HEAVE HO!

Forgot to train, eh?

Planning on it!

I woke up today and found out I’m 39, who’d a thunk it?

I mean, I imagine Shinji Mikami had his fingers in a few pies too.

A Minor Nagoyance The following day would have me travel under some unusual circumstances. There was an issue with the booking of the hotel where I was staying at where I was scheduled to check out then as I the boo…

Fit for an Emperor The day after my visit to Uji I had my sights set on seeing some other places I missed during my last visit to Kyoto and catching up with a “local” friend from last year. Among those wa…

It’s Uji, Mario! The following day was spent on a locale that hadn’t opened up yet the last time I visited Kyoto–Uji specifically. I am of course referring to the Nintendo Museum. As the name implies it…

Chomping at the Bits After a well paced travel from Hiroshima to Kyoto, I checked myself into the hotel, which thankfully had my room prepared earlier than I was expecting. Which is good because 1) I could drop off all…

Miya-journey-ma The following day led me to the quite literally the other side of Hiroshima where the some of the next significant landmarks lay. It’s all in the name too. “Miyajima” basically me…

The Next Step After my day in Yokohama and night in Nakano getting curbstomped in the game center, it was time again to pack up and move on to the next destination. As the plan states we are going to be taking a…

Using the ol’ Noodle The latest trek took me to the city of Yokohama famous for being major port city central on the silk road, a historic red brick warehouse and home to the Nissin Cup Noodle Museum, which was my firs…

Lighting the Sea Candles Venturing outside the busy center of Tokyo roughly an hour away, I visit the island of Enoshima to the south in the city of Fujisawa. Unlike the gray wetness of yesterday, I have been blessed with …

Planet of the Samurai In a mirroring twist of fate not unlike my first visit to Tokyo, the day started with some less than spectacular weather that initiated my visit to a TeamLab museum, fortunately the rain was not as…

Unfinished post, but I will revisit some deeper details

On the plane and Tokyo bound very soon!

The Journey Begins Anew After yet another long period of waiting, planning, thinking and dreaming the final day before the start of my next adventure arrives. Just like last year, I will be making my way to Chicago from W…

New entry, but the real trip starts tomorrow!

The Adventure Continues… Have I waited long enough to make another entry? Yeah, probably, but in case you haven’t heard (not that I’ve made 90+ second advertisements to interrupt you in the middle of a YouTube …

Saw it today in the theater for the matinee price.

One more month....

In this world, true evil comes packaged with gross incompetence.

So don’t worry too much, you’ll be fine in the end.

Everyone should play Virtua Fighter, it’s peak video game.

lol, I had a problem like this yesterday where my Ethernet port stopped working and my laptop fell back on WiFi without me realizing it till after the fact

I’ll keep an eye out for tomorrow for sure tho.

Oh hello…!

Yeah, for every smooth match on ranked I jump in there’s like three or four choppy fights from someone who either hasn’t optimized their settings or is trying to play on podunk WiFi.

But damn if I’m not trying to make my Lion numbers go up.

It had been suggested that I go the MAGfest reddit and peruse the thread about people looking to sell their badge and every other comment is about how so-and-so is a scammer.

Guess I'll plan on a 2026 return...

(With apologies to @dudeexclamation.bsky.social and @steveyurko.com,)

I was more on the fence about going initially than making it a burning commitment so it's not really a big deal.
