Gamer and Advocate. Old? Yeah maybe. He/him. [E]
Holy fuck @weakenedfriends.bsky.social is playing Seattle. Holy fuck they're playing at a place I don't need to take 4 lines to get to.

Yeah. I gotta do this.

@angryseattle.bsky.social there. I found you and this place feels more like home.

It's very difficult to want happiness for everyone when there are so many people in the world that thrive on the misery of others.

Oh hey I'm posting! So I watched the new season of the Witcher, and it's not great. Everyone is complaining about Liam Hemsworth, but he's not the main reason, honestly. They don't use the precious few scenes they have to progress the story enough with all of the plot threads they have.

@mattmcmuscles.bsky.social as my wife watched the latest episode of Worst Fighting Game with me tonight she was devastated that you did not address the absolute cake of “X” and to a lesser degree the other fighters. “There should have been a Cake Feel section!! He’s in a thong!”

I wish I was looking forward to Bloodlines 2 more but I know it’s not going to be great. I just hope the story carries it.

My first #Hades2 clear!

Just a monstrous run with skulls raining everywhere. Not the fastest that there will be, because I am still early in my Arcana, but I got some lucky God picks.

I want to play #Hades2, but I also have to listen for the doorbell to sign for a delivery. I can't do both right now. Get here faster mail guy.

Age doesn't necessarily make people wiser, but it sure makes people THINK they are. Wisdom comes with experience in the world, insight about potential experiences, and empathy for others.

Wait my birthday is tomorrow, and the rapture is tomorrow. Have I been God this whole time?

@jillianluft.bsky.social Happy Birthday! You are one day older than me and now that we are adults that is considered a "bad" thing by the contemporaries. But we don't care about that, so enjoy your day!

My early prediction for game of the year based on hype and studio pedigree for game of the year alone was Hades 2. But while 2025 has been a dumpster fire in every other way, it has had some amazing games!

It's unfortunate that the President of the United States has created an environment permissive of political violence and I think we should all call on him to work to repair the damage he's done.

Perhaps if he had, Charlie Kirk would be alive.

@tychobrahe.bsky.social It's good to know that you love your Enforcers!

Oh, I lied, here's a picture of me and my team from #PAXWest. It was such a good time this year.
September 3, 2025 at 11:18 PM
I have other PAX memories, but I lost a lot of my pictures. But I plan on taking more this year.

I didn't really use instagram much for a while, and I pulled the other ones from twitter. I'll save my pictures smarter!

doubleposting a memory today because I forgot to upload a picture and had to delete the memory from a couple days back.

In 2019, my Wifes first PAX enforcing! FFXIV was at PAX and the Enforcers decided "We want our fucking shirts, and we want them together." So we got them!

PAX West hype stuff! So in my mission to meet all of the C-Team at PAX in 2018 I got to meet @ryanhartman.bsky.social!

See you in 4 weeks.

Also if a short woman in an Enforcer shirt yells "Gotta feed that horse" from across the convention center at you, that was my wife.

Cool name BTW.

Too many side quests is a thing in non MMORPGs. Like, in an MMO, where you are playing as a part of a community and as an activity and a part of a world over a LONG period of time? Pile it on. But in a single player RPG? It gets taxing fast. Not a new take, but the padding can ruin a game.

Thinking I might get my hair buzzed this year, instead of the cut that looks mostly like the picture in my icon.

In 2018 My wife and I were lucky enough to get to talk with the amazing @krisstraub.com for a few minutes and got a picture! She's been a huge C-team fan, and has been rewatching it leading to West this year, and I've joined her for my first watch. Hello, friend!
