I’ve only had it for a week and am pretty gentle with it. I wouldn’t say the build quality is as good as a Nintendo device. But it definitely feels like if you treat it well it should be okay

It’s called the Ayn Thor. It’s an android based device with ds form factor! There’s different configurations with some able to emulate up to 3ds all the way through switch and play steam

Replaying KH1 for the first time since og ps2 launch. This game is so fucking charming. Feels totally different than the rest of the series. It’s honestly kind of wild seeing how much they stripped away from the DNA of this IP with subsequent releases in favor of incomprehensible lore.

Another reminder of how persistent sexual violence is within our society. I’m sad to have platformed Geller on Origin Story, and also appearing on his podcast. He never disclosed this past to me. That episode will be promptly removed. I hope the victim can find some semblance of peace and justice.

Truth. Battling it out day in and day out for crumbs only leaves you hungry. I'm sure you'll land something that better aligns with what you want. Always down to help 🫡

Beat greater nue last night in onimusha. Kinda ready for the game to be over already lol. Boss fights are fun but the rest is so, so derivative it’s painful.

Digging onimusha so far but the story in this game feels so underwritten. The narrative design feels rote too. Great combat and cinematic direction though.

on this day in 1995, scientists discovered bisexuality. happy 31st birthday to all my fellow bs

cover of newsweek magazine shows three mysterious people standing together in dramatic shadows. the text reads “Bisexuality. Not gay. Not straight. A new sexual identity emerges.”

Playing through Xenoblade Chronicles:DE for the first time and the music is so moving. Brings me back to my childhood days and all the jrpgs I grew up with in the 90s. A balm amid our current moment.

Finally playing through CP2077 alongside Xenoblade on Switch 2 and 2077 is v fun but damn it has some of the worst tutorialization ive ever experienced in a game. Truly baffling. Needed a content designer so bad.

This is a thought that makes sense in my head, but: There's a lineage from Paste Games to sites like Waypoint, Remap, Fanbyte, Kotaku, Game Informer, etc. where they would not be anything like they were if it weren't for Garrett's "If you have an idea, just go for it" pitching and editing mentality

Jesus wept. I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence. Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

Prince of Persia the Lost Crown is such a charming lil game. Don’t care for the story at all really but presentation is great. Love the classic pop puzzle feel and combat is fun

CECOT has a max capacity of 40,000. There are over 50,000 Black men in solitary confinement in the US today. Black men are most likely to be falsely arrested and charged while 100% innocent. You can be in jail for over a year before your trial. During that time you can be forced to do slave labor.
