Not a bad little handheld haul today. I really liked Crystalis for NES, but never even knew there was a Game Boy Color version. I'm excited to spend some time with these. #retrogaming #gameboy #gameboyadvance

Today's unexpected haul: the Double Dragon trilogy for Game Boy along with Mega Man II, plus Final Fantasy VI and Golden Sun: The Lost Age for GBA. The perfect mix of arcade action and RPG greatness for the handhelds. #retrogaming

My American pale ale is off to a great start. Here it is happily fermenting. It smells amazing already; the aroma of the hops is strong and irresistible.

I faced my best friend, 1v1, in Goldeneye today. He was one of my greatest competitors as a kid, and boy does he still have the skill. We stalemated. It was a great match. Complex, grenade launchers, of course. #goldeneye #n64 #retrogaming

Doing my first all-grain brew today, a pale ale that should come out a lot like a Sierra Nevada. Over 10lbs of grain will go into this. Lots more steps with an all-grain process, so wish me luck.

Got this mini Astro City as an impulse Prime Day deal. I'm super happy with it. It has a great collection of games built in, including Golden Axe, Shinobi, Columns, Bonanza Bros., and Alien Syndrome (among others!). Great little console all around. #retrogaming

Dominic seems a bit indignant that Carter has decided the comfiest place to be is literally ON his brother. #cats #catsofbluesky #petsky

Celebrating Independence Day in these times is like celebrating you and your ex's anniversary. It meant something once, but that feeling has soured and the date is basically irrelevant now.

Drop some DINOSAURS 🦖🦕🦖

I don't have anything set up specifically for her, but if anyone wants to help with Pixel's care, you can contribute through my Ko-fi. She needs some treats and toys and her tail amputation surgery was a big expense I didn't have planned. ♥ ko-fi.com/wobblerocket #cats #mutualaid

Found this mesmerizing glitter wine swirling around from Renegade Winery at TooManyGames 2025.

My TooManyGames console haul. After getting X3 last month, I couldn't pass up X2. And I love Mega Man Legends in all its forms, so that was a natural pickup. And I've heard great things about Gauntlet Legends, so I got it on a whim. #retrogaming

My TooManyGames handheld haul. Bubble Bobble for Game Gear is a fairly obscure port, but a great version.

I was very lucky to run into @9thlevelgames.bsky.social at Too Many Games and pick up some Kobolds Ate My Baby! books (I haven't played since before the Polymorph edition). Always love the artwork by the amazing @muskratjohn.bsky.social. I'm excited to play again and introduce some new folks to it!

So far, I'm having a pretty successful Too Many Games con. I have some nice finds that I'll be posting later.

Anybody else at TooManyGames today?

Fifi the Three-Legged Wonder Cat has found herself a nice paper bag to camp in. #cats #catsofbluesky #petsky

It's been a rough couple of days. Yesterday, my car caught fire while I was driving it. I am unhurt, but my car is totaled and now I'm suddenly in the market for a new one. This is not the best financial position to be in. I'm very stressed.

So I finally have power back after a full 48 hours without. I did read a couple books in that time, so it wasn't entirely a waste. But now I can finally get back to some retrogaming. For those interested, I read some Vonnegut and Pratchett, my two favorite authors.

Been playing some Perfect Dark recently. What a great spiritual successor to Goldeneye. Great plot, great gameplay...a true classic for the N64. #n64 #retrogames #retrogaming

Mega haul today! I picked up Pokemon Colosseum, Mega Man 7, Mega Man X3, a long with X-Men 2 and GTA2 for Game Boy. #retrogaming #retrogames #megaman

Terra Aspira is a go! Halfway through our early bird period: come check it out :D

Went out on my motorcycle today, almost got sideswiped by a moron who thought they'd just change lanes with no signal and without even looking. I had to hard brake and wound up about 6 inches from their wheel well. That's the closest I've come to getting hit on the bike. Still a little stressed out.

Went to an awesome used bookstore today and picked up some Vonnegut that was missing from my collection as well as some Star Trek novels.

Racked my orange hibiscus gose to the secondary fermenter today. It smells amazing and it's a lovely shade of red. Shaping up to be around 4.6-4.7% ABV. It's going to be a long two weeks waiting for this one to be ready. #homebrewing

It's finally done! My Bubble Bobble tattoo was completed today by Ivy at Art Machine Productions in Bensalem, PA. You can find more of her work at www.ivylovespugs.com I got this tattoo in honor of my late mom, who introduced me to gaming with this game and played it with me hours. #retrogaming

Yeah, this is what vacations are supposed to be like.

@optimstie.bsky.social Did I miss the community memorial for Joe Don Baker where we collectively tell him to "go ahead on"? I just saw the sad news. If that hasn't happened yet, well, it's your move.

It's not done yet (I go in for the rest of the color at the end of the month), but since it's Mother's Day and I got this in honor of my late mom, I wanted to share my new tattoo. We played Bubble Bobble for hours on end on the C64 when I was a kid. Missing you a lot today, mom.

I'm super excited for my tattoo session this afternoon. I'm getting a Bubble Bobble themed tattoo on my chest over my heart, in honor of my late mom who used to play it with me all the time when I was little. It's my earliest gaming memory, and one of the happiest memories I have.

Fifi and her three little arthritic legs walked all the way across the bedroom, up the ramp, and hopped onto the bed. That's a first for her, and she did it all by herself. She never ceases to amaze me with her strength and perseverance. #cats #catsofbluesky #petsky

It's Fifi's 16th birthday! We're spending lots of time with her today. She's a super special girl, so please wish her a happy birthday. #catsofbluesky #caturday #petsky

Enjoying my very first home brewed beer, a Kölsch. It's really tasty and I'm very happy with how it turned out. #homebrewing

Found an awesome FLGS in Philly called Runehammer Games. They were selling some really cool minis, and I picked up this bust of an aarakocra. I haven't painted anything in a really long time, and I'm hoping this kickstarts me back into the hobby. #minipainting

I've posted about my kitty scentventures a couple times now. If you're interested in doing one for your own cats, we got the kit from an Etsy shop called Meowy Janes. It's called the "Cat Scent Enrichment Kit" and it comes with a ton of different flowers/plants for your cat to enjoy. #catsofbluesky

Fifi is having a scentventure this morning. Her favorite by far is the silvervine leaves. #cats #catsofbluesky #petsky

So it begins. My heart goes out to the fun folks at Greater Than, who produced wonderful games like Sentinels of the Multiverse and more.

My Kölsch and Gose continue to ferment and condition. The Kölsch (on the left) will be ready to bottle on Wednesday. But for today, I'm about to brew a Berlinerweisse. #homebrewing

My little dust brothers, Carter and Sokka, as they await dinner. #cats #catsofbluesky #petsky

Fifi did so well with her morning balance physical therapy, and now she's having a relaxing afternoon on her orthopedic bed. She's the best girl I could ask for, and she's getting stronger every day. #cats #catsky #catsofbluesky #petsky

Please keep Mittens in your thoughts today. He's feeling a little under the weather, so I let him steal my chair for the day. Just monitoring him for now, but there may be a vet visit in our near future. #cats #catsky #catsofbluesky #petsky

I think Fifi is having a rough day today. Between the hyperthyroidism, diabetes, being nearly 16, and the arthritis, she deals with a lot. But I just sit with her and give her pets and listen to her purr. She's a perfect baby, and I love her so much. #catsofbluesky #catsky #petsky

Brewing up a gose this weekend. Got cracked coriander, lime peel, and sea salt for flavoring. It smells amazing and I'm really excited about this one. #homebrewing

Nobody that needs to hear this will, but: We already know that the ship is sinking. We don't need to be told the ship is sinking. We need you to grab a bucket and start bailing out water. That's the job you signed up for when you were voted in.

And that's a wrap! Nailed the original gravity, so now this will sit to ferment for 4-5 days, and then I'll move it to a secondary fermentation vessel after that, and then in a couple weeks, it will be bottling day! #homebrewing
