Nothing says “Fuck Monday” like checking the weather for a balmy 12* start to my day. 20* below freezing is too damn cold!

Nothing says like “Thanksgiving,” like getting stuck as free tech support for extended family.

Been playing Destiny Rising for the last week. Holy crap that game has got me by the short hairs. It is far better than it has any right to be.

Good thing Borderlands 4 is coming out next week to snap me out of it!

We just dropped The Boy off at middle school for the first time. So many mixed feelings, but ultimately so proud of the little man he’s becoming. 🥹

My favorite gaming choice in recent memory was naming my character “Fucker” in Pokemon Arceus. It’s legitimately the gift that keeps on giving. Chuckle after chuckle, it never gets old. 🤣

…and yes, I am 10 years old. #DontTellMyWife

It looks like I should be able to secure a Switch 2 tonight!! (Apparently the Best buy I’m at got 110 extra consoles, above the preorder allotment)

Makes me wish I had @pressthebuttons.bsky.social to talk to about all these shenanigans. 😢

Waiting in line to get my hands on the Switch 2 at midnight. Hopefully I have better luck than the PS5 launch! 😬

Playing Doom: The Dark Ages makes me feel like I’m orchestrating a bloody symphony of chaos and malice.

These are the kinds of games that make me miss writing, reviewing, and podcasting.

You ever have that moment, the one right before the walls start closing in, where you suddenly grasp just how immeasurably fucked you are?

Yeah… me neither. 😬

Random workplace observation: If you ever receive a slack message containing bulletpoints in it, you’re in for a long day.

Current Project: RetroDeck on my Steam Deck has completely changed the way I look at mobile emulation. It’s mind-boggling to be able to play literally every platform that has existed, up through PS3.

(Note: These are just the platforms I’m using. So many others are supported 😁)

I just unlocked a new achievement in Mercinaries 2 for 360. The last time I unlocked an achievement in this particular game?

2009 😳

I know I used to bitch about this on the podcast, but seriously, trying to keep Diablo IV updated on a Steamdeck is a fool’s task.

Every session I’ve played in the last year featured a hourlong, mandatory update preamble.

Yeah, it’s kinda the worst. 🤬

This weekend The Boy finally got to try Goldeneye on original N64 hardware. It was a religious experience for him. 🤣

It’s still boggling my mind that the Lions lost last night.

…so @tigers.bsky.social … when do Pitchers and Catchers report to Lakeland? #LongWaitBegins

Been going through the process of re-downloading all of my Xbox 360 and Games with Gold content to the console. Holy shit is this process unwieldy. It will legitimately take me weeks to download everything at this pace.

Looks like it’s high time to upgrade the Hard Drive on my old Xbox 360 Elite. Should be an interesting experiment…

Just finished up @jasonschreier.bsky.social’s new book, Play Nice.

It was an excellent read and did a fantastic job of encapsulating the entirity of Blizzard’s history in an approachable way.

Well worth your time to check out, especially if you’re a gaming industry history nerd like myself.

Had to find one of my shitty old routers, so I could get my PSP online. Damn these new security protocols, killing my old technology.

Thank the good lord I’m a technology packrat. #OldTechFTW
