Back home from MassiveLAN with the awards I received for being pretty decent at some games

Exactly at 8PM EST I fell asleep early which is a rarity

Did You Just Put a Red Coin in the Fucking Souvenir Penny Press

THIS IS YOUR SIGN IF YOU NEEDED IT — START DRINKING ALL THE ALCHOL IN YOUR HOUSE ND REPLAY PRIME 3 RIGHT S NOW

Valve should showcase the power of Steam Machines by making an official Counter-Strike tournament played entirely on them. I have high hopes for the future of BYOC LANs with these and am seriously considering picking one up if it can run CS2 well enough to compete.

Nintendo Store App reported playtime, this feels just about right in terms of spread but a lot less overall than I thought across the board

This was absolutely just a robbery

I’m sorry how tf did Larson have the drive of his life when Denny held the race on talent and merit the whole time

Tonight on cs_office...

Small thread but it's amazing how much a clear headspace and healthier day-to-day routine amounts to so much more impact in Counter-Strike. Just a few days ago after a weekend where I slept the entirety of it, I really couldn't buckle down for my ESEA match on Monday and everything felt off.

There were things I was going to do this weekend, but I've been asleep for most of it (19 hours yesterday + 7 hours today) It's this time of year, I swear...

Fantastic update, but I feel horrible for the knife and glove investors. Case investing still remains the way to go for the long-term.

"MR. PRESIDENT GET DOWN!!!" type of Inkay

This is the video game equivalent of putting morbius back in theaters

A Fesh Pince quote that accurately describes most of my 3-day weekend nights.

Is Drag x Drive really that bad? Seemed like a neat sports game with a unique control scheme but I wasn't around for the playtest so I never got to play it...

I want to watch one episode of the new King of the Hill season a week, but saying as how I have already seen multiple screenshots of new episodes just floating around, I feel like it's a farce since by 10 weeks I will likely have been exposed to all of the plot points and jokes in images.

New GBA eReader cards... in 2025!

I genuinely have little to no hype for PLZA (will probably get it at some point still) but Champions seems to be great and that is what I'm most excited for. 2026 is a long way off and I am hoping that they release it with a good meta intact off the start (Incineroar being in previews is concerning)

Someone should have freed this guy, he did not want to be in this lobby :(

The return of Overpass into Active Duty signals the Wood Meta (tm) where the three holy maps of concrete CT holds (Inferno, Train, Overpass) become attainable. If there was ever a time for me to play CS2, it's now.

Saddest Torkoal award goes to:

Losing on level 974 of level 999 in TGM 4 is a special kind of "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" I've come to expect

See, that's 7 Rare Candies that I got without having to directly fight with the low EXP yields of Johto pre-E4 Much more efficient for leveling to use a Pokéwalker

Optimal leveling up in literally any other Pokémon game, pre-E4: Go find high level wild Pokémon or trainer rematches and get good EXP yields Optimal leveling up in HG/SS pre-E4: Go touch grass and use an event-exclusive course lmao

Goal this month for games is to train at least one more FireRed "all species in Hall of Fame" team + get my NORMAL time in TGM 4 below 10 minutes. Both goals seem extremely easy but will actually require a fair amount of grinding

I think I want to try to play Mario Kart World tonight in a private lobby, anyone interested?

I will be able to post more sometime later this week but I am assisting in hosting two classic gen Pokemon events at Long Island Retro Gaming Expo in New York! One event is going to be for Black 2 and White 2 and Funfest The other event is a gen 3 "Orre Colosseum" rules double battle tournament!

The code for my Mario Kart World lobby is LVT L14! Will be waiting for ~15 minutes to see if anyone joins.

3 hours from now! 🎮 If I don't get anyone, I'll cancel. Will wait for 15 minutes at 7 PM EDT for people to join and we'll be doing no CPU versus until we get 12 people, then we can do some Knockout Tour.

Looking for #MarioKartWorld players on this site. I want to try and open up a multiplayer lobby for people to join via code and would like to see how much of a turnout I'd get posting a code here. Will post the code as a comment to this post sometime around 7:00 PM EDT tonight!

Hell yeah

Does anyone know where the Mario Kart private versus team lobbies are being held? Or perhaps where a large overarching Switch 2/NSO multiplayer community is?

Deck vs. Switch arguments are good until you realize that so long as people have gambling addictions w/ Counter-Strike, everything on Steam can be free. Switch 2 for exclusives & out of the box easy local multiplayer, Steam Deck for everything else imo

A cruel joke, told in stats

shiny hunter bluesky is wild, still learning things I had no idea about

The full gen 3 collection!

Wanted to store my Pokémon collection on HOME before the move to Switch 2. I really need to cut down on the amount I have saved here...

Classic Offensive did not deserve to be officially cancelled even if it breached ToS. It feels like the same sort of thing that happened to Project M, where a mod was designed to fix flaws of the game but the developers of the original and the subsequent entries weren't receptive to the feedback.

You all don't understand, they could just be completely silent on Legends ZA other than maybe teasing a new mega or two. This needs to be Champions news or at least I need it to be Champions news.

Me when I walk into a retro game store and find the biggest waste of tla ton of money while the responsible side of me is thinking of all of the better things to do with said money

Influx of posts about retro games and prices fueled this post. I have been attempting to find local early gen Pokémon players, but I'm really concerned about the fact that despite copies of those games selling, those and others are likely just sitting in a few peoples collections as an investment.

I wonder if I'll ever have my one out of only tens of people worldwide moments in gaming akin to the amount of people that have completed TGM 3. I guess maybe the 1,000 score Funfest medal in Pokémon White 2 is the closest? My HLTV page (existing) as a runner up?

Sucks to not be able to do what you enjoy and just sleep after work... unless you really like sleep, as I guess that's just optimal at that point.

in times like these I am reminded: azk he is the north american player but the titan he is the french stars

Quite possibly the hardest star to obtain in the game

I think I'm going to start posting a bit of my inventory in Counter-Strike 2, as I always have wanted to talk about my overall skin choice but rarely ever get to, plus I can have a pinned post on my profile.
