did another playthrough of chaotix after several years and i had... more fun than last time, exclusively flinging myself through each level

the timer must not count time spent in special stages cause i needed like 12 tries and did a few wireframe ones. i also had to redo an amazing arena stage lmao

did you see that, zach?! clear as a crisp spring #RandomGameSaturday morning!

interesting that the saves still held up, and one of them has a "can't be that bad" clear time under 90 minutes on it, they had 3 (but not all) of the chaos rings so it probably could have been even better

the entry price is (kinda) worth to hear this game in surround sound with a subwoofer

(also ccing @stereoproject.bsky.social)

today's thrifting post is a look back at when portable DVD players were high-end hi-fi instead of an epidemic of cheap e-waste

never mind solid snake (?) is in this yugioh game 10/10 goty

i don't know why i've beaten 4 different GBA yugioh games this year, they just kept getting more irritating... at least reshef of destruction was comical in it's hatred of the player

7 trials to glory should have been called 7 weeks of going right back to bed after waking up

beat starflight after 30-ish hours. i restarted my save 10 hours in cause i wasn't taking notes and fucked my money situation, and this definitely a notes-taking game

it's... interesting. there's a good setting and story in here, and participating in Space Capitalism to avoid the apocalypse is fun

beat elemental master, getting a 1cc after running out of credits to the stage 5 and 7 bosses a few times

it's... fine? idk, i'd rather play a thunder force, but it's still a good time. the graphics and tunes are fine, but it's a shame that the starting weapon is the best in almost every situation

what the fuck is this. i didn't vote for this. this is bullshit. chuck schumer is gonna get a few phone calls from me about this

after playing pat riley basketball three times i can beat the CPU by over 80 points lmao
November 2, 2025 at 9:39 PM
played two games of pat riley's basketball on genesis, although it's still plenty rough around the edges

the default CPU will counter-steal your swipe immediately, and i had soooo many back court violations from steals that happen at the half line where i don't have an opportunity to stop running

you will never guess where this video goes that's frontloaded into the DVD for "it's the great pumpkin, charlie brown". not in a million years.

for #RandomGameSaturday, accept this invitation to be transported to the ideal fantasy world: a 90s japanese high school where everyone is obsessed with the card game uno

one of these days i'll bother to do a 1cc, not like it would be that hard if i played more than once a month and not when i'm two bowls in and thinking "hehehehhe super thunder blade"

happy birthday, little guy

...what do you mean that's not right? are you gonna deny them their birthday when all of their oldest friends showed up?

for #RandomGameSaturday i used an actual RNG (i bet someone hated how i said that) and it gave me the 3rd tetris i've posted in recent memory. oh well

if you can look past the random disney license, it's probably the best vs. battle tetris ever made with a killer masato kouda soundtrack!
