I’m the partner to an amazing person, and am a dad, geek, and gamer in Edmonton. I tend to talk about video games a lot, along with various randomness.

The #FFXIV DDOS stuff really sucks, and I wish it would get better. I was right at the end boss of a dungeon when it hit, can't get back in. :(

Well, I think this is the first game I've gotten 100% achievements on Steam. Shelldiver was a short game (8.2 hours to complete), but well worth the money and was a LOT of fun. Highly recommend for a very chill game to unwind and relax with.

I’m up to 6 hours in the game in a short period of time, and I stayed up too late playing last night because I just got into a groove.
Really scratching an itch I didn’t know I had. So good.

Picked up Shelldiver after hearing @scottjohnson.zip talk about it on @coreshow.bsky.social - really enjoying it. Simple repeatable gameplay that's just very satisfying.

I have today off, so I treated myself to the best fritter in Edmonton from Doughnut Party. Now I’m waiting for Costco to open.
That is absolutely the most middle aged dad sentence ever. 😅

Finally saw Wicked (part 1) last night. Never saw the show, never read the book, haven't even seen all of The Wizard of Oz.
It was pretty good.

I’m the type of neurodivergent that values punctuality quite a bit.
Someone said that they’d be here at 8, and it’s 8:03, and I just can’t. 🙃

Alberta's justice minister has tabled a bill to invoke the notwithstanding clause to shield a suite of legislation from legal challenges. The laws in question restrict the rights of transgender people in access to health care and sports, and affect K-12 education of all students.

If this is true, would be an easy boycott of the Olympics. Hopefully countries would also boycott.
The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.
