Time Capsule Password Fun

Posted on August 5, 2017 by baudattitude

I’m not sure that word means what you think it means. 

Posted on July 24, 2017 by baudattitude

…though, to be fair, there are so many kinds of “exclusive” these days that I may just not understand the particular way in which Galaga on a Switch is different from Galaga on any of the other systems I have … Continue reading →

Oh hey, it’s a Pokémon with a bone, guy looks like he came out of the Flintstones.  Cute! Wait, what? WHAT What in the actual hell, Nintendo? I have no previous exposure to Pokémon outside of seeing the first half-dozen … Continue reading →

Posted on July 23, 2017 by baudattitude

I have some things coming up next month that are going to leave absolutely zero time for games, so I have been ignoring virtually every other project on my “to-do” list in favor of trying to finish Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE. … Continue reading →

I did not need another console

Posted on July 14, 2017 by baudattitude

I 4kd up.

Posted on July 11, 2017 by baudattitude

A few months back, I went on a prolonged rant/rave about having my primary monitor die and how I’d replaced it with a new 4k display and how shiny it was. It turned out that this was not, actually, the … Continue reading →

In which, I succumb to gamification

Posted on July 10, 2017 by baudattitude

So, a little backstory here. Literally. For a few years now, I have had recurring pain in the lower right corner of my back, something that I chalked up to the inevitable advances of age. Never enough to be serious, … Continue reading →

It’s 2017, and I’m… I’m repeating myself, aren’t I?

Posted on July 6, 2017 by baudattitude

The 3DS Mii Plaza “Line” feature is needlessly complicated

Posted on June 22, 2017 by baudattitude
