All’s Well That (Endwalkers) Well?

Posted on September 11, 2022 by baudattitude

In which, I finally make some use of my “smart” TV.

Posted on September 6, 2022 by baudattitude

So, a couple of nights ago my wife and I sat down and watched “Luck”, which is an Apple TV+ exclusive animated movie that had a funny enough trailer to actually get me to subscribe to Apple TV+. I have … Continue reading →

Friendship ended with PROJECT DIVA. Now CHRONO CIRCLE is my best friend.

15 Years Blog.

Posted on March 3, 2022 by baudattitude

I remembered an anniversary post! That’s a thing. 15 years of occasionally remembering to post here. The world is a much different place than it was 15 years ago, and I’m not sure anyone really cares about blogs anymore, to … Continue reading →

Work in Progress

Posted on January 16, 2022 by baudattitude

2022. New year. Huh. 2021 was a very bad year for finishing games. I’ve been keeping track since 2007, and my previous fewest-games-in-a-year was 17, back in 2013. In 2021, I finished 5 – and three of them were games … Continue reading →
