Yer a Gamer, Harry.

Posted on October 3, 2026 by baudattitude

Last month I mentioned that, despite not really being a big Harry Potter fan, I’d been inspired by some recent donut purchases to give the 2023 game a try, and that my initial reaction was quite positive. I can’t claim … Continue reading →

And now, something completely different.

Posted on September 19, 2026 by baudattitude

I was up in Canada a couple of weekends ago, and Tim Horton’s is running a collaboration with the Harry Potter franchise that includes some very tasty donuts and some rather tacky merch.  I ate a lot of the donuts … Continue reading →

OK, let’s talk Cronos: The New Dawn.

Posted on September 19, 2026 by baudattitude

The most important thing you need to know about Cronos is that it lets you find hidden cats in the world, and they go back to your base and you can pet them and have conversations with them.  Honestly, that … Continue reading →

In which, I learn the value of giving up.

Posted on September 16, 2026 by baudattitude

A few weeks back, I checked Cronos: The New Dawn out from the local library, without knowing much about it.  It looked like it would do nicely as a follow up to my Resident Evil binge from last year, and … Continue reading →

I tried to play a silly meme game, and wound up accidentally learning something.

Posted on September 7, 2026 by baudattitude

So, X – or at least the feed served up to me by the Almighty Algorithm – has been buzzing about a very silly “jump rope roguelike” called Scarlet Skips recently. I think that’s partially because the concept of a … Continue reading →

Brave X Junction: In which, I play Blackjack for ten hours straight.

Posted on September 6, 2026 by baudattitude

Yes, the “X” is part of the name.  I assume that it’s silent, like the X in Hunter X Hunter, Spy X Family or Highschool DXD.  I really do wonder where this style of naming came from, sometimes.  It’s not … Continue reading →

So nice, we remastered it twice?

Posted on August 24, 2026 by baudattitude

Twice may not be right?  There’s an argument to be made that Halo: Campaign Evolved is actually the third remaster of the Xbox original, but I’m going to choose to think of the version from the Master Chief collection as … Continue reading →

“My 9 Games” and what they say

Posted on August 23, 2026 by baudattitude

Stumbled across an interesting site today, “My 9 Games”, which is a site where you go and choose the 9 most influential video games in your life.  I’d seen the output from it on X a bunch of times but … Continue reading →

Talking to a Raspberry Pi 3B Over Serial For Fun and… Profit?

Posted on August 21, 2026 by baudattitude

It has only taken me 19 years, 5 months, and 18 days since creating a blog titled “Baud Attitude” before I finally wrote something that justified the horrible pun contained therein. For anyone that did not come of nerd age … Continue reading →

This feels wrong.

Posted on August 19, 2026 by baudattitude

This is, I think, my fourth time playing through the original Halo campaign – though in a variety of ways over the years.  There was a run-through of the original back in 2007, then I used the “Anniversary” remake as … Continue reading →
