Man, thinking about it, I've played significantly less video games since I've taken the hiatus. Like, I already didn't necessarily reach out for a controller during my down time, but now it feels even less. Or work's just been eating up my free time :)

Whoever decided to play "The Webinar will start shortly, please remain on the line!" every 30 seconds when waiting on a meeting to start will feel my wrath, so help me

Sakurai Nintendo Direct #2 for Kirby Air Riders scheduled for Oct 23, 6 AM PT (60 minutes long) www.youtube.com/live/_ZHYjYH...

The nice thing about the Amazon Web Servers being down is I'm not being hammered by "WE THINK YOU'D LIKE THIS!!!" emails first thing on a Monday. Like shit man, I look up one Halloween light thing, and now it's like "Oh man, you're Mr. Spooky! Buy now! Buy now! BUY NOW!"

Man, I've never felt like a game journalist more than playing Fallout New Vegas for the first time. Like, I spent an hour on the tutorial quest trying to find a flower and a root, and I still haven't found them 😭 Like, I cleared out the school and the graveyard and found nothing lmao

Man, I'm all for supporting Local Card Shops, but HOO BOY, seeing a booster bundle go for $85 for Pokemon cards? Nahhhhh Like, think I'm learning super quick never to trust a spot that doesn't put sticker prices on lmao

It's autumn! 🍂 #MinorikoAki #秋穣子 #ShizuhaAki #秋静葉 #東方project #touhou

G'night gamers!

I have no mouth, but I ain't out of options

ALSO, daily reminder that YouTubers who post spoilers for games in their thumbnails deserve controller drift for all their future consoles.

Man, Pokemon ZA is going to make me download Pokemon GO again. I just love the idea of our lil dudes walking around with us.

In a few hours, I'm diving into the foggy clusterfuck, known as Silent Hills. I still don't know if Im here to save my kid or "for the vibes".

Though, speaking on that for a split sec - I think I've made a tiny goal in my streaming hiatus as far as the next big achievement: Building my own site. Like, yes, writing on Medium is fun, but it'd just be cool to have a all in one site where I can be like "Hey, I stream :) Here's my resume :)"

Man, if I gotta stay an extra hour at work essentially being support for when their PowerPoint doesn't work right, I'm absolutely going to write another Medium piece lmao

my god there has never been a more accurate use of this

I don't care how good of friends we are, everything gets thrown to the wayside when the UNO cards come out.

Thinking about rebuilding my old Instagram account - if only because I want to post a lot of pictures of my daily shenanigans lmao

Always forget that BlueSky can and will flash you with an unexpected penis on the Discover tab

Dude, Gravity Circuit is an absolutely amazing game. If you love the Mega Man games, especially something closer to the Zero or ZX games, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

After 10 years, Windows 10 has reached end of support. Don’t panic. Your Windows 10 computers will not explode. You will not catch every piece of malware in existence. You should enrol in ESU, or switch to Windows 11 or Linux, but this is not the end of the world. Our guide on what to do now:

I don't usually keep up with the Sonic Hacking Contest, but someone made a Mean Bean 2 demo and MAN... I wish Sega would do more classic sonic stuff with that kind of story telling. shc.zone/entries/cont...

for the past few weeks i've been seeing godlike Silver the Hedgehog concepts and artwork meanwhile i spent 2 months animating Silver doing this

Wrote my second piece on Medium today, "How to utilize side hustle skills to propel your career!" Definitely comes from a place of experience, but hoping it reminds a few folks that even from failed projects, you've learned. Here's the free link if you're interested! medium.com/@phantasmapl...

Dude, I miss being able to take a nap midway through the day when I was working fully remote. Days like today where I'm super low energy and could use a boost? Nap time.

If you love a manga you can only read through scanlations, buy a JP copy if you can! These stories live and die by sales, so if they're not selling, they're ending. Bookwalker and Kobo (currently) aren't region locked digital stores, so it's a relatively simple way to keep the stories running.

Shoot for the stars 🗣️: @voicesbyzane.bsky.social

Think I'm running out of "Damn, that's crazy"'s y'all

What do you mean they put Scooby Doo in Fortnite

Man, today was like the first day in a hot minute that we got to enjoy the Fall weather here. Got some flowers, shot some paintball, ate some good food - life's good man

Two well-known voice clips from Super Mario Sunshine are Mario saying "Aren't I done yet?!" and "There's more?!" in an exasperated way, long presumed unused. However, there is actually a way to hear them in-game, as they have a chance to play when he enters a level at low health.

Dude, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get home and SLEEP

Don't get me wrong, I loved Expedition 33, but no DLC in the world can fix that ending, man

Man, I love it when documentation isn't correct, and the only way you find out is because the support team wrote it in a chat board. Tee-hee~

I forgot that I had Sonic the Hedgehog fruit snacks at home until just now, and man, I'm now more excited than ever to get back lmao

Vampire Survivors Online Co-Op is Coming Soon | Announcement Trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTa_... -releasing this autumn -up to 3 other friends -next week's announcement - "we might finally answer a burning question that has been asked thousands of times"

This game is absolutely the cutest 3 hours of your life you'll ever spend. It's pure serotonin, especially if you love Guinea pigs!

Also, with that said :) I might need to take an official break from streaming for a short bit. I've definitely missed a good two weeks or so because of traveling and other shenanigans, and tonight I might miss out because of work; and it's like "Man, do I just take a breather to regroup???"

I'm learning more each day that I just need to just... have more conversations with people??? Like, I've had this self-inflicted fear when it comes to chatting people up, especially when it comes to making new friends in the area physically or the space online, that it'd implode. Usually never does.

ARTISTS! Let’s do an art share! There are now more than 39.3 MILLION Bluesky accounts! Let’s find each other! Spread the post to reach the most! 💙

Dude, thinking about it more, wasn't the Series S like the poster child for Xbox Game Pass? Like, I had an absolute blast with it mainly because I could still play nearly anything I wanted to and it wasn't stupid expensive. Ah well, sucks to suck, I guess lmao

I don't get it. Like, this screams "This will be great to get people to try a GamePass feature and then subscribe!" But then you jack up the prices of it??? Man, that's wild.

Went to see Marina in concert last night with the Fox Wife! Of the handful of concerts I've gone to, hers was really good! Definitely am a bit tired after dancing, and these two dudes next to me were stonewalling the entire time, but definitely would go again.

Dude, something just tastes better about morning coffee that someone left in the pot until the afternoon. Either that, or I'm damned beat and it's the only caffeine I've had all day. But, I'd like to go for the more positive option lmao
