It's a lot bigger than I thought; I can't even wrap my hand around it. Looks hot though, and it feels good to handle. Penis.

I've been playing Bloodstained and quite enjoying it, but I just got stuck for an hour. Looked at a guide, and it turns out...that progression was locked by a random enemy drop.

"I'm not a soldier / but I'm fighting / Can you hear me through the silence? / I won't give up 'cuz there will be a day / We'll Meet Again." Keep on keepin' on, all. Have some new TheFatRat.

Well, would you look at what day it is! Ten years already, that's slightly more than 1/3 of my entire life. The site has changed a lot over the years, friends have come and gone, but my feeling for this place and community is very much the same.

Man, that sucks. I used to watch Mythbusters religiously (still would, if it were available to stream easily), and the Build Team always seemed like cool people.

Finished Future Connected today, in basically one sitting. It was a nice little expansion on Melia's character (who has never been cooler!) and the new area has some lovely music. The only thing that I found weird was *spoilers in comments*.

Finally finished Xenoblade again. Such a fantastic game, and the ending does things to me man. Now on to Future Connected; I'm really looking forward to what that will have in store for me. Spoilers in comments.

I'm not feeling my best right now. I'm waiting for a decision on extension of my PhD, and finding motivation for my next article is hard. I really need to sleep better, but at least I can start doing sports/see friends again very soon. Send good vibes.

Min Min may very well be my favorite Smash DLC character so far. Very unique and fun to play. Her Megawatt arm can kill even uncharged (Smash Megawatt kills at 80 - 90). If you're in control of the fight she's buff as hell, but she buckles under pressure.

So I've been sleeping on Bloodstained (although I did play Curse of the Moon) until the current Steam Sale. The €5 bonus discount sealed it. Having just played through the tutorial area, I have to ask: why didn't you guys convince me to get this sooner?

The Netherlands just announced significant reopening since our numbers in recent weeks have been hopeful. It looks like soon we get to do sports again, visit friends, go to restaurants, and even sex workers can start doing their thing again (because NL).

Not gonna lie, I was fully banking on Ribbon Girl. I'm down with the Min though!

Hot dang, Sakurai has a nice place!

The glory that is @sonic hedgehog is stepping down. Or moving up, rather. All the best to him, and keep going fast.

We're doing our first D&D session with coworkers tomorrow. I'm trying to come up with a character, but the DM won't let me be one of those cool bird-dudes (basically Rito), and we already have a monk. Bummer! Any suggestions, fellow nerds?

Pokémon Snap WHADDUP!

There's a Pokémon toothbrushing game coming and the lady narrating the ad sounds...less than thrilled. This is the least enthousiastic I've ever heard someone talk about Pokémon.

It's kinda interesting to me how Youtube comments went from 90% bile to 90% regurgitated memes in the last two years or so. Like if you're reading this in 2020 and you're about to destroy this man's whole career while Nobody: holds your beer.

Twin-stick shooter with a cool comic book/western aesthetic and voiced by Ron Perlman? Yeah, I'm down.

More info on Paper Mario. It still looks pretty Color Splash-y. There do seem to be partners (including Kamek and Bowser Jr.?), but it looks like the battle system mostly revolves around the ring system; making it more of a puzzle.

I kinda feel the same about PS5 as I do about 4: there's a number of games I'd love to play on it, but not enough up my alley that make it worth splurging all that money/time/room space on. I'll enjoy a HZD2 Let's Play though, while praying for a PC port.

Yakuza players, help me out. Why can't I call Ron on this 1 of stones and win the round? I've been trying to play Mahjong, but goddamn it's tough.

Love Machine ain’t got shit on me. Koi Koi, motherfucker.

...I see.

I finished my first teaching course recently, and my students have just finished taking their exam...and there were technical difficulties. This super sucks; I wanted to leave them with a positive feeling of our course, but this will be a sour aftertaste.

Good lord, dat quest tracking.

After a long long time, once again...I'm really feeling it.

So I don't know who this host person is and not gonna lie he seems somewhat...greasy, but the rest of this is solid gold. Incredible people responsible for some of my fondest memories.

I finally got one of my grumpy villagers to leave, so I spent the morning cycling through Nook Miles islands to find a better friend. And then one of my very first encounters was Rodney of all people. Nope'd the fuck out; he can stay on a deserted island.

Does anybody have experience with taking apart/internal cleaning Switch pro controllers? By freak accident I managed to spill ketchup on it, and now my X button is wonky. It still responds fine, but it doesn’t “click” on push like the other buttons.
