Looks like we’re getting some more withered technology?

Posted on February 20, 2024 by baudattitude

The internet went a little nuts today because apparently the Switch successor has been pushed back to 2025.  I doubt I’ll be anywhere near to done with my backlog by then, so it seems fine to me. Honestly, the system … Continue reading →

Finally, a trophy waifu.

Posted on February 12, 2024 by baudattitude

Despite being a big dang gamer nerd, I don’t have many platinum trophies.  Most of them are rhythm games or Soulslikes, and while either of those represents a certain amount of dedication they cannot compare to the time it took … Continue reading →

Posted on February 5, 2024 by baudattitude

If you scroll back a few months of posts – which isn’t that many posts, embarrassingly enough – you’ll come to a post of mine from September 2022 where I made fun of myself for completing the first Season Pass … Continue reading →

Posted on December 18, 2023 by baudattitude

I have a bad habit of reading online forum threads and deciding to conduct experiments based on them, and that’s why I spent a lot of my Thanksgiving weekend playing random matches of Call of Duty multiplayer. This is very … Continue reading →

In which, I talk about a post-apocalyptic anime waifu tactical cover shooter gacha mobile game.

Posted on November 10, 2023 by baudattitude

So I have a dirty little secret.  I’ve been playing, and enjoying, a game about cute cyborg girls with big guns.  That wouldn’t be too shameful, on the face of it, but there’s one thing I feel desperately compelled to … Continue reading →

Getting ahead of the digital future

Posted on September 9, 2023 by baudattitude

WoW Cheevo Spam

Posted on August 20, 2023 by baudattitude

It’s pretty common that no posts in a while = I’ve been playing too much of an MMO.  The recent one has been WoW, and I thought I’d share some of what I’ve been up to. The game got its … Continue reading →

Call of Cutey: Alchemical Warfare

Posted on June 24, 2023 by baudattitude

Even though you’d think the Atelier series would be smack dab in my wheelhouse, I’ve never played any of them.  It’s a combination of (a) being afraid of time limits, which were a Thing in the earlier titles and (b) … Continue reading →
