🎃Spoopy Season is upon us so get ready to save some dates!🎃 #ExtraLife Chicago has a stacked schedule for October so get ready, you gamin' ghouls!

So random thing to check out if you ever bought a physical CD through Amazon. I'd bought a couple and years later Amazon added them digitally to Amazon Music in my library of purchased music. Included a picture of the Scrubs soundtrack I bought used on the site that got added.

So when I saw this figure was coming, I had to get it. I’ve shared it over the years but part of aerodash84 came because of this character. I had the game, book and soundtrack.

Hey friends! I haven't had a lot of free time this year to fundraise for @extralife4kids.bsky.social but want to thank you all for your support this year and every year. I would love to do more but it's been busy and I've been focused more on doing our Guild work. 1/?

We did an architectural boat tour over the weekend. Learned some things I didn’t know, remembered things I’d learned before and go to share random info with loved ones. But the thing it reminded me of is Chicago is the greatest city.

We have family with us this weekend. Spent today in Chinatown trying different foods and drinks on a beautiful day. Also got a bunch of baked goods to go. Now to digest before musical bingo at a Coffee and Wine Bar. Highly recommend getting out with loved ones when you can.

Hey friends! It's been awhile but gonna try a new game on stream today. Was inspired by a friend's stream to play some Surviving Mars before going all in on the new edition. Come hang out around 1pm CT as we raise funds for @extralife4kids.bsky.social at www.twitch.tv/aerodash84

Hey did you know you could report videos for things like criminal activities on TikTok? Hopefully that lowers the videos from the verified White House account that come across my timeline.

Trying to read Dungeon Crawler Carl. Link isn’t Princess Donut but I appreciate he wants to cuddle with me.

Excited for seeing 20 Sided Tavern at the end of the month! Just got tickets and can’t wait.

Just got home from seeing Jaws in theaters. Probably all time favorite movie and I think only saw one other time in theaters. If there’s a movie you love on a big screen, go see it and be happy for a few hours. Also wore my new Jaws shirt from GF and so many others there had Jaws shirts too.

Finally watched Superman and I really liked it. Fun story. I think the kinda Superman we need these days. I may have teared up a few times too. Gonna catch up on Thunderbolts tomorrow.

It’s Saturday 📺 Post a cartoon TV series you love

Been making more of an effort when I listen to music to listen to full albums with no shuffle. Here’s some of what I’ve listened to lately: Offspring-Americana Evanescence-Fallen Eminem-The Slim Shady LP Taylor Swift-Fearless Weird Al-Mandatory Fun

Got a pretty good deal on this collection.

Some people said it was stupid I had BluRays or still bought them. Well we may not have reliable internet till Saturday and I have a binder of shows and movies. Guess it wasn’t so stupid after all 😊

Some of the things I got over the weekend. I think I got the ultimate Game Gear game as I don’t remember any other movie that featured it so much.

We had a great time at 2D Con. Love the small con feel with a lot going on. GF won a pinball tournament playing Hook and got a badge for next year. So we’ll be back. Will try to post photos but yeah we had a great weekend in MN.

Yesterday was pretty crazy with traveling and delays. But we made it to Minneapolis and had dinner with friends in the area. Crashed hard when we got back to the hotel so gonna make the most of today at 2DCon.

Not sure if I’ve shared their names since they’ve officially joined our family. Planned to keep 2 but now they’re all at the furever home. Tabbies are Dante and Lady. Voids are Link and Penelope aka Penny aka Purrnelope Meowcia cause we’ve been hooked on Criminal Minds.

Had to say thanks @jeffcannata.bsky.social for talking about Righteous Gemstones. Started watching it with my GF slowly over time, but we really enjoyed it (even if it was crazy at times) and just finished it tonight. The finale had us both crying a bit.

Been saving up for a vacation for a bit that didn't happen so used some of that money and paid off one of my Student Loans. Have 4 left, but glad to have that taken care of. Gonna take that victory.

Unfortunately I’m still in a lot of pain so probably no stream today. Hope you all have a good weekend. What are you all up to? Any fun games, movies, books or anything else you’re looking forward to?

Don’t know if it’s just me but are most of the streaming apps absolute terrible with sound levels. I feel like on TV or PS5 most I have to crank the volume up and turn on captions. Nearly blew out my ear drums playing Dropout and not adjusting prior.

Hi friends! Hope you're all doing well. Been super busy on top of having a back injury. Hoping to be back streaming Saturday if I feel well enough. What is going on with you all? What's something you've been enjoying lately or looking forward to?

Watched a Goofy Movie for the first time in probably decades. Movie hits so much differently as an adult and a parent. I got teary eyed at points.

I haven't had time to stream in a bit, but I'm still fundraising for @extralife4kids.bsky.social this year. I'm hoping to reach $400 by the end of the month. Any dollar amount makes a difference in supporting kids with their treatment and care www.extra-life.org/participants...

I have a few books still available for donations to @extralife4kids.bsky.social. Mix of genres available and I liked each one a lot. I've been reading fast through the series that started with Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Donate here and you can start it too www.extra-life.org/participants...

Not sure how my Netflix started back up again. Assuming someone clicked the wrong button to start it back up. But I guess since it’s active again I’ll catch up on Jurassic World Chaos Theory. These shows are much better than I expected.

I’d say I’ve probably saved $80 between physical and digital books from the library this year. Maybe closer to $150 if you include movies too. Highly recommend getting Libby, Hoppla, Kanopy and a library card.

Just finished up another book Record of a Spaceborn few. Love this sci-fi series by Becky Chambers that has a good world development but feels more character focused than anything. Just started up the newest Hunger Games from the library on my Kindle. Glad this thing still works after like 13 years.

Hope you’re all having a good week. It’s been a lot of non-stop work and errands. What are you all looking forward to? I’m gonna try to finally watch Anatomy of a Murder after 20 years of visiting the real location & set. Tomorrow I got my teens D&D session. And more things to catch up on.

Out of state for the day. Our hotel is right next to an Arby’s. Do I regret the beef n cheddar I ate an hour ago? Maybe as I should be sleeping. Was it delicious? Yes, every damn bite. I never went to the one by me and it closed. But traveling that stuff gets me though.

Friends! We have a trip this year for St. Louis and looking for recommendations of cool things to check out especially nerdy. Great places to eat too. Gonna be staying near Busch Stadium so close that would be even greater.

So got my 2nd Teen D&D program coming up. Been struggling to find an adventure from what they asked me last time. Something like the maze in the movie. So instead I’m gonna try to make a gauntlet of traps, puzzles and monsters. And an unseen villain that’s basically Arcade from X-Men 😊

If you see this, quote post with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, or Transformers

I feel like doing a chill @swtor.com stream for @extralife4kids.bsky.social today. So come on out around 12:30pm for a bit. Looking at continuing the story with my main character. www.twitch.tv/aerodash84

My plans for my #100daysofgaming is finally confirmed!

I know I keep talking about libraries but just something to think about is how much money you could save. I’ve gotten around $40 in books with just 2 books. Then 1 movie also another $20 if I bought new when it came out.

I need someone in NYC (preferably Brooklyn) to foster this extremely friendly little shit so we can get him fixed and adopted.

Hey friends! Got my first donation for one of my favorite reads recently. I still have some more wonderful books in my collection I'd love to share. Just asking for a donation to @extralife4kids.bsky.social and I'll go through more and add them later. www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fu...

Stick a fork in us cuz we're done! Another #ExtraLife Chicago Virtual Pride has ended and we couldn't be more proud of all of our streamers, mods, and viewers! Thank you! Now go to bed!

Come join our wonderful streamers today! Please also spread the word if this comes across your feed. We'd love to have more join us today.

New game arrived today. Excited to try this out after Baldur’s Gate.

Continuing our week of spotlights leading up to #ExtraLife Chicago Virtual Pride, we have JudgeJLo! No stranger to our annual Pride stream, they're back this year to kick off Virtual Pride in style!

Yesterday was a long day for me but got to do 2 really cool things. Started with my first time running D&D for teenagers at a new library. So much energy and really had to think on my feet. Then we ended the night at Wonderverse to support @extralife4kids.bsky.social that @bobafterdark.com put on.

50 years ago a movie came out that impacted years after that. And I don’t even remember how I saw it but that movie was Jaws. I remember watching it and falling in love with sharks. I wanted to study them and even swim with them. Still feel that way. So wanted to show my appreciation for a classic.

I'd like to repost this while saying this PC will be for charity, and will be donated to @extralifechicago.bsky.social to be raffled off at Anime Magic Chicago in August. ko-fi.com/gally1763#ga...

Gonna go live for awhile at 1pm CT to play some Jurassic World Evolution 2. It's been awhile since I've played but I'm getting ready for a new Jurassic movie this year. Come hang out while we raise money for @extralife4kids.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/aerodash84
