I never can win claw games. I saw these Snorlax and Psyduck machines and both had a plushie close to the drop area, so it seemed possible. I cashed in a couple bucks for 5 tokens. 2 tokens = 1 play. I got the Snorlax in one try. Thought I couldn't get that lucky twice. And then I did. 😍

People who haven't rented in markets like Boston are always shocked when I tell them we have to cough up $9-12k upfront to move into a 1-2BR apartment (in the relatively "affordable" neighborhoods). It keeps you from wanting to move even when they raise rent every year because moving is too costly.

I was just reminded of this FB message from my father from couple of years back. My parents don't text unless someone has died, call so I remember laughing so hard and being like, "Why this, of all things?" 😂😂

The man I married. Who, ironically, has taught me (and still is, because I'm a tough student) how to express my feelings more. 🤣

The thing in BG3 where characters' camp clothes just vanish happened tonight and Gale was just chillin in his undies. It wasn't until I opened his inventory to clothe him that I DIED laughing. Something about him holding that staff while in just underwear sent me. I cry-laughed for 5 minutes.

Rewatching Netflix's Castlevania because it's so good. And the banter between Trevor and Alucard is unparalleled.

Hello! I'm new here (to Bluesky)!

(Photo from a recent outing at the Boston Common that felt appropriate)

I'm an academic-turned-UX Researcher (over 1 year ago) who keeps a foot in the game studies space.
