B: Going on another Bsky break, two weeks minimum. See you sometime.21 Jan 2025 04:08 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lg7y6l7ycs23https://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfxhsgkhhk22Question: I'm nearing the end of Shenmue II and it's been great. I'm half-tempted to get to III someday, but I have heard... extremely mixed reviews about it. For anyone who's played the third game, can you tell me whether or not it's worth it?17 Jan 2025 18:54 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfxhsgkhhk22https://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfx3qh5ils2tAlso, for the longest time, I haven't really been a Musou fan. I only played like the first three Dynasty Warriors (including the fighting game lol) and decided that was all the Musou I ever needed to play in my life. So why the hell is DW Origins looking so appealing to me?!17 Jan 2025 15:18 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfx3qh5ils2thttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfwy5cn46226Well, enough being edgy. Yesterday's haiku was Streets of Rage 2, still a valid contender for greatest beat-em-up ever made. Now here's #27: Murder mystery Superman IV discussion Wow, damn fine sandwich17 Jan 2025 14:14 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfwy5cn46226https://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfwxuh6zy226It was refreshing to have a man of such prestige and status actually be genuinely decent. I hate that's such a huge fucking rarity today. It's like for every one Lynch, there's a hundred Neil Gaimans, many of which likely haven't been caught yet. One reason of several why I say I'm a misanthrope...17 Jan 2025 14:09 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfwxuh6zy226https://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfwxciezlc26Big thing that stands out in my mind about Lynch: All accounts I've read about the guy loved his personality. At worst, he was eccentric and cryptic, but it sounded like he was an incredibly chill, fun, and kind man who won the admiration of anyone who worked with him. He was an absolute good.17 Jan 2025 13:59 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfwxciezlc26https://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfuwtivccc2kIf you're feeling down today for whatever reason, and today has at least two very valid reasons for it, just remember Dale Cooper's advice: Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. I'm going to treat myself to something at Wawa after work.16 Jan 2025 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfuwtivccc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfuvxyf2nk2k... well, if Bob Uecker's passing didn't royally bum everyone out today, David Lynch's absolutely will. RIP to one of my favorite directors of all time, and certainly one of the weirdest to ever exist. Going to loop Laura Palmer's theme for awhile while reflecting on his works...16 Jan 2025 18:30 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfuvxyf2nk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfurtjrir22kC: Yesterday's haiku was Goldeneye 007 with a nod to the infamously short playable Oddjob in multiplayer. Harold Sakata was not that short, so I feel like he used to be Nick Nack at some point in development. Anyway, #26: Our friend was kidnapped So here's his little brother And a wrestler too16 Jan 2025 17:16 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfurtjrir22khttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfurmdksf22kB: I am very much not a sports fan, but since Bob Uecker cameo'd on Futurama, of which I AM a fan, I feel compelled to wish him an RIP. Sounded like an all-around rad guy too.16 Jan 2025 17:12 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfurmdksf22khttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfurjr4foc2kA: I'm kinda irrationally annoyed Nintendo just unceremoniously shadow-dropped the Switch 2, but I guess the leaks had them up against the wall without a more concentrated plan. It looks neat so far but I have Lawyer-tendo on thin ice for now, so I'll regard further news with aloof caution.16 Jan 2025 17:10 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfurjr4foc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfrwvvj7dk2yYesterday's haiku was Axelay, a sequel promise more painful to me than Silksong combined with N1RV Ann-A. Now here's #25, probably a bit of an easy one for anyone who grew up with this slice of nostalgia: Lethal slaps only Library basement good times This should be Nick Nack15 Jan 2025 14:08 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfrwvvj7dk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfpgdngvg22lYesterday's haiku was Wolfenstein: The New Order. Kudos to MachineGames for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle too!

It's... an event. Now here's #23: We fucking lost big But Billy wakes up, pissed off And he'll kill them ALL13 Jan 2025 13:51 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfmuznuf4k2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lffvsu6ufc2lThe haiku yesterday was Batman: Arkham Origins, maybe a bit easy but I got a laugh out of it. Now here's #22 which I'm putting very little effort into but I'm tired and it's the end of a long week: LUCKY! CHA CHA CHA What the fuck am I playing YOU FIGURED IT OUT10 Jan 2025 19:17 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lffvsu6ufc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfcr3drp2k2mAlrighty then, haiku #21 of "Haikudonarrative Resonance." Still going with that awful title for now, but yes: Lesser-known villain! Nevermind, it's him again Deathstroke's cool, at least09 Jan 2025 13:14 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfcr3drp2k2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lfb2kvcry22x@megaman2.bsky.social got it right, yesterday's haiku was Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Sadly, I haven't had the focus to think of a new one today due to semi-unexpected work bullshit, so we'll see what tomorrow brings with it.08 Jan 2025 20:59 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfb2kvcry22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3lf5qo6rtc22yYesterday's haiku was for Marvel Super Heroes. I could have also accepted MSH vs. Street Fighter.

Now here's #19: I know most of these But who's the tall shadow fiend? Or the eyeball squid?06 Jan 2025 13:13 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lf37mgsgt22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/sotenga.bsky.social/post/3letnt5xua22zYesterday's haiku was Disco Elysium, my recent favorite statement on anti-nihilism.

If you know any that are even worse, lay all your puns on me!02 Jan 2025 14:01 +0000at://did:plc:werqpg6rtduh34u2scyr6wt5/app.bsky.feed.post/3leraheczt22d
