Starting Lost Records: Bloom and Rage thanks to your post alerting us that it is leaving Extra next month. Just wish it had more licensed music from the period like the upcoming Mixtape.

@trev666 @REALAIS Come on guys. Certainly you know by now that @Czar_Khastik is always being, well…

“Maidenless”. Hysterical.

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart

Moldy Peaches. Anyone?

Great. Another annual sports game shortly before the new iteration releases.

My subscription to PS Plus ends in four days and I was never offered the discount to renew (neither in the Black Friday sale, the New Year sale nor the more recent sale) and I refuse to renew without the discount, so I am trying to finish Thank Goodness You’re Here before I lose access. I am a bit frustrated though because I didn’t slap a mole in a dirt bed near the start of the game so now I am unable to get a trophy at the end and I don’t know if I will have enough time to replay it. Looks like I’m going to be one trophy shy of the platinum. Game was quite enjoyable otherwise.

69% want to retain them as they were.

I bought Jazzpunk for four dollars in the current indie sale because of your last Going Platinum article. Cheers.

Terrible? At least they didn’t vote abysmal.

Is this as good as the recent Streets of Rage and TMNT releases? I enjoyed playing those co-op with my son.

I remember this game came on four discs for the PS1.

Had Neva in my cart to buy in the current sale. Thanks guys for saving me a tenner.

Why would they release it this year if the last game sold five million more copies in the last three months? Think they will want to keep tugging on that cow while it still has milk.

@Rich33 Don’t forget No Man’s Sky.

I think the color palette needs a little more brown.

@Mintie Do the pots? Is that British slang for something?

@Cambrius Dude, your Fear and Loathing Winnie the Pooh profile pic is excellent.

However, it did have Black Ops 6 at number ten to help it along.

I thought the Prince of Persia game was ready to be shadow dropped. Crazy.

@HRdepartment Hysterical.

PS4 sold almost as many as the Series X.

I am sorry but Sophie Turner cannot act.

I’m glad that some of the game will be outside of the bureau. That was the one big drawback for me in Control - the environments got boring after a while.

What a way to start the year.

Ooof! That’s bad.

Always wondered if Peep Show was popular in the UK or more of a cult thing. Show is hilarious and endlessly quotable (plus Olivia Coleman 😊). People like Coldplay and voting for Nazis, you can’t trust people.

Happy New Year everyone. Sammy and the team are great, but it is the community that keeps me coming back. Here is to more in 2026. Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.

So you’re telling me that a Sonic racing game is better than Silksong (assuming Silksong is the game that misses out in the last four spots)? Suddenly IGN doesn’t look so bad.

I feel like that first question could have been Kingdom Come or Elder Scrolls.

Merry Christmas! Hope Santa was good to everyone. You guys deserve it….well, most of you do.

No Blue Prince? How disappointing.

It is a shame that Expedition 33 was ever even nominated in this category, especially considering the number of nods that it got overall. It took a space (and a win) from other truly independent games that could have used the recognition and spotlight. Remember how Balatro’s sales exploded after it won best indie game?

Nice to see Yotei still getting sales.

@BearsEatBeets Which studio is it? I couldn’t figure it out. Maybe I’m focusing too much on what I thought was a spaceship cookie on the bottom.

I wish the Ghost of Yotei Christmas tree ornaments were real.

I feel that GTA6 shouldn’t even be on this list because if the inevitable one last delay.

Hard to believe that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii released this year. Seems like an eternity ago.

Atlantis seems appropriate in this context. There cannot be any backlash about cultural appropriation of artifacts if said artifacts are from a mythical civilization.

11-11 has a unique art style. It’s like an impressionist water color come to life.

@11001100110zero I was referring to OpenAI, the Sam Altman company headquartered in San Francisco. On October 1, they signed two simultaneous deals with Samsung and SK Hynix (neither of which knew the other deal existed) swallowing up forty percent of the global supply of DRAM. This, to me, seems like the kind of thing that antitrust laws were made to prevent. Government oversight should be able to prohibit a single American company (which OpenAI is) from gaining this type of competitive advantage in the marketplace.

I am afraid that the OpenAI deal to tie up forty percent of the world’s DRAM supply is going to greatly affect the price of the PS6.
I honestly do not see how that is legal and why the media is not giving more attention to the story. During the pandemic, when there was a shortage of computer chips, there were articles everywhere. And this is different than GPU prices during the height of crypto mining. That was individuals buying up all the cards for their mining rigs. This is one company responsible for the supply constraints. Certainly there must be some anti-monopoly legislation or government oversight that could prevent a single company from controlling that much of the supply chain.

Too big to fail?

@PuppetMaster Ageist much?

@sanderson72 The Japanese language only model doesn’t cost less to manufacture. Actually, Sony is probably selling it at a loss to carve back market share in Japan. The point of it being Japanese language only is to prevent scalpers from reselling the cheaper model in other territories.

@LazyDaisy Valve sells a Steam Deck Docking Station.

@PuppetMaster Because 51 is so old.
Btw, Daniel Craig was 51 when he played 007 in the last Bond film. Tom Cruise is 63, and he’s still running.

I just do not understand how anyone could complain about this month’s selection. Several games that I want to play but didn’t want to spend the money on, and the one that I did, Still Wakes the Deep, is fantastic.

Anyone looking for another Silk Song fix should check out Afterimage. It’ is a gorgeous hand drawn metroidvania with tight controls, and it is on sale for a fiver in the store (80% off). I actually liked it more than Nine Sols, even if it didn’t get the same attention.

A shame this feature is locked behind Premium.

Lucky Insomniac.
