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.

Federation problems aside, can I just say that I love how stable fedi is? I kind of take it for granted sometimes. X will like randomly stop playing videos or there will be posts that just disappear or you'll hit the back button and it refreshes your entire feed. Not to mention the algo slop which was only recently fixed with a timeline mode... Even then, there's no way to turn off reposts without an extension and that messes up stuff too.

So thanks all of you fedi devs and admins.

second interview was with the manager and the co-owners, and i think it went pretty well! fingers crossed man.

Mayu is wearing spats in Fatal Frame 2 Remake. I'm seeing an image of her in this position wearing panties instead but I can't find the source for it, so I'm not sure if it was actually censored or if there was just some sort of error? I can't even find a moment similar to this in the originals. Even the earliest gameplay demos in Japanese look like this. As far as I know you're not ever able to look up her skirt in the PS2/Xbox/Wii versions of the game, but idk maybe I just never tried.

Regardless, if it is censored, I'm sure someone will come around to mod it soon enough.

The console version seems to be locked to 30 FPS and you can't turn off the film grain, which looks really shitty in certain spots. Even the PC version is locked to 60 FPS which... just... why? It actually runs really well and didn't hitch or stutter at all in the demo, it seems well optimized and that makes sense considering all the locations in this game are in really small corridors and rooms. So why keep it locked to 60? Japanese developers never fail to make zero sense with their PC ports.
