Posted on April 21, 2026 by baudattitude

So for about a year and a half, I didn’t own any modern consoles.  Well, barring the Switch and later the Switch 2, but I think we can sorta hand wave Nintendo away as being its own thing. And the … Continue reading →

In which, I give another Nintendo Mascot a try.

Posted on January 26, 2026 by baudattitude

2026 still isn’t going to be the Year of the Linux Desktop, but…

Posted on December 31, 2025 by baudattitude
