Well, it's that time of year again when I repost my blog about why we all deserve better than #TheGameAwards. Maybe if enough people click it, Google will stop refusing to index my blog since it's relaunch for BS reasons they refuse to explain. Help a brother out? geekbravado.com/we-all-deser...

If you know, you know. May his reflexes forever be totally off the ch-ahrts. 🫡

Highly recommend! Few games make me laugh, fewer still that rely on absurdist humour, but this had me chortling heartily multiple times! Grab this if you've got an Xbox.

And that's definitely a new personal boss takedown speed record! Take THAT Scrapbeak! medal.tv/games/hunt-s... @huntshowdown.com #HuntShowdown

This week, and today in particular, has been yet another hard lesson on who my real friends are. 😢

Went and visited a friend in the hospital who had a sudden heart attack the other day. He's thankfully doing well all things considered, but he's not a ton older than me. Really puts a lot of things in perspective. I really got to get my shit together on some stuff. 🤔

They might yet change, but this is what I came up with for my Steam Awards nominations for this year thus far: store.steampowered.com/steamawards/...

Well, the "lifting all boats" community feel in Arc Raiders sure didn't last long, did it? Can't spent more than a couple minutes anywhere before getting attacked by some weaksauce hiding in the bushes with a free loadout.

Binged the Netflix Splinter Cell anime. I'm a huge fan of the games, but don't get the hype for this. No Michael Ironside, middling animation at best, basically nothing to do with the games except a couple character names and as a spy story, pretty bland and generic. Could have been so much more.

Lost my job unexpectedly on Thursday. Long story I can't go into at the moment, but I was stiched up and it was personal. To my amazement, almost right after walking out, I had support pouring in from all corners. I'd kept my head out of the local IT scene, but apparently I was well regarded. 1/🧵

New blog post! The Steam Machine's gotten a lot of skepticism because of it's seemingly weak hardware specs, but I think there's a factor we are missing that could be its secret sauce. geekbravado.com/why-the-stea... Leave a comment with your thoughts and subscribe for new posts to your email!

@somafm.com Hey all! Big fan and long-time monthly supporter here. I was just wondering, do you plan to have Black Friday merch deals this year? I want to get a couple of things, but if a sale's happening, I don't want to miss it. ;) Thanks!

So far, I've had three freelance IT clients email me this morning in a panic because ChatGPT is down due to the Cloudflare outage. I mean panic as in they are acting like they can't work. This bubble needs to pop before it ruins us all. #ITLife

Pour one out for an industry pioneer and absolute legend. Rebecca was one of the GOATs and contributed to some of the most deifnitive PC games of the 80s and 90s. Fuck cancer indeed. 😢

A massive list of cool and FREE PC games! Check this out!

The shift from just being a review and news channel to one doing hardcore in-depth investigation into tech industry corruption is truly amazing to see. Backed their black market GPU funding at a high tier and probably will be for this too. Being em' Hell boys!

GIMME! This looks so awesome! It's the latest project from the creator of the amazing PicoGUS device. Can't wait for it!

Ellie's had a bit of tummy trouble the last couple days. She's on the mend but Beanie wants to make sure she knows she's loved. ♥️

Got my physical triple pack of the Haunted Halloween series of modern NES games from @retrotainmentgames.bsky.social that I backed on Kickstarter. Real carts that will work on a real NES with all the trimmings. Looks great guys! 💖 #NES #RetroGaming

So the absolute geniuses at @elgato.com let one of the core signing certificates in StreamDeck.exe expire and as a result, a bunch of plug-ins are broken, including all of BarRaider's. How a company this big screws this up on such expensive hardware is just baffling. Get it together Corsair.

Helped out one of my colleagues today who accidentally turned on high contrast mode in Edge and it was making her lose her mind. You'd think I just saved her from a burning house or something. Sometimes it's the little things that make you the biggest hero. #ITLife

I just backed Vectrex Mini on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/185...

Ever wanted to try playtesting? How about a remaster of a DOS-era classic? Check this out! Submitted an application myself.

Listen, sometimes you just hit 3 when you meant to hit 4... #thefinals medal.tv/games/the-fi...

REDSEC in #Battlefield6 says to melee downed enemies to reveal their squad. I don't know how this guy had time to talk. 🤣 medal.tv/games/battle...

No cap blud, even if we’re rizz farming, gotta vibe check for real and grindset mode to less gassy talk ‘cause this gonna get delulu, cheugy, and cringe in the future. #KindaCringe @TheTrolleyGame - @byDanDans #TheTrolleySolution

New blog! The current AI industry is a bubble and it's undeniable now. It's going to pop, but what will AI look like after that? It's definitely not going away. I lay out my prediction for the future of the tech. geekbravado.com/what-i-think... Leave a comment with your thoughts and subscribe!

New blog post! I shout out my highlights from the most recent #SteamNextFest: geekbravado.com/my-highlight... The event ends tomorrow so all the demos will still be up if you hurry! If you had any demos that stood out to you, leave them in the comments! My wishlist has fattened even more.

If you know, you know.

If you haven't, come check out the Discord (link in bio) to hang out with fellow big box preservation weirdos! It's a good bunch over there. Also, I restarted my old blog so if you want, maybe check that out and subscribe: geekbravado.com Good to be back at this! Much more to come! 💖 4/4

There have been a LOT of new contributions to the site and there's a BIG backlog to get through so you'll be seeing those start rolling out on the feed over the next little while. I'll be at a measured pace, no 30+ post dumps, promise. 😉 I've also got some scans of my own to submit! 3/4

Honestly, no one reading needs to care why I wasn't about. Life just got a bit hairy and I had to triage some things to the backburner to make room for other things that needed my attention. The good news is things are evening out and I can get back to fun stuff like this! 3/4

Well hi everyone! It's @pxa.ca, your humble BigBoxDB Bluesky posting dude. You may have noticed the feed's been pretty quiet for the last while and I haven't been too active on the Discord either. I hate long threads so don't worry, this won't be one either. 1/4

Only 1 of the 17 games I recommended in my blog post used it and only for placeholder assets for their demo. And I didn't even check them beforehand. I'm not good at a lot of things, but I can spot AI slop pretty well. geekbravado.com/my-highlight...

Getting so tired of web sites chastising me for using an "ad blocker" because I run Privacy Badger. It doesn't block ads, it blocks invasive tracking. If your ad network relies on that, that's a failing on your part. Don't lie about what Privacy Badger does because your ad model equates to spyware.

"If you want people to look at your content, you've got to promote it." Me: Posts link to blog posts in a couple of relevant places. Those places: "Stop shilling your own stuff! This isn't a place for self-promotion!" So what, you want me to make sock puppet accounts instead? Sigh.

Anyone got some #SteamNextFest demo suggestions? I've got a few downloaded, but not nearly as many as prior events. Not a lot's grabbing my attention but I know there's gems out there.

When you find out that despite hitting Save Draft, Hudu didn't save your draft and two hours worth of extensive documentation work you did last week just went poof. I hereby propose Second Weekend. Can I get a second?

Not sure why, but my most recent blog post about Xbox wasn't doing super hot, then got a bump last night that not only mostly came from Europe, but originated from Facebook, which I haven't used since 2009. So thanks to whoever posted that! Also, check it out cause I'm proud of it! ;)

OK, so I am still planning a #SteamNextFest blog post with demo impressions, but I have to shout out this one in particular: store.steampowered.com/app/4021860/... Trust me, just go try it. This needs more players!

Oh man, how is it another #SteamNextFest already?! In the past, I started a thread here listening out the demos that stood out to me with little blurbs. Well, now I got that shiny geekbravado.com thing so Imma' do a post later this week with them all! Subscribe to get it when it goes live!

New blog! Xbox is destroying itself and I believe it's because of one thing: The AI bubble. I go into detail about why and what I think will happen when (not if) the bubble pops. Please share around if you like it and maybe subscribe for new posts in your email? 🥰 #xbox #gaming #videogames

No. Way. I will end up paying way too much to go to one of these shows and I don't care. youtu.be/koiX_Wspatw

@deck.blue Not sure if you get notifications of new comments on Patreon or not, but I wanted to send you my question here as well in case. Thanks.
