Fighting tears in a team meeting as it's the last team meeting with @ryfichannel.bsky.social. He's been a part of my work life since 2004, when we were at Kombo together. I can't imagine coming in to the office next week without him being right there. Going to miss him terribly. 😭😭😭

With the announcement of Halo: Campaign Evolved, my eldest son said, hey we should play that together. My beloved son, I can only play the Library level so many times. In fact, I've played it twice, the second time thinking, surely it's not so bad. IT IS. Pass.

So as I'm looking in my Switch backlog to see what I should play before buying anything new, should I play Collar x Malice or Variable Barricade? #otome

So I finally played Cafe Enchante, an #otome I've had in my library for a while. This is honestly the first otome I've ever played where I liked NONE of the routes. None of them had a *real* happy ending. So disappointed after all the hype.

I had a student come to my yoga class this morning that I haven't seen since COVID. I joked that she was there just for me, but she said not only was she there for me, but she had been trying to find me for a couple of years. Completely made my day. 🥰🥰🥰

Currently playing Gakuen Club, because I bought it years ago and I'm trying to go through my backlog before I buy new stuff. As much as I was annoyed that this otome has set routes at the beginning, darn it if I don't get suckered into each one of these stories. Dangit.

It's been a looong time since I've played any otome games, but I've gotten back into it thanks to the Switch 2. I've been replaying some, playing the second seasons of some, and I've started a couple I bought and never started. Hoo boy the differences are so stark. Almost wish I was back in writing.

After I finished Paper Mario: Origami King over the weekend, my first thought was to text @pressthebuttons.bsky.social and tell him I beat my very first Mario game so he could mock me and we'd laugh together. And then I remembered I no longer could do so and got very, very sad. 😭

Just finished Paper Mario: Origami King. What a really fun and surprisingly emotional game! Also, I didn't know I needed a cranky Bowser team-up with Mario until now. I give it two folded thumbs up.

Why is it the dogs only need to go outside when I'm in the middle of a boss fight?

After 614 days, I used my first Streak Freeze in Duolingo. Maybe I can make it another 614 days.

Yesterday I lost power for a few hours due to bad thunderstorms, so I decided to use the time to clean up and clean out my office. I finally tossed my DDR pad for the PS2.

Wooooo free cold foam at #Starbucks today! 😋

Never been happier to be OUT of the gaming industry. aftermath.site/gamurs-escap...

After playing #Avowed, it inspired me to hop back into #PillarsofEternity. @obsidianent.bsky.social really went all in with building this incredible world. Really enjoying my time, even though I wish I had picked back up my original PC version instead of playing on console.

Friend shared this and I'm pretty sure this is the best thing I'll see all day.

I have a work trip coming up in a few weeks. It dawned on me that the last work trip I went on was to LA in 2019 for the Mortal Kombat 11 event. I somehow doubt this one will be as entertaining.

I love my comics crew. I did not have "learning that Skrulls are the gateway to alien sex" on my Bingo card for today.

While walking back from jury duty (wasn't picked!), I saw these historical markers and learned a bit more dark history about Dallas. NGL, got a little teary from reading these. www.instagram.com/share/p/BAFL...

Over the weekend, my eldest was watching something on YouTube, and the video referenced @jeffgrubb.bsky.social. I said oh hey, it's Grubbles! My son turned to me and said, "YOU KNOW JEFF GRUBB?" Oh my son, I used to edit his stuff back when he was briefly a nobody. 😆

As a kid, I HATED the sound of the Sixty Minutes opening ticking clock. It meant boring adult stuff incoming and time to start the bedtime routine on a school night. To this day, I hear that ticking stopwatch and I can't find the remote fast enough to change the channel.

@piratesyar.bsky.social Hey dork, follow me. I have some news I really need to share.

You hear about the cross-eyed teacher who was fired? She couldn't control her pupils.

When people start a blog post with "in today's [insert something about fast-paced or rapidly evolving here] landscape," I die a little inside. At this rate, I'll be dead by the end of 2025.

I was super excited for the Diablo IV expansion, but after completing the expansion campaign over the weekend, I was very disappointed. The story didn't really end, and the end-game stuff is really boring to play solo. Sadness. 😞

"There's no way you can tell if a blog post is written with AI." Me: "I can tell in the first sentence." "Whatever. No you can't." <Turns in blog post> "In the fast-paced world of business..." Me:

I've been dragged into a true corporate team, and after being part of it for nearly a month, I have to ask... How the fuck do people get anything done when they're in meetings all the time?

Couldn't help myself 🤣🤣🤣

Oh dang... Going 3D is not in Phoenix Wright's favor. So bad in #DualDestinies. 😬

I've given up Starbucks for Lent. I need you all to pray for me during this difficult trial, where it truly will be akin to Jesus wandering the desert for 40 days without food.

I have always, since even middle school, wanted to learn a lot of languages. German. Russian. Italian. Greek. Norwegian. Swedish. Finnish. Gaelic. Welsh. Obviously I was very limited in what I could learn in school, but duolingo is making it all possible. 12-year-old me is so happy.

Curse you, @bioware.bsky.social Gear Store! Do you know how awesome these would look in my office bathroom?

Watching the FNAF movie with the kiddos. Can't believe this is actually a thing. This is Halloween in my mid-40s.

I've been convinced to invest in Baldur's Gate 3 AND Starfield is available on Games Pass. Goodbye, all my friends...

Know what I hate about elementary school projects? They end up being MY school project.

Podcast asked what we think of when we think of 2012. The narrator mentioned the Mars Curiosity rover and the predicted end of the world. First thing that came to my mind was #MassEffect3 release. Natch.

Heyyyyy I'm here now, so, uh, what's up?
