iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yeah for sure, seems kinda useless unless you need a few very specific cards that are a bit hard to find locally… but then the shipping cost is too high for that to be viable lol

It’s not the /worst/ but the $16 USD flat rate shipping is only really worth it if you’re buying a lot. This is just the core engine for my primary YGO deck, the cards themselves aren’t that bad but I’d need to order at least twice as many for that shipping cost to be worthwhile.

These posts are like two weeks old. They took me like 3 minutes to find yesterday. Begging folks to do literally any amount of due diligence.

Never really gave ITYSL a fair go and then last night out of the blue I decided to watch the entire first season.

Getting very tired of the AI fanatics claiming they want “nuance” in the discussion and the nuance they want is always “I get to do what I want and you’re not allowed to be mean to me”

Look all I’m saying is that it’s unlike Nomura to leave a thread hanging like this.

I don’t intend to surpass it anytime soon, so I may hold that record for quite some time

I wrote over 7000 words reviewing every single individual game in the KH 1-3 Collection on Switch 2. Enjoy! (DDD is still the best thanks)

Just an incredible sentence for a company to type out and publish

I liked the bit where they straight up admitted it would be a worse experience and kinda just shrugged their shoulders

Yup that’s definitely how you eat a sandwich, ship it

They didn’t! And these were primarily American YouTubers and streamers. Absolutely baffling

Yeah for sure. I was very lucky to have a great job these last few years. Good pay, great coworkers, good support from the boss/es, tonnes of flexibility. Had enough to live comfortably with a few extras, it was nice. Then I got laid off and here we are 11 months later ha. Industry’s cooked sadly.

The sad thing is that rn I’d probably take that

Paddington is amazing and he WILL overcome anything that comes his way 🙏

Oliver Brandt @chocobalt.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Yeah when I was still getting stuff I’d give most of it away to friends and family, which usually does the trick, but I don’t think I’d hesitate to flog it on Facebook marketplace if nobody wanted it either tbh

This would be the highlight of my year

The best part of the Tag Force GX remake is that they seem to be making a lot of previously anime-exclusive cards real, which means there’s a non-zero chance that we get that new Ojama support in the TCG/MD. Huge news for me, a person who’s been trying to make Ojama work for five years.

Look it’s not easy to come up with a brand new backstory for Apollo, game after game

We’re gonna need more Hondas

Even if it does come to Australia I have low expectations for Tasmania. God I hope it happens though.

…every time she tells ChatGPT she’s cooking pork belly her smoke alarm goes off. She’s threatened her neighbours many times and repeatedly accused them of stealing her packages (she gets them sent to the building instead of her unit number because she doesn’t trust the internet). Wild shit.

There’s a woman on TikTok who occasionally shows up in my feed who’s in like, full on AI psychosis. She’s convinced that her neighbours (who she believes are Muslim just because they’re vegans) are hacking into her ChatGPT account because…

Hmmm but have you considered that Asha personally answers every support ticket and spends 29 hours a day listening to fans? Checkmate fanboy

It’s basically just a big flashy way of saying “hey just FYI there’s a bunch of sci-fi shit up in here” which was very briefly alluded to in one route of 3H in a single conversation right near the end. Big spectacle to let you know right off the bat that Shit is Going Down.

Oliver Brandt @chocobalt.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Yeah, it’s supposed to be weird and mysterious at the start

Oliver Brandt @chocobalt.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Okay I’ve installed and set this up. Thank you so much for this. My bedroom TV was near unusable with the stock launcher because it was so fucking slow and laggy. This is night and day.

Oliver Brandt @chocobalt.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Oh shit I didn’t even know you could get alternative launchers on Google TV

I finished the game three weeks ago lol. I definitely did not have a sane life though, I played like 12 hours a day for two and a half weeks lmao

Genuinely this. I am reasonably certain I was the first reviewer to roll credits? And I've played a bunch more of it since then, too. bsky.app/profile/vook...

It's quite possible that @chocobalt.bsky.social has played this game the most out of anyone outside Nintendo/IS. Amazing stuff.

What a game. What a god damn game.
