My wife says I look like I stole the cloths off of a Target mannequin. It’s a compliment.

Hot cocoa time!

Picked up my car which has been in the shop for three weeks. Put gas in it and then immediately drove it back to the shop since the check engine light came on 😐

It’s crazy that we are in the middle of December, it’s over 50°f, and we have zero snow. I miss the days when we had a blizzard from November to March.

Looks like Hogwarts Legacy is free on Epic Games. That’s nice. I’m still not playing it. I usually try to add all free games to my account just to ‘own’, but you can keep that one. SKIP.

The graphics update for Guild Wars is nice. It was also nice to see people returning and having more than one district active.

This is my therapy. This is the only time I am free from the stress of life and fully happy. Thank you my love @liminaljane.bsky.social 💚 for being in all my timelines. We are our own Life Is Strange universe couple. 🦋

I didn't realize until recently that the original Game Boy came out in 1989 and wasn't succeeded by the Game Boy Color until goddamn 1998. That's roughly nine years of black and white portable gaming being the de facto standard! And I thought the 3DS lasted too long.

I made a video about boomer-age men having the emotional range of a toddler and needing to do better instead of displacing their anger to intimidate me, and SURPRISE I’ve offended more BoomerMen trying to mansplain that I’m “entitled” for not wanting my door at work slammed by an adult. 😂

Did you know that spark plugs can liquify onto your coils? Because I didn’t until I had my car towed to the service station.

The face and make when I’m over stimulated and someone won’t stop babbling at me.

It was easy as simply calling them. All that self-hate for nothing. I knew it would be, but come on brain. Play nicer :p

I’m upset at myself because I transferred the wrong plates to my new car. I meant to transfer the salvaged cars plates but did my current cars plates - so now I have to go fix that tomorrow. It’s a simple mistake but my brain isn’t being nice. Why is my brain like this?

Sitting in the living room talking with our thirteen year old about information warfare, technology versus military defense budgets, and universal basic income/healthcare. He’s like “eat the rich”. We’re raising good kids.

Time to read. I’m very thankful my girlfriend @liminaljane.bsky.social has let me appropriate and decorate her Kindle. It has helped me finish so many books this year because I’m not being distracted by different apps. Artwork is by AutumnSacura featuring Juniper from @fieldsofmistria.bsky.social

Let me tell you the joys of living next to the railroad tracks at night while you’re trying to sleep…

Isn’t it amazing that there are so many people who understand the intricacies and nuances of the world? How neurons fire, how matter forms, how chemical elements interact, how PCs work, bluetooth and radio signals, color theory — really any subject. Someone out there understands it.

What no spam phone calls on a ‘holiday’ telling me my loan has been approved?

Email: HEY HEY HEY! Look that thing you really wanted is on sale for a great discount because Black Friday! Unless it’s free quit emailing me because no amount of discount is going to work until I win the lotto. Email: okay 😞 but here’s 30 more emails about our sales.

Me: I don’t wanna look like a hob goblin. Also me: puts on the biggest baggist cozy item I own to be a hot goblin.

I’m going to find some comfy chic pjs, because by the time I get home I just wanna be in comfy clothes. But I don’t want to look like a hob goblin either, I’d rather look like a hot goblin.

Besides portability and placement what is the real difference between a heated blanket and a heated mattress pad?

Memory, emotions, and childhood wounds oh Mai. #internalizedfamilysytem #ifs #shadowwork

Today was a hard day, but I made it through. I was able to project confidence and power even though I felt I was shaking the whole time. Thank you universe.

“I don’t view myself as trans anymore” “Then why are you so loud about it” “Because someone out there is scared and needs to hear it”

So I got the key to the basement, did a little bit after that, but now I can't make myself continue playing the game to discover all the intricate secrets and finish the story since resetting that day. #BluePrince is not for the weak.

About to start a Fight Club, but I really don’t want to be punched in the face. The mood is real though.

We missed the Northern Lights last night, but were able to catch them tonight. It’s crazy that we can’t really see these colors with our eyes but that our phone captured them. The stars and their beauty are one of the reasons I prefer the night.

Brie Larson!?!?!?! AS ROSALINA?!?!?! *dies*

I’m not the best artist, but I can make something adorable.

This book has been a refreshing read in my collection. It is the first book I've ever read that is written as a nonbinary character and one who struggles with bipolar disorder. It's been a perfectly relatable story. I adore the diversity.

I want to know what game Hiro Nakamura is playing in the show Heros. He’s holding a Nintendo Gameboy.

I’m sad to report that the best Doritos flavor is over $7 at my local grocery store. Would you like to know how much a box of Cheerios is? I’m not talking honey but (more expensive) but the cardboard flavor… over $7 as well. #inflation #merica

Made some delicious broccoli cheese soup. Don’t ask me how or to make it again because I literally just threw it all together chaotically.

An overview of the status of women in the video game industry in Japan and in Japanese society more generally (+ a focus on the career of Miki Morimoto, the second known woman to have directed a game at Sega) vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama6 dispo en VF vgdensetsu.net/riekokodamavf6

My head. It’s a scary and confusing place. One that is hard for even me to understand. So how to describe it to someone who asks about it? What is your mind like? #comic #mentalhealth #relatable #wolfart #darkart #horrorart #comicstrip #deepthoughts

I'm a little sad that not only have we not received a grumpy face Zelda amiibo for Echoes of Wisdom, but this keychain and cooler bag would have been awesome to have as well. #gaming

Oh yes Juniper I can imagine that just fine. 💚 #FieldsOfMistria #gaming

We’ve only had one trick or treater in the twelve years we’ve lived here, but we always make sure to leave out candy - and for the last few years - #pokemon cards for #Halloween.

Engagement on this platform is difficult. It’s so disheartening. It feels that unless you already had an established community and friends that you’re just kinda screaming into the void. The sound of silence.

I completely forgot about this #amiibo pin I won when r/amiibo was first established on Reddit. The amiibo hunt those days was super real. Anyone remember AmiiboJason? Not sure if @amiiboalerts.bsky.social is associated, but the community for legit collectors was awesome back then. #Nintendo

So this exciting! I’m glad they are finally giving it some QOL updates.

Turns out you can do whatever you want if no one stops you

RELEASE THE KRAKAN! 🦑 Added some last minute on sale decorations to our house. #LifeIsStrange #Halloween 🎃

For my birthday today (37) I’m making my kids and wife play Super Smash Bros Ultimate on Switch with me.

I want to live in a place where the leaves turn to this beautiful color during the fall. It was the most breathtaking view on vacation. 🍁

I do question her bed being right in the middle of her room. #FieldsOfMistria
