StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 09/10/2026So odd coincidence, I'm playing Life is Strange Before the Storm and went to check the weather just now and see news of tropical storm Rachel headed toward the west coast. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Still need to make one of these My 9 Games for the current gen. But here are 4 separate lists from 4th gen (16 bit era) to 8th gen 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Life is Strange 1 replay complete. Still an incredible game all these years later but boy howdy its age shows now. It hasn’t exactly aged poorly but it’s not great. The dialogue in particular is very of its time and amped up to 11. I remember it being kind of cringe then but it definitely is now. 100
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Kinda want to do the my 9 games thing but separate lists for either each console or generation at the least. So many games have had an influence on my tastes in media it’s difficult to stop at just 9 across the nearing 4 decades of games I have enjoyed. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 24/09/2026My 9 games. Much harder choices to make for me with this. Wanted to reflect as many generations as I could but honestly there’s just too many games that are important to me. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I guess I’ll post one of these too, my 9 anime not in any particular order 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I used to wish that Nintendo would adopt a trophy/achievement system of their own. Playing through Life is Strange though I realize I don’t actually want that. 100
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Next on my to play list is a replay of Life is Strange 1 in anticipation of moving to Oregon, before finally playing some of the follow up games. Got Before the Storm and LiS 2 both queued up next. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I did not care for the ending(s) of Divinity Original Sin 2. Not to spoil anything but for me it was a lot of “all for naught.” With the ending I ultimately stuck with at least, it felt like the best overall outcome. I felt similarly, not quite as much though, about Baldur’s Gate 3 endings. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Man, I already thought this guy was one of the coolest things happening in politics but this no joke cements it for me, I want someone like him to represent me too. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 12/09/2026New StarCraft game in 2030, part of me wonders if that is a hopeful bet that gaming hardware will be back to normal prices by then. Otherwise we’re all gonna be running on bare minimum specs if at all. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 03/08/2026In personal life news, my wife got a job offer in Portland Oregon and we are so excited to get out of Arizona and make our way to the Pacific Northwest. It’s something we’ve been dreaming about because it’s where we want to raise our son. Somewhere with real seasonal changes. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Put FF Tactics down after feeling burned out on it. Played through Blue Prince for the first time. Got to the final room by day 26 in the game. Very cool game, very fun, a lot left to explore and discover. That said, I feel satisfied with what I got, and am starting up Divinity Original Sin 2. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 24/07/2026After watching Secret World of Arrietty recently I really loved some of the fun details like the little red clothespin style clip she uses in her hair. So I decided to 3D print one for my wife. Didn’t design it, but rather modified a file to better match the movie, I think it turned out nice. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Recently started playing through Final Fantasy Tactics Ivalice Chronicles. Super cool game, interesting story, but a little bit of a slog to get through. That’s more on me though wanting something with more exploration in it. About halfway through Chapter 4 currently. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 21/07/2026😭I just wanted some peach rings, I hadn’t had them in ages, but Arizona summer had other plans 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I don’t typically follow the trendy things to do these days but as someone who loves cameras and photography I couldn’t help but pick up a Kodak Charmera. I hadn’t seen one available before now. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Watched The Secret World of Arrietty for the first time recently. I quite enjoyed it. Reading about it I’m learning there is a different dub that was made for the UK with Saoirse Ronan and now I need to find a Blu-ray of that version. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Wife and I never really intended to raise our son in Arizona after he was born. But we also didn’t want to attempt the move with a newborn. He’s already gonna be 2 this year, and we have started planning how to move to the PNW finally. 100
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Wrapped up spring semester today, being in school again in my 30s has been scary but very rewarding. Having a toddler makes the homework tougher but in the end I hope he has a better life from my doing it. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 13/12/2025Has anyone else realized that it’s possible to spell “Ebenezer Scrooge” by combining some letters from Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk? 020
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Got my invite from Nintendo to order a Switch 2. I still have a few hours to make up my mind. Gotta say though, having a baby really makes it hard to find time to game, probably going to hold off until later. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Today was one of the best days I’ve had in a while. Wife got placed on hold and then canceled at work so I got to sleep in a bit. It also meant I had the full day with her and the baby. Lastly I was able to reorganize my desk space. I will sleep peacefully tonight. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Of course I'm excited for a new Mario Kart but I gotta say that new Donkey Kong game is what stood out to me. Clearly Nintendo has learned a lot about open world games from the most recent Zeldas and it really seems like a good fit for DK. And with the destructible terrain, chef's kiss 100
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 27/03/2025My Nintendo Direct predictions based on nothing but pure wishful thinking. New console added to NSO, GameCube, launching with Wind Waker and Twilight Princess Snowboard Kids 1 and 2 coming to N64 New F-Zero title announced, no footage New Mario Kart shown off fully Silksong (please) 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 17/03/2025I can’t believe this little guy is almost 5 months old already. He can be a little menace sometimes but that’s okay, he’s still the most amazing thing in my life. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 10/03/2025My most recent hyper-fixation has been photography, in that I want to get back into taking photos badly. Only problem is that it’s very difficult to get out and do the thing with a 5 month old in tow. Once he’s walking though, we’re gonna have so many adventures. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 10/03/2025I love that it’s possible to own all the mainline Final Fantasy games from 1 to 12 (excluding 11, MMO and I think mostly dead) all on a single console. I bought them all for Switch and am hoping with Switch 2 we see releases for the 13 trilogy, 15 and 16. 100
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Took me a handful of tries but I finally made it through a full round of Dragonsweeper. Made a little mistake at the end that stopped me from maximizing my score but I defeated the dragon. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 27/09/2024 Reading an article about text message scams and I think anyone with prior Bioshock knowledge would be wary of this. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 25/09/2024I think it’s high time I actually start using this site more frequently. I don’t have much to bring to the table but general daily musings. Hi! 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 20/09/2024Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #72,718! Crazy, never realized I got in that early on. 020
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 26/10/2023Does this count? It’s from a shelf in a Michael’s art supply store. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 24/08/2023In anticipation of Baldurs Gate 3 releasing for PlayStation, my wife and I started a coop play through of Divinity Original Sin 2. It’s been a blast. You get very little direction on where to go and what to do, which is kind of fun and refreshing. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 13/08/2023As a lifelong TMNT fan, the assortment of tie-ins to the new movie made me happy. A Blu-Ray copy of the first 4 movies? Don’t mind if I do. Also managed to try a few of the branded frozen pizzas. I will be honest, they were not great. Little flavor, and just overall very school lunch-esque. 100
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 17/06/2023Played the FFXVI demo tonight. As a fan of XIV, I was already pretty stoked knowing Yoshi-P and Soken were involved, but the demo fully cemented my interest. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 16/06/2023Some work tools are on the fritz today and I’ve got nothing to do. Would they send us home early though? Of course not. So it’s a read a book at my desk kind of day I guess. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 15/06/2023My shitposting game isn’t strong enough for BlueSky. That’s cool, I’m just gonna be a wallflower and lurk in the dusty corner next to the old textbooks. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 14/06/2023Had a weird ad serve on YouTube recently. Had a countdown with ad agency details and package name instead of the actual commercial. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 09/06/2023Hey @marawilson.bsky.social you probably don’t remember this, but probably 20ish years ago you visited a small park in Phoenix Arizona on a press tour for a Thomas the Tank movie and I met you. You were cool as shit to a 10 year old me, it was cool to meet you. 010
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 23/05/2023I’m a patient gamer so a bit late to the discourse but Last of Us Part 2 was fantastic. The shift partway through the game caught me off guard but it was well done and had some amazing character moments. That said, I really hope Part 3 leaves us with a semblance of peace, let alone happiness. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 15/05/2023You gotta love to see things like this the wild, I definitely do. 000
StrangeBum @strangebum.bsky.social · 14/05/2023So, Animorphs is cool here? I think I might just like Sky place. 000
