Five years.... probably close to 7,000 hours of playing ACNH... and today was the first time I realized I could "investigate" a lost item for a hint as to which villager it might belong to =_=;;

Convenience store still exists though - prob will until the update in January (I literally want to walk in through those "doors", probably partially because it's next to Nook's Cranny 😅)

Goodbye mansion, I lived in you for a few days before dismantling you lol

Legit don't understand why people are deleting and re-starting their islands in ACNH when the update is in January - that gives them only two months to completely rebuild their inventories if they want to do cool stuff on their slumber islands and in the hotel! Mind boggling!

today is my day of setting others up for success - so far this morning I've been the 68th viewer of a video and the 68th like on a Bluesky post >_<;;

I am discovering that "New Game Plus but story stuff has changed" is one of my favourite things a game can pull on me.

Other writers won’t tell you this…

Oh my God PLEASE check what your kids are bringing home tonight. Just found a Crash Bandicoot nitro crate in my son's chocolate bar

Happy Halloweem Everybody!!

Rainy day thought. #poetry

Happy Hallowweek!

Happy Spooky Month! (I had a migraine yesterday so I'm posting this today)

Finally. October. The 8th month. We can finally begin the festival of the octopus. (This joke brought to you by the Etymology and Cephalopod Awareness Council of Ohio)

everybody loves playing old games till they play one where the right stick doesn’t control the camera

I have a proposition for John Nintendo

Ah, yes, it's that time of year again: going to bed sweating and waking up shivering >_< I mean, better than waking up still sweating, but

The most haunted house is still less creepy than the least haunted cornfield.

Now that Bluesky has bookmarks, you can now bookmark that they used to call me The Drift King back in college. Share to change a life

But she's so happy

I am being bullied by a small orange cat

It's like they're not even thinking of us Japanese psychological horror fans who are also big fans of anthropomorphic animals in go karts

I think the key point in "failure" involves falling short of a prescribed goal. Play is simultaneously the goal and the outcome. I think taking failure off the table is what defines playful activity, freeing us from success vs failure dichotomous thinking.

Creativity is nourished by play. If it’s possible to fail doing it, then it doesn’t count as play.

wait a minute

Just ate a frozen "uncrustables" pb&j sandwich without waiting for it to thaw and I'm once again disappointed that real life doesn't have pop-up videogame style achievements.

New video~ youtu.be/KbE6kVEDm5o?...

Fifth in the World for Mario Kart no-rewinds THEY USED TO CALL ME THE DRIFT KING BACK IN COLLEGE, LET'S FUCKING GOOOO and thank you @shenpai.gay for being my shensei

Our night blooming cereus is blooming tonight. Rare occurrence.

I can always tell when a YouTuber making a let's play hasn't worked retail or food service irl because they start doing the job *before* clocking in 😬

i just opened the case for LittleBigPlanet 3, and copies of Dark Souls 2 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 flew out... no LBP 3 disc...

Teach meaning-making as an empowering skill rather than the search for meaning as a haunting imperative.

Butterfly wings and grizzly bear jaws are both successful pathways to survival. There is no single, best way to thrive.

I got up two hours ago and was absolutely certain it was Sunday and was thinking ruefully about how we had to go to the store and tomorrow was Monday... and I *just* realized it's actually Saturday. I feel much better now 😅 Sleep deprivation really made yesterday evening feel like two days lol

My brain has decided I'm randomly going to get the opening to Yuu Yuu Hakusho stuck in my head and I'm resolutely not thinking about how long ago that came out >.>

Getting up at 5am when the temperature outside is cool and the ACNH music is the best track and the cat settles next to me on the loveseat... is really nice Having no choice but to get up at 5am every single morning during summer to let the cool air in because not doing so is unbearable... SUCKS =/

Finally, a new video! It's not much but it's more than I've done in ages lol youtu.be/Cv2PhgDE_CU?...

Me: *walks into villager house to get a new recipe* Mitzi: "Ah! You already know how to make a cutting board?!" Me: ...... Me: "Mitzi, that was your first request when I used your amiibo card at the campsite..."

I couldn't feed myself or my family with my little gardens. But at least once a day, I catch myself standing at the back window smiling out on my patches of tended earth, green and growing. It's a reminder that not all nourishment is physical.

I want someone to write a rap song that doesnt rhyme unless you pronunce the words wrong. Foresight > Yosemite Hyperbole > super bowl Teapot > depot etc

Just finished rereading Dracula and rewatching the Coppola film (as research for the next video *wink, wink*), and I can’t imagine anyone BUT Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker. It’s such a great bad performance. I love it so much.

The benefit of doing some morning gardening before I sit down to write is that every time I rest my chin on my fist I notice my hand smells like tomato plants standing in the sunshine.

mfw I am hand feeding the rare albino wallaby

Sorry I missed your message. I was hand feeding the rare albino wallaby, who I know personally.

Needing to turn up almost every video I watch lately into "dangerous" territories and I'm honestly uncertain whether it's bc the channels are too quiet (one of them I'm sure was), the fans and AC are making too much noise, or my earbuds are dying from excessive use.... Probably all three tbh =_=;;

Working on completing my Nook achievements on my OG island and by far my least favorite is Snowmaestro... I've made 6 or 7 perfect snowboys in a row so I have it down but it's still a pain and I'm always stressed I'll mess it up, even though it legit doesn't matter =_=

Thank you Nintendo for Mario Kart World

oh my god... tony todd in an episode of murder, she wrote

Good Hualian night! Well, it is now, with this adorable new official art of our Hualian as such cute lil guys!

A ruby-throated hummingbird just visited my office window. How am I supposed to concentrate on anything in a world so ridiculously full of magic?
