I had cereal for dinner last week. Mini wheats with chocolate milk ftw!

But I also wasn’t waiting for a woman to come along and feed me.

Met my first trans woman when I was 13, but at the time thought I wasn’t trans enough to transition.
(lol)

Wasn’t until my 30s I met another trans man, and in my 40s when I got into a trans men group. Sucks feeling like you’re the only one!

Oof. This is a thing I talk about with my therapist, cuz this is a core memory for me too.

That would be your choice, but why? They dropped the policy a long time ago.

This was a thing they tried in the 1990s, and it didn’t even last an entire year before they dropped it because men were being extra as usual and women were attacking employees for flirting with their man.

And…hope your kid isn’t a nosy little shit who’s gonna try to boot up the console first thing that morning before gifts are opened.

*slides his eyes towards all the unsent messages between bro/SIL that nosy little shits would have seen otherwise*

Mhm… 😅

Yeah, this is where I fall with it too. I think about my niblings - they’re gonna get a cool new GKC Christmas Day, have to download it to their console, but the eShop is alwaysssssssss down on December 25th?
Great gift! </s>

The graceless solution is open the game, update, wrap case I guess?

NB: I am admittedly also a terminally online gamer, I’m just not spitting mad about Pokémon Pokopia 😹

Obviously, there’s going to be exceptions to this; certain genres and series will appeal primarily to that 10% of physical only buyers, and key cards will see middling sales.

But it seems many terminally online gamers think everyone loathes key cards and evidence says otherwise? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

10% of buyers will be firmly physical only.
10% of buyers will be firmly digital only (*raises his hand* handling cartridges is challenging for me!)
80% either don’t care or don’t understand. My low tech literacy bro/SIL will happily buy key cards once I get my niblings a Switch 2, guaranteed.

Yay! @travisbaldree.bsky.social spotted!

I can’t speak to the veracity, but little things point to it being human written. Nevertheless is more common in AI writing while people use nonetheless, for example.

It is a frustrating time to be a proofreader, when you have to actually know and coherently explain these word traps to authors 😵‍💫

IIRC, Dragon Quest 7 is what made myself, @redrock963.bsky.social and @plattym3.bsky.social start to consider “time to slime” — how quickly do you get into your first fight in a DQ game?

(In DQ Builders, you get both time to slime *and* time to penis, a 2-for-1 deal!)

Needs an eepy sticker for sure

Love a strong man in touch with feelings that aren’t anger and possession. Twinky top / bigger bottom is one of my fave tropes.

Honestly I’d be hard pressed to even name any MF romance where the man cries outside of “omg ur pregant n u almost die“ which is barely about her at all lol

This is a thing that immediately stood out to me when I started reading MM romance - and FF to a degree as well!
The ’stronger’ partner being vulnerable was so shocking after growing up reading (and later being alienated from) MF romance; that rarely happens outside kink erotica.

A screen from the new Dragon Quest 1 HD2D remake. The hero in Dragon Quest 1 talking to a fairy. The fairy remarks that he doesn't look like a hero, which is accurate because he is currently dressed in a full body dog costume.

I don’t recall how long they ran the offer but I can say if you initiated the Nintendo Power free Dragon Warrior when it was announced, your game arrived 35 years ago this month. With bonus maps and charts for Dragon Warrior 2.

Please enjoy this fact as you play DQI+II

You don’t even want to get me started on the paint colours we’re slowly replacing, but I’ll leave you with swamp green bathroom and orange accent wall kitchen 🙀

Just be honest with yourself if you try a couple things and you realize you’re not a handy person.

We’re having to renovate a lot of our house because the last owners did oodles of DIY. Or, as I call it, DI WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYY 🫠

Thissssss baby shower is clearly a two-yes, one-no situation. By the time a pregnancy is at the shower point nobody should fight about this nonsense.

He can have a diaper shower, invite the ex and his buddies, kick back some brews and have fun doing slightly tipsy changing and swaddling practice.

It’s always the fingers - first woman has too few, first man has far too many 😹

My birth name means femininity and grace. Andras means masculinity and strength. Tada!

Going from cis woman to trans man and people just parting like the Red Sea for my cane, rather than literally kicking it out from underneath me. It’s part funny and part vexing!

I’ve had a Switch 2 for mere weeks how do I already have a three game backlog I suck at this 🫠

I think everyone reading feels that last GOD in their bones 😹

Did the guy who quit reviews mid-edit predate your tenure at RPGamer? He was big big mad at me.

I always laugh so hard when guys talk about women gossiping. Men working in the games industry are the biggest gossipmongers in existence. They live on that shit.

Brilliant!! Why didn’t I think of that?!?

:P

Oh no I got both Burning for Alexander from @lucylennox.bsky.social and Own Goal from @gallagherwitt.bsky.social in the last 24 hours while finishing up the new Anchor Point book, what do I listen to first 😭
