I’m now @Pocketlint’s Editor In Chief 🫡.

I’m low-key hoping Kingdom Come: Deliverance II magically comes to Game Pass or becomes a Play Anywhere title. I really want to get back into the game now that I have a powerful gaming PC, but I wouldn’t have access to my save file since I have the Xbox version.

I need the Lego Game Boy. The set actually looks way better than I expected. The level of detail is wild. lego.com/en-us/aboutus/…

Okay, digging for collectibles in Donkey Kong Bananza is pretty satisfying. I just spent the last hour hunting down fossils.

I'm a few hours in now and I still don't see the magic in Donkey Kong Bananza... It's good, but aside from the voxel digging, everything else feels generic. Maybe I just don't yearn for the mines.

Donkey Kong Bananza is great and the voxel tech is very impressive. On the other hand, the controls feel a bit odd and the camera is wonky sometimes. I’m only a few hours in, but I’m not totally blown away yet.

Brother Day in Season 3 of The Foundation is The Guy™. His fuck the world attitude is appropriate for our current era.

In my latest story for Expansion Pak, I explain why Death Stranding 2 is my go-to "cozy game." There's just something incredibly chill about planning a delivery and then executing it with all the right tools. expansionpak.substack.com/p/death-strand…

I’m a few months late on this one, but I’m finally switching to the Moto Razr Ultra as my main phone for a story I’m working on. Man is this thing full of pre-installed bloatware.

During a sad moment in the ending of Super Mario Sunshine, Bowser appears to have a tear in his eye. However, this is actually a hole in his eye through which the sky is visible. As such, it is merely a serendipitous error that coincidentally fits the mood of the scene.

I am weak. I said I wouldn’t do it, but I bought Donkey Kong Bananza 🥲. The reviews convinced me.

This is a great look at the wild world of third-party Switch 2 docks (basically, there isn’t one worth buying yet). probably.ninja/ramblings/swit…

POV: it's 2007 and you're watching a YouTube video about the Xbox 720 and Wii 2

I’m running again for the first time in years (I hate it). The Powerbeats Pro 2 are great, though. They fit perfectly in my ears and the on-earbud buttons are really easy to figure out.

The very literal character names in Hideo Kojima games always make me lol. How is this character in Death Stranding 2 actually named Rainy 🌧️.
