Elden Ring: OK, time for blasphemy.

Posted on August 7, 2024 by baudattitude

I finished* Elden Ring today.  That’s “Finished*” with a big ol’ Roger-Maris-61* style asterisk, because after about four hours of hoping the final boss would get tired of bruising his knuckles with my face I finally gave up and summoned … Continue reading →

Let’s (not?) Get Physical.

Posted on August 5, 2024 by baudattitude

A few years ago – like, maybe 2017, 2018? – I decided that I was done with physical media.  Games, books, movies, music, you name it, it was going to be ephemeral digital downloads from now on.  No more shelves … Continue reading →

On Digital Graveyards

Posted on August 4, 2024 by baudattitude

Entirely self-indulgent post today, because I finally took like two hours to answer a really trivial question that has been bugging me for, at this point, literal years. See, back in early 2008 I played through the campaign mode of … Continue reading →

I played another Call of Duty. It was pretty good!

Posted on April 23, 2024 by baudattitude

Recently, I sat down with a couple games that weren’t soulless mobile gacha cash grabs, and I even finished two of them.  One was Stray, which was a game I’m not entirely sure I enjoyed but did make me think, … Continue reading →

Ermagahd I’m actually caught up.

Posted on April 2, 2024 by baudattitude

With all of the posts about various mobile games of late, you would be forgiven for assuming that I had gone completely astray and succumbed to Live Service Game Madness.  Mostly because it’s kinda true? However – and this is … Continue reading →

Displaying the Undisplayable

Posted on March 22, 2024 by baudattitude

OK, “undisplayable” may be a little harsh.  But I don’t think it’s an entirely unfounded statement that your average fanboy is going to wind up with a ton of cool THINGS that they want to have on display but that … Continue reading →

Three years later, I’ve finished Blue Archive

Posted on March 19, 2024 by baudattitude

So I should start with a flashback to March of 2021, when everyone in my home state was still dealing with pandemic lockdowns.  We had some of the more severe restrictions in the nation, and everyone was pretty much dealing … Continue reading →

17 Years Blog

Posted on March 3, 2024 by baudattitude

So there’s at least three things to remember March 3rd for.  The Nintendo Switch launched on March 3, and it’s also Macross Best Girl Misa Hayase’s birthday. It’s also when I decided that the internet NEEDED to be subjected to … Continue reading →

Looks like we’re getting some more withered technology?

Posted on February 20, 2024 by baudattitude

The internet went a little nuts today because apparently the Switch successor has been pushed back to 2025.  I doubt I’ll be anywhere near to done with my backlog by then, so it seems fine to me. Honestly, the system … Continue reading →
