That's fair. I think the most important things are laying on your back instead of sitting, and regular walks. If you've got some walking sticks, then those are pretty handy at first when you're still sore and walking is tiresome.

Merry yule, everyone! You ever played Slay the Spire and thought "This dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder is good, but I wish it had more bubbly, anime magical girls"? No? Well, that is a thing that exists. It's pretty fun.

-elbow against wall while standing, then slightly bend sideways against the wall a few times, then switch sides. Also a few times a day. Dunno if that helps, but it worked for me.

So my chiro said to be laying on my back unless walking (a handful short walks each day) or doing specific exercises. No sitting or standing. And the exercises were careful, slow cat-cow pose a few times a day, and -

That sucks. Sounds like what I had a few months ago. Happened as I was bending to pick up something from the floor. I hope you know how to deal with it. I could tell you what my chiropractor said to do if you want to.

If so, there better be a dancing baby emote or pet.

The Japanese government better hope no parents take their kids to the beach next summer.

Somehow, Sagat returned.

Did you buy it on the world wide web?
*ba-dum tish*

Fair enough. Sound decent, I'll keep my expectations in check before playing it.

How did you like Pirates?

5. After a 5 year-long break, I'm finally playing an Atelier game again. Feels good, and I'm about halfway done with it.

4. Ishin isn't top tier Yakuza either, but I'm a weirdo who likes it more than Judgment. Also, I've put the same amount of hours into it, I just took a long break in 2023 for the double-whammy that is Tears of the Kingdom and Infinite Wealth.

3. Death Stranding is so unique. It's amazing, an experience like no other. For some reason it makes me feel like I’m simultaneously playing a AAA title and an indie game.

2: It isn't top tier Yakuza to me, but Judgment is still great. It's actually not that long, but the friendship and girlfriend sidequests take a lot of time and grind.

My PS wrap-up:

1: Yeah, I played a little too much Fortnite this year. There were some cool battle passes and I wanted to see how much you need to play to max one out. Spoiler: at least 15-30 minutes every day. Doubt I'll do it again. #blutoid

Oof, those kind of coworkers are so annoying. Why can't people just do their own jobs and leave other people's business alone. Hope it works out.

And governments around the world are wondering why birth rates are declining.

This new official Metroid cushion is either the worst or best fleshlight I've ever seen. #blutoid

Damn. I was hoping to play as a heroic law-abiding cop.
Guess I'll just replay Lego City Undercover again instead.

Just wait until the robots come and take our boomer butt wiping jobs. Lousy robots.

- but feels more like a series of levels that just happen to be connected. But maybe you could say that about a lot of metroidvanias.

I'm like 10 years late to the party, but I'm finally playing Guacamelee and it's as great as it's reputation led me to believe. Great style, great game-feel, great silliness. I do wish the areas felt a little more connected. It is technically a metroidvania, -

Gotta say, playing Fortnite in bot-only lobbies is an eye-opener. No need to worry about being gunned down, just do your quests in peace, enjoy the sights, and chill. I don't think I’ll be going back to regular battle royale after this. #blutoid

Gamedstop. You know, for the gamers.

Mostly Fortnite: Simpsons season. It's pretty fun, and seeing locations from the show fully detailed and decorated is still a trip. But I'm still a bit bummed that the map is not a proper Springfield but a bunch a smaller districts spread around like a regular Fortnite map.

Thanks, I totally forgot about that demo. Need to download it when I get home.

Definitely on my list.

Meanwhile, I need someone to make a version of the dinkleberg meme with the main character from Hinterberg instead.

Did you mean to say "to-golf order"?

The Simpsons is now in Fortnite, and after I've seen the map, it's crazy that the best virtual rendition of Springfield is still from Virtual Springfield. Which released in 1997! #blutoid
