If you’ve reached this page, you will find that my BlueSky is filled with maximum peak autism and too much obsession with Miis.
Oh, and also Nintendo & Sonic.
I also do YouTube when I want to.

Am I a hardcore shill for a game if I already have a game I already own on the same system digitally, but proceed to get a physical copy of that game anyways?
…cuz I kinda regret getting a few games on my Switch digitally.

Day by day, I consistently debate selling my PS5.
The only reason I have it is to get physical games that have release throughout this generation.
Theres is genuinely nothing I am looking forward to playing on the console. Nothing.
This is my last PlayStation. I’m done.

I know opinions are gonna differ on the Ocarina of Time remake…
But please don’t say it looks like AI…
Just cuz it looks bad doesn’t mean it looks like something a machine generated.
Criticize the art direction, not how it looks like they didn’t try.

Is Nintendo World Championships NES Edition any good?
I skipped it because I thought it was just a worse NES Remix, but I’ve been getting weird Nintendo World Championship nostalgia lately, and seeing people compete in this live on-stage at a con was pretty exciting.

I’m going to be playing this for reasons I can’t get into quite yet, but this is immensely conflicting because a gaming themed Season is all I’ve wanted…
But Epic Games is super blatantly a Generative AI super fanwhen it comes to development and this… feels like it doesn’t hit as hard as it should.

I wanna make a video about why I always choose Mario in multiplayer/party games despite numerous other character options existing, but it feels like no matter what personal perspective I share, it could be seen as like… being too sensitive to the “bet you’re fun at parties” joke

I’ve been thinking deeply about it for the past few days, and I think Sony pisses me off more than any video game company right now, except for maybe Ubisoft & EA.
PlayStation is genuinely just fuckin’ dead to me, and Xbox is rotting in a corner. No reason to bother with ‘em.

Am I the only one that puts some of their raw gameplay footage on their YT account unlisted?
I do it so I can look back on my own footage while I’m away from home as I write scripts.

Any faint desire of me wanting to get Halo Campaign Evolved died when I found out that you have to sign in with a Microsoft account in order to even play the game. A singleplayer game that can be played entirely offline.
No thanks.
Just require that shit for leaderboards.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions.
Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

I went to Classic Games Fest for the first time this year and uh, wow it was an exciting experience.
I met THE Charles Martinet, THE James Rolfe (AVGN), THE Barry Evans (owner of largest Sonic collection), and got… a few games.
Would gladly go again. Time ‘a my life.

I haven’t seen every season (I’m up to World Tour) but I feel like Total Drama is one of those franchises that most definitely did NOT need more seasons using the same characters.
It’s such a lightning in a bottle concept that nothing that came after even compares to Island.

To be honest… my hope for humanity dwindling by the day doesn’t surprise me.
But AI is making me feel like garbage. Ever since the tech was perfected, the era of raw art, skill, and talent is turning into corporate laziness.
It’s not a tool. It’s an easy button. Soulless.

I had a dream last night that a new Crash Team Racing was coming out, but all of the major mascot franchises; Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, and Mega Man were all part of it…
…seems like that’d be more of a Sonic Racing CrossWorlds thing.
Anywho, I’m excited for Year 2!

If Sony stays true to physical game production ending in 2028, they’re likely going to push back the PS6 since a lot of folks will not be buying it anytime soon, both out of boycott and due to it being too expensive.
They’re gonna wait until digital sales go up.

I mean, I gotta agree with all of this.
The second the rest of physical media production is gone, I’m most likely done.
Gaming is as hopeless as it’s ever been, and instead of grieving about the modern industry, I’d rather appreciate the history of gaming that’s been around longer than me.

I've been through the 5 stages of grief with all the news about the industry lately and I'm calmly calling it quits. I'll still be around playing physical media but when even Nintendo backs out I'll sit back and enjoy what 40+ years of talented people have already made
