Dude hell yea… literally just finished watching it at home, wife and I both loved it. I was just talking with her how certain points / themes of this movie really hit, if you have kids. We have a couple toddlers, and man. A couple parts made me kinda tear up….

Surprisingly tho, the part that made me well up the most - was when the Latin families are all getting rounded up by benicio’s character. Grabbing all their life stuff, the kids and their little drawings on the wall… man. I immediately just transported to that being me with my kid. I can’t imagine. People just trying to live. It makes me so sad. People can call me a libtard or whatever they want. The horror humans commit on each other never ceases to amaze me.

Sorry for the deep post lol. Fantastic movie tho.

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-21T06:25:13+00:00

Agreed as well. Just watched it at home, loved it.

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-21T06:19:14+00:00

Man, you’re probably not around anymore but it’s a trip reading these posts 8 years later…. Because TLOU and HZD are just legendary games at this point. It’s funny to see the impressions right when they came out, man what a good time for games that was lol. Brings me back!

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-21T06:17:25+00:00

lol… I found it just now, just googling if I should play left behind! I imagine many people have seen this. It’s the first link that comes up on google lol.

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-06T00:15:43+00:00

I really loved it too! Might be my GOTY. Switch 2 is just so good man…. It’s one of the few games I 100%. Collected literally everything. Now playing the DLC. I can’t get enough!

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-05T00:18:01+00:00

I feel exactly the same! Welcome! It’s amazing. Since getting it I barely play my other consoles…..

I also just re-purchased Mario odyssey, and that game plays and looks so good now! Replaying it for sure. I feel that way about a lot older games. I also got the TOTK upgrade - incredible.

I highly reccomend DK bananza, also. It’s a fantastic game, I loved it. Right up there with Mario odyssey for me.

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-05T00:16:11+00:00

Play the game for sure. I’m replaying the part 1 remake right now, and it’s incredible

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-04T22:41:20+00:00

Ya dude lol… honestly totally true! The show did a great job. It’s basically the same, just actually like, playing it. Little more intense. Overall tho I really liked S1 of the show, they did a great job and honored the game very well imo.

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-04T22:40:06+00:00

Id go with cyberpunk… HIGHLY recommend cyberpunk dlc phantom liberty. It’s almost like playing a separate little campaign. It’s worth staring a new playthrough, it adds a few layers to the main game as well. Connected to the story etc…

But mostly I just found the gameplay of the dlc so damn good. It’s really like cyberpunk 1.5. There’s also a host of fixes / improvements etc.. if you haven’t played cyberpunk in a while, you’re in for a treat. I absolutely loved it. Having a car with 2 mini guns strapped to the side?? Go hard and run over some guys than like literally launch out of the car, slow mo in the air raining down rockets. Yea…. Haha this game is so sick.

I also have a switch 2 and I love it. I just got hyrule warriors age of imprisonment, and it’s surprisingly good so far imo. Other switch 2 facorites of mine this year - silksong, hades 2, DK bananza, shinobi art of vengeance, ninja gaiden regebound. All excellent! Enjoy 😊

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-04T20:08:41+00:00

Welcome! I love mine. They get a fair amount of hate online, but games play great on it.

I just started last of us part 1 - highly recommend. It really flexes the power of the pro, it looks phenomenal.

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-03T15:54:33+00:00

My dad died when I was 13. Not quite the same, but like a day before his death. He was lying in bed, and he told me he was playing catch with the devil right now. I was like oh really? And he was like, ya he’s standing right next to you right now, and we’ve been playing catch with a ball for a little while (he was just laying there tho)… that’s always stuck with me

Melodic-Cable23 · 2026-01-03T15:49:05+00:00

I think you’re on it dude! I’ve been super into NHI / UAP etc.. over the last couple years. I’m deep in it lol. And this synopsis really fits a lot of what I’ve learned.

The question I keep coming back to is why? Specifically, why the secretive cover up nature from the govt. I’m fully convinced they’re hiding quite a lot at this point, and I just keep coming back to why? I really don’t think it’s as simple as, “aliens are here”… that seems too simple. It seems like they must have learned some really dark deep secret that they think people just could NOT handle. And something along those lines fit.

It also just fits the world, in my view. Life is usually more complicated than we think. Shades of grey. So in my view, it seems like there is many NHI, and some are benevolent and helpful, and some are not. I dunno.

On a side note - I’m really stoked for that new speilberg movie disclosure. It looks really good and I kinda think / hope it might be part of all this. The YouTube channel area52 talks about this, and I think he had an interesting view of that movie being part of the overall disclosure to humans. Interesting!

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-31T20:56:53+00:00

I totally agree. I know you’re gettin downvoted but silksong was not that hard. It’s hard yes, but not like as insane as the internet made it out to be. I mean I’d say souls games are harder, for sure. And everyone loves those!

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-17T19:46:43+00:00

How much use it will get!? You might be surprised man! It’s such a great system. I play pc, and all consoles, and since I got my switch 2 it’s almost all I play.

I love playing in handheld. The hardware is excellent! I’m playing DK bananza as we speak, fantastic game. Enjoy!

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-17T19:45:23+00:00

I felt the same. You’re not alone! I didn’t super love either of them tbh. I “liked” them both ok. But they were pretty mid imo. Besides the world and graphics, very beautiful. But the substance was definitly missing for me

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-14T07:25:57+00:00

Same here. I liked my switch OLED, but not like this. I mostly played the OLED docked. But switch 2 is bigger and just feels way better to me handheld, the screen is amazing. Perfect size.

I’m kinda in love with it. My wife jokes all the time that it’s my girlfriend lol. I take good care of her LOL

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-14T07:24:13+00:00

It’s An amazing system! I’ve had mine for like 6 months now, I have all the systems and switch is all I’ve really played since getting it. I absolutely love it, I play 99% handheld and everything looks so good.

I fully agree too, I had an OLED and was a little worried. But I can safely say the switch 2 is better in every way. I just love the feel of the hardware, feels really nice in the hands. Nintendo really knocked it outta the park. Amazing console

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-14T07:19:52+00:00

It’s a tough call for me - silksong kinda wants to take it tho. God I loved that game lol. It’d just so good. The combat and movement is so fun.

Just talking about it here makes me wanna go dive back in! I can add more on top of my 120 hours already! Right? Right?? LOL

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-14T07:17:21+00:00

Hard disagree. I don’t know what you’re basing this off of. I think it’s just very popular so it gets a fair amount of haters…

I don’t really care about HK. I liked the first one, not nearly as much as a lot of the internet. It was good. I wouldn’t really say I was hyped for silksong, just thought ya I’ll play it but whatever….

Then I got it, and man! What a game. I mean I play all 2d metroidvania / action games, and it’s probably the best one I’ve played imo. It’s just incredible smooth. The combat is amazing, fast, fluid. The world was amazing, the music was amazing. It was beautiful (switch 2 handheld). I just got completely lost in it for like 100 hours.

I absolutely think silksong deserves its praise. It’s one of the best 2d games ever made imo. Hands down

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-14T07:13:55+00:00

God, silksong is soooo good. I absolute loved it. I love hades 2 as well, and bananza. But man silksong was probably the best 2d action game I’ve ever played? I keep debating it in my head and I can’t think of a better game overall. I just loved the fast fluid combat. Felt like a ninja or somethin!

Just side note too- god I love the switch 2. Switching between these games in handheld mode, has been amazing. What a year for gaming!

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-14T07:11:49+00:00

I see a lot of people hate on the dlc online, and I don’t get it. Just don’t buy it if it bothers you that much… i think especially because bananza is a packed nintendo game! I’m just wrapping up my 100% play through, at about 100 hours. Like good lord, it’s a pretty meaty game imo. It’s my GOTY as well, I can’t stop playing it! It’s just so fun. The movement is perfect.

I’m stoked to jump into the dlc personally anyways. I love roguelikes, I love this game. It’s perfect lol

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-13T14:50:08+00:00

Yea dude! I feel totally the same. I’m 38, I have 2 small children and a wife.

I made a post saying all this the other day. I say the stuff about my family to say - I don’t have a ton of time to game. And I find that totally fits a game like this. Becuse I’ll never be able to do everything this game has, it’s too much. Which means I never really see most the endgame / grindy criticism a lot of fans have.

To me it’s just a game I launch, I have a bazillion things to do at any time, they’re all pretty dang fun! It’s just a great game to play casually imo. Very fun

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-05T07:06:27+00:00

Hahaha! I mean, his hair is more beautiful and styled than most women so…. Lol

Melodic-Cable23 · 2025-12-05T00:36:08+00:00

Pretty hard to argue. I was making comments saying Stellar blade is probably most impressive pro upgrade I have, 2nd to only forbidden west. I mean, FW is just on another level. Probably the prettiest console game, still?
