zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Historically Microsoft’s dev tools have been pretty good in my (maybe out of date) opinion, but DevOps feels like a mess. I don’t think it’s just comparing to what I know, either. 000
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 continues to bring me so much joy. Finished Chrono Trigger on it, then played Undertale for the first time, and now finally playing Hollow Knight for the first time. Sure, I’ve picked 3 all timers, but they felt so good on the Flip 2. 011

zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Excuse me, but I’m an adult. That means I have the knowledge and ability to make my own ice magic, put it on as much damned ice cream as I want, and then top it with Reese’s Pieces. AND NOBODY CAN SAY NO. Take that, children. 000
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 16/08/2026My whole deal now seems to be playing games that are 10+ years old and generally regarded as all timers, then running around telling everyone how good they are. Started with Chronotrigger, and now here I go with Undertale. Stay tuned for FFVII and Mario 64. 000

zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 24/05/2026The beginning of S1E22 of @intothecast.bsky.social got me real good. Music shift was very fun, and then take 2 of the intro just added to the delight. Still giggling. 010
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 24/05/2026GameNative feels like magic. I can just play PC games on my Flip2 now? That easily? Wild. 000
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 03/05/2026This is the third time I’ve had to kill the Blue Prince process and lose a run after having the game freeze me in an interface. Heartbreaking when you’re an hour into a run and about to uncover another secret 😭😭😭 000

zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Incentivising developers based on lines of code and number of cards? Congratulations, you’ve just incentivised thoughtless slop. See you at the bottom!💩 000
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I’m about 30 hours into my first play through of Chrono Trigger and it just keeps getting better. Curious to see if I get into similar games, or if Chrono Trigger transcends genre preferences. 000
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Have you just soft boiled some eggs, only to realise you don’t have any egg cups?! SMASH them onto the plate so the bottom is flat enough for them to stand up. Cups be dammed. You’re free now. 000
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Software broken again. Yep, I foolishly traveled to a different time zone and ran the test suite. No, I’m not surprised.

zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Because hexagons are so great, you can add together hex wrenches in a pinch. Needed an 8mm hex wrench to fix my bike while on a ride yesterday. The clever people who made my bike tool didn’t include an 8mm, but they _did_ put a 5mm and a 3mm next to each other. Used them together and bike fixed. 000
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 23/03/2026@bb.wavelengths.online’s video perfectly captured my recent experience. Couldn’t bring myself to commute with a Switch 2 given how cumbersome it would be, so now I’m playing through Chrono Trigger for the first time on the Flip 2. Loving the form factor. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgd-...m.youtube.comWhy are all gaming handhelds HUGE now?YouTube video by Wavelengths 010
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Really enjoyed my first 30 mins with Um Jammer Lammy, even if I couldn’t clear the first level. At least one of these is true: 1. I’m worse at rhythm games than expected given I can play some music. 2. Um Jammer Lammy is hard. 3. The latency with emulation on the Flip 2 is killing me. 010
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Something I only just realised yesterday while putting more games on my Flip 2: ES-DE defaults to certain emulators and appears to try and launch them in RetroArch even if they’re not installed. RetroArch just hangs at a black screen. Made me think my ROMs were busted. 100

zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 05/12/2025One more #blueprince thought I’ve had a few times: I wish I’d focused more on novelty earlier on. Specifically, I wish I’d sought out new rooms, items, etc. rather than trying to solve specific mysteries. I’m sure I would have solved things quicker that way. 000
zatrael.bsky.social @zatrael.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Something I realised recently while playing #blueprince: I can do a text search on all the photos I’ve taken on my phone. Any book, note, or sign with legible text shows up. Makes it way faster than scrolling through the (too) many photos I’ve taken to find stuff. 000
