I’m at an Alamo Drafthouse, you know my ass is getting a boozy shake.

Do I have the heart, stamina, and willpower to attempt to watch an episode of the Scrubs reboot? Even just to see if it’s like, half as good as my memories of the original run?

“Hey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling ‘Flamingo’ on Google?” “Don’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

Very strange week for me ahead where I’ve got some very fun things planned and happening off work hours, but actual work hours will be stressful as hell and a rush to finish a million things.

My guys!

We have just over a month until the start of a new fiscal year, and you put in place a new head that doesn’t have ties to these studios you’ve spent the last several years hoovering and buying up, and your letter is all about “fixing” the past “mistakes.” I’m expecting a bloodbath.

This is WILD. And sad.

Man, does Charli love to make a vinyl package that gives me anxiety.

This past weekend, I’ve relearned just how easily I fall victim to the addictiveness of rhythm games and I let their hooks into me despite telling myself I wouldn’t spend too much time with it this weekend.

i keep thinking about these tacos nobuo uematsu posted absolute spot-on representation of mexican food in japan

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution

if you’re seeing this it was meant to find you today

I’m not like him. I’ll never be like him. #ff7

Sounds like I made a smart call in starting Yakuza 3 Remastered this month and not waiting for/playing Kiwami 3.

Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokémon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

Mongolia and Haiti correctly identified that the Winter Olympics are primarily a chance to design baller cold weather uniforms

Just tap the response bar when you see the thumbnail you like most to get your juice reward

I'm really off-put when I catch a youtube video A/B testing thumbnails on me. There's something too close to the whole "I'm just a rat being experimented on/this person is doing whatever just to boost engagement numbers" part of the process that is yucky to me.

Finally finding a clip that’s puts to words something that felt weird to me about the game when I played it a while back but was struggling in how to put it is satisfying. I liked the game, but did weirdly think those bits felt…out of place or tact on or strange feeling.

Yakuza 3 Dad Kiryu running the orphanage is so adorable. It's exactly what I want right now.

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Hinge match asks for some music recommendations for some reason, I can’t help but send a frighteningly large wall of text. Classic me.

Meds that have made me feel like a normal human and not in pain the past ten days -> GREAT The same meds making every food taste bland or absolutely disgusting for the same length of time -> VERY NOT GREAT

According to Motoi Okamoto, Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, Shigeru Miyamoto would start midnight crunch sessions for the game's development by walking into the office and announcing "It's Mario time."

Making sweeping statements about society based on how good the DJ Earworm mashup of that particular year was

I am a sane person and sound in mind, but about twice a year I think about the possibility of a particular ex of mine somehow placing a hex on me of some sort for thinking she was done wrong by me that causes me very specific misfortune at the worst of times.

Last night I got my first real, "full" normal night of sleep in days which of course lead me to have such a dorky dream I remembered about being named an assistant coach of a pro OW team.

gaming is only books if the game has a defined ending and then you sit back and think about it

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

Last week when I said I was aiming to finish four games a month this year, I actually meant five. I’m aiming to finish five games a month now.

Finished Promise Mascot Agency tonight, and it’s everything I want and seek for in a game. What a fun experience.

We experienced a truly incredible moment at the aquarium when this octopus decided to be a total jerk to its tankmate.

Better late than never(?) My annual video on my favorite games of last year (2025) is now up to watch. Trust me, there is a non-zero chance you want to listen to my droning voice talk about Things. youtu.be/ZaYDhYxbDRc?...

I'm the only one on my team at work due to time off and sickness and I have to do everything and it's a lot and Idon't want to euuuggggghhhh

this is genuinely incredible

I don’t know the date on this one because Instagram took it down.

If I make it to ten years streaming, I’ll make a video ranking all games I’ve played over those years from one to whatever.

Having “emergency” dental/tooth work done this afternoon. My start to 2026 has personally not been kind to me.

Controversial take but I agree that if you have even center left politics you should be barefoot wearing a barrel with suspenders. You should have a wallet with a single moth and nothing else in it. You should be slicing up a single bean paper thin and eating it slowly on a trash can lid

Gonna need people to hype me up more in 2026. Like, just in general.
