I want to talk more about Blue Prince (Dogubomb) because it’s still in my mind. I have not played another run. I want to, but every time I think about firing it up, my brain shrieks in protest. In the last post, I gave my quick opinion on it. One thing I want to point… Continue Reading
Every year, there seems to be one indie game that really captures the imagination of the mainstream. Last year, it was Balatro (LocalThunk) and this year, it’s Blue Prince (Dogubomb)–a first person roguelite-like puzzle game. I have included the release trailer below. I satrted hearing murmurs about it several days ago. I listen to Kinda… Continue Reading
The newest news in the Nintendo world is that the Breath of the Wild, ah…remake? No, Just the Switch 2 version will be ten dollars more than the $60 on the Switch. If you already have the game, then you just pay for an ugrade (which I’m assuming it’s ten bucks) because it’s anothre ten… Continue Reading
I’ve been loosely following the drama surrounding the Switch 2, otherwise known as the SwIItch and a bunch of other cute names. I was never going to get one because one, I don’t do consoles*, and especially not hand-held ones. I do all my gaming on a PC, which is so much more comfortable (to… Continue Reading
I have more to say about The Duskbloods and the state of FromSoft in general. Here is my post about my misgivings from yesterday. This will be the last post…for now. Someone in the Discord I’m in said that it seems that the game won’t be an exclusive forever. People guess that it’s six months–I… Continue Reading
I’m getting pretty sick of people saying you can’t criticize The Duskbloods if you’re a “real” fan of FromSoft. First of all, don’t tell me what I can and can’t criticize. Anything is fair game. Nothing is sacred and nothing is perfect. I’m not mad about the fact that the game is multiplayer. Well, I… Continue Reading
Talking more about The Duskbloods (FromSoft), let’s expand out for a minute. The announcement of the new Switch 2 coincided with the president’s announcement of the new tariffs he was enacting. I’m not going to get political in this post, but I will note that the tariff announcement affects everything, so of course that includes… Continue Reading
Well. I have things to say about the Nintendo Direct Switch 2 announcement thing. I didn’t think I would because I was not planning on getting a Nintendo Switch 2 (still am not), nor do I have a Switch. Back during the beginning of the pandemic, I thought about getting one because of Animal Crossing:… Continue Reading
Let’s talk more about Balatro (LocalThunk) and life in general. How am I going to tie them together? You shall see. I talked at length yesterday about the challenges in the game and how the last one wrecked me. I do want to start with a positive. I just did a casual run with the… Continue Reading
I can’t quit Balatro (LocalThunk). Every time I think I’m out, something pulls me back in. In fact, I am thinking about buying Monster Hunter Wilds (Capcom) just to tear me away from Balatro. And because everyone is loving it so I have some FOMO. But I kept going back to Balatro. I was working on doing… Continue Reading
