By the way, the Twilight Princess decompilation was finished. Work on the PC port has begun!

@djsumdog @merchantHelios @berkberkman @coolboymew @ooignignoktoo well there are two plants currently being built in the US AFAIK and they are being expedited, and the AI bubble definitely is going to pop at some point I think, so the prices will definitely come down. They have shot up and then gone way down considerably before too, though not quite as much.

@flux_the_cat uncharted 2 is peak video games tbh, I would recommend it for sure. Last of Us has an amazing story, gameplay is serviceable enough. Thankfully uncharted 4 still had amazing gameplay because the story was not great. Last of Us 2 has neither going for it.

And then of course the old stuff like crash bandicoot and jak and daxter is great too.

@ooignignoktoo @djsumdog @merchantHelios @berkberkman @coolboymew I have an i5 10600k which is great for most games but stuff like cyberpunk it still kind of struggles with. When I do upgrade it'll probably be to 12th Gen since it's the last one that works with ddr4. If the ram prices are still fucked, at least.

@rosey @elftummy it's all about the PS triple baby

@mushroom_soup Godspeed

@lebronjames75 isn't this renegade angel

@ooignignoktoo @djsumdog @xianc78 @merchantHelios @berkberkman @coolboymew Doug is being replaced by a chick who was like, NoA's legal team lead or something along those lines. I'm fully expecting a much more litigious Nintendo.

@flux_the_cat I'll never forgive Neil for what he did to the last of us, uncharted, and naughty dog

@ooignignoktoo @djsumdog @merchantHelios @berkberkman @coolboymew I still have a scuffed as fuck 2080ti, and I only play at 1080p for the most part. There are some games I do really need a cpu upgrade for but yeah for the most part I'm still good playing at high graphics even without dlss.

@xianc78 @djsumdog @merchantHelios @berkberkman @coolboymew @ooignignoktoo that's not what the meme is lol, you buy a high end pc but then only play Minecraft because that's what you really like to play above all else. For me it used to be only playing games on dolphin lmao. Minecraft could run on library computers from 2012, but it doesn't exactly have great scaling because Java sucks. Bedrock is coded in I believe c++ and is way more performant, it just sucks because it is way more locked down. Thankfully mods help out the performance and visuals on Java a lot.

Also Unity doesn't actually have that many issues tbh, as long as the dev knows what they are doing the games run pretty well. Unreal has some pretty deep-seated issues with the engine itself that you can actually work around, but it takes a lot of effort.

I think if someone is making a 2D game they should probably just stick to Godot though. Even for simplistic 3D games. If you're trying to do anything seriously crazy though, pretty much your only two options are Unreal and Unity and Unreal is kind of easier at this point, imo.

2025 had some kind of shitty things happen, but for the most part I feel like it was a pretty good year. Played a lot of good games, started learning Japanese, and started going to the gym pretty consistently! I also got to go to some awesome concerts in Babymetal and Distant Worlds, got some michelin ramen straight from Japan, and I've had a pretty good time playing the Switch 2.

And how could I forget... I FINALLY released my game I've been working on for nearly a decade, God's Disdain! It hasn't quite hit the amount of people I would have liked to play it, but there have been so many good games this year I honestly don't blame anyone for not playing it. I'm honestly just glad I got it released, it was a huge undertaking and I'm really proud of it.

I feel like 2025 was part 1 of this upcoming year. Some things might get a little worse, but I think I'll be improving myself even more and hopefully having more cool experiences. I'm hoping I'll even move to a different career and actually really start working towards something better for myself.

30 is looking to be good in 2026. I'm excited. I hope you guys are too! Let's make it a good year.
