Castlevania complete! I really enjoyed this one. I think they made a version of the game that has its own voice in the choir of titles that is this series.

After a day this seems like a *really* low rate of people to clear these bosses in the new Castlevania. Placed a label on the image if you didn't want to see the names of the bosses. Clearance rate is 4.2% and 1.0% as of 2:30am.

It’s been a few weeks, so I figured I would check in for my 2nd #TummyTuesday this month! Hope you’re having a great week, and I’ll see you in November!

I was so tired tonight I was perplexed when looking at this image and wondering why the HECK that COPE would be wanting to elect Ken Sim. I read this post twice and failed to understand the url was EVICT not ELECT. I was relieved. I also clearly need to sleep.

Might be a weird one. It’s a memory I kinda have, but my parents reinforced. I apparently really didn’t like it when Superman screamed in this scene from the 1st Christopher Reeve film.

I’m very tired today, but I’ve missed almost all of them this month. Good morning on this #TummyTuesday! I’ll see you next month.

Thank you @digitalextremes.com ! Been a funky month, so I'm looking forward to @soulframe.com this weekend! New update looks like it is on the cusp of release today.

With Control Resonant out next week, I thought it might be fun to take a look back at a game I think is overlooked in Remedy’s catalogue. I’m on #twitch today playing Quantum Break! it’s definitely… chaotic awesome! twitch.tv/rasgueado

I keep thinking about a post I made yesterday and this feeling something about it is going to be misunderstood. Why? It happens a lot. I tend to leave out details that make sense to me, but probably absolutely do not to anyone else. SO... what did I mean when I used air quotes around "bad"... 🧵

Small screencap of some text from a post. Main focus is a section that says:

This doesn't necessarily saying anything "bad" about the...

This was just 3 years ago by the way when we were talking about the metaverse. I just want to remind everyone of the talking points behind LLM's. Shout out to the short film The Future Is A Dead Mall by Dan Olson where this image comes from. It's good. You should watch it.

2) It *will* improve
3) The metaverse is inevitable

Cool tech. Not at all inaccurate. No notes. /sarcasm The actual search results below that were fortunately all accurate. X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out in 2009. Arguably as good a game (except visuals as it is 16 years old).

Screenshot of a copilot search summary. The search was for "Wolverine raven software release date." The result says the new game releasing next week being made by Insomniac is actually made by Raven.

It seems wild to me after 2 years, the number of people that have this achievement for STALKER 2 is this low.

I have some questions about this statement. The biggest one I would like to ask is *what kind of infrastructure investment* is that Mark? If this is just a dollars question, big projects for oil/gas and LLM (AI) datacentre buildouts is NOT IT.

Canadian economic growth is accelerating, and we are on course to have the second-fastest growth in the G7 over the next two years. Our economy is creating jobs at four times the rate of the United States. Our exports to non-U.S. markets are on track to double over the next decade. Foreign direct investment in Canada is at its highest level in two decades, running at twice the rate of our nearest G7 competitor. Canada now ranks as the most attractive country in the world for infrastructure investment.

Raphael is at Wolfeye Studios which released Weird West a few years ago. They're now working on a new first person game that we're still waiting to see more of, but I'm always excited to hear what they're cooking.

I had forgotten just how hard iRacing goes with setting up their events for players. I am not a great race driver, but it has been a thing I've enjoyed going back to every few months to improve. 48 pages of code... dang!

I know I can be a bit cynical. When I look at a youtube feed and see a large channel like this uploading a "new" clip 2 days ago featuring Sam Neil this just feels... icky to me. Gotta get those clicks I guess eh JoBlo? 😡

Nothing remotely on theme for today, but I’m out of town for another week and I’ll be in the woods for most of next week. Want to get my head back on track, and getting two of these up a month. Have a great morning folks!

Hey @battlestategames.bsky.social... do you have reference material for exactly what this means? What rules of morality and ethics are you referring to here? The entire clause really just seems to be a way to provide you the means to defend whatever position you want for any reason.

2.5.12. Not to post within the Game any other information that, in the opinion of Battlestate Games Limited, is undesirable or violates the rules of morality and ethics and (or) the effective legislation.

This chart here was posted to Michael Burry's substack to describe how debt is being hidden using retirement funds and make tech companies look good. I understand this might not be the best comparison, but still *feels* like what we saw Fastow do at Enron. youtu.be/iEdR01xbe3M?...

This is an incredibly wild thing to say when there are so many on record reports of what was happening at Blizzard. Link to the full article is below. 🧵 www.gamedeveloper.com/business/mic...

Quote from an article reads: “Microsoft does not substantiate any allegations there has been systemic or widespread workplace misconduct at Activision; that Activision senior executives ignored, condoned, or tolerated a culture of systemic harassment, retaliation, or discrimination; or that Activision Board of Directors, including its Chief Executive Officer, Kotick, acted improperly with regard to the handling of any instances of workplace misconduct.”

This is an excerpt of an interview response given by Alan Moore. I highlighted the first part of this, but the last section also really hammers this point home. I've been saying for awhile that doing something even small in your community *has meaning.* Your community is where you live... 🧵

Screenshot of an interview excerpt with Alan Moore. The first section is highlighted, but all of it reads: "And, more important than condemning the forces driving this multi-faceted disaster, let us take responsibility for ourselves and our communities. Let us for God's sake stop relying on these leaders and their self-serving social structures that lead us nowhere save into the abyss. If we want things to exist - things like proper education, health and welfare services - then let us give our energies, our time, our money, our art, to the numerous community projects that are springing up of necessity and attempting to counteract these privations of the state or the toxic world it has created. Support environmental movements and protests, stand up for the rights of minorities and women at a moment when those rights are being clawed away from them by the horror story/laughing stock currently in the White House, form Arts Labs or start fanzines in recognition of the fact that we should probably think about providing our own art and entertainment too, and do something, some little or big thing to make the world around you more like the world you want to live in. Good luck."

We're most of the way through the month and I haven't done any #TummyTuesday posts, so I suppose I'm going to have to do them both back to back (even though today is Wednesday). Headache is kinda doing me in today, so dark room on the couch is where it's at. Have a great week folks.

Sometimes playing #Marathon, someone makes a little mistake pushing you when they shouldn’t have and you only have a free kit. Do I feel bad? Maybe a little… but they hunted me down so…

I figure why not? A rare glimpse of un-modified facial hair. I usually dye my beard because I like how it looks with colour and it still matches my head hair. Once the head hair goes grey though, I’m not going to bother. Too much work to do both and it looks fine like this.

There are times when I worry that the way I approach people is like this. I don't feel like I'm evasive, but sometimes wonder if I really am. Sometimes it's hard to tell because you can say a lot of things about yourself without ever really saying much. All I can do is keep trying!
