Elite Dangerous: Cmdr Kinnevex
Revisiting Final Fantasy XIV has been great/terrible for my mental health.

Finally almost finished with Shadowbringers— and it’s been great. Life has been stressful but it’s nice to see optimism in storytelling. And such an amazing community of players.

The people who complained about the timeline confusion in Netflix's The Witcher better not ever try watching Foundation. I think it will cause their eyeballs to melt.

Tekko was good. Home now. More Tekko tomorrow.

If you're not bringing these vibes to the function, stay home. 🤣

Oh no. I accidentally reinstalled Final Fantasy XIV. Please send help. Or supplies. Not sure which yet.

It’s kind of depressing but I don’t think we’re surviving this. So much of it is evil. Not just unfair, unbelievable or unconscionable. Evil.

I don’t know that our society can ever recover from how monstrous this shit is, and I mourn for the generations that may follow us. America is cooked.

How are you enjoying the new Expedition in No Man's Sky?
I'm in love with the new Worlds content, and I'm consistently impressed at all the work Hello Games has put into rolling their engine updates into NMS.

Look! It’s me! I am both incredulous and graying!

But at least I persist. Please persist with me— even if it’s hard.

The, uhhh… the Anaconda is a big ship.

I’m currently deep into revisiting #EliteDangerous, and frankly— if you’re into space and you’re not playing this game, you’re missing out.

FFO: The Expanse, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Star Trek, Alien(s), and honestly— blue collar science fiction is my jam.

I want to be clear— because I was not prepared for the outpouring of communication on this: I adore Elite Dangerous. And seeing this passionate fanbase still exploring the galaxy makes me hopeful that ED still has some gas in the tank.

Despite the vastness of the galaxy, it feels a lot closer now.

Anyone out there still playing Elite Dangerous in 2025? If not, what cool space games are you playing? I'm hankering for some good, realistic science fiction.

We’re bringing our competitive fighting game series back to Pittsburgh. Finally. Pittsburgh has a crazy welcoming gaming (and FGC) community.

This election was fucked. But I do not want to exist in hate and negativity for the next year. I will be kind for ME.

BUT.

Do not mistake my kindness with passivity.

I would seek to destroy these monsters with the very kindness they would deny others.

It’s beginning to look a lot like autumn. We’re exiting PGX season and we’re off to Columbus this weekend for #GDEX

I need a break. But then we’re back to solving Retrograde’s new home.
