It finally arrived! Saw this was available when I got some time to sit down and watch a bit of @zeldathon.com a few months back, and had to immediately get it. Cool wee design, and the money went toward a good cause too.

I don't usually post these until I've completed a level but I just had to post this one. 100% planned, and undisputable. No take backs, no re-runs. You've now seen it, and are complicit if I ever need a witness.

People who take their shoes off at the cinema need to be taken out back and given the Old Yeller treatment. Noone wants to smell yer stinky feet.

After a bunch of anger, and persistence, By Fire and it's Chomps were defeated 2 days ago. Definitely one of my least favourite levels, purely because of how much a pain in the balls managing the chomp movement is. Wee pricks, all of them. Water time, oh dear. #kaizo #smw 1/5

Watched Supergirl. Not exactly sure why everyone decided to shit all over it. Was pretty decent, apart from the terrible cover of a good song near the end.

The Mandalorian and Grogu definitely would have been far better as a 4th season instead of film. It wasn't great, but at least it wasn't completely horrible. Glad I waited for it to hit Disney+ to watch it.

Completed Casio's Red Switch Palace last weekend. Wasn't too bad, but that 2 tile gap near the start was such a pain in the hole. It definitely caused me the most hassle the entire time. Think it might be the fastest I've finished a level at about 4 hours. #kaizo #smw 1/2

I don't venture outside the city very much, but it's always nice to go off the grid for a few days. Pretty much zero signal for data, and a nice view or two.

Vlakados @vlakados.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Just shy of 20 hours later, but Child Soldier is completed! 7 hours to get the midway. Another 12 to win. The goal tape, in fact, was not 'right at the end there'. Such a deluded fool. Timer was paused by accident then corrected. Now I get to play with spikes! #kaizo #smw 1/3

The Hurt Locker is such an intense movie. Even when you've already seen it before, it's still grim as fuck.

Over the Ice is conquered! 12 and a half hours later, and finally free of EEEEEEEEEE. That 2nd motorised saw in the ascent was possibly the hardest obstacle for me in that level. 3x clip reels incoming. Now it's time for Ha! (Ha-ha!) Ha! (Ha-ha!) *laser noises* #kaizo #smw

It's finally here! I've been looking forward to getting @takiudon.bsky.social's Superstation One & SuperDock since they were both announced, and I received my shiny new package today. Excited to get it setup and running as my primary MiSTer.

Power of Persuasion down! I got so close to the midway the 1st day, then so close to the end the 2nd day. On the 3rd day victory was achieved. Pink balloon > Green Balloon. Now it's time to EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - I'm not sure how I feel about it so far... #kaizo #smw

Spider-Noir was great. PI show mixed with superhero elements, and good ol Nic Cage being a weirdo.

I've been told on occasion that I'm known to keep banging my head against the wall until I finish something. This will definitely be one of those situations.

Modern day electronic goods really aren't built to last are they? This thing is only 4 years old. It sat in the same position for 3 years, and was transported safely in a house move 1 year ago. No bumps, nothing accidentally hitting it, or pressed against it. So stupid.

I only just learnt this existed and had to immediately buy it. I've loved this game since I first played it. Such a unique game that I still think holds up to this day. The soundtrack by @norgans.bsky.social is an incredible piece of work, I absolutely love it. Featuring the childhood cartridge.

Decided to step back into kaizo after 8 months away and thought: 'My first runback of GPW 2 will throw me straight into the deep end and get me back up to speed.' Hadn't played it in 4 years, and finished it 62 hours 8 minutes and 45 seconds faster than the first time yeooo.

Pretty interesting how the smallest of things like a <30 second internet cut can completely ruin your mood during a stream. Weird thing was it only affected my office, stupid first world problems.

Had a good time watching Mortal Kombat II. I got the impression that they consulted the game devs a lot more this time, because a bunch of stuff looked like it came right out of the games. Looking forward to a Director's Cut in the future. I'll be surprised if there isn't one.

Decided to turn the clock back 4 years, and started a 2nd playthrough of Grand Poo World 2. Nothing like throwing yourself into the deep end with the first choice, after being away from kaizo for 8 months. Surely this'll fast track me back into the swing of things. Good times.
