sadly nothing for tabletop - i haven't been in the scene for a few years now - and as far as videogames go i really haven't played a lot of stuff since 2024. 2025 was kind of just... filling time i think.

that said i have a few recommends that still stand out to me.
tiny glade for relaxing and hitting the spore civilisation stage building designer brain.
birdcage, from POLYGON BIRD is super sick. i kind of suck ass at it but still slick and fun.
i enjoyed metal eden's demo enough to get the full game. need to go back to it.
SPRAWL was a decent boomer shooter with a good soundtrack and SPRAWL ZERO has been getting rave reviews after the demo so i'll say to keep an eye out for when it releases.
PEGLIN. so fun. so addictive. got an update not too long back that added a super-endgame boss to make crazy builds worth it. big love to peglin.
bloober team killed it with cronos: the new dawn. i won't stop simping for that game. my brother won't stop recommending look outside to me so i'll forward that because he says it's really good. lorn's lure was interesting if you can deal with platforming and hyperstructures, but it gave me vertigo so i didn't finish it.
