#Dnd session recap:🎲

After a grueling battle in the laboratory, the group takes a much needed short rest. The undead presence saps them of their will and potency of healing spells.
Further on, they are waylaid by prisoners of the Beholder, namely three giants of the elements! Chaos ensues.🤙

#Dnd session recap:

The heroes delve ever further into the Beholder's den. They discover a skeletal dragon amidst a macabre laboratory. A battle ensues between the powerful undead dragon and a swarm of zombies. All the while, the beholder blasts eye rays from afar.

Gamer moots: I'm trying to clear my backlog, what do you suggest next?

🎮 God of War: Ragnarok
🎮 Death Stranding
🎮 Sekiro

(I just beat The Last of Us 2 so I wanna switch up the vibes.)

Three decks left to beat on gold stake.

Black deck is whopping me hard. I just can't get past Ante six, I'm getting screwed by the shops and lackluster Jokers.
To whom it may concern,

I started playing Balatro seven months ago and most nights play "just one more match".

Four decks left to beat on gold!

This game has legs and we're running deep.

Still hooked on Majora's Mask.

None of my friends had it growing up. Can confirm that it's still fun and addicting years later.
Better late than never!
Lately I have been binging N64 games:

Currently hooked on Majora's Mask.
Never played it as a kid but I am fully addicted now.

I miss the old Zelda formula, it's good to be back

🎮 Rolled credits on The Last of Us 2.

🎮 Engaging combat, fluid mechanics and incredible atmosphere. What an immersive world to engage with.

🎮 A heavy story line with BIG punches. Emotional and heavy throughout.

The ending is going to stick with me for a while.
What an amazing experience.

Last night's #dnd session:

The Mosswood Brotherhood continues their ascent through the Beholder's den only to be waylayed by a massive skeletal dragon and some zombies.
Insane battle, particularly a table record 88 damage critical from the paladin!

Seeing Metroid 4 reviews and it seems like Nintendo overcooked and under delivered.

Yikes, I'll skip this mess.

Good thing it *only* took 18 years to make 🫠

A day later and I can't stop thinking about that insane Lions/Giants game.
Winston was a real treat and those trick plays were legendary!
Another historic defensive collapse.

How is Bowen still employed?
