I netmaster a fledgling site called Old Man Phil's Place, where I'm aiming to bring back the armchair media reviewer website from the better days. 41. Always annoyed at something. https://oldmanp.neocities.org/

PlayStation users didn't even have time to figure out which movies are missing from their libraries before Sony dropped this news about the physical releases. They have brute forced their way into meme history.

And here I was starting to think, "Alright, maybe it makes sense for GTA VI to be a piece of paper in a box, since the size might be too giant huge to fit on a UHD disc." But no, this is about to be EVERY GAME. Even Bubsy RPG won't get burned on a disc anymore.

And right on the heels of a massive digital purchase purge. Sony is just blatantly going, "We're so serious about that fine print in your EULAs that we're actually going to enforce it. Whenever we want, when you least expect it. Expect us."

I'm watching the 'Dirtier' version of Dirty Work for the first time. So far, it has a different vibe from other R or 'Unrated!' cuts I've seen, where the added footage killed the pacing. The new stuff feels like it belongs there. It feels...complete?

Every time I replay Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, I always go in thinking I'll 100% it this time. By the end, it's, "Alright, I've got a billion dollars, there's 4 story missions left, and let's see...I didn't do Chiliad Challenge or Quarry Missions? Let's just end it and move on."

Also fell into the usual quagmire of following a map precisely to get all 100 spray tags, only to end with 99 and that final elusive one somewhere in a remote corner of Los Santos. I'm gonna have to put the YouTube guide video next to me and go through it, very slowly, until I correct the error.

Struggling to decide if I don't write in the evenings because I'm tired, or because I'm lazy. 2 hour round trip every day, 8 hours of work. "You must do an hour of SOMETHING when you get home," my conscience insists. But by the time I get home it's almost 7. If I write for an hour it'll be almost 8.

Halfway through the monster count in M10 and almost out of ammo and hope. I'm about to dig out the ol' Doom II Battlebook to find all 18 hidden ammo stashes because Refueling Base can eat my dingus.

I vowed never to get political on any Internet thing, folks. So when I say this disrespectful, draft-dodging fuck who dares to AI slop himself into uniform has likely never played a level of Doom in his lifetime, let alone seen combat...I mean that strictly as an attempt at wit!

That said, I killed the final boss in Persona 4 Golden. But there's still hours of content to go until Spring, including the bonus Shadows and the final-final boss on the last day.

Rewriting and revising an old review for posting. I didn't realize how badly it needed fixing until now. I hope no one saw the old version and made a judgment about my writing style. Oh, the anxiety's back.

I am glad I found this platform. I was going to make a TwitXer as an account for my website, but when I found out that not only do you have to register to read anything, you have to PAY to Xweet—yeah, I'm not doing that.

You are up to date.
