On my way to Retro Game Con in Syracuse AND the Predecessor finals are today?! What a good weekend.

Today was supposed to be a day to relax and play/finish some games after a stressful weekend... The power has been out since 10:30am and will not be restored until 7:30pm 😭

I found a speak-o in the Blood, Sweat and Pixels audiobook but damn was it a good read! Can't wait to pick up another one of your books @jasonschreier.bsky.social You're great at telling a story and I respect the hell out of your integrity as a journalist.

Any time we hear "AI did this and this", it's not proof programs are becoming sentient, but that the humans deploying said AI did this (which is generally failing to deploy proper sandboxing measures to prevent an AI from going against security) It's not the AI that's rogue, it's the company

I continue to be impressed with the Switch 2's performance. Big budget third party games have no right running this well on it.

A Halo game for a console I don't own? ✔️ A SMT game that I won't get to for months? ✔️ 2 more games to flesh out my general Vita and 3DS collections? ✔️✔️ Plus Apocalypse came with some cool pins that I'm pretty sure the shop just stuffed to the case for free so props to them for that.

Used copies of the PS Vita game Death Mark, the Xbox One game Halo 5, and the 3DS games Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse. There are SMT Apocalypse pins next to the case as well.

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

Getting to it so late; Star Wars Outlaws feels like one of those mid-but-charming Star Wars games you played on the original Xbox for like 3 summers straight because you LOVE Star Wars but your town doesn't have a Blockbuster.

Why did we ever have to get into this "primary" or "secondary" console business? I can't even own each distinct Switch SKU because they can't even follow their own logic and allow a tertiary console. Sorry Switch Lite. Nintendo said I have to get rid of you if I wanna keep the 2 and the OLED.
