Sometimes one must introduce your internet friends to local Portland personalities like Ramblin' Rod

whose gimmick was literally a big coat with a ton of buttons on it, promoting Chuck E. Cheese to kids

watching wade dankpods' video "big companies make the worst junk" which is him talking about like, cheap MP3 players that brands just slap their name on it

sometimes he finds out these have been used, with someone's music on them

if I was wade dankpods I'd literally copy all the music over because hey, free* music

Took me a while to realize, but VRChat is cool even if you don't have a VR headset

Need to hangout with some friends more

earlier I was thinking about this being on a shirt

like one of those Big Dogs kind of shirts where they use various fonts on the text and a cool dog is on it for some reason it

some angry gamer saw my blog post about Celeste, decided to go through all the hoops to post a comment where they hurled slurs at me

it's sad, but amusing since I can just delete the comment, thus wasting his time completely

(gangster voice) this is a test of the emergency broadchasing system

happy PlayStation, Dreamcast and Beatles Rock Band day, everybody

I've gone from "lethargic and barely able to do anything" to "lethargic but can at least do a few things around the house"

which I *guess* is an improvement?

after finishing Wolfenstein: The New Order, a 2014 game, on an Xbox 360, I think playing powerful games on weaker hardware is cool and people should do it more

it's amazing seeing how much effort developers take to make a game playable on 9-year-old hardware

playing a last generation version of a game that's best played on modern consoles and PC is neat

honestly tempted to write more words about it in the future
