New games acquired. They came with a PS2 but the disc drive sticks and I don't deal in finicky consoles. I had to excise that Lego Star Wars disc.

The tapes to watch pile grows

I imagined how goofy the shoulders would end up looking, giggled, then immediately drew it because I needed to see it made real

We're releasing a free demo of Brickadia for Steam's Next Fest! Build your own cars, and then build the entire city around those cars. Place *millions* of bricks and create cool physics contraptions. Our demo is dropping tomorrow, don't miss out!

Looking into getting the Wii U to play Wii games off an external drive and the more I dig into this the more I think it'd be easier to just buy the Wii games I want on disc. Same thing I've been doing with the PS3.

found this in my notes, good advice for aspiring devs

Full map of my Satisfactory world. satisfactory-calculator.com lets you drag & drop your save to see all the things you built. I started in the dunes in the top-right and branched my way clockwise around the map. Barely even touched the middle.

Current VHS to watch pile (no set order). I've been prioritizing movies over TV shows since trying to watch a series on tape is really annoying.

Satisfactory complete. I can finally do other things with my life.

I should be asleep but the brain won't stop screaming

I think these are the pins I'm gonna go with for my EDC. Carries my handheld systems and some non-essential tools

Was talking to my mom about setting up a new EDC and rehoming my pins. She suggested a sash. What better sash than the EDC itself?

Maybe I should get back into bullet hells

I wonder if you can gleam how someone's feeling by what color of box cake mix they buy. I bought a white cake mix with white frosting. Too much excitement in my life? Need something particularly featureless? Perhaps an aspiration for marriage?

Nothing has left me more disappointed than learning there's a game called Barbie Princess Bride and it's not at all what you think it is.

My games I played in 2025 list has three back to back negative reviews and we're not even through February. I gotta play something good or I'm not gonna make it through this year

It's that time again where I reinstall Stranger of Paradise.

Girlfriend is trying to talk to me about how Goldeneye is bad because the PS1 had better shooters and I want to explain why the steps to her conclusion are wrong but I also don't think this is worth fighting about.

Some time in the 2000s RPG devs decided to stop letting players make full custom parties and the entire genre has suffered for it

I try to avoid talking down about games where the resource management annoys me because I'm usually wrong when I play it again later but goddamn I am not enjoying the stamina/MP management of Avowed.

Tomb Raider 4/5/6 remasters are solid ports of the old games with the caveat that these are the weaker games of the classic era.

It's got a big tear on the front. However...

Windows search bar does a really annoying thing where it doesn't register the first key I type so I end up accidentally opening up Edge browser & Bing searching for an alculator.

Game trailers shouldn't be labeled launch trailers if they don't get uploaded at game launch.

I dunno who needs to hear this but every model of PS3 can play PS1 discs. Yes, even yours.

Where can I buy one of these as a full-sized body pillow

Avowed looks fun but I am inherently distrustful of other people's opinions on RPGs so I'd be going in cautiously. I'm especially distrustful of anyone calling it "Bethesda-coded" because a key component of Bethesda games is the sandbox and Avowed doesn't appear to have that.

I bet anti-abortionists consistently fall for Kickstarter scams

Took a shot at transcribing the Sacred Grove I've been playing by ear on my piano into some sheet music. Not super happy with the triplet at the end but I'm still learning.

I dunno who needs to hear this but FlyKnight has Shadow Tower dismemberment
