How it started vs how it’s going.
Oh no. The VPN at work is down, and I can’t do my job. Guess I’ll just have to play video games instead.

I was bored while waiting for my prescription to be filled so I organized the Lego Star Wars section at the store so all the sets were where they were supposed to be versus scattered everywhere.

Lego continues to have a grip on my wallet. Another Day 1 for me.

She looks badass! I had my reservations with her initial casting, but I have been proven wrong.

I checked my World of Warcraft stats to see how many hours I played after starting it up last year after a 17 absence. I put over 472 hours into it, which was a lot higher than I thought 😅 MMOs really do suck people in.

My Switch Review! Smaller year for the Switch for me with only 132 hours.

I’m hoping to play it more this year!

My wife and I finished Stranger Things S5 tonight after waiting for all episodes to be available. Like the 13 year wait for Kingdom Hearts III, Stranger Things S5 didn’t live up to the hype of its long wait.

Donkey Kong Bananza is so much fun. I love going around and smashing everything in sight. It’s so cathartic.

My daughter is at the age where she just unintentionally insults me now.

“Daddy why aren’t you a boss like grandpa and uncle Andrew (my younger brother?”

Me: *dies inside*

‼️‼️‼️ ANNOUNCEMENT ‼️‼️‼️

Dev Diary 001

Sooo… none of you know this, but late last year I decided that this year, I was going to embark upon the journey of making my own video game (writing it, scoring it, making it, you name it!)

I think I’ve come up with a viable concept for the title screen music

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. The United States is embracing the latter.

Finished one last Lego set before the clock strikes midnight!

End of the year skircle! I’m grateful for all the friends I’ve made here regardless of whether they’re in the circle or not.

I know I’m not the most active and engaging person anymore, but I appreciate everyone I get to engage with on here. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

As 2025 comes to a close, here’s the last of my personal media wrap up.

I watched 29 movies this year, and I read 11 books.

My movie list definitely reflects being a parent of a young child 😂

My book list shows I’ve fully become addicted to Romantacy 😂

I’m not planning on finishing anymore games in 2025. Here’s the list of games I completed this year.

I finished 24 games. This year was the year of replays and World of Warcraft Classic. I replayed a lot older favorites and WoW. Lots and lots of WoW…

My 2025 GotY was Borderlands 4!

Stranger Things and Attack on Titan are perfect lessons for how not to release episodes of a tv show.

My in-laws got me Donkey Bonanza for Christmas yesterday!

My experience with it so far can be described as “Monkey go smash smash.”
