#RollCredits on Astro’s Playroom
Played it over the weekend with my partner. Delightful platformer full of winks and nods to PlayStation things.
It’s WILD that the free include with every PS5 is this good. Four hours of wholesome PlayStation propaganda and I was here for all of it.

How did I own Astro's Playroom for nearly five years (bought my PS5 in spring 2021) and not know it was about rescuing PlayStations?
I thought it was just a silly free demo, when in truth it's a really solid prologue platformer to 2024 Astro Bot!

Three platinum trophies in five days! Not bad!
These are pretty easy to get. 90% of the work is doing the story chapters and the last 10% is checking online to see what partner combinations unlock trophies.

Bad luck at trivia last night. Strong start, some errors in the second half, and finished 4th overall. Next week we’ll try again!
A few of our missteps included the 1990 film Total Recall, the 1554 execution of Lady Jane Grey, and the 20th amendment to the U. S. Constitution.

It is crazy (and probably a good business/marketing decision) that Blizzard is releasing a new class in three Diablo games at the same time.
Even if it’s only for the remaster, this is the first new Diablo II class in 25 years.
(No no no, don’t relapse into Diablo, you’re better than this….)

The Warlock Class is being added to Diablo IV, Diablo Immortal and.... um, Diablo II Remastered –believe it or not! 🤯🔥 Great to see that kind of support across the line, but just know: This "Reign of the Warlock" DLC goes for $25.

The PS6 is going to be an AI-empowered brick that costs $1,000.
AAA game development is rife with irresponsible, anti-consumer practices.
I might… buy no new hardware? And 90% less software? Until everything I have breaks? I have 40 years of unplayed video games available. I’ll be OK.

Out of curiosity I checked my trophy lists for the P3 and P5 dance games and… I’m close to platinum on both?
I’ll be playing all three Persona dance games off and on this month. Try to get three fresh new platinums for my account. It’s within reach.

2025 JSA is a good comic for action and drama, but holy hell is it unfriendly to DC newcomers.
I’m a degenerate so I was mostly OK, but I still had to look up some more obscure characters like Ruby Sokov, Jakeem Thunder, and Fog.
JSA is not a bad comic, but it’s 100% aimed at avid readers.

Unfortunate luck at trivia last night. We had one of our best games (264 out 270 possible points) but got knocked down to 2nd place because of a challenging final question.
I don’t even remember what else we got wrong lol. But now I’m going to hold a grudge against Shakespeare in Love forever.

I beat Mega Man 1 through 6 and Mega Man X1 through X4 in 2024, and I want to semi-continue this run in 2026.
Goal is to beat Mega Mans 7, 9, and 10 (three of the hardest ones) for the first time and replay MM 11 before Dual Override comes out in 2027.
