i read earlier that digimon was the sequel to tamagotchi and... that makes total sense but i've never put it together

fuck Epic lol

submitted the retro gaming panel I did at kokoro to kitacon. welp

addicted to updating my os

I've raised enough funds from selling games to import a copy of Parasite Eve now. There's almost too much choice. I don't usually look overseas 😅

I sold my elitebook about 6 months ago and bought a thinkpad to replace it recently. When it arrived the touchpoint and associated buttons weren't functioning at all. I spent about an hour trying to fix it in software but it turns out it just wasn't plugged in lol, oh well

Been laughing at this for 10 minutes straight

The most culturally impactful game of the last 10 years looks like this.

Metal Gear Solid 4

At the end of the day, at least DLSS is optional.

nvidia unveils "mind blowing" new upscaling technology

Fortnite is a very stupid game. #Suisei

No surprises from me

This is the most expensive video game I've bought new (which wasn't a limited edition) and the data isn't even on the card lol

Human artists, use only once piece to convince people to follow you! 🪐💚

Byeguard

I've now finished the four MachineGames Wolfenstein games. Youngblood had problems but it wasn't as bad as I initially thought, I just had to engage with the RPG elements. The final boss was pretty annoying but I managed to take him down on my third attempt

I ordered my first android retro handheld the other day, a 4 button Retroid Pocket Classic. Pretty excited to receive it, I mainly wanted it for SNES and PS1

there are many better ways to transfer photos from my phone to my desktop to create ebay listings but linux handles doing this over bluetooth so much more smoothly than windows that it is actually funny

rip Myrient

I haven't bought any retro games so far this year. I should really get off my ass and start refining my collection

very amusing to see people act all smarmy about paying for FRLG when you can "just emulate them". you could also do that in 2004 gamer

Crazy shit happening at xbox rn

I played Pokemon Legends: Z-A for 15 hours today 🫠

Damn, this is huge. I'm so glad they're not on NSO. Being available on the eShop should slash the price of used copies too hopefully.

The Old Blood feels quite short, I guess that is by design. I should be able to wrap it up around the 5-6 hour mark

Red Viper though

I finished my second book of the year, Lolita. Interesting read though it kinda lost my interest towards the end. Glad I read it I guess? Going to focus on finishing Pokemon Z-A and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood for the rest of the month

Aww yeah MGS4

oh yeah, I broke a month on CachyOS. I still haven't tried to run any Windows software via wine/lutris lol

I downloaded hexchat for the first time in about 14 years... Why is Discord so bloated

From a 1990 issue of EGM: Toho itself actually published a (Compile-developed) Game Boy version of Godzilla - as an action puzzle game - in the U.S.!

I made a backloggd to track my physical game completion and... oh dear

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

I like how "buy a used ThinkPad" is still the budget laptop meta. I did that back in 2009 with my ThinkPad R51 and have had about 10 different models since. 😛

I completed Wolfenstein: The New Order over the weekend. I'm thinking I'll skip The Old Blood for now and go right into The New Colossus.

I got a new toy 😁

Going to sleep at 9pm is all well and good but waking up at 4am... Not so much

"PS4 game coming to Switch 2!" Okay I guess

I had a moment of weakness on Sunday and reinstalled Windows after my samba share wasn't appearing on vlc on my Google TV... Turns out it probably was working just fine and VLC was being picky with the smb version. I reinstalled CachyOS on Monday afternoon. I genuinely think I prefer it now

👀

"let people enjoy things"

Facebook recommending me retro gaming social media pages which ragebait by posting cex prices as if cex doesn't price in line with trends. Perfect for the out of touch retro gamer that hasn't bought anything in 20 years

I learned the hard way that I should have made a symlink for Steam. No harm done though. And I'll just leave secure boot disabled now.

til git clone and yay
