happy saturday night folks, how are we? what’s going on? what’s the tea? 🦋 #promosky 🤪🍷

i had a margarita 🍹 (or few 🫣) last night, followed a friend to the store next door to our restaurant, and ended up buying all of these video games 😭🤪 any fire emblem, pokémon, story of seasons, or spyro fans have thoughts on these? 👀

trying really hard as of late to find joy in my life - big or small - but i didn’t realize how much of a concerted effort that is. (i’m also in stress mode and i need to vent/rant/ramble somewhere)

happy monday before thanksgiving!! today i caught a 3rd-grade student lighting up a cigarette in the bathroom 😌 #justteacherthings

i appreciate you listening to me yap about one of my favorite video game series :) i’d love to hear more about it, should you play it at some point!!

now i’d like to ask you — trails in the sky. there’s also cold steel? many people i know have played it. would you recommend?

of those three (assuming you have a switch or steam since most people i’ve met do lol) i’d say vesperia is a really good intro that’s not too old / unlike modern tales. it’s also more of a lighthearted start imo! if you enjoy that, i’d recommend berseria or symphonia after. :) ty for asking! 🩷

vesperia has a great protagonist and cast, their interactions throughout the story are some of my fave. battle system is more updated than symphonia, for sure. berseria has a female lead (queen) and is a bit more intense than the other two, but it has a solid battle system and fun cast. (2/3 sry)

great q! switch has symphonia and vesperia, & steam has those and berseria and zestiria. symphonia is an older entry and is dated but it has some of my favorite worldbuilding and storytelling. slow start but definitely worth it imo. symphonia gained a lot of traction for tales in the west. (1/2)

omg i will always recommend the tales games to people. my introduction to the series was back when i was around 8/9 years old, and it still resonates with me to this day. special place in my heart. 🩷 not turn-based like final fantasy! which threw me for a loop when i started playing FF lol.

The biggest advantage of being poor as fuck is that my gaming backlog doesn't get any bigger

if you see this, post your favorite pokémon! ❤️🤍

i am an eevee(lutions) stan but espeon is my favorite of them all 🥰

Bluesky is a reset and a new beginning, just at the perfect time. I dig it. You?

if you’ve not read “in the lives of puppets” by him, i’d recommend that one. to me, the ‘science fiction’ aspect precedes the ‘fantasy’ aspect, which i was a little uncertain of at first (given my personal preference), but i ended up thoroughly enjoying that one. different from his other works imo.

oh, i loved that one! what did you think of it? i’ve been meaning to check out his green creek book series, but i’ve not gotten around to it.

2 days on bluesky and i’m already happy with the people i’ve met so far, and i love seeing so many other people on discover with similar interests or, above all else, good intentions :) i’ve missed that sense of online community, i’m looking forward to finding it again 🩷 x

iron gate has been sitting on my bedside table for MONTHS waiting for me to start reading but i’ve been so busy and keep getting sidetracked 😭

i also think a 2025 goal of mine is to read acotar since it seems like everyone i know has read that series‼️

as underpaid and undervalued being a teacher is, it has its perks! one of my favorite ice breakers is asking someone to show me math before i show them how i teach “new math” and their minds are blown 🤪 you can tell me how you multiply or divide and i can throw a curveball at you ⚾️

Trying to find a happy medium between not knowing anything that's happening in the world and being pissed off all the time

sounds like irl 🤣 life imitates art i guess 😭

not if being a hater was an olympic sport 😭💀

hi hussain!

this is not the first time i’ve met someone doing that, so no worries lol. i do know about runescape though! it’s an mmorpg like world of warcraft, right? i figure it involves… runes… 😶… and other things? 🤣

it’s a ham and cheddar biscuit! they had just opened when i arrived, so it was warm and fresh! 😋
