It’s frustrating that my excitement for any new third party game on Switch 2 is almost always soured by the fact that it’s only a key card release. I just want to own actual copies of the games I buy.

Wonder Man is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but I really wish Kingsley wasn’t still doing the Scouse accent. It’s…not great.

Love Through a Prism / Love Rondo is my Downton Abbey and I’m not afraid to admit it.

Doing a rewatch of Stranger Things (immediately after finishing S5) and the inescapable conclusion is that S4 is where it pretty much goes off the rails.

S1-S3 feels like a complete story. S4-S5 feels like awkward fanfic.

Dragon Quest 2 HD is so much better than 1 HD, it’s almost jarring. It’s like they were made by two totally different dev teams.

I firmly believe that the key to happiness in adulthood is getting back into the things you loved as a child.

Case in point: I’m getting back into Digimon and it’s making me feel amazing.

To be clear: Digimon rules.

Final Fantasy Tactics. Okay, I get it now. It’s like a whole unique experience in gaming.

I’d played the Tactics Advanced games before, but the original is a whole other thing.

Sigh…..Married at First Sight.

Every yeah I complain it’s a total sham. Every year I live for the drama.

I would do so much better with a 4 day work week. Or a no day work week, but I don’t want to be too greedy.

I know they won’t, but kinda wish the UN audience would just start booing Trump. Damn the repercussions.

In case there was ever any doubt, the only reason the right complained about cancel culture was because they weren't doing the canceling.

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

She’s transitioned, you see. It’s okay when they do it on their terms. Other people’s terms? That’s not okay though.
