Got mad about the Switch 2 price and the price of its games so I spent $2100 CAD on a PC (Ryzen 9600X, 32GB, GeForce 3070).

I bought some business card holders today, to prop up my GBAs. Got a third, should maybe put my SNES themed n3DS XL up.

Ok, maybe I am out. #canada #nintendo

Guess who got into wave 3 of the EGM Compendium online access?

Local IPA and Final Fantasy XIII tonight.

I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development localthunk.com/blog/balatro...

ps Balatro is made in Canada. Playing it is a way to support Canadian. 😆 🎮

Let me state this plainly: if @xbox.com cared about game preservation, it would use its enormous corporate power to push the Entertainment Software Association to pull back on its exercise of the DMCA and allow preservation organizations to do remote game access.

Beat my second deck on gold stake, first checkered now erratic. Really thought my cards dealt were going to ruin me, wasn’t getting my full houses but my last hand would have been enough to win it on its own. #balatro

Three fights in the opening nine seconds?!? I thought this was supposed to be an allstar game?! #nhl #canada

Started up Final Fantasy XIII about 15 years after falling off of it for being too linear- this actually seems good and maybe I should have finished it. The battle system is great, music is great, and it’s beautiful on Steam Deck.

Finished FFVII Rebirth ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom ⭐️⭐️⭐️ this week. Now deciding if I should jump into another long game like DA The Veilguard or something shorter like Blasphemous or Hellblade.

My Vizio-P65 has been a good TV, recently replaced it with an LG65B4 but it was being used in the basement- but at 6y10m it has died. TV just keeps rebooting, the Vizio home screen won’t load, AirPlay won’t display, and HDMI sources only show half a screen.

Preordered the only colour of founder’s edition that was left last night- black. Can’t wait to get into FPGA retro gaming.

Saved up 16M in Gran Turismo 7 for the McLaren F1 gr3. Kinda wanted the road car but it was 20M and I’ll probably use the gr3 more. #granturismo

I might actually finish Final Fantasy VII Rebirth soon. Great game, even better on PS5 Pro but I think we could trim like 30 hours off and be better for it. #playstation

Sadly this five of a kind strat didn’t pan out. #balatro

Welp, my #Balatro accolades are officially better on my phone than my Steam Deck.

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Duuuude #balatro

Just barely won this run of Balatro on checkered deck, purple stake. Came down to the final hand and I really didn’t think the hand was going to be enough.

I know there’s a lot going on right now but why didn’t I replace VLOOKUP with XLOOKUP before?

This beautiful joker came on a bad run where I failed the next boss blind anyway. #balatro

Spent all day playing Gran Turismo 2 on my phone (with a Backbone). This game is still great.

My son got like eight Lego sets so I don’t know when I will get to build mine. At least my controller dock was quick.
