I should probably keep the goals for not overspending on new games, and keep knocking out 4 platinums per year. PS3 seems hopeless for completion since it’s my largest backlog. I should focus on knocking out the smaller systems. Smallest backlogs: PS2: 48 Games3DS+DS+PSP+GBA: 18+18+3+1 = 40 obsolete Portable gamesWii U+Wii+PS1+NES: 12+12+1+1 = 26 obsolete Home Console gamesSwitch+XB1: 4+2 = 6 Current Gen console games.I’ll finish enough current gen games without having to worry about them.

Goal 1: 12 PS3 games. (Including Disgaea D2 and Ni No Kuni) Result: 20 PS3 games completed.1. Quantum Conundrum, 6.25 Hours2. Battle Princess of Arcadias, 18.5 Hours3. Fuse, 8 Hours4. Killzone 2, 5.5 Hours5. Skylanders Giants, 15 Hours6. Catherine, 12.5 Hours7. Disgaea D2, 21 Hours8. Lollipop Chainsaw, 7 Hours9. Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystaria, 1 Hour10. Golden Axe, 0.5 Hour11. Altered Beast, 0.5 Hour12. Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom: 1 HourFirst 12 total: 96.

Greetings,I apologize for bothering you at your email address instead of through other means, but unlike most messages you’re probably receiving right now, I’m not directly complaining about the new fees being passed to Patrons. The problems with that are merely a symptom of the problems with another change made to Patreon recently. The Anniversary billing system. When I signed up for Patreon 3 years ago, there was only one reason that it was useful compared to what I was already doing.

Here’s what I sent them today about those fees. Your page says the following: “A new service fee of 2.9% + $0.35 will be paid by patrons for each individual pledge starting on December 18th. This restructuring allows creators to take home a greater portion of their earnings, which is core to our mission of getting creators paid.” This seems to be a bit absurd. Not the 2.9% or anything, that’s typical.

I finally got enough round-tuits to buy a MicroSD reader, and transfer my Nintendo Switch memory to a 64 gig card. Interestingly, when I did this, it asked to download an update. I suspect this is the same as the Sony PS3′s “are you going to use aacs” question in the settings screen. By default, they’re not licensing the systems for that codec or file system. exFat’s only needed for large cards, and not everyone will get a card for their system, so why pay that license for every switch out there?

I’ve been playing a lot of shorter games this month. Not really intentionally, but since I polished off two long ones first thing, I just drifted over to a bunch of palette cleansers. I just went to the bottom of my PS3 history (least-recently played games) and picked one. The first was Stick Man Rescue (#72). The graphics are simple, and it’s almost a game that I could make myself, but it was fun to just knock it out.

Playstation blog has another list of new releases. Guess I should go through them and see which ones I might want to grab. The answer? 3 that I really want, a few more that I wouldn’t mind having. Chaos;Child: A VN, I’m sure. I’ll probably get this eventually too. Summon Night 6: Lost Borders: Agh, so many games I want this week. This one is close to the top of my list, even though I still have about 3 other summon night games to play.

I think it’s worth trying to break the conversation out of its current polarization. It’s either all Title 2, Internet as a Utility, or it’s our current system with light regulation federally, but locally/state granted monopolies, no discussions about anything between. The current system isn’t perfect, there’s flaws in that competition has largely vanished in many places in the country, but in those areas there may be better solutions than just Title 2 Fascism.

This is a bit of a scratchpad for me as I plug various things into the motherboard and see where they land in the groups. There seems to be 8 IOMMU groups on this board. First run: RX480 in PCIe 3.0 slot, Audigy 2 in second PCI slot. UPDATE: I was going to paste in multiple runs and show the differences in them, but spoilers, every PCIe and PCI slot in this thing other than the first PCIe3.

Since I’m not finishing as many games as I used to, I suppose I should tone the goals down a bit.12 PS3 games. (Including Disgaea D2 and Ni No Kuni)Finish: PSMini, PSP, GBA backlogs (Zenonia, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, LOH: Tears of Vermillion, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn) 2 Windows games. (Perhaps Ys: Naphishtim and Chantelise?)At least half of the new releases that I purchase on day 1.4 PlatinumsThat brings my called games from 24 down to 18, which is close to my 1/3rd decrease in completions from 2015 to 2016.
