Picked up my Switch 2 from Costco of all places. I did it to get the one year of Nintendo online plus expansion. The guy getting from the backroom said oh man I think we're out before emerging with the package not the nicest thing to do.

Turned 41 years old. I was talking to a student about the impact of The Sands of Time and they said that games super old and I realized it came out in 2003. I am super old I guess.

The more I play Expedition 33 the more I'm thinking this has to be game of the year. Just incredible so far.

Just saw happy birthday to MK3. That was released 4/15/1995. Thirty years ago. There are moments I realize just how old I am. #MK3

I've been playing a bunch of Assassin's Creed Shadows lately and I am loving some of the small adjustments to the mechanics. The narrative changes are also amazing.

I've been playing a little bit of inZoi and so far it is an interesting competitor to Sims. It is in need of some polish but making and styling homes is super fun. Interestingly it runs on both my PC running on a GTX 1070 and my PC running a RTX 4060 ti. The 1070 looks like it's from the 90s. #inZoi
