they told me that star wars outlaws was an open world game but so far it's just uncharted in space

Saw this one posted the other day

Must have been hard to pick the four best Shrek films

after rolling credits on Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, I picked up Star Wars: Outlaws as my next big game. I had this on PS5 for ages and slept on it, eventually spending a few bucks to trade it out for the Switch 2 version. An hour in, and I'm pretty much sold on it.

sometimes you have to take the bluesky cartridge out and blow on it

this is one of my favorite games in the past few years. so memorable.

i rolled credits on the legend of zelda: echoes of wisdom. i'm glad i finally played it, and i enjoyed much of my time with it, but by the time i finished the game i was happy to be done with it and move on.

character 1 says a thing character 2 asks a clarifying question character 3 agrees it's a good thing to clarify character 1 clarifies character 2 confirms the clarification character 3 pulls character 2 aside to summarize the interaction this is the legend of zelda: echoes of wisdom, in summary

Jesus fucking Christ don't look to see what other people thought of the film "Obsession" on BlueSky while in public.

spent some time today learning about @railway.com and standing up a few apps to learn. there's a lot to learn.

season finale for jet lag: taiwan hits today on youtube. if you like the amazing race if you like travel if you like games played on a large country-wide scale if you like trains you should check it out! this season has been SUPER fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUGH...

@boatcrash.bsky.social @cheapyd.bsky.social I spent all last weekend redownloading my Xbox 360 rock band DLC. So yes, it is possible. It's a pain in the ass and the interface sucks. But it's there! Thanks for the great podcast all these years.

I'm going to go to target and tell random people that the discourse around Mixtape is toxic

fwiw I think it looks neat but I have to finish (checks notes) Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin's Creed Shadows first.

I can't fathom a better sign that you're too plugged into the discourse than to see Mixtape Discourse as being too prevalent. Not a single literal person I could talk to in my real ass life will have heard about this video game.

i don't mean to brag, but i did my own "return to xbox" and it only cost me $35 at goodwill

Spent all day re-downloading XBLA games, Rock Band DLC, and ordered from Lukiegames: The Darkness, Fable 2, Bulletstorm, Rockstar Table Tennis, Rage, Dragon Age Origins, Banjo Kazooie N&B and Viva Pinata.

omg this is an 8bitacrylic gold mine. www.spriters-resource.com/gamecube/dou... which villagers should I paint??

picked up a used xbox 360 over lunch today because it was $35. what 360 games should i get?

People are so picky

I want to play a star fox

halfway through the jet lag taiwan finale and this season feels like an all-timer.

update on this goal: i have finished ghost of yotei and death stranding 2, and put octopath traveller 0 back on the shelf accepting that i am functionally done with it. 3 down, 5 to go.

you've all been wondering if i am going to buy the new star fox game. well, not until i play EIGHT BACKLOG GAMES

started a new save file today, hoping that the better performance of the switch 2 helps take some of the rough edges off this game for me.

Credits just rolled. I went from liking the game, to loving the game, to considering it an all-timer in the span of about 8 hours of gameplay.

❤️ death stranding 2 ❤️

I was a maxfun member back in the early days and as my listening habits changed, so did my choice to continue being a member. I cancelled probably 5-6 years ago. Well, as of now I'm back on board. Justin left Besties this week and I want to continue supporting him in another avenue.

Picked up music from @bafflegabs.bsky.social and @puptheband.bsky.social

@bafflegabs.bsky.social just noticed that it's bandcamp friday and i remembered how much i've enjoyed your work as presented on get played so i bought the entire set. can't wait to dig in!

the atlanta hawks have now joined the "30-point club," having scored at least 30 points in a single game

this morning i got on an elevator and saw this sign. i haven't stopped thinking about it all day. YES PRESSED

it's time, bitches

if you need me i'll be in my throne

UPDATES fedora workstation has proven to be an incredible laptop OS, A+ also there's one specific side character in death stranding 2 that i hope gets her own game because of how much she fucking rules. also the new @rainbowrowell.bsky.social is charming as per usual, thanks for the great read!

Hmmm.... 🤔

who would have ever predicted that the revival of ncaa football games would lead me to believe that i don't like ncaa football games.... or really ncaa football at all anymore?

udpate: i spent the gift card refund on tomodachi life, a gift for my kid because she was super super excited for it, and it came out before her four day weekend. the game shipped on wednesday of last week, and STILL hasn't arrived yet, at the conclusion of the four day weekend.

i signed up for storygraph. if that means anything to you, follow me at 8bitacrylic and drop me your username so i can follow you. if not, plz have a great evening.

hooked on the brothas #pixelpainting

insane that they can release video games on vinyl now

Been spending all weekend building an app to scrape APIs to gather metadata about my ROM collection so I can properly curate a manageable set for my Ayn Thor. Please understand.

It's volley time in volley town.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

the unintentional genius of naming my dog Cooper was in the flexibility of the rhymes. For example, I've expressed that he is a super pooper to the tune of hundreds of other songs. In rare occurrences he is a super DUPER pooper.

My adventures in Linux continue. My main PC is on Bazzite, and I'm happy with it so far. I got a new (used) laptop today (HP ZBook) and I've decided to put Fedora Workstation on there. This is fun. Computers are fun again.
