Pokémon Cafe anyone?

The best part about this game? If you hit a picture it moves, the record player plays a song, and you won’t get yelled at by a parent for playing baseball in the house! I may play this again when I return to the Nintendo Museum.

It’s probably my vacation brain making me forget who on @gamersweekpc.bsky.social HATES the N65 controller so whomever that is… don’t look at these photos. Everyone else, check it out, my fiancée and I beat Bowser on a giant N64 controller!

HELP! I got trapped in a Game & Watch and I can’t get out!

So I got to go here today…

My favorite Pokémon with an adorable plushie you can only get in Kyoto.

Did I mention that I REALLY like Gundam?

Of course my first crane game win on this Japan trip is a Gundam statue.

Last year I wasn’t able to take a photo on the rooftop of Nintendo Kyoto due to rain. Thankfully I got to fix that today.

When my fiancée and I found out that THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!

DJ Pikachu dropping some sick beats at Universal Japan.

I’ve had this campaign idea for a while and it finally came into fruition! It’s the first time I’ve ever GM’ed so if you could give it a listen I’d appreciate it!

Today marks the start of our newest interstitial #mini-campaign, GMed by @benmagnet27.bsky.social! Listen to part 1 of our trek through the #DarkSouls #TTRPG as we blend Firmsoft and Fairy Tales. #actualplay #podcast #dnd5e #newepisode

It’s day one and money was spent.

I saw Air Force One take off from Haneda. I really don’t like the person on that plane.

Meet my little travel buddy!

Did I buy airline WiFi to watch baseball? Yes. Did it work? No… BUT I CAN LISTEN TO THE GAME! Bless be ESPN radio for free on the ESPN app.

Traveling to Japan today and this is the fit. #Dodgers are they playing and there’s a chance I can watch the game on the plane!

All packed up and ready to fly tomorrow!

All packed up!

Only the 2nd inning and the Dodgers have my blood pressure rising.

Hot DAMM this is cool! Now to build the stand and the other cartridge.

The D-Pad is in and the way they have it move is quite ingenious if you ask me.

Making progress for the LEGO Game Boy!

Oh sweet a new episode from @retroblast.bsky.social is up… (An hour and a half later) WHY YOU GOTTA MAKE ME FEEL THINGS LIKE PAT!?!?

To all my Bluesky followers! I am warning y’all now. Next week, for 2 1/2 weeks, I will be posting SO MUCH Japan stuff so prepare now. This includes pickups/merch, locations, theme parks, and general fun stuff. Maybe some baseball because Dodgers are in the World Series.

Can’t wait to be here in 1 week.

This is how happy I was that the Dodgers are going back to the World Series. Starting my car Suki who has no idea what is going on.

My work had a little Pokemon TCG tournament today. Not a huge turnout but I did tie for 2nd place and I got a really nice hoodie.

2 weeks from now I’ll be in Osaka. Gah I can’t wait.

Emotional support kitty for baseball tonight. Go Dodgers.

2 Mondays left (today and next Monday) until I go back to Japan.

I’m DMing a campaign that’s been in my brain recently and I’m starting to understand why people love being DMs. It’s super fun to plan but oh SO satisfying when stuff goes certain ways and my players go crazy. You can listen to the madness on the 29th. @dndarkpodcast.bsky.social

When the weather gets colder, it’s time for Hot Pot.

Pros of getting a new phone: Longer battery, better camera, more power, etc. Cons: trying to remember all your passwords to log into your apps again. Getting new peripherals (like a controller) because it’s a different size/charging port.

Dodgers got THIS close to blowing it, but saved it in the end (In Sasaki we trust). Now to relax with a JRPG because Japan in 21 days!!!!

Am I a fan of Mondays? Not particularly, but at least I can watch baseball when I get home from work and there’s 21 days left until I leave for Japan.

And I just beat Hollow Knight! @wrytersview.bsky.social can you tell me what the heck I did when I beat the Radiance?

It’s spooky month. Hell yeah.

Dodgers won, I won a trivia night while watching the game, it was a good night.

I have access to the final Boss in Hollow Knight but the side stuff is so much fun that I want to do those before I fight the last boss. Also, hot damn the White Palace was hard.

Hollow Knight has completely taken over my house. I come home to my fiancée playing it and she comes home to me playing it. We’re having a blast telling each other what we did and where we are in the game.

Damn, I’ve changed. Work told us that starting Monday we have mandatory OT for 1 hour and I’m not upset at that. At the old job I would’ve been irate but now it doesn’t bother me as I’ve been (trying) to come in for optional OT. I’ll just need to get to bed sooner. I can do that.

In other news, I’m going to the Nintendo Museum! My fiancée and I got stupid lucky and were able to buy tickets for one of the days we’ll be in Kyoto!

(Sees news stories from today and last night)… Well, I’m going to disassociate for a while.

Happy 30 years in North America #PlayStation! I’m going to play some games while my cat sits back and watches. Also I’ll be pausing a lot to give her pets and/or belly rubs.

Why yes I’m using the excuse of me going to grocery store after work as my productive task of the day so I can play #HollowKnight guilt free for hours on end.

Well, if I can’t watch the #Raiders play, guess I’ll play #HollowKnight. Holy crap this game is amazing.

My fiancée heard about #Silksong, asked if I have Hollow Knight (I do on the PS5) and now she started playing it. I will be starting my file later today. Hope we’re making you proud @wrytersview.bsky.social and @gamersweekpc.bsky.social!

Watching @tdrexplorer.bsky.social Pokémon Halloween USJ video from last year and dang do I hope they bring back the DJ Pikachu and Gengar plushies when my fiancée and I visit this October.
