Hi! I'm Shady. I answer to damn near anything. I wish joy was my default emotion. I like TTRPG, Ernie, Baseball, Taylor Swift, Springsteen's music, Critical Role, BG3, and the color of blue that's a clear Ohio Sky in the early spring and late fall. (4396fa) It's okay to hug me. I hope you're well.

We're not having a mid-life crisis, we're having a mid-crisis life
Me, sitting in front of my computer, overwhelmed, under-rested, with a brain that's being slowly poisoned by a constant infusion of infuriating, terrifying news and clumsy fascist propaganda masquerading as news.
"Boy, I'm having a lot of trouble focusing today!"

I think all I want is a 100% true to original Remastered Need For Speed Underground 2. It was fun chill vibes all about building cool looking cars and winning races.
Hell gimme NFL STreet Vol 2 remastered or with updated Rosters. I bet that would SLAP.

Reminiscing back to my CoD days and missing how few responsibilities I had. I never thought my life would be so different. I also miss the friends we've lost along the way.

For the record, I don't want hybrid mana to change. I think it needs to stay as AND.
As a guy who likes to build around visuals, having green in my Esper deck seems weird.

I've had a lot of awesome personal Ws lately, which has been hard to balance mentally with all the state/federal Ls happening.

Get your shit together @bsky.app. The world is garbage enough without you adding to the trash pile. We're all disappointed in how pathetically spineless you are. Do. Better. Do better or get ready to watch your website crash and burn as you set fire to the community who built it.

Just beat the Pokemon TCG for Gameboy for the first time ever. For some reason as a kid I never finished the game. (I've beaten Yellow/Blue/Red Dozens of times.) A fun experience. I defeated the Grand Masters with two decks a "Butterfree and Friends" deck that was butterfree and hitmonchan/lee.

we're on the precipice of a universal antiviral medication, mRNA technology is out here curing cancers every other month, HIV is cureable AND preventable, renewables generate more energy now than fossil fuels worldwide and and more cost-effective, coral reefs are growing back all over the world rn
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Not me still thinking about the time an artist I liked called me out on twitter for asking a simple question and crashed out on me about rights and the like.
I was trying to be nice and offer them money for no extra work on their own but no crash out on me. That's how you lose a fan.

My old person take is that not one single person needs to have access to my location information. If you want to know where I am just ask me. Having 24/7 knowledge of the location of your family and friends is weird and invasive
