Posted on August 15, 2024 by baudattitude

It’s been a while since I had to face off against my favorite nemesis – the MKV file. Specifically, the sort of MKV files that come out of well-intentioned anime distributors and that make my life hard when what I … Continue reading →

I played some more Fire Emblem

Posted on August 14, 2024 by baudattitude

I think that title is read as “Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia” but I guess it’s possible that “Echoes” goes at the end.  If I had the box it might be more clear, but I bought it off the … Continue reading →

The Evil(?) is defeated

Posted on August 14, 2024 by baudattitude

OK, so.  This is really just a post I’m putting up so I can find it later when I’ve forgotten how to do something.  But sometimes these might be useful to people who aren’t me!  I hope, anyway. Today’s post … Continue reading →

Now, for something completely cozy.

Posted on August 8, 2024 by baudattitude

While it’s a pretty shameful thing to admit, I’m getting some more gaming time in after being laid off last month.  I SHOULD be, you know, working on my resume and hitting the bricks… but the severance package was quite … Continue reading →

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 →

Ranking Apples

Posted on April 19, 2024 by baudattitude

OK, this won’t be a post debating the merits of different varieties of fruit.  It’s a spin-off from a work conversation where I was complaining that it was annoying to bring a separate charger for your Apple Watch but at … 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 →
