The 'ol "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" routine never fails, eh?

Currently obsessed with jamming out to this new Blood Cultures track from the upcoming Skate Story www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xmf...

New awareness campaign

Ahhhh!!!!! Agent Cupcake pages!!! This includes the unicorn village, I’m really happy with the color scheme there 🌈

Bruh even the Ferengi have limits.

Here's my PRGE25 haul + an extra special arrival from @ashuraou.bsky.social who hooked me up with a Japanese PS1 game I've been hunting for ages!

Got one more photo op with an icon before I left PRGE

Snake? Snaaaaaaaake!!!

Front row for the MGS voice actor panel!

Portland looking real nice from where I'm sitting

Ready for them sweet sweet StreetPasses at PRGE this weekend!

Finally got around to hand sewing a bunch of patches on my WiP battle jacket in time for PRGE. Going for a Mega Man/robot theme. The back patch is an e-tank.

Collectors! Store owners! Hoarders! Help us out! @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is looking to source copies of this 1985 NES pack-in poster for fundraising reasons, and we need them asap. We already cleaned out eBay. Note that they need to be the ones that say copyright 1985, as pictured! Can pay!

So fun that part of my trip prep for PRGE is constantly checking the news to see if air traffic controllers will be available and if an unlawful military invasion has begun.

Canceled Game Pass, that's just too friggin crazy. Poor XSX is just my blu-ray player now since it'll handle Dolby Vision and PS5 does not.

It took private equity 13 years to kill Toys R Us, so EA has optimistically, what, 10 years left?

I didn't have "IRL Wolfenstein" on my PRGE bingo card.

True! plush.city/@JellyTBeagl...

After the got me back with Final Fantasy, WotC decides to go in for the kill. I hope I can make a Quark treasure-based deck.

Modbo 5.0 installed on a Japanese SPCH-7500 PS2 slim!

Can I interest you in some premium, slightly-used, capacitors?

Please, Earth, chill. We got enough going on as-is.

I've been cracking out on Hell is Us all day. Great game if you love exploring/world building/puzzles. Just enough combat challenge to be interesting, but not overly complex.

Debuzzin' that Vectrex... well, reducing the buzz as best we can.

WTF is this timeline?

THE FUCT OF PEPSIMAN

Oh heck yeah, latest Criterion update email bringing the goods!

Mine was $39.99 on clearance at Toys R' Us in 1998.

Shocked at myself for feeling surprisingly gatekeepy about the Virtual Boy.

Oh, and I see seasonal depression time has started to kick in as well.

Universe turning the weird vibes up to max today.

Street Score: functional minidisc player/recorder, with the headphone dongle, and a collection of someone's mixes + blanks! The true cyberpunk media of the future.

Kicking off spooky season with a trio of new games this week: Cronos The New Dawn, Hell is Us (loved the demo), and Silksong (for the Burton-esque vibes).

I mean, I'm not getting my hopes up, but I might be making a playlist to blast through the neighborhood just in case. Good to have on hand in either case.

Why are there no decent rips of video game tip-show-turned-game-show, Video Power? We need archives of host Johnny Arcade in all his coked-out glory.

I don't really like big conventions, and I'm already prepped for PRGE the following week, but hot dang if this doesn't got me daydreaming about planning a trip to NYC.

First game of Black Emperor since CAX @ The Detour in SF

Finally finished Lower Decks and I'm so sad there won't be more. Star Trek is never going to continue the post-DS9/VOY era ever again. I just need to see Sisko come back from the wormhole, man.

Go get it! This was the last game I worked on (as QA) before moving over to creative services. Brutal Legend is an absolute love letter to metal you can't miss.

RIP Ozzy 💔 Black Sabbath was one of the defining bands of my youth and my lifelong love of metal. Had the pleasure of seeing them live, and Ozzy solo, at a couple of Ozzfests in the early 2000s.

Don't mind me, just taking over the Black Emperor leaderboard at California Extreme.

"Post a song from the year you turned 12" First and only album I had to shoulder tap someone in front of Tower Records to buy this for me, on cassette, because of the parental advisory label. youtu.be/fWCZse1iwE0?...

Consent is important, DK!

A lot of stuff sucks right now, but at least we can all come together for @gamesdonequick.com this week!

My Death Stranding 2 pet peeve is folks putting signs in the middle of roadways/exits where you're forced to interact with them.
