Completed Casio's Red Switch Palace last weekend. Wasn't too bad, but that 2 tile gap near the start was such a pain in the hole. It definitely caused me the most hassle the entire time. Think it might be the fastest I've finished a level at about 4 hours. #kaizo #smw 1/2

I don't venture outside the city very much, but it's always nice to go off the grid for a few days. Pretty much zero signal for data, and a nice view or two.

Just shy of 20 hours later, but Child Soldier is completed! 7 hours to get the midway. Another 12 to win. The goal tape, in fact, was not 'right at the end there'. Such a deluded fool. Timer was paused by accident then corrected. Now I get to play with spikes! #kaizo #smw 1/3

I was today years old when I discovered these are the same person.

The Hurt Locker is such an intense movie. Even when you've already seen it before, it's still grim as fuck.

Over the Ice is conquered! 12 and a half hours later, and finally free of EEEEEEEEEE. That 2nd motorised saw in the ascent was possibly the hardest obstacle for me in that level. 3x clip reels incoming. Now it's time for Ha! (Ha-ha!) Ha! (Ha-ha!) *laser noises* #kaizo #smw https://youtube.com/shorts/gdKD9jW6cgU?feature=share

It's finally here! I've been looking forward to getting @takiudon.bsky.social's Superstation One & SuperDock since they were both announced, and I received my shiny new package today. Excited to get it setup and running as my primary MiSTer.

The Sunday Tort: Running out of angles to get photos from, because this little idiot never moves anywhere else in the house when I visit. #catsofbluesky

The Sunday Tort: Monday night edition cause I'm dumb and forgot again. #catsofbluesky

Power of Persuasion down! I got so close to the midway the 1st day, then so close to the end the 2nd day. On the 3rd day victory was achieved. Pink balloon > Green Balloon. Now it's time to EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - I'm not sure how I feel about it so far... #kaizo #smw https://youtube.com/shorts/KljIFtaTf4Y?feature=share

The Sunday Tort: Forgot to post last weeks tort, must have been too angry from being clawed. #catsofbluesky

Sleep Dealer complete! I decided to take on the Power of Persuasion next, and have already saw the midway but couldn't get it booooo (rings)! #kaizo #smw https://youtube.com/shorts/-s_kR0jjZCY?feature=share

The Reeling is complete! Now I get to decide on which hell I take on next: Chomps or Bumpties yay! #kaizo #smw https://youtube.com/shorts/hWuag7L4oL8?feature=share

Spider-Noir was great. PI show mixed with superhero elements, and good ol Nic Cage being a weirdo.

Day 1 PB so far. I think I smell a little ledge of safety right over there. These chucks though jeeez.

I've been told on occasion that I'm known to keep banging my head against the wall until I finish something. This will definitely be one of those situations.

Modern day electronic goods really aren't built to last are they? This thing is only 4 years old. It sat in the same position for 3 years, and was transported safely in a house move 1 year ago. No bumps, nothing accidentally hitting it, or pressed against it. So stupid.

Gotta love enemy rando & health size scaling hahaha. https://youtube.com/shorts/0hRUm881uxA?feature=share

Sometimes when you've thought about something for a very long time, you just need to take the plunge.

The Sunday Tort: The 'You're disturbing me again' stare, followed by a big stretch before trying to escape so she can watch the rain outside. #catsofbluesky

I only just learnt this existed and had to immediately buy it. I've loved this game since I first played it. Such a unique game that I still think holds up to this day. The soundtrack by @norgans.bsky.social is an incredible piece of work, I absolutely love it. Featuring the childhood cartridge.

The Sunday Tort: Poor girl looks more hungover than I was today. Definitely a wee grump in her senior years. #catsofbluesky

Decided to step back into kaizo after 8 months away and thought: 'My first runback of GPW 2 will throw me straight into the deep end and get me back up to speed.' Hadn't played it in 4 years, and finished it 62 hours 8 minutes and 45 seconds faster than the first time yeooo.

The Sunday Tort: Biiiiig stretch. She really loves to shove her face into that wall, and just stare at it. #catsofbluesky

Pretty interesting how the smallest of things like a <30 second internet cut can completely ruin your mood during a stream. Weird thing was it only affected my office, stupid first world problems.
