The best games of 2025 give a glimpse into a better world — where artists can invite audiences into their memoirs, where AAAs are thematically ambitious and small teams can sculpt epics.

This is also my 100th(!!) proper video on YouTube, a milestone seven years in the making

“The winds diverged here to sweep the land like a whisper, and sometimes like a shatter. To the North the trail led, to the skies that grew with clouds and ominous hush. But beyond that was the reason, the place to lie at journey’s end.”

Peek-a-boo with an octopus and her eggs 🙈

MBARI researchers used ROVs to study pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) mothers nesting near warm seafloor springs. Unlike other deep-sea octopuses, their eggs hatched in under two years. The extra warmth boosted metabolism of the moms and their broods.

On 2 September 1973 J.R.R. #Tolkien died aged 81. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the best-selling book of the 20th Century, and is joined by seminal works The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.

He may have died 52 years ago but his influence and legacy lives on in us all. Namárië. #BookSky

Eärendil the Mage #22: Dagoth-Ur | The Elder Scrolls: Arena on Arch Linux YouTube video by David C. Drake

TES III: Morrowind is my favorite game, so it's fun to see how Dagoth-Ur and the rest of Morrowind were presented in 1994 by the first #ElderScrolls game: Arena! 🌋 I also enjoyed dropping audio "Easter eggs" here and there throughout this video. 😁
