Watched: Suikoden: The Anime S1E1, Hometown 🍿

I’m a little torn on this one. There are moments where the music almost gets there, but the OP and ED are just not very good and they’re clearly holding back on using Suikoden bangers. Animation and design are pretty good too. Looking forward to more.

I got my first adult points in a long while: troubleshooted the conditioning unit

Today I learned that, yes, cranking your polling rate too high on a mouse can and will mess up games not ready for it. Fixed all my camera issues with GW2 and I’m feasting!

I really can’t wait for the PVE extraction shooter renaissance. PvP is cool and all, but it’s nice to have PvE as a different approach vector to a game that will swallow your existence.

First couple hours of Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave led me from being confused by the game’s setting to digging Theodora’s entourage more than I expected.

The art explosion of Wumpus getting murdered is cool but I sense that it’s working in Discord’s favor somehow

Reading this is just blowing my mind. Pyrowave is in the steam beta channel and it’s going to be SO possible to have an insane experience streaming from one device to another

Also, my Guild Wars blanket came in! An incredibly rare and lucky raffle win for me.

The end of GW2: Visions of Eternity ending touched me in a way that only very, very old games can manage.

Fourteen years of incredible map design and passive storytelling. A MMO where you rarely feel the friction of other players. Almost every map is active to this day and everything has its place.

Why it might be good that you got waitlisted for the Steam Frame

A high school group accidentally added my number to their group chat for months and I’m waiting for them to notice their mistake.

I’m waiting for one of them to complain at “me” about the group project before I unveil that I am an elder millennial.

Watched: Double Fine PsychOdyssey Season 1 🍿

This is a life-changing work. An unparalleled glimpse into gamedev that completely reorients how I view the human struggle, sheer complexity and scope of games. It’s really a must watch. It will mellow you out as a critic and enhance the games you love.

I really can’t understate how much whiplash I got from Blizcon announcements. Every single good thing comes with some weird monkey’s paw curl and it’s driving me insane.

Oh my god it is happening today. The first new Starcraft thing in FOREVER

Watched: THE GHOST IN THE SHELL S1E10, EPISODE 10: BRAIN DRAIN iii + GHOST COAST + EPILOGUE 🍿God, I am going to miss this show. A window into a time when anime existed less as an amalgamation of tropes and more like a monolith of singular art.

Oh, Final Fantasy Resonance demo is GOOD GOOD. This is the red-rover RPG us oldheads have been chasing for some time. What it lacks in subtlety, it makes up for with absolutely unrestrained flash.

Watched: Inside Moves 🍿

This film is unbelievably good. It makes you YEARN for a family like this at a random dive bar. It just oozes authenticity, warmth, dread, and hope at so many junctures.

So the secret to the OP1 mouse isn’t really the mouse switch pack, it’s bending the mouse button stabilizers a little forward (or down I guess). Up is more tension and less clickability closer to the palm, down is less tension and clicks everywhere up the mouse.

Oh man, this week’s Yani Neko was something else, lmao

Once again enchanted by Vampire Survivors DLC.

Real eternal game, DLC costs nuffin', always has banger tracks, and runs on everything.

Stenography is such a crazy thing man. I’m trying to learn how to do ARTSEYIO for one handed typing strats and it kinda just dawned on me how hard chorded inputs are.

We’re in a FGC moment similar to when Mike Ross left the scene because people are showing their ugly and inauthentic side in droves. Nobody wants to hang out with a bunch of guys trying for their hit tweet, especially when it’s over a game that your peers made.

Unfortunately I am getting worse and worse at detecting AI slop w_w

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 11:08:39 -0700

Mihoyo coming out of NOWHERE and dropping Elden Ring 2 what the fuck

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 14:38:38 -0700

I absolutely cannot believe we are getting an official Alien Breed re-release in 2026.
