While Letterboxd seems to be the popular option for logging and reviewing movies, there doesn't seem to be a consensus option for video games. In the past I've used Backloggery, Grouvee, and Playfire (RIP), but dropped those years ago.
So, what does everyone on the fediverse use for logging/reviewing video games?
I fell all the way back in love with XCOM 2 on last night's stream. Do you have any top XCOM tips?
I always colour code soldiers. Red for Rangers, Blue for Specialists, Yellow for Grenadiers, White for Sharpshooters (to easily see how abilities can be used on the battlefield).
Afternoon Folks. I have no clue why I have been struggling to get a blog post out in the mornings lately.
Anyway... last night I managed to snag a Siege of Orgrimmar and Throne of Thunder group and am the proud owner of a shiny necklace slot. I also talk a bit about how grouping has gone in general and how I would love for this recent foray into building groups to extend into other games.
With the Japanese version of Magia Record shutting down at the end of July, here is my editorial I wrote a few years back on the gripes of Gacha/Live services games.

“The kid lost his mind: ‘You’re the guy from Guitar Hero! Do you play real guitar too?’”: how a 2000s video game phenomenon made Slash famous all over again
Guitar Hero was a worldwide smash hit – and it introduced Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash to a whole new audience
Today’s #throwbackthursday is this simple animated NiGHTs chao that I did sometime in mid-2009. All of the frames were drawn in MS Paint, and I used a website to animate it, don’t remember the name of it right now. My chao anatomy went through a weird phase during that time.
New experiments with Unreal Engine 5, Niagara. A prototype of a magnetic device for collecting various bio material. I have a lot of gameplay ideas where it can be used and how: plants, insects, crafting, fuel or things to scare away creatures... Maybe you will have ideas too?
Anyone who is reading this plays #Linux games on their TV in the living room? What's your setup? Do you just have #SteamDeck hooked-up with a dock or do you use Steam Link software on your TV to stream #VideoGames from your gaming PC or do you have a "Steam Machine" type of a dedicated device just for TV #gaming? I wish to hear about it.
This could and should have been a great moment in League history.
Instead Riot decided to monetize the shit out of it.
I ain't paying over 400 € for a bundle that shouldn't have been more than a hundred bucks.
This is insanity.
In other news, I gotta admit that I didn't think I'd like the new Rainbow Six Siege subscription Ubisoft announced.
Sure it's not a 100% cool and I am not the biggest fan of subscriptions..
BUT it's actually a worthy successor to the year pass I've missed so much, this year.
Plus it's actually worth the money, if you know you'll buy the battle passes, anyway.
At least if you pay the reduced price per year.
