- I cannot express how much I miss when Nintendo made small, *lightweight* handhelds I love the Switch but I play it docked 95% of the time These heavy tablet-with-controllers-on-the-side devices (Switch/Steam Deck) put so much strain on my wrists without balancing it on a cushion or something
- I don’t think there’s many better feelings than freshly washed bedsheets
- This is so fascinating - it seems like the original direction was more horror-focused rather than horror-adjacent. I adore the puzzle emphasis in the finished game but I the original idea looks incredibly interesting also
- We just uploaded this Lorelei and the Laser Eyes trailer, that we made for internal use in 2020. It features 100% unseen and cut content. The game drastically changed direction after this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6xM...
- Crow Country S+ rank achieved 🙌 wonderful spooky-but-not-too-scary survival horror game 🕸️🖤
- raspberries are so good, I’ll take it it’s also pretty accurate poomang.com/en/t/myfruit...
- PS4 generation games don’t need remakes Ports with higher frame rates, sure, but I feel like remakes are just unnecessary - I can’t tell which one is the original and which is the remake sometimes
- hahahaha
- It looks absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to play this
- we schmovin' area visuals are WIP (so much so that I forgot to turn off the sun inside the cave, oops) game: ABYSS X ZERO 👇 #gamedev #indiegame #lowpoly #axz
- Resident Evil Requiem looks SO good Horror aspects of RE2 combined with action-focused RE4 but with improved combat It sounds and looks perfect 🥹
- I would like to play this very much store.steampowered.com/app/2768420/...
- Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers
- Pokémon Violet was 2022 ??? Time isn’t real
- Xbox controller is just so comfy Either my hands fit it perfectly or my hands have moulded to it over the past 15 years. Probably the latter
- I play almost all indies on PC so this isn’t exactly indicative of my gaming last year as a whole, but here are my Nintendo Year in Review stats for 2025! 🩵

- Disappointed they didn’t include all 1,025 Pokémon for this price
- old #promosky was outdated so here’s a new one for 2026! hello!! I’m Ben - I write about indie games (and play way too many of them) 🌸 other things I like: - cute stuff - nintendo - gothic books/art - survival horror - retro games - puzzles! - forests - alt/metal music likes/reposts appreciated 🩵
- Introduce yourself with 4 indie games (The House in Fata Morgana & 1000xRESIST may well have been in mine but I’ve included some others for variety sake!)

- My gaming backlog:
- Contemplating adding a sensor to my tiny hallway that automatically plays Wii Shop Channel music whenever anyone is in it
- Something about media that takes cute characters, animals or wholesome visuals and adds gore or brutal violence makes my blood boil Especially when it’s marketed as just a cute cosy time and you’re not expecting it. Makes me roll my eyes and I’ll return/refund it if I can
- A new Castlevania game would make me squeal
- Which game are you playing first this year?
- Happy new year everyone!! 🩵
- Fireworks are loud
- It is done!! I always put so much effort into these every year, any engagement is hugely appreciated. This is the biggest end of year video I’ve made yet by far haha whoops, too many great games youtu.be/j-GFbqo8jpU?...
- Compiling all of my favourite games I’ve played over the year into one video is honestly my favourite part of the end-of-year game discussions, I always have such a great time doing this
- The choice at the end of Clair Obscur was probably the most difficult choice I’ve ever had to make in a video game Crazy stuff

- Just finished Metroid Prime 4 hmmmmmmmm First half of the game was amazing and the second half was not. The final boss also felt like a massive difficulty spike Glad I played it and I enjoyed the first half immensely, but the second half definitely needed a bit more thought/time in my opinion
- Chikorita says Merry Christmas
- The best team 🩵
