THE BEARD GAME AWARD 2025 GOES TO
DONKEY KONG BANANZA!

This game was so incredibly fun and the character dynamic between smol Pauline and DK was so charming. I'm so glad I was able to get a Switch 2 and play this game, it really was so fun. If you have a Switch 2 (for some reason) and haven't played this game yet (for some reason) then you absolutely need to, I loved it so much.

The full list of the games I reviewed this year will be in an unlisted reply to this post. I'm looking forward to whatever games I'll be playing next year! There are a lot of new ones coming out I'm interested in and some old but gold ones will be on the list too, I'm sure!

Hey everyone! The game I've been working on for NEARLY TEN YEARS is now officially out! I would love it so much if you would check it out! If you like stuff like Dragon Quest and Elder Scrolls, this might be right up your alley!

A massive thank you to everyone who has helped me work on it, including connections I've made through fedi like @matana and @Mr_NutterButter also thanks to everyone here that kept me motivated and always liked/boosted my posts!

Definitely wasn't always easy, especially in the case of motivation, and I'm sure there are still some bugs out there I didn't catch with a game so large. I'm so happy with the way it turned out though and I'm incredibly grateful that I had the ability to create it!

GO PLAY IT, IT'S FREE!

Top 100 Games 2025 Edition!

Again there are probably some things I forgot, and judging by how far a lot of these moved from their positions int he last list I made, a lot of these games are so close to each other that their placement isn't 100% set in stone. These are just a lot of my favorite games!

My Top 100 Bands.

Not including solo artists, but including duos. Not a definitive list as most of these have the chance of shooting up to #1 for a week while I binge all of their music. This is generally where all of them lie, though!

The background is my favorite albums from the top 25.

My ass is heavy

The Build-a-Bear slogan should be "fluff around and find out"

AllTheFallen's shutdown explained by the site's owner.

TL;DR #1: Legal pressure, though not direct. Monetary costs reaching unsustainable levels. Site users getting out of hand. Vistarrr recommends keeping any new sites niche and thinking hard about what kind of community you want to foster.

TL;DR #2: Vistarrr was away from ATF so the site admins and mods made a backup. They reinstated a mod who was previously removed to help do this by way of adding a backdoor. Vistarrr returns and tells people that the backup is dangerous and is assured it has been deleted. Said mod lied about deleting it, is unhinged, and chimps out, threatening to leak the entire thing. Any ATF clones that pop up after the website shuts down are NOT to be trusted.

AllTheFallen is shutting down. No actual details quite yet. Honestly, can't say I'm surprised. I wouldn't want to run ATF, fuck that. Would have been more based to just say "fuck pedos" and ban everyone with a MAP flag in their avatar but I digress.

I heard that someone who has played RE9 early was invoking Devil May Cry when it comes to Leon's gameplay. It kind of looks that way, honestly. Seeing Leon tear through a zombie with a chainsaw, blow one's head off execution style, and then smash another one's head up against a wall with his boot all back-to-back is fucking awesome. I can't wait.

That sentiment is kind of funny, considering Devil May Cry was originally supposed to be an RE game.

Big tech CEOs are already talking about AI maybe not being all that great after all. It's like they're all in on the joke and are trying to get to the punchline before each other so they can be the one that makes off like a bandit while the others are in ruin.
