Thinking about Mixtape and how a game made around the songs I listened to as an awkward teen would have an awful soundtrack. Just the worst shit of the 90s. An entire level of me pretending to like Limp Bizkit because I thought Fred Durst was hot and wanted to appeal to the goth-lite kids at school.

This right here is why banking on nostalgia is such a tricky proposition. Because it’s so easy to fall into an unrealistic but idealized version of what you’re attempting to capture. aftermath.site/mixtape-revi...

@cjisbadatlife.bsky.social tells us about his time as a night-shift clerk in his review of inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories. As it turns out, "many" is very subjective. maxutmost.com/review-inkon...

When the game absolutely wants your ass dead. #blutoid

My thoughts, as a minor investor in Nintendo, about the financial results: 1. Sucks about the price increase. 2. Donkey Kong Bananza should have higher sales. 3. Fuck Sam Altman and the rest of the AI losers with a rusty spork. 4. People love them funny games. #blutoid

Quoth the Raven, ”Eat my shorts.”

Considering the surprise Direct yesterday for Star Fox, and the fact Nintendo is set to release its earnings for the fiscal year sometime tonight east coast time, I would not be surprised if we got another sudden game reveal sometime today. #blutoid

On one hand, Star Fox (S2) does nothing to push the franchise forward given that Star Fox 64 is just a reimagining of Star Fox (SNES). And the characters look like they fell out of a "IF NINTENDO MADE STAR FOX IN UNREAL ENGINE 5" terrible creator video on Youtube. On the other hand, laser go pew!

Sometimes you just have to treat yourself to a new electric griddle so you can make chocolate chip pancakes (with added fiber because my ass is 41).

What I thought I was getting: A fun, sassy legacy sequel to one of the most enjoyable and re-watchable films of the last 30 years. What I got instead: A two-hour reminder of how much journalism sucks right now and the people who make it suck. Also tassel jacket. All hail tassel jacket.

Question for #Blutoid Evangelion fans: Is Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 different than Evangelion 3.33? I ask because there are deals on the Rebuild Of Evangelion Blu Ray discs except for 3.33. I can’t find a clear answer on this.

I had to verify my identity to pay my phone bill today and one of the questions they asked was "Where did you live in 1987?" I was 2-years-old in 1987. They might have well asked me what city I was conceived in. I'd have just as much chance of getting it right.

Catching up with season two of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and it continues to be the best worst show on television. I love it as much as I hate it. It's as fun as it is stupid. It is, at best, a mid-CW show with a gargantuan budget and I want six more seasons of it. #blutoid

Damn you, David O. Russell, for ruining my streak. #LastFourWatched

What do you mean I can't export media from Tomodachi Life?! What's the fear, that someone is going to create an island called Epstein Island and fill it with kid-looking characters and Trump, Prince Andrew, Zombie Jeff and record all the romantic anti—oh wait, yeah. That makes sense. #blutoid

We are officially one month away from the five-year anniversary of the reveal trailer for #DragonQuestXII. Fingers crossed for something at Dragon Quest Day on May 27. #blutoid www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUAm...

So on my last trip to see my family, we tried playing Uno the "correct" way by banning stacking. It was boring as shit. House rules are what make board games great.

Searched for a good Mortal Kombat mirror match gif for a post where I talk about when you eliminate all other obstacles in front of you and the only thing keeping you from success is yourself, but Google provided nothing but shit results. Instead, here's a pic of a basset hound-terrier mix. #blutoid

Extremely happy Speed Racer got a re-release on IMAX. As wonderful as this film looks on my television, it's luminous on the big screen. A confection for the eyes, the Wachowskis leaned into color like few other filmmakers do—especially contemporary directors. Just brilliant. #blutoid

So that picture looked a lot brighter on my television screen. Should have used this instead. #blutoid

And that's the Alan Wake 2 DLC done. Like the brief sneak at Control 2 they tossed in there. Had to turn on infinite ammo and health but I play Alan Wake for the story, not the tiresome combat. If only I could make Death Stranding more bearable to play. #Blutoid

And that's the end of that adventure. A solid 7/10. Great exploration, touching stories within the larger narrative, and plenty of treats for fans of A Link to the Past. The echoes certainly offer up plenty of creative opportunities, but also break the game and eliminate most challenges. #blutoid

Record Store Day haul. A lot of copies of that Elizabeth Taylor single still at the shops I visited.

Really happy that Tomodachi Life is back in my life, but a cursory glance over at the Switch 2 section was bleak. I'd wager 90% of the game cases said Game Key-Card or a Switch 1 Game Card with upgrade code. The latter is sufficient enough, I guess, but it's better than the key-card shit. #blutoid

The gameplay doesn't always work (the Sword of Might is a crutch) but I am having a blast exploring this version of Hyrule. It's a great update on the classic Link to the Past version, bigger but not huge and seemingly packed to the gills with stuff to do. Still have a few more hours to go. #blutoid

I'm only 41 and I keep finding myself doing old man shit, like those new homeowners from the Progressive ads. And I don't even own a home. On Saturday I tried to help a burrito shop worker. On Sunday I almost gave a stranger advice. Last night I had a snack of sardines on butter crackers. #blutoid

Hope y'all had a good weekend. This one took me a bit—had a hard time doing the underrated/overrated options—but it's about as accurate as it's gonna get for me. #blutoid

Nice to have it priced at $40. Wonder if there will be any other first-party Switch OG games after this one. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

These will look very nice on my bookshelves once I have some bookshelves in here. Doubt I'll ever use the amiibo functionality. #blutoid

Invincible VS is plenty bloody. Not sure I'd consider it all that fun.

Just glorious #ArtemisII

I think the theme for me this week was “White women in varying degrees of trouble.” #LastFourWatched

When I moved here this was $2.80. Pretty sure I left California to get away from prices like this.

The way Octavia Spencer walks into frame had me howling.

Don't let the bastards win. I know it can be tough. I know it can feel hopeless. I know the odds are stacked against us. But that's how they want us to feel, like we have no power and they're inevitable. So don't let the bastards win. Keep going, even if it's only to spite them.

Feels really good to finally delete LinkedIn. Not as good as it felt getting rid of Facebook 15 years ago, but still nice to be free of the endless mailing lists that fucking website put me on.

How on earth is this a real ad in 2026 and not something I saw on an account dedicated to ugly shit found in catalogs from the ‘90s?

Taco Bell is the best fast food and it’s not even close.

I was at GameStop on Sunday and there was a guy trading in an Xbox 360 and I just love the idea of someone rocking that in 2026. Wish I stuck around long enough to find out how much he got for it. #blutoid

I hate this so much #blutoid

I know people are hoping for the rumored Zelda remake to be Ocarina, but hot damn, give me Oracle of Seasons with this art direction and I’ll be in heaven. #blutoid

Went through my Switch physical collection and pulled out 14 games that I know I’ll never actually bother with. Off to my nephew they go. Decided to finally pop in Echoes of Wisdom to see what it’s all about. #blutoid
