You are you.

NiGHTS into Dreams was a game I heard so many people praise... now that I've given it a fair shot?

Everyone was right.

Desperately want this game to kick ass and be successful, it looks 1000% like my kind of game... and nails my favorite game aesthetic (anything that looks like Jackie Chan Stuntmaster)

Can't wait for this game!

Kinda cool that my seasonal depression has combined with my growing dislike of my friend group to make friend gatherings depressing

Secret Santa party today, giving something to someone whose favorite game is Final Fantasy X, and when I say I'm cooking I 100% mean it.

Larian and Sandfall owning up to using AI helped clear up my backlog, that's the silver lining I choose to focus on.

Tired of the take that anti-AI stances are performative because that's a malicious form of apathy which erodes the point of the stance. AI use is genuinely damaging our planet.

Legendary game developers having trouble with funding. Ron Gilbert not being able to get a good publishing deal for an RPG he wanted to make. Keita Takahashi having to move back to Japan after To a T doesn't sell well.

Somebody needs to bankroll these people to make games for the world.

If you grew up with the Colin McRae and Sega Rally games, I can't recommend Old School Rally enough. Simple, fun, pick and play goodness.

Having a lovely conversation with a retro game seller in Japan about the SEGA Saturn I'm planning on buying... it's the little things.

What a magical system, too. Despite being born after the Saturn launched, I look back at that generation of early 3D games with a specific sense of wonderment.
