A real minor character in Mixtape has such an uncanny resemblance to my one cousin. I sent him a screenshot before I noticed his profile picture, and now I can't stop giggling 🤣

It's literally the same person, and you can't tell me otherwise!

... excuse me?

May I one day have the confidence to name my PB runs the way Sabastian titled his record-breaking marathon on @Strava 😂😂😂

I playing at launch in 2010 and bounced after 10 hours.

I picked it up again in 2016 and bounced after 20 hours.

Last night, 16 years after launch and 40 hours later, I finished Final Fantasy XIII 😭

It's flawed, but I'm so glad I finally gave it my full attention!

Cairn tasks players with summiting the formidable, albeit fictional Kami, while scavenging and managing resources to keep hunger, thirst, and warmth satisfied throughout the perilous journey. It’s an arguably hard sell to typical gamers, but I absolutely loved it!

Are you up for the challenge?

Climbing adventure Cairn from @TheGameBakers combines gruelling gameplay with moments of quiet beauty and powerful introspection.

Our review of this journey well worth tackling.

This week on Checkpoint Chat, we do a fair bit of brutal running in Marathon, fall in love with Pokémon Pokopia, and juggle two good games in Resident Evil Requiem!

It's tough out there for fighting games 🥲

[Matthew "HairyKnees" Fig @MatthewFig]

I've been listening to this 9+ hours of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth goodness over the last few days, and I wish I had a casual 100+ hours to spare so I could enjoy this whole journey all over again 🥹

I picked up The Rogue Prince of Persia again after playing it a bunch last year and hell, what a damn fine roguelite with fantastic platforming sprinkled in!

Please don't sleep on this gem 🥹

First post of 2026 and I'm here to tell you that I've played way too much ARC Raiders over the last few weeks, and that I'm hopelessly addicted.

... yes, even after that one dude murdered me at extract after I befriended and protected them for basically the entire run 😤

Things I did not have on today’s bingo card:

- see someone floss on the bus 🦷

Putting a flute into all my loadouts from now on 😂

@ItzCandyRox So bleak, I got my time zone mixed up so my reminder went off an hour too late >_>
