Seeing a stallion in the wild in the middle of a club in Atlanta is kinda like running into Pocahontas in Disneyland. Like I expected to see you here but its still cool to see.

So I only got through the first 40 minutes and now me & the family are seeing Avatar 3 rn.

Ill shut up right after this because theater etiquette but I thought the Navi style guide mandated that no Navi could have more than anything A cup. 10 min in and im already wrong.

Ive told this story before but a kid and I were going back & forth on the bus at summer camp. He got in a really good insult at me and it shut the bus up a sec. We pulled up to prisoners cleaning up trash on the side of the road and I asked "hey, is that your dad out there". The bus exploded.
What's an insult you'll never forget?

I haven't pick up a single one of those ps5 games. I apologize, but perhaps there's still a lil bit of time...
Right now, my current gaming plans are to finish Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion so I can give off my RoG Ally X for repairs or replacement (thank you warranty). Hopefully, my time without it will force me to pay more of my PS5 backlog, especially Atomfall, Expedition 33, Lost Records, and Shinobi.

I love my mom so much because she misheard and got me an original Xbox, like with a Duke and all. Im more impressed she did the extra work to find that in such great condition more than anything. She does care tho 😭
The hard part about being an adult is i have no idea what I want for my birthday or Christmas so im just gonna ask my family to get me an Xbox 360 E or S so I can play the digital copy of the Spyro God of War clone that has Wayne Brady in it.

The fact PlayStation app saved clips and Switch has a QR code for for uploading vids and photos yet online posting of games dipped 90% after Elon made it impossible to upload to Twitter proved that to me
"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort
