Remember back in 2015 when Nintendo put Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Wii U eShop and offered it at $10 for the first week, good times.

Is today the day? Maybe. All that's left to do is wait and see.

Finally happy to have my hands on one.

I swear, if I hear another person set off a firework at 2:45 in the morning I might just turn communist.

So I decided to install and dual boot Arch Linux alongside Windows. In the process I: Broke both OSes trying to get them to fit together Spent three days trying to get anything working Probably caused some minor mental health damage Overall 10/10 Would Recommend

ngl, this is feeling kinda bleak for the future of gaming

Seeing Mario Kart World priced at $80 has kinda soured me on Switch 2 a bit. Makes me worried on the price of future games

I guess Bandai Namco is now in charge of reviving neglected Sony IP and I'm all for it.

At the rate we're going I highly doubt that Lawson will last past May with RedBull

I am currently contemplating throwing my PC out the window because something in my Windows installation is broken but I have no idea what, it is driving me mad.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

After much internal pestering I finally watched Hundreds of Beavers. 9.4/10 I regret waiting this long to watch the film.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

So it seems like the Chiefs only lose the Super Bowls that take place the year AFTER beating the 49ers for one. I for one do not like this fact.

While continuing to go through my backlog, I have come to the conclusion that the Need for Speed games from the early 2010's are really good to the point where I consider it to be the second best era of the series.

000

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

Throughout January I was able to remove six games from my backlog, some had been stuck there for years. I wish I was able to get through more but the last two weeks especially have severely hampered my drive to do, well anything really but especially game. For my sake I need to find that drive again

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

So it looks like i'll be rooting for Kendrick to win the Super Bowl this year.

After today I decided to just completely delete TikTok. I hadn't been on the app since the temporary shutdown and recent news has made me never want to go back. To be honest, after deleting the app, account, and the burner e-mail used to set everything up, I felt a bit of relief.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

It's funny that I finally start to understand TikTok right before I, and all of America, lose access to the platform. I wouldn't say that it ever fully clicked for me, but I see why it did for many.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

I'm not sure how common of an experience this is but I'm finding myself having a much more fun and less stressful time playing Ranked matches in Rivals in comparison to Quick Play (Gold btw).

000

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

I can't stop playing Marvel Rivals at this point it's too addicting and fun to put down. Support/Strategist main btw, mostly Adam Warlock

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Took a bit over a day to beat my first game of 2025! It also continues my unintentional tradition of playing one BoxBoy! game a year.

Congratulations screen for perfect clearing every main level in Bye-Bye Boxboy!

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

And now 2024 is a thing of the past for me. This year I intend to get through my large backlog of games (for real this time, I have a spreadsheet and everything). The backlog is at 102 games as I type this, and my goal this year will be to get this number as low as possible.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

I don't think I'll get a Balatro run this insane for a long time

I just had the most deranged game of UNO in my life and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

So in the span of one day I: Finished the Knuckles show Watched Sonic 3 Beat Generations after close to 4 and half years of it sitting in my backlog Beat Mania And bought Frontiers Is this what being motivated feels like?

000

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

Finally got around to watching the Knuckles show. I personally liked it, though I can where the criticism comes from (Especially episode 4). I would rank it a bit below the first film, though not by much.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Tbh, I'm a little dissapointed with how little I used the Switch this year. My desire to game never left, and time wasn't really an issue, but the drive and motivation to sit down and game just wasn't there this year. With Switch 2 releasing next year these numbers will likely go up, but we'll see.

One of the best feelings in life is hearing a song alot in your childhood not knowing who made it or where it came from, only to stumble upon it years later and get an instant burst of nostalgia. (Bonus Points if the song's still good)

So the Angels got the 2nd pick for the 2025 draft. I'm content with that.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I just beat my first Gold Stake run in Balatro and it felt great. Time to play more I guess.

Am I sure I'm not just rewatching the 2020 49ers season by mistake?

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

After unlocking all the decks in Balatro I can definitively say that Black is the worst and least fun deck in the game.

Yesterday I bought some manga for my brother without telling him and now I'm going to see how long it takes him to realize the new addition to his collection.

Took awhile to find some Surging Sparks packs. It was completely worth it.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

I caved and decided to watch the Paul/Tyson fight. My expectations were low, but I think they were met? TBH it played out the way I thought it would, and at least it didn't feel like a waste of my time.

As a big Mario & Luigi fan, I'm really excited to play through this.

This instantly became one of my favorite cards in the game.

Still feeling a bit down (and a bit sick), so I made some tea to feel a bit better.

Caught a red brick today

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 06/11/2024

I think I've come to realize that I see the world very differently than the average American, and I don't really know how to react.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 06/11/2024

I think any lingering hope I had remaining is now extinguished....

Well, today's the day the fate of democracy is decided. I really don't know what to expect, I'm optimistic that things will turn out fine, but at the same time, who knows what will happen. All we can do now is vote (if we haven't already) and watch.

Saul M. @saul17.bsky.social · 31/10/2024

I see so much potential in this service. Nintendo officially offering their music somewhere is something many have dreamed of for years. If Nintendo is willing to put in the effort and have a substantial amount of their extensive catalog on offer, then I can see myself using this service alot.

After seeing so many people on my feed celebrate deleting Twitter it made me a little jealous I couldn't directly join in (I never made a Twitter account in the first place). So here's next best thing:

It feels good to participate in the democratic process

The funny part about the recent news reporting that Trump withheld wildfire aid to California in 2018 before being reminded about Orange County is that Orange County voted AGAINST Trump in 2016 (Then did it again in 2020, and is poised to do it for a third time next month)
