This is going to be fantastic. SWERY and SUDA make games like no one else on the planet. I've wishlisted it already and can't wait to try it out.

If your child is at a school with a policy like this, you need to move heaven and earth to eliminate it. It's almost fractal in its wrongness. It's educational malpractice.

Little flower watched the light snowfall we had with intense interest.

A very happy Spring Festival/Lunar new year from my family to yours. May the Snake bring you wealth and success in the coming year!

RIP to David Lynch. What a weird, wonderful man and a terrific artist. The world is better for him being here.

One of many advantages to living in China is the local noodle shops. Big bowl of beef noodles (大碗牛肉面）for 13 yuan. Delicious, filling, and cheap.

The Lego store had some cute Lunar New Year’s kits like this lucky cat. There’s an orange tree that balcony to get, but one thing at a time 😂. I also got a couple more substantial builds that I’ll get to once I’m finished grading finals.

I finished the Artemis build a couple of months ago. It was awesome to put together. Here's the finished product, with pride of place on my desk. I've been looking for the next project. The Starry Night painting looks great, but I'll have to check the local Lego store to see what they have.

I'm going to keep a thread of games I'm playing in 2025. I plan on burning through a chunk of my RPG backlog this year and documenting it sounds like a fun project. I want to finish the Legend of Heroes series, since it seems like it's tailor-made for me. So...

I made a few resolutions for the new year: Daily writing, not related to work, 30 min/day; Exercise at least five times a week; Limit time on social media; Practice Chinese writing and speaking at least 30 min/day. I’m happy to report that I’ve kept them all for one week. Small victories matter!

This is the face of a cat who can’t understand why he isn’t allowed to lick my armpits after I put deodorant on.

I started reading the news and got body-checked by this story. It's horrific. Please get out now if you're anywhere near its path. Santa-Ana driven fires are not ones to take chances with.

Day 6 of my self-imposed 7 day challenge. Leg day should not be skipped even if squats are the tools of evil spirits. This will always be my #2 game of the year, every year. It's Nintendo at their most experimental and I hop they never stop doing weird stuff like this. #Nintendo #RingFitAdventure

My game of the year for 2024 is the only one I played that was actually released in 2024. It's Shiren the Wanderer: Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island, and it's high on my "favorites of all time" list. It's better than it's ever been and well worth the price.

Day 5 of 7, Day 2 of focusing on upper body. My arms are exhausted. Tomorrow I'll have to do legs to give them a rest. I'm still completely amazed at just how good this whole package is. I honestly feel like it is a complete fitness program. #Nintendo #RingFitAdventure

Day 4 of my 7 day challenge. I do the exercises from left to right as shown in the first screenshot. I've chosen the order to target specific groups and to give myself a bit of rest in between the major groups. It worked out well today! #Nintendo #RingFitAdventure

Day 3 of my self-imposed 7 day challenge. It's probably the last day of difficulty 19, and I'll focus mostly on upper body for the rest of the week. I'll keep a couple of core and flexibility exercises in there since I don't want to neglect my fundamentals. #Nintendo #RingFitAdventure

It's been a while since I've shared my Ring Fit workouts. I'm going to share the last two days and make an effort to do seven days in a row. My focus has been on flexibility and core this week. Monday I think I'll focus on upper body for a few days. #RingFitAdventure #Nintendo
