I’m a nostalgic 90s kid, happily married to a badass wife with ADHD. I enjoy playing a variety of games, from NES to PS5. I’m happiest on days where I get to go on long walks while listening to music. I love playing piano, swimming, and going to movies.

Overheard from the back row of the car, my kid saying: “…two witches? …three witches? …four witches? No that’s too many witches. Three witches.”

Escapism in my yakuza game

When kids say that my favorite childhood games look “very” old:

My love of gaming is at odds with my desire for there to be zero visible cords in any of my setups.

I’ve kinda had Like a Dragon Gaiden sitting on the back-burner (very slowly chipped away through the first chapter a couple times per week since it got added to PS Plus) because I’ve mostly focused on Ace Attorney games haha. But lately I’m feeling the pull to prioritize this one, it’s clicking.

My kid sat me down for a lesson and said “did you know the year is two thousand twenty five?” 😆

Which gamer are you? 1. Tries to play everything, finishes only a few 2. Mostly revisits their past favorites 3. Slowly chips away at a few games per year 4. Works through their never-ending backlog one at a time 5. Plays whatever their friends are playing 6. Basically just plays 2-3 franchises

Must just be my aging mind working correctly, but all of Bluesky's "me in high school vs me in my 30s / 40s" posts just have me thinking that all the high school pictures look like awkward little babies whereas the current pictures look damn good.

Fortunately, I'm combatting Yakuza Pirate FOMO by returning to "The Man Who Erased His Name" (which is available in the Portal streaming beta). Just finished the first chapter last night, and the combat is starting to click with me! (as somebody who preferred the Ichiban RPGs)

Once again begging for the PS Portal Cloud Streaming feature to leave the beta stage! I see that the new Yakuza Pirates in Hawaii game supports PS Plus Cloud Streaming, so I'd theoretically be able to play it on my portal even while my wife plays PS5... if I wasn't limited to just the beta lineup! 😩

Hell yeah! Finally got the black stake win with plasma deck! That combination of three jokers on the left was supremely powerful. Basically turned every hand I played into a flush or super flush which supercharged my runner. Managed to increase my # of hands twice and added a throwback multiplier!

Probably Pikmin (1) Rented the original from blockbuster shortly after it released on GameCube. Bought it used a few years later. Bought the New Play Control version (Wii) when it was new and then bought it again in college. Downloaded it on Wii U virtual console. Bought the Switch eshop port.

When a show / movie / game is littered with bad puns, it's always infinitely more funny if nobody reacts to them. Let the audience groan, not the characters.

How basic is it for "Oreo" flavor to be one of my favorites for ice cream, cakes, and more? Interestingly, I don't really like eating Oreos by themselves.

If you were married to me, I'd be cooking you butter chicken with rice and naan tonight. Jealous?

Can this quote stop being relevant for ONE WEEK? (The good news is that Andor Season 2 is gonna hit extra hard)

My kid told “I didn’t bring my smile today but I’m pretty happy” and honestly that’s goals. We should all be able to talk like that.

What is an “Always Sunny” quote that’s always bouncing around inside your head? For me: “Oh, everybody, hey, I GET to go to work! I GET to have a job! I GET to have to make money for us!”

St Denis Medical isn’t perfect, but it’s been an enjoyable watch so far. I hope it performs well enough to keep getting new episodes and finding its groove. Any show that has characters frantically chasing a plague-carrying cat through a hospital deserves at least a couple more seasons.

Another year, another Pokemon Day stream. Another year of me probably not caring about any of the announcements while waiting for the GBA games to get rereleased or at least ported to NSO.

Now we need a Rextro spinoff just like how Captain Toad got a full game based on his 3D World levels.
