Installed MX Linux on a 12-year old Chromebook and I was kinda astonished how well it could remote play games over my network, despite the Steam software itself taking like five minutes to launch every time.

Made a package of Shin Black and realized only after I consumed it that I completely omitted the soup base packet. What a fucking waste.

This morning on the drive into work I saw people already “camped out” for a Mardi Gras parade that doesn’t start until 4PM tomorrow. It ain’t that serious, FFS.

My TV had a UHF knob.

I dug out my copy of Yoshi’s Woolly World tonight to introduce it to my daughter and man I forgot how many Wii & Wii U games I have. I really need to start whittling those down.

I needed this on a t-shirt circa 1999.

I wouldn’t call myself a Disney fan these days but goddamn if the ‘94 Innoventions Plaza Loop doesn’t stir something deep inside of me.

@grubb.wtf Did you ever get your package from Nintendo that you mentioned on the Bombcast?

She looks like she’s just sat down for her performance review and is nervous about what she’ll be told.

Squeaking in with six minutes to go.

The disc art on the Wii release of Pikmin is gorgeous.

November 22, 2014 has to be the best day for Nintendo software launches ever.

It’s a gumbo night.

Ah fuck, this one's a doozie. NES: Kirby's Adventure GB: Donkey Kong ('94) SNES: Yoshi's Island N64: Banjo-Kazooie GBA: Astro Boy: Omega Factor NDS: Kirby: Canvas Curse Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 2 3DS: Shovel Knight WIi U: Super Mario 3D World SW: Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

That is a WILD temperature swing tomorrow.

Meanwhile at “the Board of Peace”…

After this week’s Voicemail Dump Truck intro, might I humbly suggest “Game Show Week”? There’s a ton of videogame adaptions of game shows stretching back 30+ years plus some original titles as well that y’all can delve into. @tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf @jerf.xyz @giantbomb.bsky.social

The moral of the story is that I need to play more videogames.

I want to use the insult “shitbird” more frequently.

The January 6 website that went up yesterday is a clear indicator that the president and his administration will blatantly lie and attempt to misinform the public despite scads of evidence to the contrary.

Yo this sucks.

I can’t reply to this, but my response is Rayman 2: The Great Escape.

My mom warned me today about taking the COVID-19 vaccine, in the year of our lord 2026. 🤦

Finally got around to checking out Frank Cifaldi’s (@frankcifaldi.bsky.social) excellent “The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System” documentary video and remembered that I blew past the one-year anniversary of the little mini NES museum display I put together back in late 2024.

Back on my F-Zero 99 bullshit.

Man it’s fucking depressing to go into a retail store to see all the Christmas items replaced with Valentines Day and Mardi Gras merch. I miss it already and I have to wait a whole ‘nother year? Fuck.

I did play a whole bunch of Death Stranding this year.

The Wii News Channel music makes for some great sleep music.

I tried Sonic Rumble over the weekend for the first time and there’s so many goddamn currencies, bars to fill, and things tracked for completion that it makes your fucking head spin.

Fuck man maybe I’ll just dust off my copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy or something, for fucks sake.

@janochoa.bsky.social What do I have to do to buy you some beignets when you’re down in New Orleans?

Bought a few cans of Liquid Death at Five Below after hearing @tolkoto.com talking it up and uh…hey, it’s not too bad.

Mystery charge on my Best Buy credit card. Call the credit card number: IDK man, call Best Buy. Call Best Buy: IDK man, I don’t see any recent purchases. Neat! Guess I’ll give it a few days to make sure it isn’t some weird authorization charge that’ll fall off eventually and dispute that fucker.

@bazzite.gg Who can I can for tech support? Trying to deduce some Steam Remote Play issues.

@tolkoto.com Hereby requesting this shirt with the GB crew replacing the existing characters.

Hot take: Adult cats are cuter than kittens.

*sigh*

Visited a Round1 arcade for the first time yesterday, spent more than I probably should have (But who knows when I’ll get this opportunity again?) won a half dozen plush toys, and now I’m seriously considering buying the home version of Taiko no Tatsujin after playing it for the first time. Help.

Why are there so many goddamn crane game establishments in the Houston area?

This was my first non-pack-in NES cart.

@floppyadult.com In Houston for the weekend. Which stores or arcades should I check out?

@dekudeals.com @janochoa.bsky.social

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

I wanna hang out with @tolkoto.com and talk about how much worse they made Epcot after the late 90s/early 2000s.

Okay. So. Fuck. I thought Tron: Ares was enjoyable and now I’m pissed that, as usual with these sorts of things, there’s cliffhanger and sequel hooks in this thing that will never ever be followed up on because the thing absolutely faceplanted.

Sometimes I like to turn on my PC just to run system update and feel something. Unfortunately my Mac no longer gets updates, so it makes me feel nothing.

He just wants to hang out.
