Midwesterner transplanted to the East Coast. I like gaming, tech, and keeping up with the news. Super exciting, right? 🥱
Finished the “Chainsaw Man” anime. That was legit.
Need to see the movie now!

Finally got 100% of the achievements on a #Steam Game—Duck Detective: The Secret Salami
1st time on any game or platform, I think.
OK, only 7 achievements, with 6 gained just playing the game normally. And the 7th just barely any extra effort.
Doesn’t matter, still 100%’d it!

-PATCH 7.3 SPOILERS-
OK, this is more than just a bit creepy. The technically-dead-but-still-alive-in-the-"Matrix"-but-400yo-now genius kid was ~13yo when he died.
Yet this is the locker of the facilities dir. who worked for the kid. Yikes. Alexandrian FBI? This right here.

Trying out some of the recording and clipping features on Steam Deck (though uploading this to Bluesky on PC via native Deck to PC transfer). While I'm playing "Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero." Pretty decent.

Playing Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero. Just saw something interesting.
See that NPC with the purple hair? I switched zones, yet he's still shown. Feel like I don't see that very often in games.
IMO, makes the world feel more believable. It has continuity and persistence.

What I dislike about some older #JRPGs, is the inability to outright skip cutscenes. Already watched this ~20min one, but had to reload. Had to hold down 2 buttons to speed it up.
"Trails in the Sky, The 3rd" isn't even that old. Was released in Japan in 2007 (and in West in 2017).

Holy...this #SaudiArabianGP Quali session was one of the best I've seen. Max, Oscar, and George just answering each other's best laps with seconds to go. But Max takes P1 in the end, by just -.010sec!

Oscar and Lando in the Cooldown Room sums up the whole race in 3 sentences (towards end of clip).

The official Red Bull #formula1 poster for this weekend at Sazuka is a great homage to "Akira."
Shoulda been Yuki's Car 22 instead of Max's Car 1 though. Given that Yuki is Japanese and all. 🤷🏽♂️

#Planetside2 folks, Smedley, Higby, and TRay are up to something. New MMOFPS? Spiritual successor in the vein of Planetside 3? 👀

Hate to be that guy, but shocking how bad some people are at #FFXIV. I'm just a filthy casual, but dying 11 times in M3N?
I'm a weak healer, for sure. But bt other SGE and me, we were doing OK. But the DPS kept dying to the AOE.
Worst run of this I've seen. Voted abandon after 3 tries.

Everyone died at least once, but one MCH died 11 times. A BLM (my friend) died 7 times. SGE died 6 times, and me also SGE died 5 times. Tanks only died when they willingly wiped once everyone else died. If DPS wasn't dying all over the place, we'd have been OK, I think.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:553knhhw56i2vmdgrlrpn7eh/bafkreiberjvz5ro3nq2ipql3j5bog3kqkif2gw6ikekvei53tzovdlzqpe@jpeg)
