In which, I play a Kirby game.

Posted on November 10, 2026 by baudattitude

Thanks to the power of the dollar/yen exchange rate, I’ve been experimenting with a bunch of different long-running Nintendo franchises, and everyone’s favorite pink Devourer of Worlds is the latest. No, I’ve never played a Kirby game before.  Well, technically … Continue reading →

2026 Wasn’t the year of the Linux Desktop for me, and it was a good thing.

Posted on November 4, 2026 by baudattitude

That may be the single most clickbait title I’ve ever written.  Before you get out the pitchforks and torches, it’s only a good thing because it let me avoid a supply-chain attack that could have made for a very bad … Continue reading →

It’s the end of October. I should play a spooky game.

Posted on October 29, 2026 by baudattitude

If we look back to last October, I decided that it was seasonally appropriate to make a serious attempt at coming to terms with the Resident Evil series, as it’s one of those long-running series that I’ve never managed to … Continue reading →

I assure you, this was of critical importance.

Posted on October 25, 2026 by baudattitude

I’m about six months shy of twenty years of posting stuff here, and about a hundred people – or, more likely, random web crawlers – stumble across one or another of my posts every day.  That’s not exactly huge, but … Continue reading →

Yer a Gamer, Harry.

Posted on October 3, 2026 by baudattitude

Last month I mentioned that, despite not really being a big Harry Potter fan, I’d been inspired by some recent donut purchases to give the 2023 game a try, and that my initial reaction was quite positive. I can’t claim … Continue reading →

And now, something completely different.

Posted on September 19, 2026 by baudattitude

I was up in Canada a couple of weekends ago, and Tim Horton’s is running a collaboration with the Harry Potter franchise that includes some very tasty donuts and some rather tacky merch.  I ate a lot of the donuts … Continue reading →

OK, let’s talk Cronos: The New Dawn.

Posted on September 19, 2026 by baudattitude

The most important thing you need to know about Cronos is that it lets you find hidden cats in the world, and they go back to your base and you can pet them and have conversations with them.  Honestly, that … Continue reading →

In which, I learn the value of giving up.

Posted on September 16, 2026 by baudattitude

A few weeks back, I checked Cronos: The New Dawn out from the local library, without knowing much about it.  It looked like it would do nicely as a follow up to my Resident Evil binge from last year, and … Continue reading →

I tried to play a silly meme game, and wound up accidentally learning something.

Posted on September 7, 2026 by baudattitude

So, X – or at least the feed served up to me by the Almighty Algorithm – has been buzzing about a very silly “jump rope roguelike” called Scarlet Skips recently. I think that’s partially because the concept of a … Continue reading →

Brave X Junction: In which, I play Blackjack for ten hours straight.

Posted on September 6, 2026 by baudattitude

Yes, the “X” is part of the name.  I assume that it’s silent, like the X in Hunter X Hunter, Spy X Family or Highschool DXD.  I really do wonder where this style of naming came from, sometimes.  It’s not … Continue reading →
