Just here to nerd out.
I'm pretty sure I just accidentally activated a sleeper agent in my wife by being a supportive partner (not opposed to pampering) saying:

"Sure, let's go get our toes done and we can hit up a craft store after"

It just came out.

I'm afraid of what transpired at her cheshire grin.

Pray for me.

If a game studio is going to double down on AI tools that stole from other people's art:

I, personally, don't think they have any room to complain about their games being pirated.

I'd just call it inspiration for my own hobby projects.

Cleaning out my document drawer and finding a Christmas Amazon gift card from (I don't even know how many) several years ago?

Or.

Getting rewarded for de-cluttering?

Checked a bucket list item (I've had since I was 18) last night.

Finally got to see Billy Idol live.

It was fantastic seeing both Joan Jett and him killing it on stage. Getting a chance to see one of my top 5 songs of all time live was a moment I will cherish.

Partner being off on Mondays has turned into a good reset after the start of my work week.

Watching wrestling, some board games (Today was a solo Legacy of Yu session and a round of Hive Pocket), and tacos.

Makes up for the rude interruption against the weekend.

Been years of this dude making me double take at my many, many years of PAX West (been going almost 20 now). Finally mustered the courage to say hi to Fake Tycho. Absolute great con veteran and look forward to meeting again next year.

The lead up to PAX West is also known as the longest work week possible.

Realizing that I haven't charged my RB guitar in months.

Guess I'm singing tonight.

Chatting with my friend about thoughts on the new DK game (aside from loving it):

"Have you seen that bananza form? I'm gonna start calling him Little Debby with those Zebra Cakes."

My partner and I met talking about video games out front of a goth club.

We bonded over wrestling nerdom when we were in the early stages of dating.

Playing the new WWE2k (before watching SummerSlam), she asked for the controller to learn how to play herself.

I don't know how I hit the jackpot.

If you're not up late with spicy instant noodles and drunken youtube music compilation algorithms with your partner....is it even real love?

Been a minute since I've run a D&D campaign.

*watching D&D reels*

Me: But what if the elevator was a mimic?

Wife: Nope. Nope. No. *walks out of room, voice fading* nooooo........

I guess I'm not allowed to run a new campaign.

After a preorder shipment nightmare from Target, my Switch2 has arrived several days after launch when people were able to buy off the shelf nearby.

While I'm at work.

Just hanging out in the open on my porch and not behind any of the things my deliverer could have hid it behind.

I love it.

I haven't really been into the Disn or Univ theme parks....but Fallout?

I'm trying to book that shit right now.

Finished #expedition33

The partner was yelling at me for my end game choice (also how dare you make me choose at the end game with no previous prompts).

Then watching the painter ending afterwards......

I made the right choice. Didn't have enough middle fingers for that other ending.

@ltlnyxluneshine.bsky.social and I keeping our #boardgames, bevs, and #eurovision tradition going for another year.

Only had the chance to play the prologue of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 so far.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Coffee and #boardgame date this morning to check out
15% Board Game Cafe in Tacoma.

Nice, cozy spot with a great selection of games and tasty drinks.

Finally played a physical copy of #onitama (it's always #BGA when we play) and got a chance to try out Lanterns Dice as well while we were there.
