I would have thought I already made a post on this. Unsure of how long this will be, I’ll preface this with the statement that I do not consider myself an ‘Apple Fanboy’. I do use nearly all Apple products (even their credit card, how much longer will that last), but to me the label […]

Kinda. Today I finally bit the bullet and cut myself free from checking and updating the OpenCommish Twitter account. The priority to keep up with it was falling, it felt like a chore (for something no one ever asked me to do), and I was really tired of having to log into Twitter in this […]

A while back I made a post about how/why/etc I started and was continuing to watch One Piece. A lot of what I said then still applies, I have no intention or reason to drop a show that has hit me emotionally enough to shed tears. After a while you also get enough lore tidbits […]

“Old deleted photos appearing on devices.” What a headline to hear as I’m trading in my old iPad for my new iPad Pro. I’ll just hope Apple resolves this themselves somehow, as all in all I know everything I deleted from Google Photos is still on a Google server somewhere. In the digital age, nothing […]

How were they able to remake a trilogy but flop on a new entry? I’ve been very slowly working my way through Crash 4: It’s About Time and have just gotten to the Cortex boss fight (where he says “It’s about time”). The game is pretty and certainly hits several marks that make it a […]

A lot of people that know of speedrunning often question what game to run and how they decided to start running. I learned quite a while ago that the most common answer was simple: if you have a game you’ve loved to play for a long time, and love to play it over and over […]

I’ve always found old games having differences between regions to be interesting. I believe for Spyro all copies are optimal in NTSC-U (PAL has some neat music changes though!). Crash, however, is nearly different every game: Crash 1 had some interesting changes between regions being that NTSC-U lets you die during a level to skip […]

This is a pompous title but it’s just a rambling of shower thoughts. A lot of people think creativity, making a song, drawing a picture, developing a game — they think it has to be wholly original.. That’s not true. You can piece together a bunch of random parts and that’ll appear original enough I’ve […]

I finally got around to playing Crymachina, the first PS5 game I (pre)ordered before knowing when I’d get money for the console. The reviews leading up to the release left me desiring something better than I was hoping — a common issue my brain has of late. Crystar was this games spiritual predecessor, and I […]

In November 2022 I made the bold decision to bite the bullet and start One Piece. It’s known for being one of the longest running anime, and it’s as popular across the world as other big names like Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon. At the time and for over a decade prior I had several […]

tl;dr for reasons I’m not going to operate the Mastodon account for the foreseeable future. Right before Twitter shut off the API support for third party apps January 2023 I had just refreshed the OpenCommish logo and posts for the Twitter account. I had the thought to open a similar account on Mastodon because not […]

I started this entire mini-blog thing because I wanted an outlet after no longer having Twitter to spam my thoughts onto. This week Bluesky finally, maybe almost too late (who can say as of right now), opened to the public. No more invite system, just pure unadulterated access for all to create an account and […]
