Rolled credits on Hollow Knight. Fantastic game design. I found myself bored toward the end. I love Metroidvanias but it's just so big. I did play the version with all the dlc so maybe I should have taken it in chunks.

I'm in the middle of finally playing Hollow Knight... I thought it would be like a nice relatively short game after Expedition 33 and Outer Worlds. I think I have more hours in than either and while I think it's amazing for a team so small to pull this off. I'm not really vibing though

I put off watching Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny because it was slammed but if you can get past the movie looking absolutely awful because of CGI slop and that ugly ass brown look every movie has now, it's an order of magnitude better than Crystal Skull.

Expedition 33 hits your guts like a freight train. Trying to avoid spoilers so, I went the female way. The dude was a murderer.

Indiana Jones and the great circle is the best Indiana Jones sequel.

@richardgarriott.bsky.social How's your Saudi Arabic?

I've never been so captivated by a game that hands me my ass as much as Expedition 33 has.

@raddadredemption.bsky.social Dude..I need suggestions for paranormal equipment. One of the most haunted places in Washington State is right down the road.

Found a work around for keeping my games at $70. It's a little annoying but I use the apps Fetch, receipt pal, receipt Hog, pogo, and coin out plus bing to get ten dollar gift cards. Fetch has Nintendo specifically. it takes me maybe 5-10 minutes in the evening to scan my receipts. Hope this helps.

Man, did anyone else play South of Midnight?! I was playing it to check out the art style and get some points on GAMEPASS and now I'm on chapter 10 and the story is so cool.

Me: What the hell did cavemen do while they were pooping? They didn't have cell phones, magazines, shampoo bottles.. My Wife: I learned I was supposed to rinse and repeat on the toilet. Maybe we have cave wall drawings because they were pooping!

I'm currently playing six different games and that's stupid. I need to lock into expedition 33 because it's impressive and I'm only playing anything else to get Microsoft points.

Whenever I hear, "Stones" from Ultima, I am reminded of, "Stairway to Heaven". "Down By the River" from Baldur's Gate 3 reminds me of Stones. Funny.

Today, the entirety of heaven yelled out in unison. "NORM!!" The world is a little less cool today. Good bye George Wendt.

Just got the last parts for my PC yesterday. I have built PCs many times over the years. I cannot explain how much anxiety I'm feeling. I already dealt with all the ram/CPU/SSD stuff that SHOULD be the scary part but no. It's worrying about plugging in fans and psu stuff that I'm struggling with.

Started Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake again. I'm on a Switch diet because I can lay in bed and play it.

Finally on the board with credits rolled on Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Excellent story. The combat system is kinda all over the place but good enough for a real time minus pause kinda system. I really had to push into the game to get into it but glad I stuck with it.

So I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. It's got one hell of a fun story. It's a really great game. I'm forcing myself to play it through before Claire Obscura because I...love.. turn based

Weird truth. I played Oblivion and absolutely loved it. I've started Skyrim so many times and even before it came out, I was so excited... I've never played it through. I struggle to feel the feelings I felt with Oblivion.

Ten minutes into Claire Obscura Expedition 33 and I'm not ok already.

@richardgarriott.bsky.social Is there any kind of documentary that deep drives into the process of creating an Ultima game? I understand the minutia might not be a hot commodity but everyone wants to make games..

They need to deepfake the end of The Planet of the Apes to show Taylor walk up to the statue of Liberty and say, "You did it... You finally did it.. Good."

When you were a kid and had a friend over, did you play 2 player PVP in games or pass the controller back and forth playing a single player game? My best friend and I tried to play Final Fantasy 7 all the way through without a save card. We found out it was bigger than other FF games.

Well the stock market certainly took a Trumpy Dumpy.

Repost with a pic and your age. (A clearly young 46) *Cries*

@richardgarriott.bsky.social if you make another Ultima some day, it has to start with opening a text file in notepad and editing the config.sys and autoexec.bat. even if it's just part of the "earth" part before you do the tarot cards.

Hear me out. A survival game where you hunt care bears.

Just went on the other app and now I think I need antibiotics.

Man, the first party lineup is looking kinda thin...

Everyone should watch Sean Penn's movie Superpower. I just.. Somebody help these folks win this war!

Val Kilmer died... damn... I was hoping it was a sick April Fool's joke.

@richardgarriott.bsky.social You said U4 first but how do you make it better? Ultima 1 would be cheaper to remake. Akalabeth too. You could do SO MUCH with it. If you simply destroy the gem, you rob Mondain of his power but if you actually kill Mondain, the last scene is you becoming the Guardian.

Day one for Metroid Prime 4 and DQ 1+2 HD2D.

My fav! 🗡️✨ I'm currently reading @richardgarriott.bsky.social's Create/Explore, & in it he discusses the challenges of translating his (fantasy) languages to other (real) languages.. so cool. #Ultima #UltimaUnderworld #bigboxPCgames #PCgaming #DOSgaming #retrogaming #OriginSystems #LordBritish

Sir William! Congratulations on the defeat of Minax the Enchantress. You have further mastered the gates of time to prevent her foul plans. Onward to Exodus! Lord British

@aeroranger20.bsky.social I was today years old when I found out "Stones" wasn't a public domain medieval song that was used for the game. It's my favorite relaxation song and part of it reminds me of Stairway to Heaven. I just have my Ultima 9 soundtrack that I've always listened to.

I was without a phone for two days and I almost killed myself.

@goshjoshgames.bsky.social yep this is Phil Costales on Twitter. Totally added you but I'm still figuring out how to adjust so I see what I want.

@richardgarriott.bsky.social this is going to sound very boo hoo but I think it's awesome. I introduced my friend to Ultima 32ish years ago. I moved away about two years ago. Yesterday was my dad's birthday(passed in 2020 at 63). Anyway my friend said he missed gaming with me so he made this.

Hehehehe. Motherfucker.

Hey folks! Follow @richardgarriott.bsky.social if you're an older gamer like myself! He's trying to get back to his place that shall not be named numbers.

I made it to 150 followers. A lot may be bots but I know they aren't crazy.

I just mcguyvered the most interesting Internet setup ever to get Internet

@richardgarriott.bsky.social Penny for your thoughts? Awe..in fifty years kids won't understand what that means. www.timeextension.com/news/2025/02...

Avowed is frigging beautiful. I'm trying to build a PC so I'll likely wait to play it through. That combat is SATISFYING though

Happy Valentine's Day.

The way of the world right now. I think I'm going to only keep blue sky. There's just not enough good news anywhere.

I uninstalled Twitter today. I can't believe how bad it's gotten. I can't believe the country is like this.

So who's watching commercials with Kendrick in the middle today?
