Just a heads up that I'll be showing up to this year's PRGE (Portland Retro Gaming Expo) on Sunday, October 11th. If you know me, you'll recognize me immediately. Feel free to say hi: I'll be downright flattered. Maybe even find it in your heart to buy a beer for poor ol' me? www.retrogamingexpo.com

Now archived on my personal channel: "The Defense of Jisr Al Doreaa" -- a feature-length series of military training / propaganda videos produced in 'ArmA II,' packed to the brim with awkward animations and general ghoulishness. Engage at your own discretion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVpW...

Gonna be making more of a conscious effort to do stuff with my personal YouTube channel. I've even gone and made all my personal playlists on it public, so that all of you out there in TV land can treat yourself to incredible Curated Content Experiences. www.youtube.com/@connoisseur...

a so-called expert is only as wise as their best layman's explanation of a complex subject is intelligible to the common man. i cannot stress this concept enough when talking to aspiring writers / speakers who seem to refuse to "dumb things down" for a broader audience.

I've gotta give a hard agree on Trespasser. It's a janky, overambitious, truly compelling adventure -- simultaneously archaic while also paradoxically being years ahead of its time. It's one of the first games we had in mind when establishing @bghof.com, and long overdue for an on-stream revisit.

I'm absolutely loathe to do this, but I've set up a GoFundMe in the hopes of making rent this month (owing to my day job not providing me sufficient hours). I ain't given to relying on others for support - especially knowing how much rougher others have it - but I've no choice. gofund.me/201ea5685

love tossing a bunch of colorful produce into a pressure cooker and watching as it turns into a flavorful brown slop. (we forgot to put onion and potato in before taking the first photo / starting cooking, so we had to depressurize the pot and add it in halfway through lol)

just figured folk should know that the ""recompilation"" that just came out for the unreleased XBLA version of 'GoldenEye 007' is a vibe-coded piece of fucking garbage with completely broken mouse support that runs worse than just running the goddamn thing in xenia like folk have done for years lmao

this is probably (definitely) self-indulgent of me, but if anyone would be willing to draw some pride month fanart of me, i would be eternally grateful lmfao. sorry that i'm broke as fuck right now and can't afford to properly commission it, but i will proudly shout out anyone who feels up to it

backloggd.com/u/LassCassid... toying around with backloggd and getting started with this. site's a fucking pain to use especially when it comes to games that have multiple versions, but it is what it is lol. follow me on here and i'll [likely] follow back so i can see what y'all get up to gameswise

kinda wishing i had a Switch but just for the new Tomodachi Life, which is not nearly enough to justify buying an [admittedly old] console. i'd have been way deep into Animal Crossing on it if i'd had it contemporaneously. what can i say: i like my little cozy games lol

Cassidy @connoisseurcass.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

just a little self-promo [as a treat] for #tdov: hey howdy, i'm Cassidy (she / they), and i play bad video games with an eye towards detailing their histories and giving them their due process! it's a dumb gimmick to get trapped in, but we've been doing it for ten years so it's too late to quit lol

"a villain who believed they were right" describes the motivations of almost every villain ever written across thousands of years of media. this corny-ass dude would probably think to himself "animals are motivated by a will to survive" and believe he was cooking something deep

yeah, sure, i'll bite and do the my9games.com thing. bear in mind that half of these are subject to change at any moment, that i try not to stack franchises in presenting lists like this, that the top-left image / #1 in my heart forever will always be 'We ♥ Katamari,' and that my taste is impeccable

Cassidy @connoisseurcass.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

RE9 might be the absolute clumsiest grafting of two completely different games onto one another i have ever experienced. it's rare to find a game that so poorly understands the concept of pacing -- which seems to forget what it is every time the perspective shifts. what a fucking mess

Cassidy @connoisseurcass.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

it comes up on the stream semi-frequently, but it really does feel strange for me putting on a Video Game Show that deals a lot in retro games, while being someone who really does believe that so many of them - even the commonly agreed-upon "classics" - have all aged like milk lol

Wanna quickly thank folk for giving our goofy videos a shot, and tuning in to hear our riffs and retrospectives. We'll keep on giving bad games their due process for as long as folk keep showing up to watch us, and working to make the BGHOF the best damn show in the scene.

Cassidy @connoisseurcass.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

just wanna say that it's hilarious to see folk we've run out of our own community show up in other communities making gigantic asses of themselves and turning everyone against them, only for nothing to be done by lax moderators as they continue to serve as active detriments wherever they go lol
