Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Season One (part 2) - re:View

It was fun! Definitely wanting more.

Oh shit, didn’t know the demo was out!

I think many people confuse cynicism with intelligence.

I have a lot of problems with this season, but the griping with this is way overblown.

Just watched “that scene” from Stranger Things 5 that everyone’s clowning on.

Honestly, it’s fine. Could it have been trimmed while retaining its effect? Sure. But it makes narrative sense and serves as a poignant resolution to that character’s arc.

The following scene with Nancy, however…

Castlevania did a lot of heavy lifting in my 2025 @retroachievements.org.

Word to the wise: the GBC port of Ghosts ‘n Goblins is pretty great for what it is and VASTLY superior to the NES version.

Masterpiece game. Glad you enjoyed it!

It’s definitely a process! But when you finally master it…

Jay’s naked hatred of Stranger Things gives me life.

Oh, and you can bet I’ll be back to streaming soon.

I’ve finally finished renovating my new office and my daughter’s nursery, and I’m dying to get back into some retro goodness with you all.

2025 was the most beautiful, strange, and challenging year of my life.

I experienced my first year of parenthood, said goodbye to my cat and best friend of 16 years, and re-evaluated my life and its purpose.

I have no idea what this next year will bring, but I’ll make the best of it.

Throwback to when I TKO’d Mike Tyson in Punch-Out!! on stream.

One of my proudest retro gaming achievements. 😁

The Karate Kid is such a mess with so much potential. An ATLUS game featuring one of my favorite franchises. I admire its gameplay ambitions - covering the climactic tournament and major beats of Part II with intermittent minigames - but it ultimately did a lot badly.

Easily the most time I’ve sunk into a game/series in a while. Perfect marriage of story and gameplay loop.

4 games that defined my 2025

(I really like Hades.)

Show me the WHAT?

Asking the important questions.

PS: Yes, I’m wearing a Castlevania scarf.

Merry Christmas, kids! 🎄

What would the wet bandits do if they caught Kevin? Would they actually kill him?

I posted this picture on Reddit because I was proud of it and everyone just railed me for having the console on the top of the TV lol.

My office had a gaming-themed holiday party. Most people did card games and board games.

You know what I did.

My time has come.

My time has come.

Thanks, everyone! 💜

Oh, hey. It’s my birthday.
