The PSP-1000 series IPS screen mod is 1000% worth it. I was skeptical at first because opinions seemed mixed on it from reviews. I can absolutely tell a difference.

FF 7 Remake is a great-looking RPG that’s been smoothly ported to Switch 2. If you’re looking to play Square’s 2020 epic, this is a great option.

I went crazy yesterday. I found Vanguard Bandits in the wild which feels uncommon these days. This is a grail game for me. I played this about half way through back in 01 when I borrowed it from my friend but never got a chance to finish it. I could never find it in stores or even for rent

I lost another via RIF today. This was a high performer who met all goals. I had no say in this, it was handed down from on high.
Be me
Get promoted to manager (with pay increase)
Have more responsibilities
Lose 3 team members to attrition/promotion/RIF
Still doing old engineering work on top of MGMT work too keep team afloat

At its core, Dustborn by @redthreadgames.bsky.social is a story about the power of language, words, and ideas. What happens when people are bombarded and infected by ceaseless propaganda? When your thoughts aren’t truly your own? When your words can alter people’s realities?
Dustborn is about who controls the narrative and who gets silenced

I just ordered a FlippyDrive for my GameCube. Can't wait to dive back into some classics. I'm not sure what happened but most of my GC collection disappeared over the years and while I enjoyed those GC games, I don't care enough to fork over the cash on the secondhand market.

A visual representation of the games I beat in 2025. Rolled Credits on 23 games which is a lot for me.
The last two are more honorable inclusions, as wrapped up the Lunar 2 Epilogue in January and did a quick run of Rocket Knight in about an hour one random Saturday.
