My First Week With OpenClaw: An AI That Actually Runs Your PC. I spent the past week experimenting with OpenClaw and posted an honest review of setup on Windows 11.

What do you think of my interior design? Ok, not a whole lot of custom choice here, but I've collected quite a few knickknacks along the way. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, 66% map completion.

I had the chance to play with OpenClaw (Clawdbot) today. I used OpenRouter and one of the free LLMs for the model, with chat over Slack. When I couldn't config Slack for the bot, it fixed the config itself and restarted its own service. Interesting times!

OpenClaw is what Microsoft Copilot should have been.

Many of the levels, enemies, weapons (and even that rolling Buer thing) were the inspiration in Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, which is probably my favorite game of 2025. I'm moving on to Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance next. #gaming #castlevania #nintendo #metroidvania #retro #retrogaming

A USB controller is an option. I like the minimalist playability on the handheld though with the GBA. Did you finish Metroid Prime?

I finished Castlevania Aria of Sorrow on the GBA. This was an amazing game, different from the classic NES as you don't have a whip, but a huge selection of weapons and powers. You absorb enemy skills like in Metroid Fusion. I see Bloodstained Ritual of the Night inspired from this! #metroidvania

I just powered up an old Windows XP virtual machine on Oracle VirtualBox and received an error: E_INVALIDARG 0x80070057. Luckily, the fix was to simply create a new host in VirtualBox and select the existing .vdi disk file. Works perfectly. forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.ph...

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. The skill Zombie Officer Soul says "Jumping while taking damage restores health", but whenever I get hit while in the air I still take damage. It actually means you won’t get knocked backward by attacks - damage is unchanged! Too funny. #castlevania #gaming #retro #gba

I vibe coded an isometric 2D/3D maze game, including special effects for snow, ice glitter sparkles, and torches, and even some dramatic camera zoom effects. primaryobjects.github.io/maze #gaming #programming #isometric #maze #webapp #vibecoding

@omegametroid.bsky.social An easy tactic to defeat the final boss X-Samus on the last level is to stand in the left middle doorway and keep blasting the laser, pushing the X off each time. No need to jump around. :)

I've continued my Metroid streak, finishing out Metroid Fusion on the GBA. Wow, this one was just as fun as Metroid Zero. I'm not even sure which is better. The mutating monsters and absorption of essence was a great addition. Fun game! What should I play next? #metroid #metroidvania #gba #nintendo

I just finished Metroid Zero Mission on the GBA. An amazing game and possibly my favorite of the series! If you're a retro Metroid fan, it's a must-play. As for my stats, I guess I missed a few powerups! #gaming #retrogames #metroid #gba #nintendo @omegametroid.bsky.social

Re: @omegametroid.bsky.social for additional tips and walkthrough.

In Metroid Zero Mission for GameBoy Advance (GBA) an easy trick to beat Mother Brain is stand on the tippy tip of her ledge, jump over her laser, fire 6 missiles, repeat. You avoid most turrets and circles. omegametroid.com/metroid-zero... #metroid #gaming #retrogames #metroidvania

At long last, I've beat Bloodstained Ritual of the Night! What an incredible Metroid/Castlevania game. This is how all modern 2D games should be. The graphics, music, gameplay. #castlevania #metroid #bloodstained #gaming #gamer #metroidvania

I'm pleasantly surprised that my Meteor.js app still deploys flawlessly on Meteor Cloud Galaxy after nearly 10 years. StarCraft builds, Blocks World, and Sussman Anomaly. A web app for AI planning long before the LLMs. #AIPlan #AI #meteorjs #STRIPS

I just finished Phantasy Star Zero on Nintendo DS. I defeated Mother Trinity and the smoke monster thing at level 26. It took a couple of retries to pickup that pattern. #nintendods #nintendo #ps0 #phantasystar #gaming #retrogames

I finished Golden Sun! An excellent rpg game for the Game Boy Advance. It reminded me of Chrono Trigger and perhaps Zelda, with dungeon puzzles. #retrogames #gaming #rpg #sega #gameboy #gba

Zangetsu (Boss) | Bloodstained Ritual of The Night Wiki Zangetsu (Boss) is a Boss in Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night. Zangetsu (Boss) boss guides, strategy, tips, and lore for Entrance's boss encounter.

I found an easy strategy to defeat Zangetsu in Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. Crouch in the door, lethal boots equipped, keep attacking.
This trick works in a lot of games! I've used this strategy in retro games like Golden Axe Warrior too. Bounding boxes! #gaming #PC #castlevania
