I've finally finished up with making my tutorial on using the Heroic Games Launcher on Linux.

I hate that it took me about a week to make this video. Let me know what you guys think of the video.

Got a new video. I've finally tried out Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on Linux. Note that I was using the flatpak version of PPSSPP which was not as up-to-date as the AppImage version of PPSSPP.

Since moving to Bluesky, I've noticed that I've gotten some of the kindest and most supportive followers of my content that I've ever had.

When you work so hard to create content that you hope brings joy to others, it's nice to have genuine positivity returned to you.

It just means a lot to me. 💜

I want to take a moment to honor the late Jerry Lawson, the Electronic Engineer who led the design of the 'Fairchild Channel F' console and also designed the FIRST interchangeable game (ROM) cartridges.

The game industry wouldn't be what it is today without Jerry's brilliance. (cont..)

“Reform”, huh? Yeah just need to do a little tweaking

Boomers need to get the hell out of the way already. Beyond useless. So fucking tired of people my dad’s age having so much power
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

I know the world is scary and depressing right now.

But don't forget to protect your peace. Video games help me recharge and escape when I feel overwhelmed, and sometimes we need that. We're all human.

It's good to fight back, but you can't fight as hard if your mind is heavy. Take care of it too.

I finally got around to trying out my favorite PS1 game, Castlevania Symphony of the Night on Linux via DuckStation.

This is truly a timeless classic for me.

I think it's lame that investors are more interested in AI slop from Google than games made by real people.

I'm going to have to check these out. Thanks GOG.
Few series have shaped gaming like FINAL FANTASY.

Today, four iconic entries join GOG – DRM-free and preserved for the future!

FINAL FANTASY III (3D Remake)
FINAL FANTASY IV (3D Remake)
FINAL FANTASY VIII – Remastered
FINAL FANTASY IX

Relive the magic!

This seems ok, I guess??? But I think it would be better if you had a shit-for-brains Nazi brandishing a chainsaw come on stage saying he'll cut all the waste and save billions of dollars, and proceed to do no such thing, line his own pockets, and peace out.
This morning, I joined PIX11 to announce a new executive order requiring every city agency to designate a Chief Savings Officer.

Within 45 days, these officers will identify which city services deliver the strongest results for New Yorkers—and where we can streamline processes and cut waste.

Neptunia and Death end re;Quest fans had to deal with this nonsense from Nintendo. It's a shame that they're still doing this to other games.
Dispatch is censored on Switch, as mandated by Nintendo:

"We worked with Nintendo to ensure the content within the title met the criteria to release on their platforms[...]core narrative and gameplay experience remains identical to the original release" said AdHoc

"The core narrative and gameplay experience remains identical" AdHoc reassures Dispatch players on Switch as it confirms Nintendo platform versions are censored
Dispatch is gearing up for its debut on Switch later today, however there will be some censorship differences on Nintendo's consoles.
