October traditions I’ve adopted over time: watching Over the Garden Wall, ParaNorman, and Night of the Living Dead. (I have Romero’s entire franchise now!) I also like to play The Walking Dead Telltale series, too. This year I’m replaying the second game as well as Michonne.

someone on the runescape subreddit posted about having 30,000 in the game and... i genuinely think that's more hours i've put into playing every video game ever. yeah, i'd be mad, too

While I can play Ages from memory without looking up any guides at this point, this was the first time I played it as a linked game! Usually, I play Ages first, then Seasons, so it was cool to see the minor changes to the story with the incorporation of Zelda and the Subrosians. Overall, best game!

My September game was The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages! This was my FAVORITE Zelda game as a kid, so it was AWESOME to revisit it. In comparison to Seasons, Ages is the more creative game. It feels more original with its puzzles, and time travel is just cooler than changing the weather. Sorry!

Jagex posting how RuneScape: Dragonwilds is not living up to their visual expectations on the Nintendo Switch 2 is so funny to me because I genuinely did not notice any major issues with resolution or visual fidelity lol

Ok I’m having an amazing time playing RuneScape: Dragonwilds already. Who could have ever guessed I’d be woodcutting on a Nintendo Switch 2 one day? Certainly not me when I was in 8th grade!

Man, I love this game. If I played this in my childhood, this would’ve been so magical

i give myself structure through projects and lists, but i always make sure there's some wiggle room

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 08/09/2026

I finally finished the Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons!… so now I can start Oracle of Ages like I originally intended. I never played it as a linked game before, so I thought it’d be fun—especially since I went and got all of the rings possible

What a wild moment in video games I get to be a part of

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 02/09/2026

Hehe my current save file of Oracle of Seasons using a Hero’s Secret from a save file from the Switch. While I am playing on an emulator, I did put that file on an actual cartridge so I can get the GBA exclusive rings. Later I’m gonna use ring secrets to get those rings back onto the Switch lol

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 02/09/2026

it matters a lot to me that these are physical games in my possession. equally as important to me as my save files on the nintendo switch classics service apps

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 02/09/2026

for a long time, i was really resistant to emulators but i gotta admit, once the delta emulator dropped and i started using operators from epilogue, my physical game collection exploded. i bought so many more games than i ever would've considered and i plan to at least try them all. i won't resell

⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

I wanted to play Zelda game, so I booted up what I thought was a linked game of Oracle of Ages. Turns out I was playing a hero’s game instead. I forgot I had played through Seasons as a linked game already lol. So I’m playing through Seasons to get a code for Ages lmao

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 24/08/2026

Man, I can only imagine what this is gonna look like by the end of the Switch 2 generation. … I don’t imagine anything hitting over 1000 hours like Pokémon Sword lol

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 24/08/2026

Wild to see Animal Crossing: New Horizons fall one more slot thanks to Pokopia. I know it’s only a matter of time before Pokémon Legends: Z-A overtakes it as well lol

Saw someone comment on a thread saying that it’s okay to pirate games not available for sale, such as every Pokémon game from the 3DS and before. Somehow, I also think the Venn diagram of people who support that idea and the people who didn’t wanna pay for FireRed/LeafGreen is a circle

010

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 15/08/2026

I wanna argue that it makes them feel like different games. Playing Pokémon Red is not the same as playing Pokémon FireRed, even. But that’s what makes playing both so cool and worthwhile.

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 14/08/2026

playing other games every year. Now, with Pokémon Bank closing in a few months, I figure it's time to go back and wrap up that project finally. I can't imagine it'll take toooooooo long, but I know I'm missing quite a few Pokémon since I was less thorough when I started lol.

carkus8 @carkus8.net · 14/08/2026

Okay, so since I started collecting video games again, I played through all of the main series Pokémon games. By now, it's been a few years. And over time, I wanted to create a living dex where Pokémon come from their original debuts. I haven't been working on that project much since I've been...

When I was 8, I was filling out an “about me” questionnaire for my third grade teacher. I wrote that I was “good at playing video games.” I would then spend the next two decades proving myself wrong ✌🏼

Y’all ever catch three hundos in a row? Lol Wildest two minutes of my Pokémon GO life. What good timing for that guaranteed hundo Mewtwo

Still thinking about how as soon as I was able to write as a kid, I immediately started talking about video games lol

I am SURE there’s a photo of me somewhere playing video games as a kid. I have yet to find it but I am almost positive there’s one somewhere
