Posted on May 28, 2026 by baudattitude

OK, so. Astro Bot on the PS5 was incredibly pretty, and I’ve been putting in a bunch of hours in Genshin, and I loaded up Stellar Blade because I wanted a HDR showcase and that game has a lot of … Continue reading →

What a difference 18 months makes. (Or, why I’m a filthy console peasant again)

Posted on May 23, 2026 by baudattitude

So.  Back in the fall of 2024 I boxed up my XBOX Series X and my PS5 and took them over to the local Gamestop and took the (fairly generous) trade-in credit they offered in return.  And it felt pretty … Continue reading →

In which, I buy a console and fall down the rabbit hole.

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 April 18, 2026 by baudattitude

OK.  Technically I have played Donkey Kong games before.  To be very precise, I have played Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, and Donkey Kong 3. Donkey King 3 was released to arcades 43 years ago. I understand there have been … Continue reading →

19 Years Blog! Also Resident Evil: Requiem.

Posted on March 3, 2026 by baudattitude

Today marks 19 years of occasionally screaming into the void, and I’m happy about that.  The void is presumably less happy because it probably doesn’t like being screamed at but who cares, it’s just the void. There are of course … Continue reading →

Now THIS is procrastination.

Posted on February 22, 2026 by baudattitude

So this weekend marked the third time I’ve gone back to a PS3 game to get the platinum trophy long after finishing the game, and I’ve set a new record that I’m unlikely to top any time soon. Previous iterations … Continue reading →

Even less likely than the Year of the Linux Desktop: The year of the AAA Mac gaming?

Posted on February 9, 2026 by baudattitude

OK, so.  I’ll admit that the number of modern high-budget console-style releases that have gotten Mac releases in the last few years can be easily counted without running out of fingers.  For all that Apple is the biggest gaming company … Continue reading →

I Finished a Mascot Platformer

Posted on January 26, 2026 by baudattitude

It’s certainly nothing to brag about, but I was pretty happy to get through the last bits of Super Mario Bros. Wonder over the last week.  I’m not exactly the world’s biggest Mario guy, but I happened to be in … Continue reading →

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

Posted on December 31, 2025 by baudattitude

…well, maybe it will be my year.  With some caveats. I spent a lot of time this year working on homelab projects that involved Linux in one form or another – Proxmox and Unraid, Bazzite and Omarchy – and while … Continue reading →

Lucky Numbers Seven

Posted on December 20, 2025 by baudattitude
