I just installed the first this weekend. Gonna jump in to it soon. Played a few hours when it came out and got distracted by other things. This time I’ll commit!

I can confidently say you will be just as confused by the time it wraps up. Thus is the way.

I need a website where I can just plug in the name of a point and click game and know if I can permanently own my save or not.

@hoveringskull.bsky.social Been trying to reacquaint myself with Godot the past few weeks and been bingeing a bunch of your vids. Just wanted to say keep up the good work! Good seeing Godot content that isn't so dry.

Myst IV: Revelation has been pretty disappointing for the most part. It really takes away most of the things I enjoy about the franchise and replaces them with tons of FMV and voice acting that feel mostly unnecessary. Not sure if I'll finish out the series or not after this one.

Barbarian gotta be up there for the most tonal whiplash of any film

Its funny how similar this map and Cradle from GoldenEye are structurally

I’ve revisited this game so many times and still have never done all the gold cards in Rainbow Palace. Someday I gotta suck it up and figure it out!

I have strong Bomberman 64 nostalgia with it being one of the first video games I bought with my own money. Had an absolute blast collecting the costume pieces and playing multiplayer with friends and family. I’m always surprised when I hear people being mixed on it. For me it’s a banger!

Still awaiting the sequel 🐦‍⬛

I'd say put it on a flash drive and you can test drive it a bit running it off that before fully committing. See if it works for you.

I threw Mint on a dying laptop that I only use for light browsing and it's been mostly seamless but I have had a problem with the wireless card failing to wake back up any time the computer goes in to sleep mode needing a full reboot. A small inconvenience but every fix fails. YMMV on hardware.

I've now finished the OG 1997 version of Riven, moved on to Myst III: Exile, and read the entirety of the first Myst novel. I'm in too deep.

If the Number Muncher ever gets a job at the bank, we're all in trouble.

Thanks for the Quarterback Club request - use to endlessly rent that game as a kid and I haven’t revisited in quite a while. Was a bit of a nostalgia trip!

Buying it and filling it with mac and cheese.

What is life if not a series of notifications reminding me to cancel free trials?

I feel like Zordon is calling for me to recruit teenagers with attitude.

My laptop Linux journey has been my wifi card disabling everytime my computer goes in to sleep mode and having to full reset each time. I can deal with it but hooboy Linux still isn’t as user friendly as the enthusiasts want you to believe.

My hungry ass thought this was a slice of pumpkin pie

Went in for the mystery and puzzles and was a bit surprised that the world building and story telling is what really held my interest.

120

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Finished tonight and what a fun and well designed game. Very surprised I made it all the way through with no outside help. The reputation of difficulty is a bit overstated. Gonna tackle the 1997 OG version of Riven next - read that's the hardest of the series so we'll see if I can handle that one.

Playing Myst for the first time and this game still hits.

Unfortunately one in my entire state it’s pretty brutal in the middle of nowhere

Since no arcades around here have ever had a IIDX machine I kind of died off when they stopped doing home releases. Empress was my last one.

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

As someone who has been out of the game for a while holy cow I didn't realize they were already on 33

Made sure to go out and vote in the primaries today. Stay informed and let your opinion be heard!

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.

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

OK this game kind of a banger. I'm playing on hard mode and it's slowly going to drive me insane but I am ready for the challenge!

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Haven’t really messed around with any of the real low star categories tbh is pretty interesting tho

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.

Super Mario 64 16 star speedrun splits with a total time of 18 minutes and 30 seconds

Oh dang haven’t heard of this one hell yeah

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Haven’t played any of these thank you thank you

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Played the demo and thought it had potential. Kind of forgot that one literally just came out.

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

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?

Once I finished my NA game set I miss the chase and excitement of going to second hand stores and feels like a fun way to extend the hunt a bit.

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Do you have a pretty big collection of strategy guides? I think about starting an N64 collection of them but I feel like I’d really get in the weeds with varying quality and the amount of space it would take up.

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

This is the kind of item you pick up in a Resident Evil game.

010

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

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

Have you tried out the new Gobliiins collection at all? Played so much of the original trilogy as a kid and haven’t heard much about the new release they did.

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)

Super Mario 64 16 star splits showing a best time of 18 minutes and 46 seconds.

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

000

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I get being middling on this game but a 1/10 is insanity.

110

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

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.

000

braktheman @braktheman.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I was in to Avowed during the first zone and then started falling off once I started progressing through the second. It had good bones and I feel like a sequel could have become the better version of what it aimed to be. The game industry has so many problems right now. Devs deserve better.

010

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.
