Two for Tuesday

Posted on August 20, 2024 by baudattitude

After loading up the “Sofa” app with my backlog of Stuff to Play/Watch/etc, I thought I would start tackling some of the items in the list.  “Fighting games” seemed like a reasonably good place to start, since I only had … Continue reading →

Sofa: So good.

Posted on August 15, 2024 by baudattitude

For a while now, my wife has been suggesting I try out an app called Sofa, which is a …collection management app? Maybe that’s not the right term.  The author calls it a “downtime organizer”, and it’s a tool to … Continue reading →

Man Vs. MKV IV: The Quest for Peace

Posted on August 15, 2024 by baudattitude

It’s been a while since I had to face off against my favorite nemesis – the MKV file. Specifically, the sort of MKV files that come out of well-intentioned anime distributors and that make my life hard when what I … Continue reading →

I played some more Fire Emblem

Posted on August 14, 2024 by baudattitude

Elden Ring: OK, time for blasphemy.

Posted on August 7, 2024 by baudattitude

Let’s (not?) Get Physical.

Posted on August 5, 2024 by baudattitude

A few years ago – like, maybe 2017, 2018? – I decided that I was done with physical media.  Games, books, movies, music, you name it, it was going to be ephemeral digital downloads from now on.  No more shelves … Continue reading →

On Digital Graveyards

Posted on August 4, 2024 by baudattitude
