Video games enjoyer
Was very tempted to pick this up despite not having an Amiga to plug it into. Absolutely goated controller for the microswitches.

Happy Halloween. Here’s my attempt at drawing Jack O Lantern/Pyro Jack of SMT/Persona fame from last year. 🎃

The nostalgia for pre-digital TV really hit when I saw that Blippo+ has its own version of Ceefax/Teletext.

3+ hours on Groal couldn’t get me to quit Silksong but I swear if I still don’t get to unlock Act 3 after this Broodmother fight…

Nice, my copy of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter arrived a day early. Changed my pre-order from PS5 to Switch so I could play handheld (though the 120fps is really nice on the Pro).

Followed a tip from Triple Click podcast and got through High Halls after turning off the sound. My brain needed the spare capacity to process what the hell was going on in that fight.

Reached Act 2of Silksong. After banging my head against the wall in Hunter's March over the past week, getting through the door didn't seem all that bad.

As someone who’s been discussing games online since 2002..

I keep forgetting that nowadays when you say “Game of the Year”, people think you’re talking Geoff’s award show and not your favorite game of the year

As someone who didn't vibe with Hollow Knight, I've been having a way better time with Silksong. Enjoying it a lot. But wow does it feel like I've hit a wall 8-9 hours in.

Jasmine, we’re glad to have you back but you gotta give it a rest with that “tea/tee time” pun. 😭

First time completing a game on NSO in all these years of having it. And it’s a good one!

The greatest internet radio show about video games and the people who love them returns.
A Life Well Wasted 9 will be released one week from today. Here’s the poster design by Olly Moss. Screenprints will be on sale from 9/4 through 9/11 on the ALWW website. Still ad-free! Come back next week.

The sound of Chibi Robo walking around is stuck in my head but it’s worth it for the weird and wonderful goings-on in this game.

A fun and silly clip I made for @eurothug4000.bsky.social when she played Thank Goodness You're Here on Twitch

Post a screenshot of your first 5 Steam purchases and let Bluesky judge you

Pretty sure I had a phase with each of these games.

This was not how I expected you to pick up a summon in Bravely Default.

Hearing Kofun blame herself for the decline in part of her town's history and culture broke my heart. 😢

It's characters with stories like hers that motivated me to clean up the town and help its folks. Seeing the vibrancy and pride in the town return is heartwarming. The feel good game of the year.

PS5 doesn’t disable HDR when streaming to the Portal, which is fine until you’re up in the snowy mountains of Death Stranding 2.

Made a start on Promise Mascot Agency this weekend. Sometimes your mascots will face incidents whilst on a job. You can choose to ignore the call for help, but how could you?

Second credits rolled on Bananza. Yeah, it’s my game of the year.

DK and Pauline as a duo is what sold me on this game and they’re a big reason why I ended up loving it.

people are always saying "oh no a partner showcase I'm going to die" but they're never saying "what if Gravity Rush is in this one"

I thought the final area/boss in Bananza would surely be this year's most spectacular. But Death Stranding 2...

Main story of Bananza completed and into the post-game with over half(!) of bananas left to find. I think this ranks among Nintendo’s best.

The internet was better in the days when I mainly frequented a hyperlocal message board for fans of punk rock.
its funny to think the little immensely prosperous open network and exchange of ideas and information we enjoyed 199X-201X was probably a blip in history, a little anomaly if you will
