A millennial who isn't great with social media, likes video games (especially "retro") and doesn't have enough time to play them.

For decades I tried playing through #chronotrigger never getting much further than the Millennial Fair. The past couple weeks I finally committed and made it through my first playthrough. I now understand why it's so well revered! What a fun adventure!

This year was pretty rough (more than usual) but I appreciate the connections and interactions made through here. I hope you all have a wonderful and prosperous 2025 and look forward to another year with you all!

Quick short showing a Sinden Lightgun working on the #unico #novablast. Just sharing to show that the cabinet's screen is indeed functional with this device.

The Muppets version of 12 Days of Christmas is the best Christmas song. Fight me.

I'm about to hit my 'midlife crisis' birthday next month. The old stereotype is to buy a sports car. I got an electric truck that can drive like a sports car instead. 2025 Rivian R1T.

Turned on FF9 (Steam version, moguri mod) for the first time in maybe two-ish years. Just happened to be at this point that looked like a Thanksgiving meal... 😂

Finished my first playthrough of this gem (with LOADS of help from the Internet). If I had this game growing up I don't think there's any way I could have beat it without a strategy guide... and even then I wonder if that would have been enough.

Making good progress from last night. Just made a friend. You are safe with me little one. If anything happens to you...

This is my 'big bear' named Garrus. He's helping me play through a game for the first time that I didn't get to experience when growing up. What are we playing?
