#38 Game beaten in 2023 is: New Super Mario Bros. U. The last 2D mario game I played was NSMB2 for 3DS and my experience wasn't the best one. That changed here, however, as the joy, ingenuity, and fun factor is guaranteed. Wonder has shoes to fill. 4.5/5.


 
 
 

Okay, it seems the dust has settled a bit. Still unfortunate, but I kinda miss posting random asinine shit in here, so... I guess I've been playing a lot of 3DS lately, especially PKMN X and MH3U, still catching up on a LOT of stuff I missed in 10 years!

I wonder what goes through the brain of a thug who thinks "hey, this girl single-handedly killed Lilith inside her own home in Hell, she's the perfect mark to lure to a dark alley, murder her and take her valuables".

 
 
 

Oh snap, double post!!! Happy birthday shout out to the sexiest, manliest, old gun nut, this side of a dirty ape. Love you brother.


 
 
 

Been a minute since I left a post here...


 
 
 

#37 Game beaten in 2023 is: Puppeteer. The PS3 had gems even until the release of its successor. Japan Studio (rest in peace) always delivered. The creative gameplay, voice acting, and a funny story makes Puppeteer a nice time to be had, indeed. 4/5.


 
 
 

Weekly Update, here are the games I am currently playing. I am going to review those within brackets once completed: -[Various Games (PS1)] -13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (Switch) -Timespinner (Switch) -Yakuza 6: Song of Life (PS4/5)

 
 
 

"Deals a deal, Bruce." Reshot an old photo and changed up some things. Insta - upinsmokeproductions and catch me on twitch.tv/therealhudlesshorseman occasionally speedrunning Super Castlevania IV


 
 
 

The first and probably only mini of the month lol. It's that time of year where it gets too damn hot to paint in my room so I'm enjoying the dip while I can. This guy is from citadel 1982-83 fantasy adventurer line. Dunno what he'll be used for though🤔


 
 
 

I haven't streamed in a month because I'm in the middle of moving. But don't worry: I'll be back in August. So yeah, how about that Tekken 8 CNT, huh?

 
 
 
 

This made me think of Torch. Hope he’s doing well.


 
 
 

I havent had a good birria taco yet. It sounds so lovely.


 
 
 

All hail Glorbo. Let us journey to the island of Zoop and prepare for his arrival.

 
 
 

Alright, I have concluded my retread of the Wolfenstein series. Well, from RTCW onwards. The New Colossus is still fine, new characters are still unlikeable douchebags and the whole father trauma thing was kinda left field for me. Current Status:



 
 
 

#16 Movie of 2023: Barbie. Finally! A movie that understands feminism, it's funny, direct, and doesn't hold back. 4 and a half stars out of 5. #17 Movie of 2023: Oppenheimer. What can I say? I cried during the bomb explosion scene. Not 5, but 10/5.


 
 
 

Shaved my Metal Slug down to 5 Continues. That's on default difficulty (Level 4), 3 lives, and no turbo. I can get it down lower, as some of the lives I dropped were entirely just due to choking at key moments.

 
 
 

For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to click on Missing Menu Label "to see what happens", and what happens is that the game completely freezes. Glad I cleared that up.


 
 
 

I cannot for the life of me find the last remaining 3 Fractured Peaks sidequests in Diablo IV. I've followed the D4buildsgg interactive map showing where all the quest givers are supposed to be, no luck. It's driving me nuts. Why? WHY?!?!

 
 
 

Look Japan, I'm already damn broke so the last thing I need is you coming up with more fun/weird crap I want to buy, OK? https://i.imgur.com/Ovm1dhT.mp4

 
 
 

#15 Movie of 2023 is: Asteroid City. I get the director's intentions: to make a pretty film, but at what cost? The cast saves it from being something I can only describe as a missed opportunity, really. I know it doesn't take it seriously, but c'mon 1.5/5


 
 
 

Hideo Kojima’s tombstone will read “Orwell wrong, Huxley wrong, Kojima right.”

 
 
 

Welp. PS3 died. Because of course it did. I'm assuming its the PSU since there's no light whatsoever and I've tried multiple plugs. I just want to scream today.
