Oh look, it’s a trailer for a thing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBjL...

I think one message that’s not getting enough play going into midterms is that we’ve slashed social programs, science research, environmental agencies, etc to the BONE and yet our national debt has exploded. How do we have less AND owe more? Where is the upside?

Right now, at 10 pm, it’s hotter than the forecasted high temperature for Friday. And it’s humid. This sucks.

I wish I could sit down with the team leaders at Team Asobo. I’ve now platinumed all three Plague Tale games and they are so close to pushing through to that next level. Just a few tweaks and I really think they would be on par with mid-Uncharted Naughty Dog and I so badly want to see it happen.

The wife’s best friend lives in Texas, has never had lobster, and is coming to visit in October which means I get to audition lobster places to find a good spot to take her. I do not object.

I’ve never seen a game so intent on having the post-game ruin the experience as Dragon Quest VII Remake. Nearly 20% of the items are locked behind a chance minigame. I was at 36 hours when I finished all other elements. I’m at 54 hours and I just finally unlocked the last thing.

Our Ops Manager brought in a bunch of books for his bookshelf, a pastiche of graphic novels, classic literature, and things like that”History of Hip-Hop,”. I was talking to him & he pulled one off the shelf & said “you’re gonna love this.” It was @mudron.bsky.social ‘s Star Trek TNG coloring book.

A few weeks ago, one of the neighbors at my office had a crate delivery. The side said “Longway Construction” but, because the crate was half in, half out of their loading doors, all that was visible from our back door was “LONG CON” And I wish I had taken a picture. What an apt metaphor.

For as bad as things are right now, for as toxic as the gaming community has been, for all of the pain and suffering and war and disenfranchisement, there is light. Thank you @gamesdonequick.com, @spikevegeta.bsky.social and especially @msf.ca for the reminder tonight.

Just finished Adventures of Elliot and I gotta say, that was an absolutely charming game. I think some quality of life changes would really help in making it feel like it respects my time but it’s another win for the team behind Octopath Traveler!

I can’t tell you how free it feels to not care at all about GTAVI. I know y’all care and that’s great but not having to be a part of that mad rush to preorder and clear my schedule for release is really nice.

Feeling the need to develop a toolset strictly designed to replace the best of what humanity has going for it that also destroys the natural resources humanity needs & is already running short on & forcing it on humanity (who wants nothing to do with it) is the absolute worst of humanity. I hate AI.

I gotta say, I know there’s a lot going on between the Epstein Files, the World Cup, Iran, threats to @doublefine.com and other XBox-owned indie studios, and the reflecting pool but the lack of chatter about the season finale of Widows Bay tonight is alarming.

On my YouTube account, I have liked exactly four videos: @hbomberguy.bsky.social’s plagiarism video the Making of Shadow of the Empire a behind the scenes on Little Big’s “bananas” video and Tarzan Boy by Baltimore. Yeah, that feels right.

If there was any question about what kind of person I am, I just washed down my sleep meds with a 20 oz Red Bull. Hey @redbull.com , I really think this kind of behavior warrants a sponsorship. Goofy races, gaming, legit sports are covered. How about competitive sleeping?

It’s Saturday night and I’m trapped under a kitten. Help?

Sometimes, you want to see people lose big but you don’t have the authority to do it and aren’t even sure it should be done. When in that predicament, it might be wise to give them enough rope that they do it themselves. I’m hoping that’s the case. I swear this isn’t about politics in any way.

In the last month, I platinumed Pragmata which was great, Mouse PI for Hire which would be better with some quality of life updates, Vampire Crawlers which was somehow just as addictive as its predecessor, and now I’m on to South of Midnight. It’s a good time to be a gamer.

In Lake Forest, CA, the gas was $6.50 a gallon this morning. $55 got me a little over 8 gallons where it got me almost 12 gallons this time last year. I would love to see a thread where everyone calls out how much they pay at the pump compared to a year ago.

I turned a coworker onto @benpaddon.net ‘s @jumpleads.zone and he is blasting through it! If you haven’t done so yourself, you should. It’s like a cozy nerdy audiobook in bite-sized chunks or, as-coworker Adam calls it, the best era of Futurama for your listening pleasure!

@tomsteyerhq.bsky.social was making good headway on the “I was an evil billionaire but now I’m a good billionaire who wants my legacy to be more than my money” front but man, his attack ads have really killed that momentum, especially since they are against other dems which just feels gross.

I can’t believe I’m saying this as NOTHING about any of the marketing materials lit up any part of my brain but I am absolutely loving PRAGMATA. Like, more than RE9 or just about anything else I’ve played this year. Holy crap, @capcom.bsky.social. Well done.

@sarahpodz.bsky.social @kelslewin.bsky.social @haleyfax.bsky.social @gameonysus.bsky.social In regards to this weeks loaded gun, I have a killer mortal enemy story that I don’t want to share publicly but I’m more than happy to DM if any of you are interested. It involves celebrities and entitlement!

I love the absurdity of Kingdom Hearts but I understand why so many really just think it’s stupid. I don’t disagree and love it anyway. That being said, @whimsicalphil.bsky.social, here’s the clip of Goofy’s “death.” It’s a few minutes and you will cackle throughout, especially at Vengeful Mickey.

@awintory.bsky.social dude, congrats on the win. I played the game for the first time last week. My wife watched a while and said “this is beautiful. And the music…” It was a pleasure to see her light up when I told her it was your handiwork and now she wants to pepper you with even more questions.
