@sabotagestudio.com I hope after recent revelations, that you will consider at least privately apologising to The Completionist for patching him out of your game based on two drama merchants. geekbravado.com/drama-mercha... Won't be doing business with your studio again until this is addressed.

@friendspersecond.bsky.social I don't expect to see Jirard back on the show, but I hope after recent revelations, that you will all at least privately consider apologizing to him for immediately taking the side of drama channels over his. geekbravado.com/drama-mercha... Have a good weekend.

I've posted an update to my recent Drama Merchants post to include The Completionist's recent update video. geekbravado.com/drama-mercha... Short version: Guess what? I was right! Their accusations were BS. Fuck those two into irrelevance where they belong.

Played both The Finals and the new @huntshowdown.com event tonight. Got an awesome double kill in Hunt, despite how rusty I am and captured some of the amazing chaos The Finals is known for. medal.tv/games/the-fi... medal.tv/games/hunt-s...

LinkedIn is famous for being full of motivational slop and phone sentiments, but I came across this today when I was looking for something there and it's very true.

Whoa, @steampowered.com changed the top UI on the web site. I gotta' say, this is pretty slick! First time in a billion years the site's changed and I immediately like it more! Nice job!

Repeatedly insulting your own customers (Randy Pitchford) is fine, but making bad taste jokes on your personal account about a politically charged event gets you fired. The double standards in the industry never cease to amaze and infuriate me.

New blog! I wrote about @therestartproject.org and @r2reurope.bsky.social's recent position on the ending of Windows 10 support, one that I think is not only a bad take, but one that will ultimately harm their noble cause. #righttorepair #windows10 #microsoft geekbravado.com/right-to-rep...

Over 3 trillion in market cap, getting destroyed in this hardware generation and rather than maybe take reduced margin or even a small loss to try to gain some of that market share back, they raise prices on stuff people already didn't want twice in one year. It's like they don't care of they lose.

Idle curiosity for you folks: If someone at your workplace writes you a reply to an email you had with concerns that you spent a long time properly crafting and their reply gives you the answers you want, but was clearly and obviously written by AI, do you care or no? 🤔

"[Social media] is already proving to be the human equivalent of when you put a dolphin in a tank at Sea World and its own echos bounce off the wall and slowly drive it insane." -friendlyjordies This is the most stabbingly accurate metaphor I've heard in a long time. People should watch this.

I messed up my 12 year old Corsair K70 Lux and bought an inexpensive Redragon with knockoff red switches until I could eventually build a custom keyboard. But today, I replaced the switches in the Redragon with Akko Creamy Yellows. This honestly might be all I need! These are diving! #ClackClack

@lucyjames.games Listening to the latest podcast and I also played and Roger based on your recommendation. My brain rarely lets me cry even when I want to and that was the case here too, but damn that game suplexes the feels. A friend loved it too. Good find!

$90 (because you know it will be) for remasters of the Mario Galaxy games without motion controls is a steep ask, but those are also some of the finest 3D platformers ever made 🤔

Last year, my YouTube videos and streams suddenly stopped without much in the way of explanation. I wrote a blog post talking about what happened and what the future holds for it. geekbravado.com/life-remaste...

@thegamebusiness.com A bit surprised that in your discussion of the OSA that the risks around the private companies that are being contracted for the verification didn't come up. These are companies no one has heard of, and several of which have already had breaches being given PII by force.

The @gamersnexus.bsky.social Black Market AI GPU video is finally back up after getting falsely copyright struck by Bloomberg. Even if you've already watched it, go watch it again muted so it can get back in the algorithm. This video's important! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H3x...

Age verification? Having to answer a bunch of US-centric history questions to convince Leisure Suit Larry that I was old enough to play it.

@edzitron.com You've likely heard of these reports already and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't already have a post int he works on it, but I'd be curious for your thoughts on these theories: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7krR...

Is anyone else having issues with @deck.blue? Since yesterday, it's been just giving me a spinning circle.

Now THIS is how you win the last round of World Tour in The Finals at the last POSSIBLE second! 💪 💥 medal.tv/games/the-fi... Hands were shaking after this!

@deck.blue Hey there! Anything up with the service today? I just seem to be getting an endless spinning blue circle. 🤔

New blog post! A consortium led by a YouTuber has bought and relaunched the iconic @wearecommodore.bsky.social, after years in rights purgatory. I have concerns, but this also looks like the best shot a revival of the brand has ever had and I'm rooting for them! geekbravado.com/commodore-is...

Oh good gaming gods, Captain N. I was such a Nintendo fan back then, I taped the whole first season before realizing how awful it was and that it wasn't going to improve I think I have this show to thank for my being cynical and untrusting of advertising most of my life.

If you don't care about Xbox achievements, this won't mean much but if you do, I managed to pull this off in Retro Classics, which I didn't know if I ever could cause it's so hard to get in the top 50 on a leaderboard for a free thing with thousands on it. Look at that TA ratio! 🤯

Hellllll yes! Been waiting for this for a long time and I can't wait to dig into it!

I just backed On The Go - The PSP's unofficial history on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/2o4...

Seems like I picked a good day to subscribe to the Ghostboard analytics service. Did not expect that!

@tailsfiraga.bsky.social Hey there! Replies are disabled on your thread, but I just wanted to say thanks for reading. Geek Bravado's just a hobby, but I'm glad my stuff resonates with people sometimes. Cheers.

I've had a bug up my arse about drama focused content creators for a while, especially the ones who act like they're something else. I decided to air my frustration, using the recent and well deserved implosions of Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamers to make my point. geekbravado.com/drama-mercha...

Finally finished Andor season 2. This is peak post-original trilogy Star Wars and nothing else comes close. Fite me!

Everything going on in the world and all I see clogging my RSS feeds today is slop about Taylor Swift's engagement. And we wonder why people are so increasingly media illiterate today. 🙄

Tried out Wheel World and I think I'm going to like it, but I find it funny that my first thought after starting it was "Man, I would I could climb steep hills with that little effort." 🤣

Didn't even realize I did it, but crossed 300 reviews made on Steam! And I try to make my reviews generally detailed, not just a single sentence. If you like smaller games, leaving Steam reviews is no kidding, one of the best things you can do for them. Don't skip this, it matters! 💪

Anyone out there know a solid home/room designer tool? Nothing crazy, I just want to input measurements for my basement and create mockups on how I'd like to redo it by placing objects and the like. More to make the plan, but if it did 3D views, that's OK too. Paid is OK. Not looking for CAD here.

Me and my bois were on FIRE in The Finals tonight! The Floater Gas In the Back StylezXP Slidin' Up In Those DMs Further Mastering the Art of the Gas I post a lot of cool clips from Hunt: Showdown, The Finals and other stuff if you wanna' follow my Medal profile. 💪

I had a feeling in the back of my mind that something would happen to the Gamers Nexus black market GPU video so I saved a 4K MP4 copy of it. Since it's been falsely copyright claimed by the scumbags at Bloomberg, feel free to grab a copy to watch or reupload right here.

Professionalism and technical perfection are great, but sometimes I miss how memorable TV's technical glitches and broadcast blunders could be. www.retroist.com/p/when-tv-st...

Could it maybe be one that doesn't rely on a bunch of critics who are completely out of touch with the audience? Wouldn't that be nice, eh? geekbravado.com/we-all-deser...

And yet another physical release I'd love to have and won't buy because it comes from these scumbags. Stop partnering with Limited Run Games! geekbravado.com/limited-run-... @nightdivestudios.bsky.social @pripyatbeast.bsky.social @atari.com

I never played this back in the day and it's on my Deep Backlog for when I start streaming again. A remaster would be a freakin' delight!

Elsa just chillin' in da' hood.

I spent a chunk of change in this I probably shouldn't have right now but as a proud torch bearer for the awesomeness of the TurboGrafx-16, I had to have @bitmapbooks.com's collector's edition of their PC-Engine box art showcase book. What a beauty! Brilliantly packed too.

Played a bunch more #Battlefield6 Beta with friends tonight. While I still stand by the concerns I wrote in my blog, I am starting to click more with the way this game does things. Curious to see the next beta phase.
