For shits and giggles I mapped my IR remote's ok button to the action button of ESO so I can fish on my laptop while cleaning out my email inbox on my desktop at the same time. I still have only managed 1 perfect roe in the two hours I've been doing this, the rates just be depressing some times.

All I wanted to do was test some games I own in RPCS3 😭 Oh well pack to Vanillaware's ps2 era for me cause I don't think I can play this game without laughing at every female character design.

I can't take Dragon's Crown seriously all the women in this game were designed by a coomer. Seriously out of the three playable female characters only one doesn't have their boobs. And all the men are drawn as hyper swole. Were Vannilaware games always this bad or is just this one unique?

I'm not talking about the big companies that already have VTT support for the majority of their work; but, the smaller zines and that who don't. I like chaining multiple roll-tables together when I play solo ttrpgs, and it makes it so much easier when I have a md table or json to make that happen.

The Back Catalogue @thecatalogueback.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

My one wish for 2026 is that more TTRPG creators provide their roll tables, bestiaries, etc in an easy format like markdown or json to import into VTTs and other software. Copying and pasting out of pdfs is so painful.

Pokémon Wind and Waves starters aren't ugly... but they don't feel radically compelling like I want to jump into the game just for them either. Also Pokémon will have to win me back hard on more than just starters to get me playing mainline games again.

Third game of the year finished and.. Well the gameplay is good I love a good puzzle builder and it really makes you think about where your putting down buildings and managing resources. But, the story the writing is very generic and two-dimensional. Basically a tech-bro utopia fantasy.

I dislike how some booktokers/gramers group YA & MG graphic novels into the same list. a lot of these comics don't have crossover in demographics. Because there audiences are at completely different stages of development. It also gives the vibes that comics are inherently childish.

I really want to play Hytale but I'm so broke atm. This game looks so fun. How did Riot fail so hard at developing it, it would have been an instant hit if they just stopped with the feature creep and focused on the core gameplay.

Hardcore VN fans probably already have this understanding of gameplay passivity cemented in their mind when they go in. But for me I'm more of an rpg and action game girly. I go into video games expecting gameplay, when that requirement for a video game isn't met I'm bored.

You might say, what's the difference between a VN and a book. Nothing really, but for me when I want to play a video game I want to be an active participate in that game - even if its a linear narrative - not just clicking next until I hit an illusion of choice narrative moment...

Discovered today that I don't like Visual Novels that much. Which sucks cause the next 3-5 games I wanted to knock out of my back catalogue were all visual novel style games. It's a passivity of the gameplay for me I want to play something more active.

My 2026 wish for game developers is for them to actually open up their games on a small screen. If you can't see the ui then no you don't actually offer 480p support. Signed someone who'd actually like to use steam in home streaming more often.

On a more positive note - this is a great series. I had an ARC of the first volume and wanted to take advantage of the Black Friday sales to catch up on the rest of the series out so far, however, I'll just wait a couple more months and get it from a local distributor instead.

This is why being an Australian book and comic fan sucks sometimes. Like why is the shipping 3x the price of the actual books - which are on sale. 😭 I live regional and its also more expensive in shipping versus metro. You may as well not offer international shipping at this point of unaffordability

A screen capture of the checkout for three comic books that are on a half price special. the total for the books comes to $40.50 AUD with shipping at $125.00 AUD, totalling $182.05. Shipping is 3x the price of the books alone.

Transitioning from a corporate tool to a functioning "human" with desires and goals similar to those of their human counterparts, they work together, yet also differ. If you've got any recs for comics and books like that - especially queer books and comics - I'd love for you to send them my way.

To answer the dumb questions before they begin, yes, the books in the bundle are unofficial titles. However, continued fan interest in the franchise fuels continued interest in official merchandise. Which in turn puts money in JKR's pocket, money we know JKR is using to fund anti-trans bigotry.

*because they put a note, probably the first one I'd seen on an HB about the Trevor Project not being involved in the curation of the bundle that shows intent to join these two things together, knowing it may cause backlash to The Trevor Project. So they are aware of why many people boycott HP.

The major disconnect Humble Bundle had to have between their Queer audience and themself to select the Trevor Project as their fundraising charity for an HP bundle seems concerning. The fact that it was intentional* is downright malicious.
