The rush I get from only slightly outplaying my opponent in Champions Doubles Master Rank is CRIMINAL and should be studied. Did I read your Protect correctly one time AND managed to land Sleep Powder as a result? I am PUMPING MY FIST in my living room like it's the Olympics.

Rolled credits on Pokopia after the game came out just over 100 hours ago. Jesh and unnecessarily "finishing" Pokémon games far too quickly; name a better combo. Now to build Gastrodon Palace.

Bluesky gets a bonus magenta photo of my wonderful, beautiful husband to celebrate our one-year anniversary. :3 @suq.bsky.social 💖💖💖

omg pokopia is gonna ruin my life and i'm so excited

I just bought Factorio. You may not see me again for years.

I haven't had a PC capable of running Street Fighter 6 at my parents' house, so I've not been able to play since July. I got a Switch 2 for Christmas, so I immediately got the setup to be able to play SF6 on that. I cannot express how happy I am to get to full-screen zone folks as JP again.

You can't imagine the day I've had.

Today's mood: the lone person ice skating in the rain at Bryant Park.

Watching my household win their on-stream Rivals of Aether 2 matches from 500 miles away >>>>>>>

First listen of Life of a Showgirl completed, and I am very satisfied. I craved a return to livelier production and higher energy songs, and it was there in spades. Out of 12 songs, I think only 3 or 4 failed to make a strong impression, but that might be the consequence of a first listen.

I'm gonna spend my chemo recovery this week just hatching a bazillion Tandemaus eggs because I can't goddamn do this outbreak/sandwich horror story one more time. This is horrific. Did I want a shiny Tandemaus the Anxious or Tandemaus the Grumpy? Of course. But it's just a mess.

I don't think I know the difference between Dokapon and Danganronpa, I cannot lie. I think I assumed they were both multi-player games that caused a lot of friendships to end, but now I'm suspecting this may not be the case.

It's odd waxing nostalgic about the golden era of Facebook, but today I am mourning the Events feature. It was unmatched, having one place to find what events were upcoming, what information had been made public, and which of my friends were going (or who wanted to and maybe would split costs).

Finally beat Oddsparks after spending just shy of 100 hours with it since its release a few months ago. It's a very charming marriage of Pikmin and Factorio, and it hooked me in a way that's hard to explain. Combat's weird, but nothing beats the feeling of perfectly automating something complex.

Spending Father's Day with my parents at the cute greasy spoon down the street from the house I grew up in. They did an amazing job raising me and my brother despite having us so young, and I respect them so much for that~

Me every time I spot an apostrophe on your steam overlays in the bracket round indications. (Huge kudos to @bluerosetori.com for this severe photo from Combo Breaker!)

Peak bloom feat. @jesh.bsky.social and @jackiepeanuts.bsky.social 🌸

I will be the thirtieth person to tell you this, but Split Fiction is phenomenal and you should play it with someone, remote or in-person. It's so stellar.

We got married! ❤️ The Bluesky bonus fact is that @suq.bsky.social's ring is now stuck on his finger.

VERY satisfied I held off watching Severance (really mostly out of pure laziness) until Season 2 came out. I watched the first two episodes on a flight in early 2023; if I'd watched the full first season and experienced THAT season finale without the next season to jump into, I would be apoplectic.

Can't lie, I've been enjoying not worrying about social media after everything started going to hell on Twitter and Meta and wherever else. Don't mistake my absence for anything other than me focusing on me—I'm happy, I'm healthy, etc. Hope y'all are doing well! <3

Smash Ultimate has been out for six years. If you asked ten Ult commentators what ROB's side special is called, you'd get at least five different serious answers, and that irks me. 😅

omg it's snowing outside :3

Tuned into the Don't Park on the Grass stream for Rivals of Aether 2 for ONE MINUTE and I immediately see this WILD nastiness from @buck.hval.la. Who gave you the right?!? This was so, so, so, so good. The @rivals2.com stream for DPotG is live all day today! twitch.tv/rivalsofaether

I've completed every achievement in Balatro except for the two Completionist+ ones, and those are just sooooo dang grindy. T_T I want more silly things to do in this game.

It's not even 10AM yet on a Saturday, mind you. 😅 No salt like Showdown salt.

The way I spent hundreds of hours watching "What The Buck" in the late 2000s on YouTube and I just realized most every episode of it is privated. It feels like the YouTube of my late adolescence has just been wiped from the face of the planet.

Living the Elliana dream, even if it's only via my Fleet palette swap.

Sought to use a video game for escapism. Bought "Good Pizza, Great Pizza" from Steam. Was immediately called old.

Responded today to more folks than I can count with "I'd prefer not to answer that question." Holding my space, keeping my peace.

I'm having so much trouble adjusting my brain for Rivals 2 BUT I have been incredibly excited to taunt after every wayward projectile edgeguard like it's Smash 4 all over again.

I'm moving soon which means I'm spending five hours a day on furniture and art sites fantasizing about the $20k worth of goods in my bookmarks when I fully well know I'm gonna buy everything I need at IKEA for $28.51.

Hello FGC, welcome to bsky. Come to Midwest Mixfest this November in the Twin Cities. www.start.gg/tournament/m... #FGC #fightinggamecommunity

A reddit user (u/TuesdayTactic) overlaid Rivals of Aether characters onto this Smash Ultimate alignment chart, and, while it's a really interesting resource and perspective for new players, I get cross-eyed so fast questioning placements for characters from both games. www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/...

Not to add to the swirling discourse of "what the heck do I even put on here," but I do get these prolonged 2011 Twitter vibes where I'm always half-considering tweeting about how much I love bleu cheese on burgers.

Hey Bluesky! It's been a while. I'm way better at SF6 than I was when I was here last. 😎

My Spotify Wrapped was entirely unsurprising. Carly Rae Jepsen dominated my year, and that's all the news there is to report. 😅

I THOUGHT emphasis on I THOUGHT emphasis on I MADE THE CONSIDERATION THAT leaving New England on Saturday instead of Sunday after Thanksgiving would have made for a more enjoyable driving experience back to DC but LET ME TELL YOU: boy oh boy OH BOY WAS I MISTAKEN. 5.5 hours down, 4.5 hours remain.

It's the annual Black Friday trip to destitute New England malls, which usually only ever serves to get goofy photos of @suq.bsky.social posing next to retail signage~

Spotify's AI DJ is MESSING ME UP today. This is actually kinda a great feature...

Joined a Street Fighter 6 event last week: went 1-2. Joined the same event this week: went 2-2. Progress. 😤

I've trained my body so well to get up at 6:45am that, if I try and sleep in on a weekday, I wake up like every ten minutes in this "am I late??" mini-panic. 😭

Here's your periodic reminder that, even though we wronged Hilary Duff in 2015 for not amping this absolute SLAM of a song up the pop charts, there's no reason we can't correct course now. https://youtu.be/dpPXpHx9jO4

omg hiiii bluesky heeeeey in the spirit of my first tweet back in like 2008 being exceptionally underwhelming, let me all tell you: i went bowling last night for the first time in many years and 💅 i 💅 still 💅 got 💅 it. 💅
