The most satisfying Chubs & Nubs combo to pull off in Mewgenics

Mewgenics referencing "the hole" from Junji Ito’s The Enigma of Amigara Fault is one of a thousand little details that make it peak.

This was not on my shopping list, but it's the last 3x packs of K-Pop Demon Hunters noodles

Windows Phone found in the office
I'm tempted to try using it for a bit

TF3 was not on my 2026 Bingo card

You still have time to pre-order Songs of Silence for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

As Queen Lorelai you must defeat the ever-encroaching forces of The Silence.

Pre-order before Feb 1!

24 hours a year ago, huh
Let's see what I missed

Kicking off work in 2026

Trying out Rebelle and oh wow. Finally a drawing software that actually tries to mimic traditional art and color pigments.
Also a color picker that has OPACITY SENCETIVITY? AND I CAN LITERALLY MIX COLORS WITH IT? I am absolutely in love.

Some COFFIN aircraft should already be in testing by then, so we can expect Strangereal-flavored sci-fi for sure :)

There are some speculations that this might be Dison in the trailer, and he was already an ace by 2026

Regardless, there's a high chance we'll meet him again soon, even if only as a cameo (as it was in Ace Combat: Joint Assault)

One of the most charming antagonists tho
Abyssal Dision is my second favorite
Matias Torres third

[Don't stick crazy in the plane]

You got it, Buddy

J35J Draken is my favorite starter plane in AC Zero
But I can't unsee this while replaying the game in 2025

Ace Combat Zero was really hammering down that "war crimes" option to score more credits.

<1% almost on everything, huh
I've had a great time with every single one!

I sometimes regret not being able to stick to a single game for a long time, but it comes with some perks, like always trying something new.

2025 was a good year for gaming on Steam
I wish I could play more of them!

BALL x PIT — done
Ballbylon has risen

Watching Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery tonight. So far, the best iteration of the three.

AIN поспілкувався зі старшим стратегом ігрового бізнесу студії Борисом Трєніним про те, як локалізація вплинула на продажі після того як Songs of Silence увійшла до топів Steam.

yes

Rated it A for the first time, really good one, especially for me as a lifelong fan of Ace Combat

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE COMBAT 8

I'm here to lose out on sleep and watch The Game Awards
And I'm all out of sleep
