@thunderfulgames.bsky.social @sadcatstudios.bsky.social So umm...this is happening to every button prompt on Xbox now. Worked fine yesterday. Restarting the game didn't help.

I only kept playing CoD campaigns out of morbid cusiosity to see how insane they kept getting and the last couple have been hot garbage anyway. Multiplayer has sucked since CoD 4. I'll take a price cut for having to wait a year to play something I was likely going to ignore anyway.
So many frustrated, yet good memories. 🤣
Seriously @huntshowdown.com, you guys have got to do something about cheating. It went from something I barely ran into to something that's happening every couple of matches now. People with pages of CHEATER on their Steam profiles not getting banned. EAC isn't up to it any more.
Game #10 of 2026: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered
A weak remaster of a game many remember fondly, despite its myriad issues because it was a good movie tie-in game in an era where those barely existed. Full review: howlongtobeat.com/user/PXAbstr...
Nice, but also people be crazy only giving that just shy of a 7.
Jerrold, now there's a brand name that instantly takes you back to a very particular time.
Also, girlfriend and I just watched Bad Monkey and are really curious to see where that goes too.
Oh hey! Didn't know you were on here. :)
Don't get me wrong, I'll give it a chance of course. It just really felt like it concluded and that with how everyone dispersed, that it'll require weird circumstances to have them keep crossing paths.
But I'm glad this was by choice. Best wishes! 💪
Shrinking should really have ended with season 3 like Bill Lawrence wanted. It basically did anyway. Whatever Apple forces them to make after this is not going to be good.
Bubble bubble, toil and trouble.
Customer service shout out to Whisker, makers of the Litter Robot. Mine's out of warranty but the pinch sensor keeps tripping in error and interruping cycles. Known design issue with the part.
Asked on Reddit for a workaround and they DM'd and offered to send the $35 kit to fix it for free! Cheers!
One of the most pivotal strategy games ever. Found a big box in mind condition recently and so happy to have it again. ❤️
He literally argues at one point that all the scummy practices we see in many games now like gacha, microtransactions and engagement lock-in are because of platform fees and wouldn't exist if they didn't.
That's one of the most naive takes I've ever heard on the subject.
It's expanded several times since I first wrote it. :)
@kupogames.bsky.social Saw your comment on mrixrt's video. I've liked several of his past ones but man, did he miss the mark on this one.
I left a lengthy comment debunking a number of arguments he made past where you stopped watching. It got worse.
And pushing Xsolla, hoooooo boy...
I don't think it's true but it was rumoured at the time that Stellar Stone used developers who were like indebted to the Russian mob and that's why the game sucked so much.
I'm sure it was just a troll but I was like "I dunno, maybe?"
The best tech allegedly mob indentured labour can buy. 🤣
Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing
Watching Threat Interactive go from an insightful technical voice on the issue of game optimization to crashing out into abusing the DMCA to silence critics and picking stupid fights with some of the most respected tech YouTubers is a Hell of a thing.
Whatever arc he's aiming for ain't working.
Need to watch that again. Been too long.
Still need to replay that one of these days. It's been a minute.
You can see from other tabs that I'm well behind the pace for game completions for this far into the year. Had a ton of work stuff and a death in the family that's sadly eaten away a lot of time.
But there's still more in my backlog than I can ever get to and I'm happy to have such choice.
Back to playing @huntshowdown.com with two of my best friends at the end of most evenings again. It's beating our asses worse than normal, but we still love the pain.
Playing Donkey Kong: Bananza on my lunch breaks and love it to death. Such talent behind it.
Completion list for the year so far.
When the Steam Machine launches, you guys should totally sell that faceplate!
Gonna' get that video made soon! Been a crazy week.
I've got to evaluate what they're doing a bit more first, but yeah. Once I dumped Xwitter, I said I was only going to use this service in a narrow way and only until it became user hostile, like all the other platforms have. This may end up being the exit ramp for me.
Have to say, I'm feeling similar. This was basically the only social media I still used and I always said that I'd only stay here until it inevitably became user hostile like all the others. Feels like we're getting there.
I've got a small list of people to put in my boss' ear when they do more hires. I'll add you to it.
