I need them to slow down on releasing video games. I only have so much time.

It's ... definitely what it is. A Christmas zombie apocalypse movie musical. It's usually on free streaming services. Looks like it's free on Tubi right now. It bounces around. But if that sounds like something you'd enjoy, you will probably enjoy it.

I also think Anna and the Apocalypse is a lot of fun, but that's more of a Christmas zombie movie musical. (I have weird taste). Shaun of the Dead is definitely part of my Halloween rotation. I have not seen Train to Busan... but I might need to check that out.

The year is 2026 and Weird Al is still alive and still awesome.

You are awesome, Sora. Thank you for always being so positive.

That's real. I felt it when I first played it. But the honest answer is you need to go EVERYWHERE. Just how the game works. (I say this as a proud owner of a CIB copy).

I'm not defending anyone. This culture is abhorrent. But it wouldn't shock me if someone didn't see the messages because they were already at the hospital having their stomach pumped from alcohol poisoning. It's a toxic and stupid culture all around.

To be fair, there is probably a portion of the 50 that did not see the texts at the time for some reason. Not everyone is on their phone 100% of the time. THAT said, I do imagine many of them did see it and ignored it. 50 is a lot of people. Not everyone was asleep, or too busy to check their phone.

As an older gamer, seeing posts like this just makes me think, "The kids are all right." You rock. But there's a ton of great games while you wait, or you can revisit Switch games with new upgrades.

That's awesome. Hope you enjoy your journey! And it's so rewarding when you get to a point you can really start playing your favorite music.

Not only is it never too late, it's very healthy for your brain. Your brain WANTS new experiences. It's like exercise. It keeps the brain focused and sharp throughout life and prevents dementia in old age. Try a new game. Try an instrument. Try learning a language. Just keep your brain active.

This is my sister. I could absolutely see it. If she was a ghost, she would be redecorating.

Well, in one of the dumbest things I have ever done, I was startled by my landlord this morning and FELL OUT OF MY BED ONTO MY TAILBONE. I'm fine. I think it's minor. It's just one of those spots that even a minor injury just gets very sore. Please pray for my bum to heal quickly.

Airport pizza. I had awful airport pizza on a layover at some non-chain random dining spot. My exact thought: Pizza is always tolerable. But, no, no it wasn't. I can't explain it. It was just cheese pizza, but it tasted nothing like cheese pizza. It was awful. Also expensive, because airport.

Hope things improve quickly. I love travel but I hate the actual "traveling" part.

I did not manage to get tickets to see the Zelda 40th concert. Really hoping Nintendo sees the demand and pushes more dates and locations.

Yoko Shimomura and the Zelda concert are both coming to Chicago, which isn't ridiculously far from me! But they are both coming in winter, which means there's a chance we get hit with storms and I couldn't even get there. (Chicago will be fine, but I'm coming from Wisconsin)

If I may say, you are not being political. You are choosing to be a compassionate ally to people who are easily maligned for political purposes.

I have no idea what is happening here but I'm going to decide it's sexy for +1 sin.

I'm taking it slow. Still waiting for more thorough guides. I love the game, but I hate missing out on that stuff. I especially want to make sure I can find all the paralogues. But I do know that you can replay chapters. Not sure how that works, but maybe you can still get what you missed?

It's okay small man. I will share my Dr. Pepper with you.

I mean, I suppose it's a great time to be alive if you're really into anime feet.

I like the idea, but that's basically a full-time job at this point.

Only a few hours left for the Nintendo Customer Appreciation sale. I'm curious. What Nintendo-published games do you think are must-haves that most people sleep on? Skip the big major stuff. Spinoffs, odd games, remakes. Looking at Astral Chain and The World Ends With You, but not sure.

I saved hundreds of dollars by not caring about GTA6.

Square is fumbling their approach to Switch 2 so badly. Upgrade paths with save transfers would make them way more money.

Has Sony fallen so hard now that "Sony behavior" is a phrase? I kinda like it. (I mean, I don't like what it means, but it feels appropriate)

010

brinmat in his Zelda Era💙🏳️‍🌈☸️ @brinmat.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I honestly wonder if some reviews were inflated because of how much clout Sony has.

Wish me luck, please. Today at work, it might be a rough day.

That's just it. It should've been easy, and potentially a GOTY contender.

brinmat in his Zelda Era💙🏳️‍🌈☸️ @brinmat.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I'm not sure that's the issue. It's the lack of creativity. But you might be right on the solution. An original IP could force them to be creative.

I have some of the music on my playlist when I drive. The battle themes are incredible.

I heard they're good games, based on the fact that I've played both and particularly Lufia II like 80 times.

My therapist: "Be careful about too much escapism." Me: "You think I'm going to be more sane dealing with all this crap?"

I was initially a bit disappointed they didn't do the full Quintet trilogy and minimal to improve Terranigma, but this Lufia news makes me think they're actively just trying to push these classic lost games on modern consoles. I'm okay with that. It's really incredible someone is doing it.

Excalibur II sidequest in FFIX is awful because of that. You need to get to the endgame within 12 hours! Not worth it to me. I'm not a speedrunner, especially in a story-rich JRPG. And even if I did try, what are the odds I could actually pull it off? Oops, sorry, 12 hrs and 2 minutes. Try again.
