At last, I'm done Brothership. This game got shockingly hard compared to the rest of the series in its mandatory sections, usually they reserve the hard content for optional side modes with hefty rewards attached... but either way, a quite good game. It does overdue backtracking though lol

So I'm playing a Mario game and I just delivered a package to a fellow working in an office under suspicious circumstances... ...you mean to tell me I delivered a shoddy stone carving of a woman with exaggerated bazongas in a Mario game??

Didn't get the chance to mention it on the exact day I was there, but I finally got the chance to meet my son whilst attending the official Pokémon exhibit being hosted in Chicago right now. The exhibition is pretty short, but it's very lovingly put together and great for information

At long last - maybe the longest I've ever taken to start and beat a Zelda by happenstance - Echoes of Wisdom is DONE. I loved this game, and I'm kinda shocked at how right it gets its peaks. Boss fights were REALLY GOOD especially compared to other 2D titles. New chars were also all great

Gee, I wonder what plethora of games the Nintendo Today widget wants me to see more about

Might be the single coolest piece of game merchandise I've ever bought that has a practical use

I made adjustments to the format, but I've seen this grid going around and wanted to do jt as a fun exercise. And the "Pikachu" is just a placeholder for the whole franchise lol

Insane elden ring reference to put in this game of all games

I cleared Pokémon Conquest for the first time yesterday! I have... thoughts. lmao Conquest might be the most messy Pokémon game that exists from the DS and prior era that isn't Generation 1, and it absolutely revels in it. Extremely charming, knows how to keep attention, and the RNG is WACK

Fossilized Nerd (Jesse) @fossilizednerd.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Shouldn't be too bold to say: This is crippling. I'm a former competitive Pokémon player, and dabbled in both Smogon and VGC formats. The COST isn't the issue, it's the NUMBERS. ONLY 30 is insanely low for a franchise with 1000+ creatures. Raising it to 80 IS NOT EVEN CLOSE to what it needs at base

Fossilized Nerd (Jesse) @fossilizednerd.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Overall thoughts: IT SEEMS TO ACTUALLY RUN THIS TIME Style looks good! I grew up on Hoenn and am more than willing to return to the tropics, looks like Diving is coming back too. That will be very fun. Starters... ok, so none of them is surging out as my choice, but they look very good. Enjoy all 3.

Yes I did in fact witness this on Reddit lmao People like this really do exist

Postgame is basically done - I'm thoroughly impressed. They actually redeemed Zygarde and (spoiler)'s poor story writing from the 3DS. Well done

At long last, my annual "Games of the Year" - and I am once again unable to top-rank 5 total games. Work slammed me throughout the year and I was left unable to do much gaming in my off time when so much went into game development. Again lol. This was also a big Indie year, almost all 5 indies...

A list of top 5 games I played this year - top 5 being Blue Prince, Okami HD, Deltarune Ch 3&4, Silksong, and an in-development title.

I said this in the comments section of Wolfey Glicke's latest video - and if you have not seen it, you absolutely need to. youtu.be/wmVgzNasYjI?... I am sickened by the actions of these people who casually act in such a horrible goddamned manner at a fucking Pokemon event. I feel awful for Wolfe...

... can we expect you looking like this in the next video?

Fossilized Nerd (Jesse) @fossilizednerd.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

... any chance it's something similar to this on the inside, but way thinner?

If it feels so good to be home, why isn't there Home 2? *spits out drink*

Beat Super Mariomon! Really good adventure with a very, very well put together construction of Marioverse materials. Dex is good (albeit with a few tiny deficiencies) and location design is very solid. Final team attached here... would absolutely recommend to any Mario fan

Final team from Super Mariomon, Lubba, Crystal King, Gooper Blooper, Trunkle, Shiny Bonzai Bill, and Spark

Earl Grey today! Another classic. I mean really you can't go into this expecting anything other than a flavor you're already used to lmao

Neeext up, an "Assam Exotic" black tea. I have no idea what these words mean. Gonna find out lol

I've never been more insulted on behalf of a country I don't live in & a state whose rep does not serve me. What the fuck, man

OK- after a long week, I finally have some time in the morning for tea. Mint Green tea, nothing extravagant in name but the odor is STRONG (which I'm here for)

Fossilized Nerd (Jesse) @fossilizednerd.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

"Daily" "Second Flush" Darjeeling black is up next. I have no idea what second flush means lmao

Fossilized Nerd (Jesse) @fossilizednerd.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Next up, after a hellish week of work I'm at home to eat in the morning for once... this is an Imperial Himalayan White? Very soothing compared to the Turmeric. It gives that feeling of being wrapped in a freshly cleaned sheet. But not in a loving way, in a spa kind of way. Very uh... clean flavor

Fossilized Nerd (Jesse) @fossilizednerd.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Time for a thread I'll be updating regularly for once! My friends have recommended I get into loose leaf tea, and now that I've acquired a tea kettle, I'm embarking on a journey to try as many kinds as possible that I've never had before / have little experience with! First... a Turmeric mix

In a very unfortunate year for my hobby productivity as someone who plays games... I spent an enormous chunk of my 2024 developing one instead. So as a result, my "games of the year" are a gacha I've already played for years, a replay of Terraria, and a remake of my favorite childhood game lmao

Just beat a stage of Mario Picross - which is only in Japanese on Nintendo Switch Online. Stage 10, one of the hardest ones. I don't know Japanese, so I thought I'd pull up Google Translate and see what Wario was saying! ...uhhhh
