Finally 🥲 Ya know, I haven't heard a single person mention Wind Waker - but plenty of talk about how the launch lineup has Mario Kart and not much else... maybe that sort of thing is why Nintendo hasn't released WW/TP Remasters.

Watch out, Before Sunset - The Princess Bride wants to challenge you for 'most acclaimed classic that didn't work for me at allllll.' Pattinson was great in Mickey 17.

Another day, another Seattle game dev studio closed. I've been thinking about working toward getting to partner with studios on dev documentaries, but it's becoming apparent that maybe the worthwhile video would shine the spotlight on the talented people who have been terminated.

When you're at a point where there's just no way your action game based on a world-famous billion-dollar box office super hero character can realistically be financially viable you have to ask what the games industry is doing, man.

.....not much to say about April......

What's a line delivery you think about a lot?

Conclave was nearing the top of my Watchlist, but... yeah, no. Why do these fucks sign up to pay and spend time with domestic abusers?

Blue Prince is great, thoroughly enjoyed it. Wanted to move onto Exp. 33, so I put BP down after rolling credits. Looked up solutions to a couple BP puzzles that I was working on before the end, and holy hell - they were so goddamn obtuse. If I put a score on the game, the obtuseness costs points.

Finally 😭

Sooooooooooo about Before Sunset...

Waiting for breakfast.

There's no English print of Aoashi, what the fuuuuuuuuuck.

Fiancée got us watching a lot of Smosh stuff lately. That one Shayne Guesses episode made me want to try doing this... my top three favorite games: (click to expand?)

Sucks that his separation anxiety is flaring up, but he's also been more cuddly than before the move, so that's nice.

We might all be dead by the time Feb 2026 comes around, but fingers crossed I actually get to go to this.

First few dog walks since moving back to Redmond have been nice.

Went no contact with my parents & sister in January. Finally got something from them by way of USPS. Could have been a "hey guess we were being cunts, huh? no more supporting the racists, homophobes, and fascists for us." But no, it was a 'save the date' for my sister's wedding.

I've always seen the "old, retired people have nothing else going on so they're all basically really active swingers" trope in pop culture. I think some GTA writers named this one.

Holy shit, it's February?!?

I want the new 3D Mario game to be like Uncharted 4. I want Mario to sit down in front of a TV, playing Wind Waker. I want to play Wind Waker on my Switch.

If you see this, post a gif from one of your comfort shows.

Gonna disregard my Spotify Wrapped 2025, Jennie's got 'most played' in the bag already.

Is this like when scientists build simulated Mars habitats on Earth to train astronauts for future missions? MoviePass popped-up this cookie cutter community in the AZ desert and rounded up their subscribers to study them, preparing for the possibility that "let's go to the movies" ever comes back?

Trying to watch at least one movie a week that is new to either me and/or my fiancée. It's been a big ol' mixed bag of enjoyment so far.

Long dev cycles and cancelled projects have people observing that PlayStation's release calendar is pretty barren. Will Sony now jump to make and ship a few smaller scale games, thereby accidentally discovering an economical and worker-friendly dev cycle that should have been installed years ago?

It's funny how I can bounce off a game, not really care for it the first time, and then later give it another chance and it'll join the ranks of stuff I would get a tattoo of.

I really hope the Dark/Light cards come to Pokemon TCG Pocket 🖤

I got as far as testing for a job at Naughty Dog in January 2023. There have now been three rounds of layoffs and at least one game cancellation since that January. The pre-interview questionnaire asked if I was willing to relocate. The games industry can be a wild place, man.

It's stunning 😍

had my parents ship my old pokemon cards to me - wanting to frame some to display in my office. flipped through them all a couple times... I don't have an Arcanine? wtf??? (I can pretty clearly picture the OG card art, so I must have had it, but... where has it gone?)
