Do not question my commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Posted on July 7, 2026 by baudattitude

OK, back to wholesome fare.  Fighting evil with the power of Sparkle. No, really. I’ve kind of gotten into the habit of picking up first party Nintendo releases whenever I go to Japan.  While I’m not a superfan of all … Continue reading →

I’m still a degenerate, god damn it

Posted on July 6, 2026 by baudattitude

Occasionally, I like to read through recent posts to remind myself of what I’ve been up to.  The answer is usually “wasting my life away playing video games” but realistically I’m well into middle age and starting to think it … Continue reading →

Trophy chasing and Ubisoft generosity

Posted on July 4, 2026 by baudattitude

Following up my play through of the original Assassin’s Creed game a few weeks back by downloading the free expansion for Assassin’s Creed Mirage made perfect sense.  Basim may not have the charisma of an Ezio, Kassandra or Bayek, but … Continue reading →

Up in the Air, Junior Birdman

Posted on June 24, 2026 by baudattitude

We’re just coming out of Peak Videogame Hype Season, and of course I dutifully watched the States of Play and the Directs and the ..whatever the other things were.  There were a lot of neat trailers – I’m especially looking … Continue reading →

Questionable Uses of my Spare Time

Posted on June 14, 2026 by baudattitude

A few years back, I saw a random forum thread recommending “Terminator: Resistance”, though admittedly “recommending” is probably an optimistic way to put it.  The basic thesis of the starting post was that it was admittedly a pretty mid game … Continue reading →

Fun with History

Posted on June 6, 2026 by baudattitude

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the Assassin’s Creed games. I play most of them, though usually a couple of years after release.  I kind of bounced off of Valhalla and I skipped Shadows, but I’m looking … Continue reading →

Console Peasantry Continues

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 →
