Here's my Top 100 Games Of All Time (as of 2025).
It took quite a bit of time to narrow down the proper order and there's still many more games I've yet to play that I'm sure will make their way onto the list in the future.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

It's cool that Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom is releasing on something other than Meta Quest.
I don't recommend it as a Gundam fan or as a VR experience though.

what i like about CRTs is that different tubes provide totally different experiences, like this uncompromising ”scanlines at 480p" monitor, or the little TV that irons out the jaggiest edges, almost reimagining the 512x448 raw image into a more playful and believable, albeit less precise, rendition.

Hey, so heads up if you bought things from Aliexpress with a credit card, because of new tariff stuff, you may have been charged an additional $10 for EVERY transaction, this includes purchases even lower than $10.
Pay with your Paypal balance instead, but pissed off.

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Brush Burial: Gutter World is out TOMORROW.
It's a lite immersive sim with unique melee combat centered around countering enemies and finishing them with flashy takedown moves.
the levels are dense and full of hidden passages and alternate routes.
and there are nearly 100 cosmetics to mix and match.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.
We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin
Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!

If you want to play Thief I & II on modern PCs and the 25+ years worth of fan missions, this video keeps things simple and to-the-point.
If you already own the GOG version of Thief Gold, make sure to use Thief Gold UnPatch before running RoguePatcher - community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/3...

Additional thoughts:
- The camera combined with various effects really work against this game and often obscure enemy tells and their attack attributes.
- Unite Guts and Spring should have been default abilities

Game I Dropped #1
The Wonderful 101 (Wii U)
Maybe this one isn't for me.
It was a struggle to figure out how the game works. Once I grasped the combat, the game introduced setpieces that lacked signposting on where or what to do that had me desperately looking for the fun factor as it went on.

I'm probably not picking up Metroid Prime 4 until I see how Switch 1 performance and visual quality ends up.
I would hold off until I get a Switch 2 but I don't foresee myself getting one until there's a new Monolith Soft game.
