Well, might as well make a formal introduction...
Hi! I'm Sam 👋
Long time gamer and a game dev for (just about) 7 years, becoming a jack of all trades. My love and passion for games has brought me nothing but happiness, and I'm here to pass it on!
I play a lot of retro games, so expect a lot of that

Better, but definitely room for improvement. Happy I can display most of the daily drivers though

In doubling my home server storage, my spanned drives and OS drives decided to corrupt all at the same time 🫠 Spent most of last night just getting it back up and running 😭

A little shortsighted on not buying more hooks, but it's a start

As someone who automates a lot of tedious QA work, I don't see this as feasible. Automation has its place, but it is no replacement for a well oiled QA department. 70% is asinine, and honestly an insult to their QA team.
Square Enix wants 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027, in partnership with the University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory. https://bit.ly/4qKdyQR

So, small spoilers, but was absolutely FREAKING OUT that starting a NG+ of Silent Hill f IMMEDIATELY had different dialogue in the first cutscene. Time to get the other endings 👀👀👀

For having not played a Pokémon game legitimately since 2015, Legends ZA feels like a crazy breath of fresh air. Looking forward to playing more

I think it's about that time again to try and will Muramasa The Demon Blade for modern platforms into existence again. This game is WAY to incredible to leave on the Wii and the Vita. I refuse to get a Playstation TV just for this 🫠
