I’ve put in about 15ish hours into #PokemonLegendsZA and… I’ve really been enjoying it! I’m not saying it’s perfect (it’s not) but I’m having fun with it!

Happiness is playing video games while your cat snuggles up with you.

Pokémon Cafe anyone?

The best part about this game? If you hit a picture it moves, the record player plays a song, and you won’t get yelled at by a parent for playing baseball in the house!

I may play this again when I return to the Nintendo Museum.

It’s probably my vacation brain making me forget who on @gamersweekpc.bsky.social HATES the N65 controller so whomever that is… don’t look at these photos. Everyone else, check it out, my fiancée and I beat Bowser on a giant N64 controller!

Of course my first crane game win on this Japan trip is a Gundam statue.

Last year I wasn’t able to take a photo on the rooftop of Nintendo Kyoto due to rain. Thankfully I got to fix that today.

I’ve had this campaign idea for a while and it finally came into fruition! It’s the first time I’ve ever GM’ed so if you could give it a listen I’d appreciate it!

I saw Air Force One take off from Haneda. I really don’t like the person on that plane.

Did I buy airline WiFi to watch baseball? Yes. Did it work? No… BUT I CAN LISTEN TO THE GAME! Bless be ESPN radio for free on the ESPN app.
