Call of Damsels: Waifu Wars II

Posted on September 29, 2017 by baudattitude

Sorry, wrong header. OK, that’s better. Valkyria Chronicles is a really good object lesson in why I shouldn’t pay full price for games before I’m actually in the mood to play them.  My sole justification is that I got conditioned, … Continue reading →

I have kitty cat paw print analog stick covers on my Vitas.

Posted on September 24, 2017 by baudattitude

Just look at these things.  They’re glorious.   Also, considering how slippery the Vita’s analog sticks are, they’re way more practical than they have any right to be.  I wish I’d gotten these a few years back. Low effort post … Continue reading →

Is it still OK to save princesses?

Posted on September 24, 2017 by baudattitude

Posted on September 13, 2017 by baudattitude

So, another September, another iPhone reveal.  This year, both an iPhone 8/8+ and an iPhone Executive Edition, neither of which I will buy as my 6s+ is still a ridiculously good phone. Also a new Apple Watch which is slightly … Continue reading →

The End (of 32-bit apps) is Nigh

Posted on September 8, 2017 by baudattitude

Next week’s iPhone presentation is going to be an interesting one.  Apple has never been shy to ditch features (the 30-pin connector, the headphone jack), but it’s known that iOS 11 is going to mean dropping support for 32-bit iOS … Continue reading →

Stuff I bought in Japan 2017: Non-Gaming Edition

Posted on September 1, 2017 by baudattitude
