I relish the cold because I spend my summers with stupid ass flies getting needlessly close to my face, hitting a fortnite dance, then flittering away. But I know that their time will come

As someone who enjoys achievement hunting, I wish that Platinums/Mythics/etc didn't exist. It's all fun until you get to "bronze trophy / 5 pointer that is online only and the servers are closed" so you get to look at 99% with no Platinum on your history forever.

With the news from Xbox today, it really feels like Sony and Microsoft entered a dumbass competition where the only winner is Nintendo by default.

Below you will find my AI created promotional art giving indie devs the opportunity of a life time (em dash) allowing me to make content of their work for no charge to me. I will give my honest (read: overly critical) opinion on my stream and will guarantee your game will be better for it.

After working out regularly for ~6 months, I finally cracked the code to losing weight. Was it the diet? No Was it the exercises? Also no. The solution? Getting a stomach bug and shitting crazy style for 3 days

"Consoles suck, PC is better" mfs when a component fails in a way that's not obvious and blows up their whole PC so they have to spend a day troubleshooting and praying it's not something that costs hundreds of dollars instead of just playing a game. I'm only partially mfs, I like consoles

Don't let them fool you, the real reason that storage prices are shooting up is because they don't want you to keep the "install required" games on your hard drive infinitely to play offline.

So as part of my FE Engage playthrough, I spent a full movie's worth of time on one map only for it to come down to a 29% crit and 44% dodge to win. Thankfully the RNG was on my side for once and I managed to pull it off, but good lord

I would purchase GTA VI and play it Day 1 at 30FPS on my PS5 base if it had a disc that I could install from offline. Follow button to the left amigos, like comment and subscribe for more opinions that don't really matter

Every time I go to my doctor's office, I use their coffee machine because if I'm paying as much as I am to get a chunk of my toe cut off, I'm going to get a free coffee. Now here I am with my extra strength coffee at 5pm oopsie sorry sleep schedule

I wish my brain didn't work the way it does, I basically spent 5-6 hours (probably more i didn't count) trying the Ike Paralogue from Fire Emblem Engage while woefully underleveled because I knew I could and it was just a matter of time. I did beat it though, and it was fun (minus the suffering)

Playing through FE Engage on maddening / classic (first time maddening ever), I can't believe they yoinked my damn cheat button and gave me no swaps when I have the 2 baby units. Only took me like 3 hours, but I made it through with everyone alive.

Coding and weight lifting really have a lot in common, if you look in one spot for how to do something, you get 3 results: 1 is "I love this it's perfect", 2 is "I hate this it's bad", and 3 is "Where's the statistics that prove that you should love it" despite the stats not telling the whole story

Twitch enabling "use my content to train GenAI" by default might backfire when there are millions of streams with the most minimal effort on the crunchiest mics with the least engaging content that are never going to think about it.

The awkward thing about bsky is that in the few days that age verification was disabled, my discover feed was refilled with tons of boobs. Now that they've seemingly re-enabled it, it's all sfw horny posting from the same accounts. I want to reiterate, I just like video games and big the cat.

I played through Pokemblem on a whim because I wanted SRPG and Pokemon, my favorite part of it is that I could use whatever I wanted and still succeed on Lunatic My sweet gyarados that I bought off a team rocket member as a level 2 magikarp was the real MVP 🥹

Spent 2ish hours trying to ungoof my modded vita because I wanted to test a physical cart I got, swapped to use the actual memory card, every mod stopped working, none of the recovery methods were working. Turns out the MC contacts got a little grimy and just needed a scrub, then it worked fine...

You know Kaiji is a great series because after you watch a few episodes you start to imagine the narrator (i.e., the best character) in every situation

Things I've learned about video games over the past week: Go Vacation is wildly underrated and it would never get released today because companies are scared of investing in games that don't appeal to 85%+ of people. The best VGM is always from a JP PS2 exclusive you've never heard of:

I don't follow streamers on their social media accounts. I only follow them on their personal LinkedIn account. If you're not trying to make a business, we won't get along. If you can't even tell me your name, we will never be able to collaborate. For anyone looking to connect, let me know...

Cobisumaru @thepantsmanex.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

A huge drawback of society is having too much information. I think we should just release games and tell you nothing about it, no resolution info, no frame info, none of this fancy stuff. Back in the day you'd see a game on your TV and it would look good or not, that's all we really need.

Cobisumaru @thepantsmanex.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I think the reason I'll never succeed on social media is that even when the discourse lands in my realm of expertise (physical games), I don't feel like making performative posts about how much I love physical media. Shit's fucked, 8 billion people will still buy GTA 6 code in box, life moves on.

Sony publishing a statement on the Bungie layoffs then pushing a notification via the PS App that just says "Grand Theft Auto VI" has to be the funniest way to say "yeah we care but not that much"
