Grabbed it and have about 3 hours in it so far. As a huge fan of “here’s a list of things to work toward” cozy games, it plays great and has Pokémon-checks all boxes for me.

Daniel, you say you’ve been organizing in the streets.
Real organizers don’t stand around with their hands in their pockets while others do the work.
Let’s stop pretending.
I wonder how far these shortages of the #SteamDeck or consoles like #PS5 and #Switch2 go.
Is there a world where in 2027 we're back to tracking in-stock alerts for consoles that are years old?

All My Friends Are So Depressed is a good song AND easy to relate to. Thanks, global hellscape!
"95% of orgs reported zero return despite enterprise investments of $30-40 billion in AI. OpenAI will not even reach profitability until 2030, and even then, it would need over $200 billion to meet its needs."
Seems not worth all of this? And I don't mean gaming, I mean the US economy crashing.
Nickelodeon Splat Pack is a @limitedrungames.com collection of some perfectly enjoyable SNES era games.

There have been GOTY-nominated titles and upgraded versions of generational games offered in the first 250 days of its life.
I know its sales have slowed. I know Mario Kart and Metroid Prime 4 missed the high bar set for it, in some people's eyes.
But let's stop pretending it's dead on arrival.
For years, people clamored for the Super Switch, an iterative upgrade of the 2017 console that is now Nintendo's most profitable hardware.
Kirby, Metroid, Donkey Kong, and Mario Kart all have new titles on the console.
Why are we panicking about the Switch 2?

Spending the evening finishing @mackeza.bsky.social’s new book Super Nintendo. I really love the way the narrative of the company’s biggest games are laid out here - well worth a read (or listen if you’re me)!
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is the most underrated game on the Switch 2. I wish we could get a few more side games in the BoTW/TotK Hyrule.
And I also love that he’s like “I just gotta make it through this shift and go on this trip” as if he somehow gets to leave himself behind at the hospital. Unfortunately, Robby, you bring allllll of that with you everywhere.
I’ve really appreciated the ways they’re letting it present itself that aren’t straight dialogue or literal panic attacks. It’s the lack of self-regulation in his nonverbals that I think are helping us catch up to how much turmoil he’s carrying.
Adding Never Meant to Fortnite is my Super Bowl.
Hats off on the formation of this - what an exciting thing to dive into on a Friday.
That’s my Governor 🫡
I’m bored of the “this game looks better if you don’t play it on Switch/Switch 2” discourse.
Once ever three months, I put like 10 more hours into Disney Dreamlight Valley and it appears that will be happening again with the Switch 2 version launching.
I can’t believe how good the #FFVIIRemake port is for #Switch2.
Getting to play through this story on what’s becoming my most used console was a real treat - Nintendo fans need to own this game in their collection.
My review for @phenixxgaming.bsky.social:

I love the new Joyce Manor record a lot - one run-through so far this morning.
I don't think we see them break out in a huge way because of the record, but it does feel a bit more accessible for folks who aren't embedded in the punk or emo scenes.
Forget the Super Bowl, February is giving us a new Mitski record and the latest from Chicago's own Ratboys!
A few other releases I'm excited about are featured in the latest new music roundup on @phenixxgaming.bsky.social 🎧

Finished up Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy.
I find there to be some really interesting themes that carry through from I'm Glad My Mom Died, I'm really interested to see where people fall on this one when more folks start finishing it. #booksky
Rolling Stone put up a piece about celebrities speaking out against ICE and one of the top comments said “since when do we care what celebrities have to say” so I clicked on her profile and a month ago she was telling everyone how excited she was to get Snoop Dogg’s cook book.
There are elements I really like and some things that didn’t hit with me, but the #cozygamers community seems to be right in line with me.
I think the influx of titles in a genre of softer, calmer games for all-ages is one of my favorite trends in the last decade of the medium.
Cozy Caravan is out for #NintendoSwitch and I had the opportunity to review it for @phenixxgaming.bsky.social
Check it out below 😊

I’m so bad about sharing work here, but I’m going to try and be better!
Anyway, everyone thank @luckshotgames.com for kicking off the new year with the first truly great game of 2026 🫡
Big Hops is fun to play and feels great to play too.

I’m currently working through Life as No One Knows It by @saraimari.bsky.social and I don’t exaggerate when I say diving into something I know so little about is helping me preserve my curiosity and awe in such dark days.
The only thing making me feel less like shit with the state of ✨everything✨ is reading so please consider this my application to be involved in #booksky thank you for your consideration.
I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
Final Fantasy VII Remake runs like a charm on Switch 2.
I kinda expected more slip-ups, but 4 hours into gameplay for review over at @phenixxgaming.bsky.social, it’s looking and feeling great.
Hate to report all three of these are great, I look forward to saying I won't buy them and then making the impulse purchase when I'm weak.
