Posted on May 22, 2020 by baudattitude

Thanks to the combined forces of Corona-chan, heavy rains locally, and a rapidly-dwindling work ethic, I have been getting some significant work done on pruning the backlog. The most recent “big” game I’ve finished was Assassin’s Creed: Origins, which was … Continue reading →

So, some open spoilers in this post, hopefully people will not be too upset as I’m talking about a game from 2012. I originally played Assassin’s Creed III over the course of a weekend, shortly after release, skipping all of … Continue reading →

I am weak to cute things

Posted on April 9, 2020 by baudattitude

Social distancing continues.  From scrolling through social media, some of my friends and extended family are handling it better than others. From the perspective of a Gen-Xer, however, it really hasn’t been that weird.  We grew up convinced that we … Continue reading →

Duncatchin’

OK, I finished Ori and the Blind Forest. Then I finished the sequel.

Posted on March 27, 2020 by baudattitude

Nintendo has come a long way

Posted on February 4, 2020 by baudattitude

I am not going to be the very best, like no one ever was

Posted on February 2, 2020 by baudattitude

I’m about three hours into Pokémon Black “Version 2” and have passed the first gym. It was a god-damned virtual bloodbath.  I’m not good at this.  On the other hand, the stuff I am fighting now that I am past … Continue reading →
