Grateful I built myself a nice 4K PC in 2024, but sad I didn't go ahead with building a NAS at the same time. Jesus hard drive prices are insane.

Big thumbs up to Buffet Infinity on Shudder. Hella weird and fun (also TIL "analog horror" is now a genre for VHS/broadcast TV themed stuff)

Dang, just went through my spare caps thinking I had some but they're 0.01uf :(

After coming home and tasting the boys, the answer is obvious. Honestly, Ramune Toast Crunch is pretty good!

It was hard enough losing Dolly yesterday. ☹️ And now, we cry a sea of black tears for our very own Doviculus: The irreplaceable Tim Curry. May these beloved legends rest well, as we carry their spirit forward~ 🩷🖤

Easily the game I was proudest to be a part of. If you beat it, you could see 27 year old me in the credits video.

Very tempted just to have fresh gear for YARG, but my 360 guitars are still holding up (with strum + button mods, of course). My drums might be DOA, not sure since I've had downstairs neighbors for 15+ years and haven't used 'em.

Can you find me? (It's not hard, I have a red mohawk) Also this show f'ing ruled, my throat is raw from hoopin' and hollerin' all night.

Oh fuck off, Google. They tried to change it to Gemini without my consent earlier this year and that thing is so goddamn slow for basic tasks like setting alarms/timers. That and hands-free texting is all use Assistant for anyway.

Souls-Fans, play this. 1000% better than the first one, which I fell off of pretty fast. Slick vibes, creepy character design, doom metal soundtrack. Insta preordered the physical after playing the demo.

You know, good on Past Us for knowing Current Us would need a treat right about now.

Legit forgot I preordered the 4K and got a very pleasant surprise yesterday!

Silent Hill / Classic Resident Evil fans you NEED to play Signalis. It's not super long + immaculate horror vibes.

I highly recommend Forbidden Solitaire, especially if you're a fan of creepy early/mid 90s FMVs and CD-ROM aesthetics.

Been a minute since I've done a PS2 mod chip install on a Slim. Looking good!

Miss me with these AI assistants, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't pause and consider if it let me call it "computer" and talked to me in Majel Barrett's voice.

I get the corporate reasoning behind code-in-the-box GTAVI physical – prevents leaks when retail inevitably gets out early, spreads out the download strain on networks with "early" release, etc – but as a physical guy I feel so old man cooked.

I was questioning if I was crazy for attending CAX and MAGWest on back-to-back weekends, but this just solidifies that I made the right decision!

Praying for Double Fine to make it to the other side of this. Best developer I ever worked for before moving over to the creative services side of the industry.

This is a really sick Mega Man-like, awesome gameplay and soundtrack. I bought it, like, two years ago and had a great time. For free, that's a no-brainer.

Some good stuff announced, but kinda weird vibes during that Nintendo Direct.

All good, appreciate it. We've all had those, sending good vibes your way!

I don't know why you're QTing me, but I don't think I quite fit your example as a member of the "neck bearded destiny mob" since I've never commented on it? Just a game I used to play a lot with friends and curious about checking out this last update?

After a six year hiatus, might be time to get the band back together for Destiny 2.

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE

DS9 scene: Kor, a Klingon, greets Dax as Curzon. Dax corrects him as the host is now in Jadzia, a Trill female. Cor immediately responds, "Jadzia, my beloved old friend" without missing a beat.

Right: Two tweets from 2019: "This Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had trans rights"; "No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse-filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after. Cis allies: Be like Kor."
