In taking a little break from house life (kids have RSV) I was sorting through some garage stuff and came across this... Gem. 1999 me was soooooo into this 🤣. Me today? I can appreciate the nostalgia it makes me feel, but no... Not into this anymore 🤣

We share a prime account with a crazy quack... Top is an order for misinformed lover of conspiracy theories who think they know everything... My mother in law... Bottom is for people who want to win in life and wants to better themselves... Me!

Being a parent means looking over and seeing your toddler smashing a grape tomato into the vent of your new gaming pc....

😑😑

Had to be at work by 4 this morning... Home things kept me from leaving on time, then I get pulled over when I'm almost to work... For my 3rd brake light being out...

No ticket, but still... THIRD light!? A lot of vehicles only have 2 so why the hell should it matter?? 😂 Jeez!

So this morning, I'm changing my infant's diaper, her sister looking on. I look at her and say "gimme good dappies!" (She will fist bump us). She came over like she was going to then just gave me a hug. These are the true treasures of being a father...

I felt my whole heart take over my chest 🥲

Episode 3 is live! I talk about some of my favorite Sega Genesis games and share memories with them.

Thinking the show may be a bi-weekly thing, not sure yet.

So last night I deactivated my FB account... Too many stupid people saying stupid things. All the country news also wearing on my mental state... Time to focus on the socials where gaming is the only topic getting fed to me and time to focus on gaming content for YT and my podcast

Ep 2: Death Of The Modern Game Store

Definitely working to shake the rust off and am getting used to doing a solo podcast. Ready to do more because this was fun!

Editing is so cathartic to me. I really need to get back into this and break this new PC in correctly!

New episode of the Modernly Retro Podcast recorded and ready for edit! Happy I took the initiative last night and just did it, even if I think I sound like I rambled a bit.

Gotta shake the rust off! Damn, I need a co-host lol!

Same games just had it! Streets of rage's entire soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥 #streetsofrage2 #genesis #soundtrack

I've never worked at a job as lenient as the one I work now. I was told today that if I need time off any less than 4 hours, just go. As long as the work is done, it's not a problem. And anything 4 or over, I can make the time up.

I LOVE it!

Let's start this off right! I love posting about old games... Mostly games I think are hidden gems or rare. So Boktai is one of my more unique titles. Requiring literal sunlight to power your in game weapon with the use of a solar chip on the cart. Produced by Hideo Kojima.
