Look, I've been overcoming my fear and all that by traveling more, and I always say that each trip introduces me to a new quirk (layover, delays, reroutes). BUUUUUUT I would really like it if the government got its shit together so I don't get stuck away from home.

Last call for my son's Jog-A-Thon. No pressure but any bit helps his school fund classes like Art, PE, and STEM. www.getmovinfundhub.com/student-webp...

Finished Sword of the Sea this week. Beautiful design. Incredible music. Just a succinct piece of art. Highly recommend for the vibes alone.

The PlayStation 5 Pro is the best way to experience console exclusives but the price increase and some problematic compatibility with third party games make it a complicated recommendation. I'm glad I have one though.

Is the PlayStation 5 Pro Worth It One Year Later?
It has been a year since Sony launched the PlayStation 5 Pro console, but is the mid-generation performance upgrade worth the investment?

Playing Pokemon Legends Z-A highlighted how important voice acting is for the franchise's mass appeal. I hope Gen 10 adds it.
Pokemon Legends Z-A Proves Pokemon Gen 10 Desperately Needs Voice Acting
Pokemon Legends Z-A is a modernization of the formula in a lot of areas, but its lack of voice acting proves Gen 10 desperately needs it.

Keeper complete! It all came together so beautifully at the end. Artistic expression in this medium is so rare but the originality of everything in this game shows the potential of what games can be. Bravo to @doublefine.com

I hope Grand Theft Auto 6 doesn't skip over an element of the game that I think showcases Rockstar's talent.
Grand Theft Auto 6 Can’t Repeat the Same Mistake Rockstar Made With GTA 5
Grand Theft Auto 6 is poised to be one of the biggest video game releases ever, but Rockstar Games shouldn't skip over one aspect this time.

It's interesting. For me the new battle system in Pokemon Legends Z-A is more engaging and interesting. But for my son, who is new to the series, it is more challenging because he has to make quick decisions.
