Prefers Video Games and Books to most people

goku and trunks from dragon ball z are dancing together on a wooden floor . ALT: goku and trunks from dragon ball z are dancing together on a wooden floor .

Probably both, with a random Disney movie recorded from ABC.

Didn't you just get accused of cheesing Malenia? Pretty sure that includes at least one other cis guy.

This reminds me of the apocryphal story of the show shine boy talking about stock tips and it just proved how overleveraged it was before the crash.

No one's parents* ever referred to video games in general as "the Sega".

*My dad in his 70's refers to my PS5 as "the Nintendo".

Finally playing Kena: Bridge of Spirits. It's so delightfully wholesome and then - WHAM! Boss battle requiring perfection of the skill you just learned.

The desired level of comfort.

Introducing the kids to the Matrix.

So many questions.

Can't wait for NCIS: Duluth Trading Company.

Today's plate

Debbie Gibson on the sheep focused Serta Dream float? Hell yeah.

Followed by half goth Taylor Momsen singing Where are you Christmas? Why not.

Best thing about the Macy's parade is the absolute chaotic combination of performances. Notorious B.I.G. while clowns are walking by? Sure. Busta Rhymes with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? That actually fits. Toys R Us beatbox kids with Lil' John blasting Turn down for What?

Pure America.

I think I'm going to have to limit myself for a bit while I work through things, especially for games I'll want to play twice. I'll still watch the trailers at TGA, but unless it's something I'm already tracking, I'll probably just....not play it.

So I'm staring at my backlog of games. Some have been there for years (still looking at you, Demon's Soul) and some are more recent acquisitions (Kena, Returnal, Indiana Jones).

Accidentally had the last trophy be painting a scene with a bunch of frogs. Quina from FF9 would be so happy.

Finished up enough for the Platinum. As much as I enjoyed it, I don't know if I'm going to jump on NG+.

Open faced

"Call Goldberg 800-600-6014"

Just need a jingle/commercial for each number, right?

Expedition 33 by a mile, but you never know what GK is thinking.

I made some red beans and rice from scratch today which I have never done before. Kids, who had never had it, asked what it was. I absolutely lost it when she described it as "Cajun beanie weenies".

Which is absolutely true.

but this didn't change the level of fun or satisfaction at all. If you played Ghost of Tsushima, then you probably already know about this game. If you haven't, I'd heartily recommend it as an ~8.0-8.5/10.0 game.

Finished Ghost of Yotei (aside from a few clean up tasks).

It is a beautifully stable game that has great controls, gorgeous backdrop, and a well told, if predictable, story. I dropped it from Hard to Casual (because I don't have time to retry a dozen different movesets),

Glad you enjoyed it, especially if it caused reasonable discussions.

I honestly just want to have never known about them in the first place.

Just a reminder - if you have a frozen turkey it's time to move it to the fridge to thaw.

It's my oldest daughter's birthday.

Are we living in a golden age of stupidity? From brain-rotting videos to AI creep, every technological advance seems to make it harder to work, remember, think and function independently …

You should read this every single week, especially if coworkers are pushing heavily for using AI to replace critical thought.
