I like books, rhythm games, metal and hardcore music, arcade games, pinballs, whiskey, JRPGs and preworkout
Enjoying the very good Switch 2 port of GRID Legends, which has a massive amount of content perfect for grinding on a handheld. Cautiously optimistic for Gear Club Unlimited 3 to be another great racing game. GCU1 was a big time sink for me in the early Switch 1 days.

Finished a job application that genuinely took me over an hour to fill out and required me to fact-check a bunch of paragraphs on random topics. At this point I question how many of these job applications are just farming for AI training.

Really excited for this. Huge fan of the Dark Pictures games, and Supermassive's VR games. They took quite a detour between the last Dark Pictures game and this one, releasing Casting of Frank Stone and Little Nightmares 3. Hoping the extra couple years of polish makes it their best one yet.

What's an award-winning, highly acclaimed game that you didn't like but still agree that it's a masterpiece? I played Indika this weekend and wow I hated the religious trauma of it all. Pretty amazing on every level despite my hangups.

Poker Night at the Inventory getting a remaster 7 years after it was delisted from Steam is pretty crazy. But... this is the perfect time to observe these swag poker chips they handed out at PAX many years ago.

Obsessed with the visualizer for Joji's new song "LOVE YOU LESS" because look at this! Reminds me of long nights playing Freelancer and X-Wing with a HOTAS controller. Inches away from the soft hum of a Viewsonic CRT. Fuck I'm old.

Jobs applied for. House cleaned. Gym done. Protein consumed. Time to listen to the new Joji record and cry.

Finished Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time. Definitely one of the GOATs, don't know why I waited so long to get to it. Will be playing other endings, for sure.

This week's episode of Starfleet Academy was my favorite one yet.

Google has rolled out Genie 3 today, which can generate "explorable" 3D environments via prompt. Think of the worst magazine-CD game demo you've ever played, now imagine it's much worse and can only be 60 seconds long. Also, every play melts some glacier for you 🥰 It costs $250/mo ❗we're so fucked.

It's haunting
How I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Seeing copies of Stranger Things 3 for Switch sell for $400 and wondering if this is peak time to sell mine or wait it out. Years ago I sold a copy of Shantae and the Pirate's Curse for almost $600 and bought an L-TEK which was a good trade! Shantae doesn't go for that much any more.

We're supposed to get a lot of snow tomorrow and I was a little concerned that my Best Buy would use one of the gig courier services to deliver my preorder of FFVIIR for NS2. But they shipped it FedEx, so now I don't have to worry about it arriving at all! It'll probably show up next week lmao.

While "multicolor" is an exciting theme to sell a set, it doesn't have much room for direct mechanical synergy. That said, we found that a few "have lots of colors" payoffs really pushed people towards trying out new splashes, especially with the support of the common bases in this set #FFGStaff

Season 3 of The OC is so unhinged and then ******* just fucking dies in ***** arms like that 😶
Fucking ballsy to put out a 25-episode third season and then end it with a hella morbid cliffhanger.
I've been rewatching The OC, which is an excellent TV show that doesn't need me to defend it. Wrapped season 2 last night (so it's all downhill from here, yes) and had completely forgotten about George Lucas' fun cameo as himself.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

One thing still sorely missing from Switch 2 for me is virtual pinball. I've heard Zen Studios had a rough year with layoffs and budget cuts, but I neeeeed a NS2 version of Pinball FX. 1080p 120fps vertical handheld play with a grip pleeeease
