Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 21hYikes! More than half my life. Retronauts is the podcast that convinced me there was something to this whole podcast thing. It got me through some tough times, set me on the road to creating my own shows, and introduced me to good friends. I'm not sure how I would have survived college without it. 000

Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'm light on details, but I just heard from a family member who's trapped at work because someone pulled a gun. I think the danger has passed without anyone getting hurt. Regardless, my stance now is the same as my stance was before I heard about any of this: Repeal the second amendment already! 100
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's October, and that means a month of Letterboxng horror movies! I kicked off the month with Videodrome, a very normal thing to watch first thing on a Thursday morning.letterboxd.comWhy Is Oct. 2026 Afraid of Seven?Oh, no! More horror movies! It's October, and that means it's time for my annual attempt to watch, rank, and maybe write a bit about a minimum of one seasonally appropriate movie each day for a month ... 100

Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's just occurred to me that I still don't know if Nintendo Switch 2 Game Cards have a bitter coating. Sadly, I haven't upgraded to the next generation yet. If you have, please give your games a lick and let me know how it goes. 000
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 26/09/2026A Castlevania thought: To my knowledge, horror iconography has been pervasive throughout every game in the 40-year history of this series, including the spin-offs and I think even the cameo appearances. Is there ever any actual horror? A moment that invokes dread? A jump scare? ANY heebie-jeebies? 140
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I rarely use a cellular telephone or tablet computer, but I tried a few minutes of that free, 40th Anniversary port of Castlevania, my first experience playing an NES game—or any traditional, button-based action game—on a capacitive touch screen. This is a prank, right? Why would anyone do this? 020
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I played my first Monster Hunter demo all the way back on Wii. I've read things, I've watched things, I've spoken at length with fans, but I couldn't get a clear concept of what these games are, so I waited for a sale and earnestly committed to giving it a go. A full day later, I still don't know. 100

Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Before falling in with the disreputable likes of Yul B. Sorry and Robin Banks, she was just a girl... A girl who would grow up to steal the Eiffel Tower. Rather than once again dismissing her actions as villainous, the upcoming reboot finally asks, "WHY in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" 000
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I've been thinking about how James Talarico's response to baseless lies about him being vegan was, "No! I'm a real Texan! I eat piles of animals every day! I'm the anti-vegan!" No one should be surprised by how easily he sold out trans people, and no one should be surprised by his next sacrifice. 190

Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Last night's ABC News broadcast*: • Kids born c.2020 saying they'll "never forget." • One of the students who was in the classroom where Bush read "The Pet Goat." • A look at a Lifetime movie about a 9/11 survivor who believe she was saved by an angel. • Absolutely no current events. *Not a joke 000

Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Upcoming games for Nintendo Switch 2 and some Nintendo Switch, huh? Great. I guess the "leaks" about new Super NES games were fake, then. 100
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Happy Sega Dreamcast Day! Twenty-seven years later, I'm still finding weird, underappreciated games that I've never seen before, to say nothing of the hits, the homebrew, the unofficial ports, and unreleased prototypes. Don't know where I'll start today. Recommendations very much welcome. 110

Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'd probably feel better about Vampire Survivors if a third of my runs didn't end in a crash to the Switch Home screen. 000
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 01/09/2026There's a lot of commotion in the Times Square video, so I'm having trouble getting an exact count, but it looks like there are five or more police officers, as well as dozens of onlookers, surrounding an individual who has two kitchen knives. And this couldn't be resolved without shooting to kill? 100
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I've never used a recreational drug—not even tobacco or alcohol—and while it's not the biggest factor, the method of conveyance is part of that. I'm super scared of needles, so that's out. Up the nose could be exciting, but it's also freaky. Smoke is a mess. Pills are boring. Guess I'll stay sober. 000

Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I think it would be neat if, instead of raising the price of the Nintendo Switch 2, the Nintendo Switch 2's price was low enough that I could afford it. 010
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The thing about people with money and power, who would like to turn that money and power into even more money and power, is that most of them DON'T do stuff like this, which is irrefutable evidence that they are dumb. 010

Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 29/08/2026This is extra pathetic because the Amiga Boing Ball is a thing that already exists as computer code. It's been around for a bit. Anyone can just get the code that makes the ball boing. A.I. can't even steal properly. 100
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Next time there's new Vampire Survivors DLC, can someone remind me that I don't need it? This latest pack is fine, and the price is super fair. My issue is that it's still the same, enjoyable thing I have already done for literally hundreds of hours. I can stop now. 000
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I can't find a video, unfortunately, but NBC had a story about Grand Theft Auto last night that demonstrated exactly what I mean. The big takeaway was, "Video Game May Make Big Money," with the anchor asking an expert questions like, "So, have the kids had a chance to play this yet?" Fascinating! 000
Camp Crystal Jake Spencer @atsymboljake.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Actual, serious thoughts on GTA VI: • There's no chance I will ever buy it. • Let the workers have their union. • ...Not that a company with limitless resources and guaranteed success should need pressure to treat workers fairly. • Rockstar should license the engine and assets for better games. 100
