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

A butter dish.

These children. I don’t know what I did to deserve this but yeah.

This might have to be his next machine.

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.

I’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. It’s been a long time though.

Introducing the boy to Dead Space tonight.

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — 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 I’m completely done with GameStop. Particularly over their later post.

So he’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 didn’t get as much time with it as you did, but it makes a kinda meh first impression. I’m good with my Steam Deck and Switch 2.

This won’t impact audio

Wow I can’t express my opinion about others’ opinions without the “you must hear my opinion” fandom being at my throat.

Sorry, couldn’t help myself :D

So far:
Isaac Asimov's Galactic Empire trilogy
Raymond Chandler - Farewell My Lovely
Hannah Kaner - Godkiller
Next up is We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis Taylor

One of the goals I set for myself this year is to read more fiction. As of mid August I hadn’t even started. But now I’ve read five novels and I’m starting another one this evening. My goal is to finish twelve before the end of the year. It’s been fun. I definitely want to keep this up.

$30 a month? I’m sure glad we’ve got a Gamepass at home. At this point I’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. We’re in Chapter 3. This game is absolutely wonderful. Wow.

repost with a game from the year you were born! (Get off my lawn!)

A stack of copies of Friday the 13th for the NES

For #randomgamesaturday here’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, I’ve given her another copy of this absolute masterpiece of a game.

The original Godzilla. 1954.

Movie night in Kilbornia.

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