It's called Pots and Pans, and here's the link:https://potsandpansblog.blogspot.com/

It's currently in it's very early stages, so it doesn't look very good, but it will improve with time.

Companies should post their games' soundtracks to streaming. Some have, but most should. Especially Nintendo. Yeah they have Nintendo Music, but they are missing so many tracks, and focusing too heavily on the Switch 1 and 2. Not everyone wants to use Nintendo Music, so put them on Spotify.

Preserving a game for future generations is valid. Piracy is not valid, and bootlegging is never valid. Piracy would be distributing games or other media available legally for free. Bootlegging would be charging for pirated content.

I don't care for Pokopia. I haven't played it, but I've never been interested in building games like this. It has some moments, but I just don't care. I'm more excited for Tomodatchi Life: Living the Dream.

Pokemon Legends Z-A is fun. There are some valid criticisms, but most of it is about superficial issues that don't take away from the game. It was another case of grifting for the sake of grifting.

The Switch 2 is pretty great for what it is. Yes it is far too expensive, but it's such an upgrade. I got one for my birthday, replacing my launch Switch 1. Many people bashing it have likely never used one, and are just jumping on the bandwagon because it's trendy to hate on right now.

The whole PC vs console gaming argument is dumb. Both PC and console have their upsides and downsides, and some games are meant specifically for each platform. Hating on one or the other makes you look like an insufferable muppet.

Not all mobile games are soulless cash grabs. Any game on Apple Arcade don't have microtransactions. Payed games like Animal Crossing Pocket Camp complete are pretty fun. And if you do like some freemium game, that's not a bad thing. Just understand these tactics, and don't spend too much.

Digital and physical versions both have their benefits. Keep in mind that most physical games still rely on servers for updates and DRM, so if the servers go down, that card or disk is now useless. Depends on the game. Use what you prefer and have access to.

Preordering a game is almost never worth it. Many games ship broken and unfinished, and typically are available on day 1. Plus, digital copies don't have inventories. If it comes with some sort of bonus maybe, but that's getting rarer and rarer.

I am not looking forward to GTA6. I just don't care. It is nice that a 6th one is getting made finally, but I just have zero interest in GTA.

I would much rather play a unique game with some jank over a perfectly polished but boring game. The most important aspect of a game is that it's fun. If it isn't fun, it isn't worth playing.

Licensed games aren't always bad. Technically Kingdom Hearts is a licensed game, and it rocks. Simpsons Hit and Run, Family Guy the Video Game, Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom, and more are really fun games.

Just because a game is girly doesn't mean it's shovelware. Style Savvy is a prime example of this. Granted this one isn't as widely believed anymore, but I still do see this in some circles.

FNF was a fun game ruined by a terrible fanbase. I hopped on the hype train around December 2020, and really enjoyed it. I played a few of the mods, and listen to the soundtracks. But since the fanbase became so toxic and spiteful, I hesitate to call myself a fan.

Horror is way too oversaturated currently. Thanks to the popularity of FNAF, just about every game that gets any sort of attention is some jumpscare horror game. They blend in and just become the same game with a different skin.

Shooters, racers, sports games, and fighters are the most overrated genres. They are super repetitive and just generic. On ya if you like these games. They just aren't for me. Open World just squeaks by on the fact that dicking around in these worlds is sometimes fun. Same with cozy games.

I am so sick of Persona. Now, I've never actually played any of them, but it seems like Atlus is milking this series to hell and back. This has caused them to neglect their other franchise. We also don't need the billionth port of Persona 5. Port Trauma Center to PCs at least!

Just about every game released on the 5th generation consoles are so dated that they are hard to recommend. As boundary pushing as Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 were, they are plagued with poor cameras and loose controls. For anyone who didn't grow up with these games, I don't recommend them.

The majority of well regarded popular games aren't all that great. These include Breath of the Wild, Skyrim, GTA5, Minecraft, and more. I can see the appeal, but I personally find many of these to be super boring.

These are a bit too much fun to make, so here's some gaming ones

Yes I meant BSD. Acronyms confuse my brain sometimes.

Windows, MacOS and Linux, Haiku/BSOD, and ChromeOS all have their uses. Again, just use whatever works best for your needs, and stop shaming people for their OSes. C'mon, we're better than this.

The argument between IOS and Android is dumb as rocks. As someone who has experience daily driving both, they both have their benefits and drawbacks. Just use whatever fits your needs and budget best.

Framework is a neat idea, but is far too expensive and really isn't as repairable as you'd think. The bare bones parts are far too expensive, require some knowledge on computers, and use adhesives that need to be removed with heat.

Microsoft Bob had potential. MS Bob was a shell that was placed over Windows released in 1995. The program attempted to make using your computer easier to use. It was hated for its buggy performance, childish appearance, and price. The idea could work today as a safe and customizable place.

There's so much more than social media. Granted if you're reading this you probably already know that, but there are some pretty fun sites, you just need to find them. Try Neocities or even the useless web.

Kids and teens should have access to tech, but in a limited capacity. No 8 year old needs a social media account, but to fully block them off from tech until 18 is also a bad idea. Introduce them to tech early, and let them prove themselves before getting a phone or tablet.

Don't always blame the tech. Smartphones, for example, aren't necessary the issue. It's companies who make their apps as addicting as possible. Having a supercomputer in your pocket isn't helping, but certain apps are specifically designed to hack your brain.

Be careful with physical media. Disk rot, damaged tape, scratched vinyls, dead/bloated batteries, dead hard drives, worn down needles and more can occur with physical media and the devices needed to use them. Just know what you're getting yourself into and test your equipment.
