Hello, Bluesky, I'm Jinx. Not sure what to say. An enthusiast of the following:

Gaming (most genres)
Computers/tech
Art/music (I love to create)
Anime/manga
Cyberpunk
Science
Movies (horror and sci-fi)
Gadgets/gizmos
and much more.

I like making new friends too. I'll attempt to post here more. 🙂
I'm fully caught up with The Mighty Nein adaptation on Amazon, and I have to admit it. They did an excellent job with Campaign 2. It does change a fair bit, but it keeps the core of everything. I wish they'd keep with three episodes a week, but I get why not. It has me excited for the rest to come.

I finally got to start the released episodes of The Mighty Nein on Prime. It's wild to see the campaign finally adapted and I'm only one episode deep, but it's great so far. Surely, the other two are just as good. They've introduced one of my two favourite characters already. This will be fun. 😁

I just got more into Foolish Mortals recently, and @inklingwood.bsky.social did an amazing job on the game. It is a genuinely impressive experience and so far highly recommended. The indie scene never fails to impress with its point and click selection. That is such an encouraging thing to see.

I really just need this month to chill out. The constant appointments are getting a bit overwhelming. When I get home later, I'm going to treat myself to some homemade soup. That sounds really good right now. Fingers crossed that it stays relatively temperate out until I can get home.

It has been a really weird morning. I'm just glad I can at least be where it's warm. It maybe a good time to start using the fireplace soon. On the upside, I can make hot cocoa later. Hopefully, I can order my new glasses soon. I finally have a valid prescription for them.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

It feels like we zoomed past Fall and right into winter. Every morning has come with snow. I used to like that, but years of shoveling it has made me less than enthusiastic about this time of year. Probably doesn't help that this is the first holiday season without dad around. It'll be six months.

I can be such a major dice goblin. Looking at my collection recently, and there are a lot of different sets there. Some really unique ones too. I'm always on the lookout for new sets to collect. I have a lovely Shadowrun themed one on the way. It can't arrive soon enough. I wish to roll them.

In the last week, I've had the COVID booster, the flu shot, my annual blood work, and I am completely drained. Today's shift is going to be full zombie mode. I'll do the bare minimum, but no sense overworking myself. If I can make it through this, then it's hot soup and cartoons for me. 😁😬🫩

I am so exhausted from errands today. I can't wait to get home. On the upside, at least I can enjoy the fresh air. That being said, home can't come soon enough. The weather is a bit frosty and a hot cocoa is calling my name. Maybe with some hot soup as well. 🙂

It is interesting when people make bards and fall back on musicians. While that is admittedly understandable, you can make one that uses any form of artistic expression as their outlet. Painting, poetry, and more are viable. I once had a bard that used limericks. It'd be nice to see that more often.
November 12, 2025 at 4:14 PM
I don't talk about this a lot, but art is a huge part of my life. I am an artist. Whether it's music, visual or literary art. It may sound silly, but that's how I express myself. Art is one of the greatest things one can create. It is uncompromising and unfiltered. Society should encourage the Arts.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

I realize the importance of vaccines and boosters, but holy hell, do I feel like crap. I went from being an overabundance of energy to just crashing. Sadly, that doesn't come with sleep. Just lying there like a useless heap. Hopefully, this sensation passes soon. I really want to feel better.

I've been on a bit of a point and click adventure binge lately. Between returning to old classics from the LucasArts and Sierra On-line libraries to newer titles, it's been really enjoyable. I look forward to beginning @inklingwood.bsky.social's new title very soon. It's such a great style of game.
November 9, 2025 at 4:08 PM
I really wish Shadowrun had point and click adventure games. There are a lot of stories within the universe that would work well. The Jimmy Kincaid series as an example. There are plenty of characters in those books that could warrant a game or two. Shame the rights are apparently a problem though.

I really need to pick up the Dragon Quest 1-3 remakes at some point. They aren't my favourites in the series, but I want to support them. It may lead to seeing the Zenithian trilogy getting the updated treatment. Dragon Quest 5 is a game that I think every JRPG fan should play. It is beautiful. 🙂

'SSX Tricky' launched 24 years ago today, November 6th 2001 for the PS2!

It's no secret that I miss when we got more extreme sports games like this that were just pure FUN to pick up and play, and this one is one of the BEST.

So, turn that VOLUME UP, and enjoy a vibe straight out of 2001! 🏂😎

I've been going through some of the Shadowrun novels that I own. It's a universe that I always find myself returning to. The mix of technology and magic has always fascinated me. I would do a lot for a TV series, web series, or more games. Hell, even some more audiodramas would be nice to have.

This is just one of those days that I wish I could stay home wrapped up in blankets. It's cold, damp and raining on and off. The type of weather that just runs through you and hits every bone, nerve and joint. It'd almost be a good setting for a noir film or novel. The sky is the colour of static.

I forgot how good Metal Gear Solid 3's story really is. Parts of it are down right heartbreaking. I am hit and miss with a games dealing with such topics, but MGS has always hit that sweet spot. I wish we'd get a rerelease of Snatcher and an official for Policenauts. Fingers crossed for those.

While I prefer cold to hot temperatures, I could really do without the dampness or humidity of either. Today just feels like one of those times I should have just stayed in bed. With any luck, this will be a better one than how it feels. On the upside, at least it's hoodie weather. So there's that.
