Oh, hey, I realized I've been hella silent here lately. Life's been crazy and I've mostly been keeping my head above water. All good, just more drained than expected!

First proper Friday I've had off in a while. Lengthy massage appointment, chiropractor appointment, and haircut planned for today. The lack of self care has been real and it's time to try and reverse that.

That sounds amazing and hopefully I can catch the demo soon.

Damnit, Nintendo, you can't just announce Xenoblade Chronicles X dropping in a month when I haven't finished XC3 yet.

I sense some dad mode binging in my future.

Get a cold. Crash early last night. Wake up after 8 hours. Call out from work. Crash for yet another 8 hours.

XC2 is a solid game, but yeah, there's a ton of interlaced systems to pick up for a while. Definitely a slow burn.

Not finishing games because they're boring? Nah.

Not finishing games because you took such a long break that you feel obligated to start over so you can remember the plot? That's my favorite trick.

So long, 20 hour save file.

I was completely unaware that the Fabula Ultima GM Toolkit came with a GM screen. I've never had one before. Feels like I've somehow leveled up in tabletop hobbies.

I love when I get a call that one book has arrived only to find that both came in when I go to pick up the order.

Day has been made.

Given the state of the US? This feels accurate.

That cat has some serious, "You better not mess this Cobalt Core run up," vibes and it's amazing.

In a bit of good tabletop news, not only is the Techno Fantasy Atlas for Fabula Ultima slated to arrive at my Friendly Local Game Store, but I came across a fan-made Low Fantasy Atlas that looks pretty nifty.

Still need to find/make a group for it, but I'm excited nonetheless!

Protect Your Site With A DOOM Captcha We all know that β€œCan it run DOOM?” is the first question of a hardware hacker. The 1993 first person shooter from id Software defined an entire genre of games, and has since been made …

The age old question of, "Can it run Doom?" just got weird.

I haven't heard of most of these and now my Steam wishlist has grown. Thanks for the recommendations!

All three boys just got a plethora of new toys last week.

Today, they're having a blast dropping their car collection down a ramp they made out of a tube.

Bit of an unexpected reminder to appreciate the mundane things from time to time. I can't complain.

If I had a nickel for every Humble Bundle tabletop offering I picked up because the charity supported Asheville post-Helene, I'd have two nickels.

Isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Got my Nintendo Year In Review.

Way less time for the year than I expected, but still fun!

Got to see @audettef.bsky.social for service this morning. Always a good experience. 10/10 would go again.

Here's the same song remastered using v4.0.

I'm going to shamelessly plug this for a second just for the comparison.

Here's the original version generated using v3.5. All I provided was a genre and title.

Hold up.

One Deck Dungeon is getting another expansion AND a fleshed-out Abyssal Troves?

Sign me the hell up. ODD is fantastic.

Suno recently updated its AI algorithms to a new version and gave all users a free use of its Remaster feature.

Holy crap, the difference in vocal quality is staggering - and it already had some decent results beforehand. Looks like I'll be expanding my personal music catalogue some more.

Ordered the Nyxi Hyperion Pro controller for the Switch and it just came in. I had no idea just how buttery smooth the Hall Effect thumb sticks would be and it's glorious.

I need to give that another shot. Sank maybe an hour and change into it.

Went to UU service today, but ended up hanging out in the baby/toddler room with my boys due to folks being out.

Turns out that one of the other parents that came in was a guy I played Dungeon World with one time years ago.

I can't complain about the small world moment!
