrough of #PokemonMoon.
In 2020, I made it halfway through the game. Continuing from there was harder than expected, but I relearned the game and saw credits after 65h59m.

Do you sometimes fall behind on posting about games you have played? Yeah, me neither. Totally.
Anyway, here is #HanaSamurai: Art of the Sword on the 3DS. I beat the game in 5h35m, and enjoyed it way more than I had expected.

Hey, wild shot in the dark, does anyone want to play Absolum on Steam together?
Roguelite beat'em up from Dotemu (Streets of Rage 4) that released just a week ago. Seems super cool and co-op is supposed to work great.

A game I randomly remembered seeing at #Gamescom years ago is #Coria and the Sunken City. A 2D platformer developed for original Game Boy hardware.
Kind of insane, but also cool. The game has a beautiful animated trailer by @machaon.bsky.social on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=tplZ...

I won't be able to play #TitanQuestII for a while, but it just felt right to support the game at this point.
The developer is from the same area that I grew up in, and they are putting a lot of care and attention into this sequel. I'm rooting for the project and the team!

I'm on a quest ...
... to complete every case in the #AceAttorney mainline series. I have already played through all six games roughly when they released, but I haven't played the DLC cases – until now!

Are there games you associate with a specific time of year?
For me, it's the Subset Games titles and warm summer nights. Playing #FTL with the window open, the evening glow, the soundtrack. So calm, so at home.
This year, I picked #IntotheBreach back up, and it hit that summer feeling just right.

#PerfectDark and #Everwild were two of my most anticipated games. I don't have a hot take, not even a proper reaction that I can put into words.
Even more games have been cancelled, but these two are the hardest for me. I really have been talking about Everwild at least once every two weeks or so.

Got this in the mail last week. I finally have the original trilogy of the #PhoenixWright games on DS, restoring my original collection.
Looking forward to giving the #AceAttorney series its own shelf in my #GamesRoom one day! ✨

#NoGhostsAtTheGrand is my favourite trailer in a good while. I was smiling throughout.
Not a musical, "[...] more like a cool, dusty album of British ska and punk songs from the 1980s that you find in your dad's record collection."

#SummerGameFest came and went quickly. For me personally, it was a quieter event this time. There are still games I'm curious about, and some that I am really looking forward to, though! Allow me to share.

Happy #NintendoSwitch2 launch day! Excited to see what this console will do.
I will not be able to play Mario Kart World myself, so I have played and finished another kart racer in the last couple of weeks – #TeamSonicRacing!

With the excitement for #MarioKartWorld everywhere, I had the motivation to complete #MarioKart7 on the 3DS.
I only started the game back in 2023! My (arbitrary) criterion for completion was to get the gold trophy on all 150cc cups, with at least one star ⭐️.

One of the games I played last year, which I haven't talked about so far, was #DragonAge: Inquisition. I had already started the game back in May 2021, but stopped halfway through at the time. I picked up my save in 2024, and finally saw the game's main story to its end.

Hey, I know I'm two months late, but I still want to talk about the #TheGameAwards from December. It was one of my favourite events. Beyond the games that were shown, I felt there were genuine moments that gave a sense of optimism, hope maybe even, for the industry going forward.

In December, during my break, I rolled credits on Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. It was my first big game that I played entirely on #SteamDeck. It was perfect, really.
Beating #SMTVV took me 105h 36m. The final bosses were some of my favourite of any JRPG that I have played.

Tried something completely new and went to #Dragonmeet this weekend. With only little #RPG experience, this event definitely challenged me! I'm happy I went though – people were friendly and kind, and it was great to see rpg players in their element 🐉

#EGX a week ago. Quite different from last year, with the event merged with MCM Comic Con this time. My highlight was the #Bandai booth, where we got to build model kits. My first ever #Gunpla!
I was impressed with Son Goku especially, the build experience is so well designed ✨

#FinalFantasyVII #CrisisCore – this cinematic means a lot to me. After finding a subbed version online back in 2009, I watch the video so much that I learned my first Japanese word, いいだろう, without even realizing.
