gamestop, ubi, and roblox for me.honorary mention of Nintendo exercising patent rights that could fuck a lot of shit up.

lol, glad someone brought up TLOU cuz i thought i'd have to.to be slightly spicy- i'd like to point the gun in my direction and say BALATRO. i "get it" in as much as i played for a solid 3 hours and g...

not bad! i played a ton of games, and while only a relatively small amount were from 2024, they included:dragon's dogma 2astrobotbalatroerdtree (i guess?)the plucky squirepretty good diversity of stuf...

@bigsocrates: yeah fair enough on the clunkers- but to be be fair (and pedantic) Skull and Bones was Ubi Singapore right?it's true Concord and Suicide Squad were big misses- but i dunno, 2 failed live...

to borrow a metaphor i'm unqualified to use- i think it sorta depends on what you consider and value as an "at-bat."sure- The Keighleys favorites this year are not shaping up to be AAA from The West. ...

well, i for one am absolutely gobsmacked that corporate entities would rather ask forgiveness than permission. /sit's going to feel really fucking stupid if we bring all these nuclear reactors online ...

i'd agree that it's remarkable what can be achieved when you build to spec. i'm only really playing 1st party on the Switch, and i'm generally not a pixel peeper or a frame counter- so i maintain it'...

truly achieving China Don't Care levels of garment design.probably will age just as well : )

everyone has their own favorites for PC build sites, but if you're just trying to get a lay of the land-https://www.logicalincrements.com/^while i don't use that site for build lists, it does give yo...

i am but a single datapoint- but if i'm being honest, the Switch 2 isn't terribly exciting for me. despite being a Raised on Nintendo kid (NES, SNES, N64...and then a giant lapse until Switch)- i nee...

i think the thing that makes the Concord situation difficult to categorize for me is there's 2 aspects going on with it.it was competent- and it nobody wanted to buy it. that's powerfully open and shu...

yeah, this is just sad all around. feels like a Jim Ryan purchase that Herman Hulst is now responsible for, and i'm not sure there's much saving grace to be had when the whole market seems to uniforml...

nah- i might buck the trend, but i sincerely feel that the majority of my most impactful gaming experiences have been within the last 10yrs or so.

mouthfeel. and then terroir is probably a close 2nd.

not to belabor my point above, but it is kinda wild there's a mario party review written by ryckert that isn't posted to gb.https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/super-mario-party-jamboree-review-this-part...

i just finished it maybe, 2 weeks ago? Dredge is great!it isn't the sort of paradigm shift that will have you grabbing strangers by the shoulders and exclaiming "brother have you heard the good news ...
