SO, these are amazing. HOWEVER, I still will not own a pair of Crocs.
Nintendo announced an Animal Crossing collaboration with Crocs launching August 26, 2025.

Exciting news! I will be opening up a video game store soon called Hilltop Retro where I will be buying, selling, and trading physical video games, consoles, and peripherals. I'm looking forward to it! Please see @hilltopretro.bsky.social for the latest updates. Thank you!

Even if they DO have jobs, they'll still be playing video games in their mom's basement because they won't be able to afford to live on their own in their own places at this rate.

Poor sales for third-party Switch 2 games? The fix is simple: put the whole game on the card, no more 'Game Key Cards.'
Cyberpunk 2077 proved this, succeeding as one of the few third-party titles fully playable from the game card.

I'm having a tough time accepting "Key Card" Switch 2 releases. Again, I get the other consoles are already doing it, but I'm just not ready for Nintendo to be doing it.

I'm tired of working for others. I'm going to be my own boss. I'm will ride the highs and lows. But I'm going to have fun doing it. Videogames have been a passion of mine all my life. I'm going to die and enjoy doing what I love. I'm opening my own store one way or another.

After SO many tries I finally got 100% completion on medium guitar difficulty on the song Down by 311 in Rock Band 4 on @xbox.com Series X. I know it's not the real instrument, but I'm still feeling super accomplished. Especially since 311 is my favorite band of all time.

That price for the Switch 2 is steep. But as much as I play my Switch and as large as my game library is, Switch 2 is a no-brainer for me. Not to mention almost everything I wanted the Switch to do, the Switch 2 addresses it.

I downloaded the new Nintendo app. The last scheduled Nintendo Switch 2 Experience event on its calendar is May 31st in Seoul. A June launch like rumors suggest?

I'm so happy that Game Informer is back. I had been subscribed since the late 90s until the last issue in 2024. Better yet, the whole band is back together. This time, out from under the umbrella of their previous owner and that's a good thing.

Happy MAR10 Day! My favorite Mario game is Super Mario World for Super Nintendo. I still have my original pack-in copy when I bought the console new in 1992. This is a game I go back to all the time, not only for nostalgia but because it's fun for me to play. Do you have a favorite Mario game?

I started reading Video Game of the Year by @jordanwminor.bsky.social. It begins in 1977 (as did I) and I'm loving it. I've played so many of the games mentioned so far and learned so much more than I anticipated. I know I'm going to love this book. Well done!

Finished game #1 of 2025. I really enjoyed The Quarry. Cheesy dialogue and a somewhat anticlimactic ending held it back a little for me but it is still easily recommended due to the fantastic branching storyline and overall presentation.

Props to @boatcrash.bsky.social as I just listened to the @cheapassgamer.com CAGcast 814 today. 😂 ( cc: @cheapyd.bsky.social and @newwombat.bsky.social )

RIP to my PlayAsia orders. Granted, this is insignificant compared to the trauma he has caused to others, but I just wanted to import and play some video games to get away from this bullshit.

I've been a gamer all of my life and an Xbox gamer since day 1. I've purchased every Xbox day 1, and I was even an Xbox Live Beta tester. It is not doom and gloom for Xbox. Stop it. The SEGA situation 20+ years ago was completely different.

I think you should take every point you can get in a Conference Championship, especially when you're playing against the Refs.

Had my first eye exam in 5 years and forgot about the dilated pupils. I can't read anything right now. The snow is the brightest snow I've ever seen. At least these weren't as bad as the drops for my flight physical in the United States Air Force. 😎

I used to like Elon. Now he's just a POS. What he did today is unacceptable and disgusting. We need people who lift others up, not who demonstrate hate. Use this as a lesson to others to be a positive example in society, unlike that guy.
