This story made my day @vgtomo.bsky.social. Iโ€™m sharing it with a few people from the team Iโ€™m still in touch with. Glad people still love this game <3

Saturday afternoon project. My son has been very hard on his laptop keyboard, so I replaced it. I had to take almost every component out and remove the screen from the body shell to get it done, but it worked.

Iโ€™m hoping we have a tight enough scene that if someone spots this stuff for sale we can catch these shitheads

Similar feelings here. SD and Switch 2 are my most used machines at this point. I always try to get things for SD first. And I'm more into tinkering, but I love that SteamOS doesn't require it. You can get into the weeds if you want, but if you don't want, it mostly Just Works.

I'm pretty sure I want a GabeCube. No I didn't make that up, but I love it.

Brie Larson and Benny Safdie are going to be great. Particularly excited for Larson. Chris Pratt still sounds so so wrong as Mario. Sigh.

I think I paid around $50 each for those two. I feel like they were full price. Itโ€™s been a long time though.

The Video Game History Expansion Pack โ€“ Pitch your story Today Iโ€™m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project โ€” a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)

I was already mostly done with GameStop. Now Iโ€™m completely done with GameStop. Particularly over their later post.

So heโ€™s created a crappy multimedia CD-ROM game 30 years late. Genius.

And yet I'd argue the gap between Space Wars and GTA3 is much greater than the gap between GTA3 and now.

MiSTer at home. Switch 2 or Steam Deck while traveling.

I played with it a little at the Thai Game Show this week. I obviously didnโ€™t get as much time with it as you did, but it makes a kinda meh first impression. Iโ€™m good with my Steam Deck and Switch 2.

Wow I canโ€™t express my opinion about othersโ€™ opinions without the โ€œyou must hear my opinionโ€ fandom being at my throat.

Sorry, couldnโ€™t help myself :D

One of the goals I set for myself this year is to read more fiction. As of mid August I hadnโ€™t even started. But now Iโ€™ve read five novels and Iโ€™m starting another one this evening. My goal is to finish twelve before the end of the year. Itโ€™s been fun. I definitely want to keep this up.

$30 a month? Iโ€™m sure glad weโ€™ve got a Gamepass at home. At this point Iโ€™m just buying new games I want to support and playing through the backlog. This subscription stuff is bad for us.

My youngest son and I are playing Split Fiction currently. Weโ€™re in Chapter 3. This game is absolutely wonderful. Wow.

For #randomgamesaturday hereโ€™s an odd one. My wife and I initially bonded over love of video games, horror movies and music. We got married on a Friday the 13th. And so, for every year of marriage, Iโ€™ve given her another copy of this absolute masterpiece of a game.

Iโ€™m still not sure how to convince people to care about other humans, but as the weeks go by, Iโ€™m getting more concerned about how safe it is to express such an idea out loud.
