It's been another brutal week for the gaming press, between Videogamer.com posting an AI-generated Resident Evil Requiem review (even if it is kind of funny) and the Eurogamer layoffs. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/games-media-set-for-more-layoffs-as-ign-owned-eurogamer-cuts-editorial-staff/

ICYMI I wrote about why expectations for a NieR follow-up game should be kept low, especially considering what Yoko Taro and crew are now working on, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/02/a-nier-sequel-are-we-sure/

It's nice that Discord is pushing back the age verification thing, even though it shouldn't be happening in the first place. But it's kind of funny that Twitch saw all the smoke they were getting and decided they wanted to huff it. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/panopticon-patch-tuesday-twitch-requires-peter-thiel-funded-persona-id-verification-for-affiliates-to-get-their-first-payouts/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about why expectations should be kept low for a potential new NieR game, especially given the new Evangelion series just announced. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/02/a-nier-sequel-are-we-sure/

ICYMI I wrote about how much of a trip it was to research new Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma, and pondered what happened to former Xbox president Sarah Bond, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/02/cognition-dissemination-researching-microsoft-gamings-new-ceo-is-a-trip/

It's possible I overdid it with the shoveling yesterday, which is what my back told me this morning. I know I'm giving shocking info here, but getting older is not the greatest feeling.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how much of a trip it's been to research new Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma, who has a short-but-incredible history. I also pondered what happened with Sarah Bond, previously in line for the position. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/02/cognition-dissemination-researching-microsoft-gamings-new-ceo-is-a-trip/

No, really, it's great that the FBI director has enough time to go overseas and party. It's not like there are any pressing matters in the country at the moment, like a search for a missing person that's gone on for three weeks now.

ICYMI I wrote about why Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja shouldn't even bother to release Dead or Alive 6: Last Round without including rollback netplay and crossplay for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/02/fighting-games-friday-the-last-round-wont-last/

@silver_huskey I wasn't sweating it yesterday, but the expected snow totals increased this morning. You're probably going to get some great use out of that electric shovel.

The snow from the last storm just largely melted, and you're telling me there's *another* one coming to the East Coast this weekend? Everyone who wanted a real winter season this year is getting their wish, and then some.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about why Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo absolutely should not release Dead or Alive 6: Last Round without two key features that are missing. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/02/fighting-games-friday-the-last-round-wont-last/

@silver_huskey Thanks! It will definitely be a game to revisit down the line, probably to finish some of those tough secret levels.

Wrapped up Super Mario Bros. Wonder today. I'm surprised that it's actually a little easier than New Super Mario Bros. U overall, outside some notorious levels in the Secret World, but this game has a much better presentation and art direction. I had a great time with it.

ICYMI I wrote about how many of us are sleepwalking into a consumer electronics crisis thanks to the memory and storage shortages that are bound to worsen over time for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/02/cognition-dissemination-were-sleepwalking-into-consumer-electronics-armageddon/
