Just got my new 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controller in today for my Steam Deck OLED and not gonna lie, I felt a bit giddy when I felt the vibration in it. Never had that with my 2.4G model so this is already a lot better to me than that one. 🙂

About how fast my three day weekend went 😂

Post the video game of the year you were born.

Don't know why but I got a good kick out of this little Easter egg playing Saints Row (2022). Honestly, it's a shame it got the whole studio shut down since it's not a bad game to play.

Now that I'm back on the #va train and working mostly regular hours at my FT job after two years, I'm blessed to have hopped back on the VA train and scored a job narrating a children's #audiobook. It's better than I expected it so my 2025 goals will reflect on focusing on doing those and more. 😁

An offer to read a children's Christmas book on Christmas day. It's a Christmas miracle 😁. Good to know after not actively auditioning for two years that I have something to offer in the genre, at least.

After loads of time passed without auditioning, I finally had the time to do it and already done a few. Audacity then glitches on me and then I found Tenacity, which is hilarious considering it's almost exactly like Audacity but does the job for a Linux user like me. 🙂

The rumored controller for the Steam Deck. This is exactly what I wanted the layout to be and hopefully it's as comfy for me to hold like the Wii U gamepad was since it looks a bit bulky. Just hope it has rumble and rechargeable battery.

After playing through Catherine Classic yesterday, Persona 3 Reload is a much needed massage for my brain to not worry about puzzles 😂.
November 21, 2024 at 2:17 PM
Finally beat Catherine Classic on Steam. I don't know what drove me to buy it for the PS3 when it released all those years ago but puzzle games are still no fun for me 😂.
November 20, 2024 at 5:34 PM
One of my best moments in gaming yet 😂
November 20, 2024 at 5:31 PM
Please let this be a thing and make it right, even though I did like the first Steam Controller.
November 20, 2024 at 5:05 PM
Just give me all of the Steam Deck controller features without the screen, and I'll be good as gold. 😁

Introduce yourself with four video games. A couple of these kinda show my age 😂

As much as I love my FT job and working a lot of OT that takes up a lot of my free time, a part of me does miss doing time in my booth and just auditioning to my heart's content, especially since my stutter has gotten a little bit worse with time. I hope to make it back in due time to improve that 💪

After a week of dog sitting my mother's pug puppy and having to be distracted by her hyperactivity and constantly cleaning after her, I'm glad to have my old couch buddy back 😁.

Playing Catherine Classic on Steam for the first time and even though it's a cool game I haven't played since the PS3 days, I wish the Steam version would have been the updated version of it 😅

There are many who will gladly take your money. These folks are ✨genuinely✨ interested in your growth as an actor.

You're a voice actor - whether you started yesterday or 20 years ago. And they will do right by you. 😤❤️
