FAST Fusion is pretty fuckin' sweet.

That was a great counter. You must be one genius of a driver. You gotta teach me! That was a great counter. You must be one genius of a driver. You gotta teach me! That was a great counter. You must be one genius of a driver. You gotta teach me! That was a great counter. You must be one genius...

Natwest app is down, so I guess that means I've got enough money to buy Ridge Racer, Kunitsu-Gami, and FAST Fusion. I mean, that's how it works, right?

I'd post a photo of my Switch 2 to say that I bought an item from a big company that specialises in selling items and that another big company delivered it to my house and the only work I put in was clicking on the "pay money" button but it looks like all the others so I won't.

who ever could have seen this coming

After a 38 hour work shift I bought a nice case to go with my Switch 2. ‘Bloody rubbish!’ I exclaimed, as the console wouldn’t fit without removing the Joycons. And lo, I realised it was not a Switch 2 case.

Tired now.

It's weird how many people who took a performative stand about Nintendo's pricing are suddenly really upset that they couldn't just rock up at their local store and get a Switch 2. Is it REALLY taking a stand if you cave at the very next possible opportunity?

Pair of Switch 2's due in a few hours (one for a friend.) Was looking forward to it. Was going to take the day off to play Mario Kart. Instead of that, I'll be sleeping because I'm having to pull an all-nighter for work because Mailgun are a shithouse bunch of fucksticks.

@nickofferman.bsky.social is the absolute best 💜 Be more like him, and less like that weirdo he quoted

Just fixed my electricity meter box with velcro. I'm not classy.

On the train and I’ve heard ‘peak’, ‘GOATED’, ‘lowkey’, and ‘highkey’ in the space of five minutes. Just shut that pie-hole and be quiet already. We already got plenty of words, you clownshoes dipshits.

Upside: Finished my dental treatment plan today. Looks alright. Downside: I’m best part of four grand poorer than I was when I woke up this morning.

Entire opening message about an item from someone I've never spoken to before: "Can I get some pictures of the manual unfolded? Is it ripped?" Didn't reply. Took the item off sale. You can't "get" anything without the magic word. I'm like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld, only with games.

About Kvaradonna and Gonçalo Ramos, I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I am in big trouble.

Well alright. I’m here for it. Especially after Let’s Make A J-League Soccer Club was the first title I imported for the Dreamcast. £50 and I couldn’t read a word of Japanese. It didn’t go well. youtu.be/_6rfDVJydWc

Wow, what an…honour? I finished 15th in cross country in high school. Didn’t get a medal for it. The fact I took a smoke break halfway through probably didn’t help.

It’s super surreal to see US folks suddenly dealing with this nonsense. We’ve been paying 20% (plus charges) to the government on anything from anywhere over £135 since forever. Oh, and now they’re looking at scrapping the £135 limit to make it 20% on everything ever.

After 33 years of people (subconsciously, actively, desperately) wondering where the iconic commentary sample in the Gazzetta Football Italia title music came from....

The question is...do I want to spent £20 on a ticket to get into a convention that's taking place in a hotel, where they haven't announced any attendees a week out from the event, and where their website says they'll have "ORIGARMI classes" and a "Smash Bro's tournament"?

…that disc resurfacing service was a bad idea. A month after discontinuing it, I had one outstanding order where I was waiting for the customer to send the discs. I waited, then refunded last week. Guy has for some reason now found me on eBay to claim I’ve stolen his discs that I’ve never seen.

I get to give someone an actual salaried job today. I like that.

HORI, I'm going to need you to get busy with making a Split Pad Pro 2 for the Switch 2 please and thank you.

I mean, that’s great, but I asked it to refactor a 250-line PHP script yesterday and it entirely left out three core functions because…well…it had an oopsie. If it has an oopsie when teaching inexperienced folks how to fix electricals, they die screaming.

I don’t know who at Bandai Namco made this but it couldn’t not be any clearer that they spent their life making AMVs, saw their moment to shine, and did not hesitate.

I made an entire football manager game in BASIC for the Amstrad CPC called Soccer Europa. Fully complete. Match outcomes were entirely random, which made it harder than Dark Souls. It was saved onto one cassette ever. It even had cover art I did in biro. I’d say mine was more rare.

An actual finished product that uses the network connection for something other than firmware updates. Y'know, to add really obvious things such as online high-score tables or achievements. But it'll probably be another uncomfortable and half-arsed piece of underpowered hardware.

Never forget the rule that if you collect games, you have to specify at every possible turn that you are, actually, in fact, a game collector. And I mean at *every* possible turn. "As a game collector, I'll have a venti caramel latte to go, please." should not sound ridiculous to you.

Gud post-bank-holiday poast rolling in today. Free Burnouts from the Michiganers I’m doing work for. A PAL Pokémon Moon repatriated from the States, some vinyl, and a Japanese Infinite Climax. Yessir. The shelves, they are full.

We gotta normalize single-player narrative games just being really short and replayable with a lot of variable things that can happen again, instead of being long and bloated with busywork.

We need more tasteful wooden tea boxes to display videogames in the world. Let's draw inspiration from places that are already beautiful instead of continuing with the gamer aesthetic of LED lights and 3D printed stands.

“…is it because I lied, when I was 17?”

Alright, that's pretty good.

Strava just sent me a notification featuring a photo of Max the Cat (RIP) that no longer exists on my phone or in the cloud to say congratulations on hitting my walking goal last week. WELL DONE HERE'S YOUR DEAD PET.
