I was born the same week the Famicom was released. I am doomed to feel old every time Nintendo celebrates any kind of anniversary.

Now we just need a hangover drink called You’ve Met With a Terrible Fate, Haven’t You?

I had a really rough period where everything was going wrong with school, work, family, and relationships, so when video games failed to give me something to feel successful about, there went another Xbox 360 controller.

In the final release, it’s just Salazar in drag.

Good to know. I’m probably going to do just that. I recently had to do the same for SOMA when getting killed while humping every control panel and door to find the right exit lost its novelty, and my experience improved drastically. No shame in baby mode if the game’s no fun without it.

I greatly enjoyed the Monster Hunter section of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and I’ve wanted to pick up one of the games in the franchise at some point, get the whole experience and not just the weird crossover side-story experience, but I’ve taken World off my Steam wishlist after accepting that I was already…

I narrowly avoided someone doing the same thing about 15 years ago. I just saw this weird bright section on a road with poor lighting and no posted speed limit, so I slowed down. When this guy who was apparently just lying down on the street saw that I was being cautious, he stood up and started walking toward my car,…

Ni’ce”

I’m glad GDQ has been able to make the transition to online-only during the pandemic, and there’s something to be said for the way this makes it easier for runners whose games require weird peripherals or elaborate setups, opening the door for runs that just wouldn’t have been feasible in the original format...

What’s weird about Kranch in particular is that, while the other logos are two-colored, with the color divide matching where its component words were brutally amputated and then sloppily sewn back together, that leaves us with a cool blue “nch” from ranch and a bright, tomato-red “kra” from... krachup?

Yeah, I was following the development of the 64DD throughout parts of middle and high school, largely for the announced Earthbound sequel that was slated to be released for it. I had starman.net bookmarked so I could see all the developing news about this game that was going to be released for the N64 any time now.

I now want nothing more than a Celebrity Jeopardy! episode hosted by LeVar Burton, with Donald Glover as a contestant.

Doesn’t hurt to ask the office ordering/administering the medical services if they know of any resources. I schedule surgeries, and if someone says they’re worried about how they’re going to pay, I have a few general suggestions (a department that can help fast-track a Medicaid application ahead of surgery, a number…

Lillian: Your mom’s a bread bowl

I mean, they’re basically the Kardashians, but with corgis. They don’t really do anything, somehow the little that they do keeps being problematic in a way that doesn’t deserve being amplified by the media, and for some reason their baffling fame occasionally comes with the privilege of meeting with sitting…

Sandrock can’t come out next week. Portia just consumed an entire month of my life in November. I’m not ready for this.

I’d be interested to see what the longest successful break I took in the middle of a game was. Maybe a couple months? Any longer than that and I’d wonder why I thought it was funny that I was having OLDGREG face off against Ganon. Generally, if I abandon a game, it means I wasn’t really in the right mindset to…

I’m pretty sure it is on Switch online. Hell, now that I think about it, I might dip my toe into the game on my lunch break today.

I also started out with plans to build a PC last year before deciding to go prefab. I’ve never built a PC before, the prices on the more expensive components were fluctuating, and when I was honest with myself, 2020 really wasn’t the year for learning a new skill. Over half a year removed from that decision, I’m now…
