It's a thing he released on Netflix during Covid. It was intended to be a comedy special, but it turned out to be so much more

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Love it!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Have you seen Inside? It is really something. Big recommend!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Also, I didn't read the Susana Clarke book in the list but really enjoyed Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell. Big recommend!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Hmmm. In no particular order: 3ds Snes Ps1 Ps2 Gba

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

+1 to Algernon. Loved that one!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Only one I read is the Murakami. I love Murakami. Read Murakami!

My thoughts on 9 Years of Shadows. #Blutoid #VideoGames #IndieGames

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

It's not an unplayable state, it's a feature!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Can't say with 100% certainty as it's just a meme I stole from the internet. But it is an Indian lotus and it's definitely pretty possible.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Very tempted to grab this bundle pretty much solely for Harold Halibut. Venba has been on my list for a while too. Holding off a few since the Steam Summer Sale starts in a few days. Anyone have opinions on the games in the bundle? #Blutoid www.humblebundle.com/games/narrat...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I've only played each of the Silent Hill games once except the first (3 times, probably) and haven't played the SH2 remake yet (Oct maybe), but gotta say SH3 is probably my favorite. Had a great protagonist and vibe. Stuck with me the most. Don't know if I'm in on SHf yet. #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I didn't know that 😞 Disappointed indeed.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

No game goes as hard as EBA!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Gambling is an adventure!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Can I get that waffle blue and to-go

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Def! Very accessible and the way progression works make it an easy recommend for anyone wanting to get into the genre

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Randoms remain fun! It's the boss battles that really tested my patience and left a bad taste. Hope you enjoy!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

This is so sad 😞 Was such a great site. #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Heya! Finished 9 Years of Shadows. Decent 'vania with a few things holding it back from greatness. Review incoming. More Elden Ring. Started Planet of Lana last night and love it so far. If you enjoy 2d puzzle platformers go get this right now (only 5€ till tomorrow!) Some definite Ueda influence!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I almost loved Arise if it didn't get so spongy in the combat (which has been my issue with other Tales games I've tried). Comfy story and fun characters!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Not new but still going hella strong after 2 years. Sony wf-c500. I'm by no means an audiophile but for listening to music and playing portable consoles these are great. Good battery life I use them for running too where I'm sweating like mad and not once have they fallen out.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Happy to be of service!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

You should totally give a couple of their records a try. Iirc you dig They Might Be Giants and Jonathan Coulton which would be a similar wheelhouse

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

No audio books. Tidal is strictly music (of which I've never had issue finding anything except 1 album)

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I've been using Tidal for about 2 years now and love it. Same price as Spotify and a bit less scummy as it pays out to artists a bit better. (Should still totally buy an album on Bandcamp here and there) No podcasts though, if that's a thing for you.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Thank you algorithm for reminding me of this beautiful trip of an album. Still holds up hella strong (even more maybe) after all these years. Fun Fact: this record is directly responsible for the inspiration of Spongebob! #Blutoid #Music tidal.com/browse/album...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Neither did I till CTG pointed out the upcoming sequel during MS's direct. It's a shame this went under do many radars!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

It turned out near perfect for a first try!!! Is that rosemary or oregano on top? Traditionally it's done with rosemary. My favorite is with some super thin sliced potatoes and rosemary on top 🤤

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

That looks outstanding! Well done!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Fiy: It's still on sale for 5€ till tomorrow, the 22nd). Absolutely worth grabbing! #Blutoid store.steampowered.com/app/1608230/...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

There's a bit of inspiration from Ueda in the gameplay too 😉

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

This game sure is pretty! And pretty damn good so far! (Planet of Lana) #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

One of the few games where the motion controls were great and added to the experience

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

The Hill Has an Eye

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

This is a great bundle. They all look very interesting! Sold! #Blutoid www.humblebundle.com/games/puzzle...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

You do now.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

It's the perfect Ass Creed setting!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

My brain parsed that as Assassin's Creed Apprentice: Robin Hood. I kinda would be all about that.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

This baby Jesus painting I saw in a basilica today made me chuckle. He's like "Y'all fucked up way too bad this time. You're on your own. Imma go hit a blunt. I'm out. Peace!" #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I've warmed up to Melinoë. The side characters in 1 I think are stronger. Hard to top Dusa

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Excellent!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Visited Orto Botanico di Padova today, the oldest botanical garden in the world! Was awesome and merits many visits to really appreciate (and to see different seasons). Here's a very small selection of some pics I took (names in alt) with more to come eventually. #Blutoid #Nature #Botany

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Word!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Awesome to hear! I've already put a good bit of time into the ea version and the gameplay is so damn good and expanded from Hades 1. Been holding off going all in till 1.0 drops where I'll start over from scratch. #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Fortunately a site I occasionally use has pre-orders for €40, so that's pretty acceptable for what's being offered imho. I do feel a bit salty about the music, though. Fine with the rest.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

60 in Italy. I'm guessing because in the States the ticket price doesn't include vat.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I wish fishing didn't gross me out because these screenshots are damn gorgeous! Want one hanging on my wall!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Fuck these hidden archers on the roof! Fuck these shrimp people! Fuck these status effects! Fuck getting gang ambushed by fingery disembodied hands! Fuck these long ass feints! Fuck I love Elden Ring (and the rest of From's catalog too) #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Guess it's time to give this a try

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

The original script was rough.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Unpopular opinion. This is a reasonable explanation, and I'm cool with that. I always have my Deck 😉 Maybe asking €60 is a bit much, but that'll drop soon enough. Still hyped! #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Kinda sucks. I'm still hyped. Found a Switch pre-order for physical for €40 so that feels perfectly fair. It'll probably hit that price in a few months anyway. I do hope the animation from wotl makes it in. They did use some of it in the trailer (I think, my memory sucks)

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

The mobile version I have on my tablet has stable performance. Very playable with touch if a bit annoying with all confirmations. A patched psp version on Deck is the way to go. But yeah, the new jobs def break balance but the original had mimes and arithmeticians, so…

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

to cream, beat it for 3-5 mins...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I've never played ME3 and want to. But to do so I'd want to replay the first two and that takes a lot of dedication so I keep putting it off...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I like Astral Ascent a lot. The recent dlc is a worthy addition too. Undermine is a simple but addictive one. Tangledeep is pretty rad.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

This is actually a really great game!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Been there. My heart to you and yours

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

felt.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Word. Undertow, Ænima, and Lateralus are peak. I'm kinda mixed on the rest. 'Member that the inner-tray of the Undertow cd has a hidden picture of a cow licking their ass and the "secret" track 69 fucking slaps.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

It's definitely one of his best. He's always been a great storyteller. It may be because I grew up there (lived 2 blocks over from E Street for a couple years in my early 20s), but when he sings about NJ life and locations it's so vivid and genuine. youtu.be/EiGfB0QBTV4?...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Another of my all-time favorites! Going to see him in a couple weeks. Can't wait!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Italian black cat! I am so in!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

One of my all-time favorite songs 😉 #Blutoid youtu.be/StVADmXbOEs?...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Looks like it came out last week in the States, so same as EU. Hope you enjoy it! This one looks particularly great on the big screen so definitely try to see it in a cinema.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Heya! Heavy into an Elden Ring replay. Gonna go katana instead of my usual big fucking sword build. A bit more progress with E33 but it's hot out so I haven't been using the TV and ps5 much. 9 Years of Shadow is almost finished. Solid flawed gem 'vania. Saw the new Wes Anderson. Loved it to bits!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

You're the man! Protest the fuck out of that shit! But be safe!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

It's part of the learning process 😀

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Positive vibes memes for these trying times. Go! #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Never heard of them. Gotta give a spin. Thanks! (BTW, your username got a good chuckle out of me ;) )

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Fuck yeah!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

I'll probably most likely get it. Would like confirmation SC isn't too far behind.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Akshuly, it should be the first song off the album. Fortunately every track on Adrenaline fucks! youtu.be/-WdYo3WlETY?...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Nice! Back when I played (should really pick it up again...) that was one of the first difficult licks I learned. Took me forever to get it. Anyhoo, that album popped in my brain the other day and boy does it still hold up. And they are still making music! Thought the broke up forever ago.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Neat!

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Saw The Phoenician Scheme and loved it. Top tier Wes Anderson (though the internet thinks otherwise). Lots of quirky charm, great story and themes, beautifully shot, and terrific performances. And how is this the first Anderson film with Cera!? He such an Anderson actor! #Blutoid

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Pikmin 4 is sooooo good. A top tier favorite game. Bayo Origins is great as well. Shame it won't continue. P* had a great spin off there

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

B'b'ba ba b'b'ba baa #Blutoid youtu.be/CJ54eImz88w?...

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Good to hear. It was hella spotty on S1. I think a Bayo3 and Astral Chain replay are in the cards when I eventually get a S2.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Bless you good sir.

@patbateman17.bsky.social

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

A long ferment will give you a more intense taste. This I like better not only because it's easier but also lighter. Great for summer dishes or as something to keep in the fridge and pick at.

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Oooo, I gotta get me some cauliflower the moment it's season starts! And pickled beets are so good! Even a spicy beet chutney 🤤 I love fennel too! Such a unique taste that works in many different ways

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Definitely not dry. It's right on the sea 😀

RiffRaff (@riffraff79.bsky.social):

Let's say transitioning (or lazy). I enjoy a bit of cheese and honey here and there (my desire for them is getting less and less) and I'm not tossing any leather products I got before going veg, but otherwise I do my best to avoid animal products. Been veg a while now and never felt or ate better.
