I enjoy a game with a good story, but games these days are all trying too hard to be the next big epic theatrical experience. Sometimes it's nice to just blow sh** up! 😁 Burnout Crash! was great for that! Sadly it's forever digitally locked to PS3 and XB360. It deserves a port to modern platforms!

Post the last four games you played.

Hot diggity, I got the Xbox 360 I won on auction today and got the backwards compatibility working on it! I can play my Xbox copy of Burnout 3 again! 😆 (I also own a PS2 copy, but the Xbox copy is the superior version).

I'm not a huge movie buff, but I could watch The Princess Bride 7 more times. 😄

This is my first time ever participating in this #randomgamesaturday thing but looks like I came up with Cratermaze for the TG-16. This was actually a reskin of a Doraemon game for western audiences that were not as familiar with the iconic earless cat.

The first one just sings to me! 🤣 🦿

A game on my (Xbox) wishlist is ALWAYS on sale, and it's ALWAYS one of the same 3 games. 🙄 However, I'm not inclined to actually spend money on Xbox anymore after the direction they've taken in the last 2 years. I won't be selling my Xbox, but what I have for it now is probably all I will have. 😑

If you were to die and become a ghost...could your body still become a zombie? 🤔 Would that mean you could be in two places at once? 🤔 Could you fight yourself? 🤔 October brings many questions.

Decided to do a 36 hour fast this weekend! I'm just hitting the 18 hour mark, and my body is REALLY ghrelin me to eat right now (s'a little hormonal humor 🤭). I did this fast last weekend too, and it went pretty well! Supposed to have great metabolic and detoxifying health benefits.

Dear email scammers, You realize the more fraudulent emails you send to the same person, the easier they learn to recognize them, right? Just sayin'; it's obvious you guys are desperate, but upping the frequency is just shooting yourselves in the foot. 😂

You know how sometimes you have a brain fart moment and can't think of the word you're trying to use? I have a strange habit of making up random substitution words when this happens. 😑 Was trying to think of what groceries I need to pick up tomorrow...bread is now called "gunfibules." 😓

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

It's-a summer time!

I never did get to seriously play Vagrant Story. I remember renting it once back in the day and playing about 5 mins of it before returning it. Giving it a fresh go now. I do miss those crunchy, wobbly, PS1 3D graphics, though. 😄

Sooo, I went ahead and got the platinum. 😁 Turns out I was REALLY close to it. Most of the remaining trophies I needed were things I could easily do around the crash site.

Sega has made nine of its mobile retro re-releases free before they’re delisted. Each game has been made ad-free and had its in-app purchases removed. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sega-ha...

I'm sorry, WHAT?? These things are in no way connected, Steam! You been drinkin', buddy? 🥴

Hope everyone that got a Switch 2 gets their money's worth out of it. I decided to buy a MISTer instead. 😌 Good gaming to all!

It's true. I search online almost daily for health info, and I've noticed it's getting harder and harder to find reputable material. YouTube in particular is full of AI-narrated trash videos from sources with no credentials a all. I wish YouTube had a block feature. 😒

I raided the electronics recycling bin at work (which we have permission to do) and acquired a box full of discarded cell phones! 😄 Some were completely trashed. Many were cracked, but functional. Several were in perfect working condition.

So I hear SteamOS is bein released on desktops "very soon." My laptop is not a "gaming" PC, but I can't wait to install this on it anyway just to give it a try out. 😁 Larning Linux was the primary reason I bought it, after all.

I really hate Hotmail/Outlook. I get a flood of spam emails every day and have had to create dozens of rules to mark them all as junk, but somehow they STILL come through to my inbox. Meanwhile, they auto block legitimate emails, I tell them those are NOT junk, and they continue to block. 😐

What video game will always transport you back to your childhood?

It's time to buy more food for my cat, Sashi. He's getting on in years and his teeth aren't in the best shape (he lost a tooth while I was in the hospital 2 years ago). So I sprung for this dental care cat food. $43 😑, but if it helps him, I s'pose it's worth it. Anyone ever try this stuff?

I'm looking into modding an N64 in the near future! 😃 But first I have to find a cheap one for sale because I don't own one. 😅 I read about an internal HDMI mod that can potentially upscale the console to 4k! I only use 2k monitors, but screenshots look pretty nice!

Does GameStop not ship anymore or something? I swear the few times I've gone to their site over the last 2 years to search for stuff, "ship to home" has been unavailable. 😕 Company's gone downhill in recent years. 😔

When I was a kid, I wanted to run my own game company when I grew up because I loved video games SO much. As an adult, I wish that had happened more than ever just so that I could push back against the sheer greed these corporations display today. 😑

Had a random thought... Coca-Cola has neither real cola nut, nor real cocaine in it anymore. 🤔

Do you drink your water ice cold? No you dont! Because fun fact: if water is ice cold...it's ice. 🤨

Hey y'all, I have a bit of a personal plea. I've been let down today by a client for some work and that's left me in a bit of a urgent bind. Picking up issues and bundles of our zine would be super helpful. Otherwise, my ko-fi and PP are there as tip jars. ko-fi.com/retrobytes paypal.me/curicuri

Coffee & cheese. Coffee & cheese. Breakfast of champions. Coffee & cheese. ~🎵

Hum...despite my stomach feeling full after my 190 calorie frozen lunch, I still have a craving to just buy a bunch of food and gorge...as I used to do from time to time years back. 😑 Proof that food cravings have nothing to do with hunger. It's definitely a psychological thing. 😔

I'm agnostic, was never raised Catholic, but RIP Pope Franky. 😔 You had your flaws, and I highly question some of your later rhetoric, but you did do more to try and bring people together than any other pope in my lifetime.

Hum...Coke is doing this thing again where they put random people's names on their bottles. 🙄 Dunno who thought this was "fun" but I really don't want to buy a bottle with someone else's name on it. So I guess no Diet Coke for me for a while. 😒 Yeah I'm probably weird, but I can't be the only one.

Hi friends, I know we're on the brink of collapse and the world is on fire, but I've finally gotten some of my spring and summer #artprints up! I hope my art can at least give you a bit of peace and happiness today. #artsky #digitalart artbyinky.etsy.com/listing/1897...

Hahahahahahahaha!!😂 *deep breath* AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!🤣 "Eternal optimist?" Me?? I don't think ANYONE thinks that about me! Don't get me wrong, I'm not all doom and gloom, but I try to look at most things realistically. Good is good. Bad is bad.

So...*pant* *pant* I just...*pant* *pant*...jogged a little just now. *pant* *pant*...Just up and down the hallway at work. It was hard. I've lost a LOT of strength in my legs since the operation. *pant*...but the fact that I can jog at all is great! Would NOT be possible on my old prosthetic! 😁

So it looks like thhere are a number of Switch games that can't be played, or have problems playing on the Switch 2. Games that REQUIRE Switch joycons will need actual Switch joycons to operate and cannot be used with Joycon 2s. N provides some PDF lists as well. www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-sy...

Ok so official US price is $450 or $500 w/ Mario Kart. More than I hoped, but about what I expected. 😑 Welp...I def can't save that in 2 months with my current expenses, but I can start at least.

Sooo, ye. Depending on the price, I'll probably get a Switch 2. ...if I can save enough money in time. (Spoilers: I cannot. 😑) Credit would probably be my most feasible option. Not sure I want to go that route, though. Suppose it depends on how much it costs.

DK Bananza looks neat. May be the first DK game since DK Jr. that I'm actually interested in.

I hope most of the Switch 2 games work with my 8bitdo controller. I don't want Nintendo's Pro controller. I want my emovable batteries. 😒

The mouse + gyro together looks really cool on the Switch 2. I need more surface space on my desk for it, though. 😑

Welp...guess I was premature in assuming Switch 2 let you play Switch 2 enhanced versions of games at no extra cost. Turns out you have to pay for the upgrade. Gave Nintendo too much credit there. 🙄

Rabbit Rabbit! It's April!

It is 5:00! The weekend, she is become arrive at last! I can now de-insanify slightly, for a day and one half of a day. 😮‍💨

You know what's one of the things I miss most about gaming in the 90s? How colorful and shiny CDs used to be! 😅 I could sit and stare into a pristine new disc's hypnotic foil and jus be enthralled by the pretty colors. Of course the actual games themselves were pretty great too. 😌

Today is pay day! Now to take care of my groceries and bills...

So I guess Bluesky doesn't let you post your own animated gifs. ...Bummer. 😑
