I am now also excited for the next Fire Emblem game, since it seems to be connected to Three Houses in some way.

I watched the anime before I played the mainline games. The first game I bought was Pokemon Silver because the Pokemon 2000 movie made me a huge fan of Lugia. I've played a game from every generation since then. Gen 2 holds a special place in my heart but my favorite generation is 9. Pokemon Sword/Shield are my least favorite but Legends Arceus is really good so I can't write off gen 8.

I loved this game on the Gamecube! As soon as I get a Switch 2 I'm going to play this

Been revisiting Pokemon because of Pokemon FireRed/Leaf Green being released on the eShop. I beat the E4 on LG (Raichu, Venusaur, Ninetales, Slowbro, Sandslash, and Dragonair) and am doing post game stuff. I also started a new file on Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. So far I have three badges. And I'm shiny hunting Lugia in Soul Silver (which is a long term project because shiny odds in older games are 1 in 8164).

I downloaded the demo for the new Tomodachi Life game but I haven't checked it out yet. I really enjoyed the first one, though, so I have a feeling I will like this one as well

I guess I'm just not as surprised since Halo and Gears of War have already been on PC a long time. It wasn't so far a jump for it to hit PS5.

I tried playing Xenoblade when it originally released on the Wii but my main issue was that it was just such a big game that I probably got decision paralysis and couldn't decide what to do. Also, the battle system was a little wonky, and the voice acting was not great. For the story parts it was fine but they kept doing the same quips over and over in battle and it was annoying.

My favorite memories are mostly Halo related. LAN parties for Halo and Halo 2 especially. Playing through Halo 3 with a ton of people. Midnight releases for Halo and Gears of War games.

I'll never forget playing Dead or Alive 4 and here's this like super Japanese game and the end song is Aerosmith?? Loved that. DoA Volleyball had surprisingly fun volleyball.

Crackdown and Bulletstorm being a bonus for preordering something else and turning out to be amazing games on their own.

Oblivion and Skyrim are still games I think about to this day as well.

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Pokémon Pokopia

I desperately want this game but I do not have a Switch 2. I plan on getting both the system and Pokopia once I finish paying off a medical bill.

For now I am living vicariously by watching my favorite streamers play it. The gameplay loop looks like a lot of fun, and it has a surprising amount of Pokemon.

If you want to see how it plays, I have two main recommendations; if you want to watch someone who has never liked "cozy" games and is newish to Pokemon, check out Jahara Jayde. If you want to watch a long time Pokemon fan, Shenpai or Vulpixie have fun videos.

I was listening to Chappelle Roan most recently. I like how she goes from kind of 80s sounding pop (Hot-to-go) to modern pop (Subway).

Late to this, but for Christmas I treated myself to a proper gaming chair for my bedroom when I'm PC gaming. My old chair was great but didn't have the headrest so my neck would get sore. Now I don't have to worry about that.
