A Perfect 7.

Posted on January 10, 2019 by baudattitude

While I talk a lot about specific games on here, I don’t really consider my posts to be “reviews”, and I certainly don’t assign scores to any of the games I talk about.  If I finish something, I think it’s … Continue reading →

Ashen: I couldn’t think of a funny post title.

Posted on January 6, 2019 by baudattitude

Let’s be clear.  I had a wide variety of post titles to choose between, but in the end I couldn’t decide between making a funny play on words involving “ash” or making a Souls reference that would be ever-so-clever but … Continue reading →

On Steam Erasure

Posted on January 2, 2019 by baudattitude

Steam has gotten a little weird lately.  It’s gone from being a place to buy major games that occasionally had really good sales to being a place that’s… well, something of a dumping ground for indie games, and also you … Continue reading →

I’m ready for Nico-Nico-Nioh-Ni

Posted on December 28, 2018 by baudattitude

Coming up on the end of the year here, and I’m ending 2018 in the exact way I ended 2017 – playing Koei Tecmo’s Nioh.  I bought the expansions in, oh, March or so and I had been putting off … Continue reading →

On the topic of toothpicks

Posted on December 22, 2018 by baudattitude

There’s a bit in “So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish” where the main character is asked to reflect upon a society that feels the need to include instructions in a box of toothpicks.  Nowadays we have actually regressed … Continue reading →

Old Soldiers Never Die…

Posted on December 19, 2018 by baudattitude

No posts in a while.  Should say something. My first tech job was working for a sound card manufacturer, and we bundled several… you’d call them codecs now, but we didn’t use that term back then.  Little shim programs that … Continue reading →

On Resurrections

Posted on November 16, 2018 by baudattitude

I’ve spent the last thirty years or so working in what I’ll vaguely define as the “tech industry”, which has included jobs doing everything from grunt-level helpdesk work to being a build engineer and some light development work.  It’s not … Continue reading →

This is all Ian Fleming’s fault.

Posted on November 11, 2018 by baudattitude

I was not a particularly good student in my High School days.  To be quite honest, I developed a bad habit of not actually attending classes.  Our school district had an automated system which would call the houses of truant … Continue reading →
