Checking out the new seasonals. Could get some mileage out of this one.

That always fun troubleshooting process when every other mouse click is getting ignored and you have to figure out if your mouse is dying, the USB drive it's in is dying, or Firefox has finally become so unstable and laggy that it's eating inputs. Some of those are easier to fix than others!

I can tell which YouTube creators forgot to opt out of the AI because their older videos now have arbitrary timestamps which are either vaguely worded, inaccurate, or both. Hate to see it.

With all the crouch-walking he does there's no way he'd be in his 30s.

YouTube's now almost completely unusable after the last update. I'd say they should sack their coders but how do you send an AI a pink slip?

Anyway, SMG is still great and having the achievement set there is adding a lot. At least when I feel capable enough to pull off what it asks of me.

The one I just did involved double-tapping those elastic green bulb things with a long-jump exploit so they'd stretch enough to reach a coin-dropping spiky plant. Another involves spinning a lilypad enough times that it leaves orbit and lets you skip over to an otherwise inaccessible planet.

Completed the first sweep of Super Mario Galaxy and have almost all the RetroAchievements that aren't for Luigi, but I've just found the "all coins" subset and this thing's already kicking my ass. There's honest-to-goodness glitch tech needed here.

I am unable to ascertain whether this reads as criticism of the staidness of the AAA games industry right now or my own diminishing attention span. Lil' of column A, lil' of column B?

Heck of a thing that I'm retreating more and more into an Indie and Retro bubble with my gaming habits. I've barely played more than five hours of FF16 since starting it (and I like it a lot, I just keep getting distracted by smaller games).

The new Ocarina of Time's Baby Link looks like he's about to open a store in Hyrule Castle Town with the earwormiest theme music.

Grubb by a hair. Close one this time. Some mystifying choices from both too, but I guess that's more the limited budget's doing.

Don't forget that copy of Dynowarz. An integral aspect of your business brand.

I just think spring for Sega because of that unmistakable Sonic spring noise. Capcom pretty much has spooky season on lock.

I almost thought that was a headline about what happened to the leakers once Take-Two found them.

I think if I were ever to start a Patreon it'd be one of those single-tier, no-rewards arrangements but instead I'd randomly insert the names of Patrons into reviews as a series of non-sequitur metaphors. But you don't need to be a CarlSmith455 to know whether that's a good idea or not.

I'm watching the SiN anime movie for a thing and they kill off "John C.Armack" in the first five minutes. This might be OK.

He does, but he spends at least an equal amount of time Plemoffing to compensate.
