Today is this guy's 5th birthday - happy birthday, Beauregard!

I’m hearing all the time from federal workers, nonprofits, LGBTQIA+ Americans, immigrant families, and others in our community who have been targeted and harmed by the president’s actions. I wrote this letter about our path forward.

I turned on my PS5 for the first time in over a year and remembered why I love console gaming (outside of MMOs)

A lazy Saturday for Daphné

Me: Gets 4 new games for Christmas. Also me: Starts playing Pokemon Violet that I got on launch day (2022).

Today is the day that I become the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything!

I have gotten my daily New Festival event tickets (ESO), checked off two more tasks from the Dreamlight Valley star path, finished a Balatro run, and completed my dailies in FFXIV. A very productive Christmas morning!

Bought a Bartesian on Black Friday and have been enjoying getting tipsy at home again.

Trying to find special treats for two French bulldogs who are allergic to everything except air and water is impossible

The problem FFXIV is having is a lack on content for non-raiders until the later patches. I've gotten all my jobs to 100, finished all quests, and completed the new Allied Society. So now I log in for a couple hours each week to do the custom delivery and get my weekly coin from the alliance raid.

I have almost as many versions of Mass Effect than I do of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I am a big deal in the Duolingo world compared to my friends

I started Star Trek Discovery this weekend and, while it's no Voyager, it is pretty good so far!

Apparently YouTube Music thinks it's the end of they year - they must be on the retail schedule.

I really want to like Dreamlight Valley, but after 100 hours playtime, it still feels lacking in some way. They keep adding characters and making QoL improvements, but it mostly is just a grind to finish Star Paths.

Beauregard was diagnosed with IVDD and had to have back surgery in August. His sister, Daphné, never wanted to be far away even though he was in a pen for 8 weeks.

I fanta'd back to an Au Ra recently to get back to my original character roots #ffxiv #gpose

I have 29 total levels left in FFXIV to get all jobs back to max level. A bit behind where I wanted to be, but still plugging away.

My Bluesky feed is all dogs and gamers with a brief doom post - my perfect social media blend.

My favorite games/collections: 🎮 Final Fantasy (Favorites: X/X-2 & XIV) 🎮 Animal Crossing 🎮 Fallout 🎮 Persona 🎮 Shin Megami Tensei 🎮 Balder's Gate 🎮 Pokemon 🎮 Xenosaga/Xenoblade Chronicles 🎮 Elder Scrolls 🎮 Warcraft/Starcraft 📦 JRPGs 📦 Farming Sims (Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon)

I will never pass a dog picture without giving it a like

These two know how to make every day better!

Finally cut the Twitter cord and am now a full-time BSer

Wanting to see if the grass is greener (or should I say the sky is bluer) over here.
