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

It’s no coincidence that my trip to Japan this year overlapped Comic Market.  It’s been a solid decade since the last time I went, and that was apparently enough time for me to forget how absolutely miserable it is to … Continue reading →

Stuff I bought in Japan 2017: Gaming Edition

Posted on September 1, 2017 by baudattitude

Every time I go to Japan, I tell myself (and anyone who will listen) “Oh, this isn’t just a shopping trip, I have lots of things I will be doing that aren’t shopping.” And then I add up the receipts … Continue reading →

I played some Kritika Online

Posted on August 31, 2017 by baudattitude

My last post talked about grinding my Tera character, a tiny bunny girl with a giant axe, up to level 65 during the Tera level-up event so I could get her a Pegasus.  That went pretty well!  It only took … Continue reading →

I played some Tera

Posted on August 28, 2017 by baudattitude

I have managed to mostly avoid playing MMOs since, mmm, January of this year, which has done wonders for my backlog and for my self-esteem in general.  I am far too prone to getting in to the loop of grinding … Continue reading →

My Pokémons, allow me to display them to you

Posted on August 22, 2017 by baudattitude

There will probably be a bunch of “look at the swag I brought home from Japan” posts here in the next few days.  They are low-effort, and that’s good because one of the things I brought home appears to have … Continue reading →

The MOS “Tokyo Tower Cheese Burger”

Posted on August 19, 2017 by baudattitude

While MOS Burger is pretty ubiquitous throughout Japan and many of its neighbor countries, it’s more-or-less unknown outside of the region. That’s a shame, because it’s a good alternative to McDonalds or Burger King.  It has the image of being … Continue reading →

“Pink dot” Caramel Banana Pancakes, I should not have eaten you.

Posted on August 18, 2017 by baudattitude

I woke up this morning, my last full day in Japan, with the realization that I’d really accomplished everything I’d set out to do while here, I was running a little low on cash, and I should find a cheap … Continue reading →

No Hoots Given

Posted on August 13, 2017 by baudattitude

A couple of years ago, I spent two weeks in China, more-or-less evenly divided between Beijing and Shanghai. I really don’t have a lot of positive things to say about the country, as a result. There was no sense of … Continue reading →

I Caught Roughly 17% Of Them All

Posted on August 13, 2017 by baudattitude

Pokémon is probably the most significant series of video games that I’ve never spent more than a few minutes with, but the few times I’ve stumbled into related discussions online it’s been like trying to follow a completely different language.  … Continue reading →
