I really gotta get to that game soon. It’s been hovering near the top of my backlog for ages and seem to always choose something else...

Still Disco Elysium!! I’ve finally leveled up to the point that I’m passing >50% of my skill checks, which is fun.

Exactly this. None of those lower-level employees were responsible for the state in which that game launched. In fact, I bet they worked their asses off to make their little slice of it the absolute best it could be given the short runway the board gave them. It’s entirely the decision of the board to give them that…

I finally shelled out for a quality UPS/surge protector for my home theatre set-up shortly after getting my PS5 because I was scared of exactly this kind of thing happening. I use rest mode constantly, so it’s worth it for the peace of mind that I’ll at least have an opportunity to shut it down properly if the power…

I was lucky and managed to get a PS5 on day one, but I am still incensed about all of this stupid bullshit with bots buying up inventory the millisecond it becomes available so assholes can sell it at a huge markup. It fucking sucks and genuinely hope that everyone who wants one can get a PS5 soon. But mostly I want…

Oh, that sounds moderately terrifying, as only an unresponsive console can be. Hope that gets resolved...

Yes, those are still “sales” despite the blatant douchebaggery...

There’s a sleep mode bug? What is it? I’ve had mine since launch day and have never even heard of this...

I think that definition of backlog is bound to lead to anxiety. I tend to define it as (1) games I’ve bought and haven’t played and intend to play, (2) games I’ve played but haven’t beat and intend to beat, and (3) most games I’ve wishlisted. The intention aspect of (1) and (2) gives me a pretty easy out — for…

I’m eligible for the AZ vaccine, which is being administered through pharmacies, but they’re sending 99% of the supply to hotspots in the province. Totally the right decision. It’s just frustrating being eligible and knowing that I’m likely gonna have to wait a few more weeks for my turn.

From what I’ve heard most people will feel crummy for about 24 hours. Drink lots of water before you get the shot and maybe pop an Advil or something to alleviate symptoms, but from what I’ve been told the first one is not that bad.

After a solid stretch of incredible weather (for April) — which coupled with work being an absolute gong show, meant I basically didn’t touch Disco Elysium for the past week-ish — the rain is coming back with a vengeance this weekend, so I should have some time to get back to it (as long as I can avoid coming into the…

I said this yesterday, but Destiny is the basically the only reason I have a backlog at all. I got sucked in pretty hard — and it was fun! I wouldn’t say I regret it, but staying on top of the grind is part-time job. The social aspect of it and being on the leading edge of the level cap, with all the good gear and…

I never really had a backlog until Destiny (and its sequel) came along and ate up 90% of my gaming time for several years. I bought a bunch of games during that time, but couldn’t find the time to play them. Even still, my backlog isn’t all that bad — probably about 20 or so games if you only count the ones that I…

Gah!! I got stuck on a puzzle quite early on in Baba is You and never went back to it, to my great shame. Such a great puzzle game. I might just have to look up the solution so I can press on...

It’s finally supposed to be actually warm this weekend, so I’ll mostly be riding my bike and hanging out with friends while we drink beer in a park. I will probably fit in a bit more Disco Elysium whenever I can. Now that I’ve figured it out a bit & understand how it works, I almost want to start over to be a bit more…

Yeah, I have been using this feature since day 1. I’m confused by this post.

The smart money is on you, I believe.

I’m excited for “Ash vs. Character Creator: Round 746" the continuation of one of my favorite series of blogs...

Yeah, after that whole ordeal I’m very happy for IOI that Hitman 3 seems to have sold so well. I doubt they had a lot of options, but cutting the cinematic team and focusing their resources on the game itself turned out to be a very smart move (rather than half-assing the whole thing, which I guess would’ve been…
