New on the Secret Area: A little weekend writing about Call of Duty: Warzone, a battle royale mode that I should've disliked but somehow finally clicked.

Yesterday, a few friends and I were talking about the Crysis remaster, and it reminded me of a blog post I wrote back in 2014 about briefly playing games on Intel Integrated graphics.

And yes, it could run Crysis.

dang it I've been eating too many peanut butter eggs lately

had a dream where I was wearing stuff like a dress, tights and socks and felt so pretty

then I woke up and don't feel pretty anymore

I totally forgot that I didn't share that post here on Mastodon until now, whoops

I understand the current crisis with COVID-19 has made a lot of us struggle with money, and I understand that.

If you can't donate, I recommend sharing my stuff, like this post I made back in March about Strife, the Doom engine game that was abandonware for a long time: https://asecretarea.com/2020/03/16/strife-dos/

Decided to put an upcoming post on my Patreon, see how that works out.

Just $1 will get you early access to that post.

About two weeks ago, I saw that infamous Cats movie with @mavica and friends.

Right now, parts of one of the songs is looping in my head.

I hate it.

Look, I understand people are bummed Bernie dropped out. So am I.

But I seriously can't stand those who are like "welp four more years of trump, why even bother"

Could we at least be *somewhat* optimistic here?

Okay, I didn't think alt-tabbing out of Modern Warfare 2019 and renaming the executable by putting a 1 at the end would stop the random crashing I was having, but it worked somehow.

Rewrote an old blog post about stuff I got in 2014, and I forgot I bought Rayman Raving Rabbids for the GBA from a discount store.

It's still in the shrinkwrap with the original stickers.

I wonder if it's any good.

[to the tune of "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting"]
It's 11 o'clock and I wanna sleep
wanna get my body filled with z's

I can't believe in 2012 I wrote an article worrying I was being xenophobic for not writing about Japanese games.

And in that same article I had used "from the rising sun" in the title.

reposted because I confused the day of visibilty with the day of remembrance and I don't know how I did that

oh it's that trans day of visibility thing

I guess I'm still non-binary? lately my gender's been in a mood of "I feel femme sometimes but otherwise I just feel tired" 😪

hey mc hammer, not every song needs to be a prodding slog that's 5 minutes long

save that for the 12" mixes, dude
