A great one from @dreamcastaway.bsky.social about enjoying (or not enjoying) a game on its own terms, rather than what we wished it was instead.

My Bazzite install is all kinds of confusingly broken on my Legion Go (maybe I shouldn’t have not touched it in months) but at the same time I’m sitting here like “what if my desktop ran Linux as its main OS?”

Life update: This turned into a new book or five.
Not me going "Welp, just finished a book, maybe I can go buy a new book or two!" instead of, y'know, just going to my bookshelf and picking up one of the "or two" that I purchased the last several times I bought some books.

What started out as “I need a new jacket for the sports ball game I’m going to tomorrow” has turned into a “go for a long drive and vibe” kinda day.
That, and the podcast backlog has been getting cleared out 🙏

It's foolish to look at the state of tech and gaming layoffs and expect folks to pick up and relocate to cities just to lose their job a year or 2 later. Fuck all that noise, fuck RTO and fuck the companies just cutting folks off. I hope you get what's coming to you.

I’m slowly building both a list and a collection of physical games for my Switch 2.
The hard part about this is the debate for getting physical versions of games I already own digitally. 😅
