Finally went through Bloodborne, all optional bosses (not all chalice dungeons) all DLC... My god... Totally get it now. Masterpiece.

Really! While I had already played Battletech games, Mechwarrior 2, and specifically the Ghost Bear Legacy Expansion, is probably what got me hooked. Now, what's going on with those MechCommander rights? I have such a hard time getting that first one to run on modern hardware.

Kit informing Krysta that she is being let go due to rebranding as Kit and Reggie

You can not deny the fan service going on with MTGxFinalFantasy. I've dabbled since the beginning but was always a bigger Dragon Quest (Warrior back then) fan. But I want to grab some of these. Hoping Wizards doesn't underprint the commander decks.

At this point, to start catching up on my backlog just of recent games like Expedition 33, the Blue Prince, Doom and more, I'm going to have to break out some spreadsheets and time management tools.

Started Clair Obscur Expedition 33 since I don't want any accidental spoilers. The story sets out to grab you, doesn't it. Some of the best story I have seen in years, and I'm barely into it. I am in the middle of 2 other very different games, which I think is slowing my grasp of all the mechanics

Legitimately thought I was watching a Bloodborne 2 trailer for most of it

Ah, winter weather in northeast ohio... Didn't even go to the gym and my watch tells me I have over 40 minutes of aerobic exercise before 9 am. Sometimes I envy those who have never had to hear the term "lake effect snow"

Silverstone is making a Retro PC case... 8Bitdo has a keyboard that is styled after the IBM model M... I haven't built a new PC in quite a while.. I'm getting ideas... If someone tells me there's a modern monitor that looks like a CRT I'm screwed

I will never spell the word coalesce right the first time. For reasons I do not understand, my brain does not seem to register it as a real word. Does not matter how many times it ends up in my code.

It's "this is what happens to cans left in the garage" cold outside

Um... no??

Can we call it the NS2 ("en ess two") instead of the Switch 2? Because it sounds so much cooler

Look,just know I'm sitting here reading everyone's #Spotify wrapped for the year like

Use what now?!?! At this point I think I can actually feel my bones turning to dust when people mention yet another thing I have never heard of. I'm just going to start telling people they can reach me on my rotary phone on my landline...

Now this just feels like payback for years of mild winters... #LakeEffectSnow

Yeah, not cool mother nature #snow #winter

It may be at least 5 years running now that this is my annual Thanksgiving day attire

A Starter Pack of accounts that will just send me free bourbon all the time

Speaking of snow, that was a football game! Are we allowed to talk sports here? Where are the life-long suffering #Cleveland sports fans at? #NFL #Browns

And so begins the time of year I question whether I actually like snow or need to move somewhere warmer.

Do yourself a favor a grab this. Great classic. Just enough modern additions that are there if you want them to make it more approachable. It is an 80s grind after all.

It's a day of random deliveries of things I forgot I ordered I guess because this showed up today as well

Got my hands on a copy of this. I only found out this even existed because Happy Console Gamer was sent a copy. Haven't had a chance to really check it out, but seems like such a random oddity #Ys #rpg #falcom

Sometimes, I feel like my beard is the real life equivalent of a health bar over my head. This thought is worst when I'm on video call with a bunch of people and I have not had a chance to trim my beard in more than a week, I feel like everyone can just read my stress level. Right there. On my face

This does feel more like the good old days of the bird app over a decade ago when I first got on it. That app was getting claustrophobic feeling for years now. Only realized it once I was over here. Turns out the more recent toxicity over there wasn't the only problem.

I need to stop with the collector's editions. But how can I I mean those are nice

Tracking information says that my Dragon Quest III collectors edition will get here a day early. Will it make it? And will it have been worth the price?

Okay, I guess I'll jump in since we are all doing this. Hi Bluesky algorithm. Just some of my interests: ✨️Dragon Quest ✨️Castlevania ✨️Ys ✨️Dark Souls (soulsbourne) ✨️Diablo ✨️90s RTSs ✨️80s & 90s point and clicks ✨️Zelda ✨️Xcom, and turn based ✨️Battletech ✨️Magic: The Gathering (other CCGs) ✨️NES SMS era

Is this the one we are all going with at this point? I'm getting too old to figure out new social media platforms
