I’ve been thinking about this hot picture of Barney all day, and now you have to, too.

Do “Shenmue” fans (other than me) enjoy this album?? Hope y’all aren’t sleeping on this one.

I love this part in “Shenmue II” where Ryo has to discover the 4 Wude: Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent

Ok, now that Baphomet is on the tree, it’s feeling like Christmas. ❤️

These blue collar dockworkers are so horny for Ryo… but aren’t we all… 😮‍💨

I have always loved this art so much, especially since it looks like they’re boyfriends embracing 🥹🥰

I’ll buy you a Jet Cola if you can name an ass that looks better in jeans than Ryo’s.

(spoiler: I didn’t even bring money for the Jet Cola machine because no one can win this bet)

Gays will be like “she saved my life” and it’s this fierce diva from Shenmue

Monument Valley 3 (2025, PS5)
Rating: 7.5/10

The final installment of this puzzle trilogy finishes strong. I’m really impressed by the small gameplay innovations gradually revealed across all 3 games. The basic mechanics don’t drastically change but there’s enough clever changes to keep it fun.

This memory from 7 years ago popped up on my phone and it always makes me laugh. This is a staged video of us pretending to have a boring, awkward, silent dinner with some friends. (We actually had nonstop chats and laughs)

Monument Valley 2 (2025, PS5)
Rating: 8/10

Giving this a slightly higher score than the first game, mostly because of a clearer narrative. There’s enough little variations in puzzle mechanics to keep the game interesting and not repetitive. It has a captivating aesthetic. Brief, but satisfying.

✅ M.C. Escher: The Game
✅ Brief but satisfying (~3 hrs)

@jonwesleyhuff.bsky.social found this picture of me from 6 years ago and I love how dramatic it is.

Yes, I put our Xmas lights up. Are you going to be a whiny little bitch about it? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m so happy this is getting a physical release on a modern console. The short story (and comic adaptation found in Ellison’s “Dream Corridor”) haunts me almost daily.

I had to check in on a locked buddy yesterday… and remind him he’s still got a ways to go. 😅😈
