  • For solo play this week it’s been an Ace Combat-like in Project Wingman. This is my second playthrough and I’m now on the hardest difficulty which is infuriating but it sure gets the blood pumping. Awesome game with incredible visuals.

    I’ve been playing the various Zelda multiplayer games with my friends recently. We started with Triforce Heroes emulated on Azahar which is a 3-player dungeon-looter. After we beat it and all its bonus content (there is a lot) we’re headed to Four Swords on the GBA (VisualBoyAdvance-M has netplay) and then Four Swords Adventure on GC (via dolphin netplay).

    Other than that I’ve been playing a bunch of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour on dolphin netplay which has a controlled host-migration feature which means 0-input latency for the player whose turn it is. If you aren’t familiar with dolphin netplay it rules and feel free to ask if you get confused setting it up.






  • You hit the nail on the head. It’s a fundamentally flawed game as a result of its original pay-to-win design that was merely band-aided over by converting it to a progression system.

    The only way to assess it from a balance perspective is in a lobby where everyone has everything unlocked, and that’s infeasible because of player retention being so bad.

    I’m hoping Kyber (private servers) take the structural bones of the game (technical performance and aesthetic) and allow modding to fundamentally mechanically change the game to the same extent that modding has for skyrim because I don’t believe a better base for community improvement will ever exist.


  • There will be a cascading effect of rural healthcare providers folding due to lack of medicaid funding causing overstrain on suburban and urban health systems. This will further increase care costs and wait time while simultaneously decreasing the quality of care throughout the entire system which was already cratering prior to this proverbial gunshot wound.

    Many more extremely vulnerable people will die as a result.

    ICE funding was massively increased (I think on the scale of 17-20x yearly) which will further enable the Trump admin’s war on specifically Democratic-led cities. It seems pro farm-indentured servitude capital has convinced Trump of the necessary of undocumented migrant works to keep the profits high against Stephen Miller’s (probably the largest and most powerful Nazi ideologue I’m the administration) wishes. The hospitality service will probably end up striking a similar deal giving them absolute economic power via threat of selective deportation over their undocumented workers.

    I’m sure there are many other facets of BBB that are additionally horrendous but at this point spending my time on “here are the specifics of domestic American horror” just feels like a waste. It’s going to be terrible and I hope my American comrades are able to find at least some sense of unrelated personal peace in the novel depravity that awaits us.














  • I’ve got an Ally X with Bazzite installed on it that I used to replace my desktop computer.

    The steam deck is a great device, but its hardware severely limited it in playing 2024+ demanding releases and PS3 emulation (which was the bigger draw for me).

    I dock it like a switch at home and use it as a handheld on the go and it’s easily my favorite device I’ve ever used.
