There's a streamer I occasionally watch that has said my name wrong every time for the past two years and it's my favorite bit that's only funny to me and I hope they never figure it out.

Long time Super Mario 64 goal finally achieved (a top 1000 time) - going to keep pushing though I think I can still bring this down even further.

Looking to play another mystery investigation type indie game (ala Obra Dinn, Roottrees, Golden Idols). What are some of the great ones so far this year?

So sick of these paid ads in my video games.

Letter from Sandy in Animal Crossing:

Doing well, Brak? Thanks for the letter. You seem kind of lonely, and since you wrote me, I’ve decided to send you apple TV. I hope you like it. See you soon! Sandy

I have two of these now - one I use for all my PC gaming and another version that I use for my actual N64 and they are so good. Every time I see a deal on them (which is frequently) I'm always thinking do I want a third?

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

We're so back. First PB in almost 2.5 years and I'm at the best skillwise I've ever been and capable of a lot more. Gunning for a top 1000 time in the category. (currently at 18:41)

This is maybe the first time I’ve seen one of these LEGO arcade machine sets and went wow that’s actually pretty good.

I’ve attempted a few times over the years and I think Satisfactory might have one of the least helpful tutorials in gaming. It skips or glazes over so many crucial systems and I never feel like I’m learning anything.

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

I went from being a daily player to a never player in the past year so I’m not confident they’re working in the right direction.

Watching Chef and then immediately making a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese like I deserve a Michelin star.

Had heard mixed things and started watching The Acolyte on a whim and honestly fresh Star Wars story with some of the best fight sequences. Wish more Star Wars stuff was independent like this instead of everything needing to be linked.

I’m so excited to follow along with this and see the differences between my list and his at the end. The N64 sure is a weird console!

Been so obsessed with Lorelei and the Laser Eyes all week that it’s giving me a false confidence that I should revisit Myst while taking in-depth notes.

Trying to get all the platinum medals in Blast Corps for the first time and this game still slaps. They gotta make another one!

Sometimes you gotta look up something in an old GameFAQs guide and just find the sassiest author to ever exist.

Steam Next Fest is currently in full effect and this one has proven to be the hardest yet to find quality games. This will be a thread of all the games I have added to my wishlist. Will try my best to update it as the week goes on.

It’s that time yet again - will be streaming Steam Next Fest demos for most of the week! If you are running a game or see any cool ones lemme know about them for consideration!

I’ve fallen off AAA releases so hard for gaming but FF7:R is my last bastion. Cannot wait to see how they close it out.

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

I feel like people don’t talk about this game enough. It’s a little janky at times but the charm and story made this one of my favorite “simulators” I’ve ever played. Don’t sleep on it!

Been inventorying all my digital games since the older generations are a nightmare to figure out what you own and it’s so funny having to scroll through seemingly infinite digital purchases/redeems just to dodge dozens of McDonald’s profile pictures or a McDouble Xbox Theme.

No, I don’t need to see the Brak Rooms. I already know they’re a mess!

Playing through the SNES version of Lemmings for the first time and this game always surprises me because every version seems to have a slightly different level list. Got to a level I’ve never played before in any other version.

As an N64 expert, this list is subpar and needs multiple corrections.

Starting to realize I only know where Olympic events were held if they had a video game based on them and then I can also deduce the year by the console.

Since the world is in Star Fox mode I have to remind everyone that canonically Slippy has an Uncle named Grippy Toad.

Usually when I finish a game jam I just do a blog post to kind of put a pin in it all but this year I decided to talk into a mic and make a retrospective of my Ludum Dare experiences. Really just for me but if you have any interest it's up now. youtu.be/Xv6mjv5F2HI

Played about two hours of Diablo 1 forgetting it’s a game with permadeath where you need to manually save and lemme just say I no longer have a character.

Played a couple days of inKONBINI - not sure if any other game has really nailed the tedium of stocking and facing shelves as well as it does (complementary)

There are such a ridiculous amount of indie games I have interest in that dropped this past week and it’s far more than I could ever devote my time to. On that note, will be streaming my first impressions with Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era tonight. Wish things were spread out a little!

Played both the Genesis and Super Nintendo Aladdin tonight and I still have the unpopular opinion that the Genesis one is slightly better than the SNES offering.

I faced one of my fears/anxieties yesterday and it went a hundred times worse than I could even have imagined. Honestly impressive.

Playing through retro games I couldn't beat as a kid makes me realize how much it was never the difficulty of the games but the lack of patience. Many of the old school games that people generally consider super difficult only take like 8-10 hours to learn.

Rolled some dice for a sound effect and somehow got all 6s? Is this a good or bad omen? (It was three dice)

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

The fun thing about game jams is if you aren’t very skilled everything takes at least twice as long so by the time the end hits it’s just exhaustion city. Already feeling so tired and halfway there.

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

I’m ill-prepared this time around but running it back for my fourth Ludum Dare this weekend. Gonna create something terrible if anyone potentially wants a game to play next week.
