CM Punk forever.

About to become a Couch Goblin and snug with my dog and play Pragmata until date night tonight and lemme tell ya that's a good Friday.

Interviewing @ayshaufarah.bsky.social about Dragon Age 2 was such a delight, and she was able to put into words something I couldn't articulate after getting the platinum in DA: Veilguard. "There's no weird sex pervert in that game." IT'S TRUE. Taash was the closest we came, but no dice.

Mandolorian & Grogu tickets ACQUIRED. Would it kill movie theatres to have more open caption showings? Even in Chicago there's only like 4 on opening weekend across *all* of our theatres.

When you're struggling in a boss fight and the game suggests lowering the difficulty

We must Blue Shell the rich.

I’m not gonna watch that Street Fighter trailer again. I loved what I saw and I am just gonna plug my ears, cover my eyes, and try to be optimistic.

Reposting this for the Dragon Age sickos. Thing is, Aysha *IS* right here. Veilguard had some freaks but they weren't nearly as freaky as DA:O/2/Inquisition's cast. Zevran would make everyone in Veilguard blush.

Simply wild to see this headline. I never thought we'd be here.

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

if you want to be bullied mercilessly, here's the the accessory to do it

They’re calling @ayshaufarah.bsky.social the podcast woman she’s going on hella podcasts. Don’t miss her appearance on Last Save Lounge!

Finishing Perfect Tides: Station To Station in an auto shop while my car gets worked on is the sort of thematic whiplash I live for.

On this week's Last Save Lounge, @ayshaufarah.bsky.social and I discuss Dragon Age 2, messy romances, and why other modern RPGs don't stack up to BioWare's 2011 masterpiece. Available on all your favorite podcatchers and -- SPOTIFY: bit.ly/LastSaveLoun... -- APPLE PODCASTS: bit.ly/LastSaveLoun...

Remember Towerfall? Damn. What a time.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Spending the morning the way Alanis Morissette intended: making coffee while my wife and daughter play with toys, with “Head Over Feet” on the Yoto.

Perfect Tides: Station To Station is just a real gem. Boy howdy make more games like that won’tcha?

The best thing I ever did with video games is figuring out that I didn’t need to only play the hot new shit. I can just play Silent Hill 2 whenever I want.

I have a medical appointment at 6:30a tomorrow, and then another one at 8:30a. AKA plenty of Pokopia building time inbetween.

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine

uploading this bit from cm punk's promo from raw in case wwe starts removing it (surprisingly it was kept in the youtube upload)

Well thats just fucking cool

And here’s the eclipse photo from Artemis II. I am in tears.

My wife wanted to get our daughter a Yoto last Christmas, and it has continued to be a killer investment in her music taste.

The Mario Galaxy memberberries were so good. The music was superb. I wish they had remembered to write a coherent script. I will absolutely see whatever god awful third movie is made.

SHES FREEEEEE

I was thinking of getting a new Switch 2 game to play over the holiday but then I thought "What if I build an elevated train in Pokemon Pokopia" and decided to never buy another game ever again.

We are now halfway to Halloween.

It’s looking more and more like the Switch 2 is gonna be my main console for this generation followed closely by the PS Portal. Wild to think these pieces of hardware are actually gonna mature in value.

Me, avoiding Super Mario Galaxy Movie cameo spoilers:

I didn't really love the first Mario Bros. animated movie, but I'm ready to give into the hype and enjoy the Mario Galaxy movie for what it is. I'm so tired. Gimme those nostalgic good feels.

Very excited to play Friday The 13th But Not. youtu.be/BPJ83MKWJuc

This week's episode of Last Save Lounge makes me smile. I interviewed @digitalcantina.com about Wolfenstein 3D and the time he spent playing it with his Zadie. Games creating core memories that last a lifetime are why this show exists. Available now wherever you get your podcasts.

Folks, we've got to start using a lower case "i" for AI. Too many times, I've read a headline and wondered for a moment "who the heck is AL, and how'd he piss off so many people?"

And that’s credits on Pokémon Pokopia. Can’t wait to spend another 100 hours in this game.

Whoever wrote the dialogue for Screamer had some fun.

Despicable behavior. Another case of people not mattering as long as the line goes up.

Everybody's trying to be Fortnite and if you don't make a Fortnite then everybody gets laid off, but it ends up even if you do make a Fortnite then everybody gets laid off

Screamer makes a killer first impression. It’s Initial D by way of Burnout.

amaze amaze amaze

Last night, my usual Destiny Fireteam had a potluck where we ate good food, had a drink, and showed off our Pokopia towns. Adult friendships are not too different from playground friendships. It rules.

Starting Friday morning with a big coffee and "J-E-N-O-V-A" from FF7 Rebirth blaring in my headphones. I am shaking involuntarily.

pov: you’re chuck norris arriving at the pearly gates

these super low profile thumb braces are the reason i can play video games again and i did a lot of searching to find them. no provider recommended them to me for video games! none of them really knew what to do about gaming. i don't want to gatekeep! www.mothership.blog/a-thumb-brac...

I think I'm ready to open up my heart to Final Fantasy X again.

I like this because it gets at the real reason I would get breathless about Pokopia: it's great at the thing games are good at, which is making tasks pleasurable and then unlocking self-expression. That's worth getting breathless about.
