Finally saw Hadestown with Paige!
I’ll never understand the dudes that have to comment “my wife dragged me to see this” on my socials

I’m sorry that you’re miserable, but I married my best friend. We enjoy a lot of the same things, and even when we don’t, it’s fun to experience each others passions

What in the absolute MLA formatted hell was I thinking when I chose all of my Humanities, Social Studies, Communications, and English pre-requisites for my first semester 😭

I just wanna learn #Simulation and #Gamedev…

I can just barely pay bills while I’m going to school, but thank fuck that Bethany, HR Manager for a top 500 has ANOTHER platform to spew her racist, classist, elitist views

Nothing like getting ghosted by every recruiter on LinkedIn for having less than 5 years exp for an entry level position, while those companies managers, making over 6 figures a year, proudly call people “stupid lib”, the “R” word, and to un-alive themselves in the comment sections.

spent years thinking this game was a fever dream until I found my old copy in one of those gamestop paper holders 😂

Almost 20 years ago, #thelightningthief came out and a 13 yr old boy with a “learning disability” longed for a home in its pages. Today the discussion board for my myth in human culture class is full of people saying it was their gateway into mythology too. We found it, kid

This is the type of weather you gotta wrap yourself in several blankets and fill up on cakes and sweets and tea in order to get through

Today was my first day of school in 14 yrs. I sat at a computer and did exactly two icebreakers (Does anyone actually like talking nicely about themselves for 300 words or more?). My brain is beat, my eyes are sore, and I’m ready to slam back some choccy milk and play some video games for homework

Playing #Grounded with @capnmanny.bsky.social and @marklovespotatoes7.bsky.social

I love finding different ways to bend game mechanics. If the fireworks launch us, I wonder what else it’ll launch? 🕷️ 🧑‍🚀

Last eve’, @paigethegnome.bsky.social and I got to try out the board game #Horrified (Greek Monsters)
What a fun time! It took a minute to understand, but once we did, Cerberus and the basilisk never knew what hit ‘em.

I’ll watch an entire Day long Hallmark Christmas Movie marathon, in Dutch, without subtitles, before I sit through even 5 out of 100 agonizing minutes of the Polar express

While I know the likelihood, I would love a resurgence either via more games or a movie (as long as they listen to the fans like #sonic did). But this is one of those things that if there’s not the same amount of love and passion there as we had playing the games, it’s not going to do well

All the sly games were fun, and I wouldn’t ever say know if they were laid out in front of me, but sly 2: band of thieves is just the absolute peak based on the time it came out, the improvements it made, and the storyline it furthered.

@thekevinmiller.com voice was routinely pumping through our tv stereos, as I played and replayed every episode. From the contessa to Jean bison, slinking around collecting calling cards or breaking glass bottles, or parachuting around the hub world and pickpocketing enemies for loot, I loved it all!

The flashlight mobs that you had to pickpocket from were so fun, and somehow felt high stakes without actually being high stakes.
The story was insane for what it was. They didn’t have to pack that much intrigue, suspense, and DOWNRIGHT BETRAYAL into a kids game, but wow, I’m thankful they did

This is the game that got me hooked. The game I spent my first all nighter on. There was something spectacular about it: between the music, the art style, and the gameplay; it felt like nothing I’d ever seen before

Day 20: The game that introduced me to jazz, stealth action platformers, and the lovable rogue archetype.
Day 20: Sly Cooper Band of thieves

#slycooper #bentley #themurray #thieviousraccoonous #sly2 🦝

It wasn’t a huge or well known game that I’m aware of. At least it wasn’t in my town I grew up in. I haven’t made an effort to find the game, as I know I remember it mostly for #nostalgic reasons & I honestly don’t know if there are many Zeek fans, but I have a real soft spot for this little geek.

The character was simple and minimalist enough that I could make my own in the paint program, although I’m sure it looked nothing like him. I would draw little mazes and mosiacs that I would have him work through (in my mind that is)

I think this might have been the game that started it all for me. It was simple. It was fun for me at 8 years old, partially because I was able to get through the levels without much difficulty. The music was soft and the little walking sounds he made have a warm place in my nostalgia bank

Zeek was a fun little guy that came installed with our 2nd home computer. We had cd roms like #cluefinders, #mavisbeacon, #spideman, and #amazontrail. We had #spacepinball, #hearts, and #spidersolitaire. But for me, if I wasnt playing #zeekthegeek, I was in paint making my own mazes

Day 19: Zeek the Geek

I enjoyed the #pokemon games, but not the card game or the show.
I loved #digimon, but had no idea there were (bad) games, or cards.
Which meant #yugioh took the lead. The cards, the games, the cartoon. Dark magician and dark magician girl had a spell on me even then.

I would line up all 380 yugioh cards I had, top edge to bottom, so they covered the floor. Then I’d sit there and alternate between the game, the cards, and if it was a Saturday morning, the show.
