I'm doing what all the cool kids are doing on a Wednesday night: documenting the controls for Starcraft: Ghost, and backing up my debug Xbox hard drive.

What is everyone else up to?

My mom did that! She tried to feed me rice cakes like 31 years ago. Even as a kid I was like "this is bullshit."

I've finished a complete viewing of The Golden Girls, from start to finish.

Yes, be awed and impressed by me.

I think you might be a bit more curvy than the regular Helly. Still, a cool look, :)

"Oh great, I opened another Alpha pack and got yet another Black Lotus drop. This is my fourth in just the past 15 minutes. I don't have time for this useless bullshit anymore."

The Golden Girls, more prescient today than it was 33 years ago:

Well, I picked up a used copy of the last actually good Burnout game:

Heh, the Witcher 3 ruined a years old friendship of mine, lol

I finished four seasons of watching The Golden Girls on DVD, as I played/beat PWS 2.

Have any of them become a real estate agent? That's where most actresses tend to go, after they stop acting.

How dare you insult my 14 year old, 24 inch Viore TV.

Theo Von is like the grown-up version of "Cro", just with an even shittier haircut.

humanityplague.bsky.social @humanityplague.bsky.social · 4d

How'd you like The Craft?

humanityplague.bsky.social @humanityplague.bsky.social · 6d

How come you're feeling sad?

humanityplague.bsky.social @humanityplague.bsky.social · 6d

You like Zelda? Dork! :P

I've hit season 6 of The Golden Girls and it continues to be good. But man, I wish Empty Nest was on DVD. The few crossovers GG has had, have been fun. I miss Harry.

Ethan should go work at Epic. They'll get their Games Store off the ground, any day now.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

humanityplague.bsky.social @humanityplague.bsky.social · 7d

Drat, I'm on PC. And I don't think there is crossplay. :(

humanityplague.bsky.social @humanityplague.bsky.social · 7d

What platform are you playing on?

The AI is legitimately terrible. It's more rubber band-like than prior games. There's also collision and other wonky physics behavior. Only 3 race types, the environment all looks the same. I only found about 3 or 4 "Sky Track" races.

That game, remains, one of the biggest con jobs in the world. Maybe not intentionally, but it tries to pull the wool over your eyes, pretending its one thing when it's not.

Sonic Adventure 1 is another good example.

I thought you were going to say "doing one of my favorite things: looking fabulous".

I don't go to church on Sunday. I just play an hour of this every Sunday and that'll get me into Heaven when I eventually die:

humanityplague.bsky.social @humanityplague.bsky.social · 10d

When are you going to do your bathtub shoot? :P

humanityplague.bsky.social @humanityplague.bsky.social · 10d

That's the ultimate permadeath mode.
