Selling more on Mercari. Going by PriceCharting and "make me an offer." Every time we get passed one thing, another not-good thing seems to happen so... Yeah.

It's Black Friday sales season and the hit Steam Deck Verified indie game Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines is on sale!

You can also nominate the game for a "Labor of Love" award, which I hope you might want to do if you enjoyed the new OVERTIME chapter..!

Oddly Mario Rabbids is probably one of the better games to come out of Ubisoft.

youtu.be/phiWRZ_VCCA fun video about an arcade genre that doesn't seem quite as well-remembered as, like, shmups. i had a little difficulty picking out the voice over from the background music but it's definitely worth it. you gotta share videos like these so they don't fly under the radar!

FINALLY broke down and got Minecraft Dungeons (60 some odd percent off, $15 with all DLC) and Halo Collection ($10). I'm not a big Diablo guy, but Torchlight 1 and 2, and MC Dungeons are really fun for me.

The fun part about being sick is being sick again after. Man, this is the third time I've had some kind of cold in the last 2 months. I don't usually get sick this often! URGH

I'm not hurting for controllers, but wow that's a pretty one! Love Hoyo controllers and keyboard designs. Now they need to get to work on some offline single player spinoff titles. Where's my Genshin mystery dungeon or Genshin musou?

So this is quite funny, the VAs do amazing work, and the Toonami opener is amazing and accurate.

Reminder that it isnt high efficiency if I have to run 2 cycles and a third rise every load of laundry with the water level set to high... and my laundry still smells like gym socks and soap. I HATE appliance companies so much.

Do High-Efficiency Washers Leave More Detergent Residue Behind Than Non-HE Washers?
Because high-efficiency front-loading washers use less water, you might assume that they aren’t as good at rinsing detergent from clothes as non-HE machines. The truth is a little more complicated.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

I think Nintendo should bring back "Player's Choice" $20 games... and I think they should take most of those and put them on Steam. I know it'd never EVER happen, but I feel like printing money is also fun sometimes. A couple of year 1 Switch titles, a few Wii or Wii U ports. It's all I ask.

The second chapter of my Pokémon: Living Dex Adventures begins next Saturday, November 15th in celebration of @extralife4kids.bsky.social's Game Day. All proceeds will go to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Come on by, make a donation if you can, and watch as I slowly lose my mind.

Playing Freedom Planet 2. Maybe too much game. There are way too many cutscenes. SUPER high quality, but I get cutscene fatigue. Stage design is sometimes a LITTLE weak.

Everything else is 10/10. LOVE the music, visuals, characters, movement.

So a lot of people don't know what I'm complaining about when I badmouth TAA or FSR. This has to be some of the WORST artifacting I've ever seen related to it. I thought it was the encoder being overloaded. I do begrudgingly use such tech when the damage is minimized.

Steam Machine looks very promising, especially as PS5 and Xbox are pricing themselves out of the market for many of us. Radeon RX 7600 (mobile?) is nothing to write home about, but it'll run what has to be 99% of games just fine.

Don’t think the steam cube will do markedly better than the deck but anything that kicks targeted specs on games down is good
