Neeeeeeerd! Middle aged father to a stupid budgie and a recovering, antisocial gerbil. Classically trained gamer.
Very disappointed by Switch Super Mario RPG. I really thought this was just placeholder artwork. Especially when the SNES one looks as it does.

I ran into a bug about 3/4 of the way that made it impossible to continue so I dropped it and watched the ending(s) on YouTube. Anyone else play Buddy Simulator 1984?

Turns out having a theme month (or two) for games has made me play more. Who knew? #SpookySeason #Halloweenies

Another one done and dusted for #Halloweenies #Spookyseason
Gooigi and polterpup are delightful.

I've seen some hot takes in my time, but this is genuinely one of the worst ones ever. 7th Gen consoles: Shite! #RetroGaming 😂

Oh yeah! I kept seeing that come up right after the Titanic sub thing 😂

So this game kept coming up as "it's amazing and it's not what you expect", so I bought it on sale recently. It again came up on a more "themed" list, so I think it's time. It just might fit the current theme... #IYKYK

Hello, stranger!
You think so? What's a good example? I'm usually very dismissive of new games with "retro aesthetics" because old pixel art was always intended for CRTs. But games like Blasphemous do get it very right.

Seriously! This looks great on a CRT. If you like playing games of the CRT era and can find a space for a little 13", glass cannon of phosphorescent glory, you should do it. #Halloweenies #Retrogaming

In between Little Nightmares and Parasite Eve I've also gone into Silent Hill. I have to say, if you can deal with tank controls and have CRT, this holds up IMO. Great example of less is more. The minimal sounds really ramps up the anxiety of exploring creepy locations. #Halloweenies

This asshole in particular! I knew what I had to do, but the hit detection on an cage being yank meant I sat for what felt like half an hour worth of loading screens just to get through his bit. I enjoyed this game, but the loading times are the most horrifying thing about it. #Halloweenies

Little Nightmares! Friend recommended this ages ago and I finally went into it on Switch. Great evening of playing in bed, window open, cold wind blowing in, headphones, lights out. One sitting this one. Again, love short games. #Halloweenies

This year the first spooky game was one I always enjoyed but never finished ('til this year), Parasite Eve. I don't think this game could be made today. It's very much a product of its time. Loved it. Nice and short. #RetroGaming #Halloweenies

Last year I played through Symphony of the Night and then Super Castlevania for the first time right after Halloween. I enjoyed that so much that I decided to make it tradition that I play spooky games from September to end of November.

Me and my wife rescued a budgie that had flown into our balcony and got Noodle to give her company. Here she is looking at him like "wtf is wrong with you?"
August 29, 2023 at 5:09 PM
Dunno how this will get used, but for now, here's my very dumb budgie, Noodle.
