The audacity to try has allowed me to wrestle, review, tour, perform, write & create for a living. Mostly game, lift, and hang w/partner & cat in free time. 日本語でも

Friends who are secure enough to pay sincere compliments and observant enough to tell when something’s amiss are the best.

Even if you’re not into basketball, look into Victor Wenbanyama.
He’s every fantasy analogy you can think:
-Regular person playing on an 8-ft hoop
-Adult playing against kids
-A created player in 2K with max height and all-maxed stats

The team around him ain’t bad either!

I’m not on here much.
It’s because I’ve been busy leveling-up Tidus’s celestial weapon by getting a perfect run in the worst minigame in history: Chocobo Chase.
Since then, I’ve been forced into endless Blitzball games.

Being able to talk just meant he was a douche who looked like crap and couldn’t wrestle.

I worked on a game that, by the time it was cancelled, the game it was chasing had come out and failed like 3 years before.

When games became so financially focused, the amount of ignorant and unserious people grew exponentially.
Money truly brings out the worst in douchebags.

Today’s closed games are the quickie me-too cash-grabs that started dev 7 years ago.
What a world…

Yesterday, we watched Magnolia for the first time. What a cast - many of which I saw perform during @pftompkins.bsky.social many variety shows.
Today, we saw Goat - which is somehow a pleasant mashup of Space Jam & Zootopia.

Can you imagine him trying to duck a thrown shoe?

Woulda sure been nice if that device had an analog stick, though. Playing 3D platformers on the d-pad is like driving a Corvette with automatic transmission.

Hey, a war!
Add it to the list of horrifying US shit that’s happened since I left 9 years, 11 months and 7 days ago.
Y’all don’t ever want me back, huh?
Letting the worst person wield the most power once again was sure fucking stupid.
Even GW knew: Fool me once… Won’t get fooled again.

It’s never fun making enemies.
It’s also not fun listening to 2 people sitting at 1 of 2 benches at the little apartment gym, having a speakerphone chat w/a 3rd, for 15 minutes, with no intention of working out.
I let em know about quiet spots nearby that aren’t next to others quietly exercising.

Soul to Squeeze was my first thought related to that movie!

Even odder, though, combined with the “I own this business so don’t mess around out there.”
I guess that was the tear-down and the handi-cannibal stuff was the build-up…?

Even though I’m not spending as much money lately, lots of my time is still spent looking at things I could but won’t buy.
Consumerism is a harsh mistress.

The version of Candice that jumped on my lap during a match in Reseda and had me hold her from being dragged off by Christina Von Eerie?
Well, okay, but you’ll need to fly me in from UK.

We sharing Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary stories?
9th birthday, parents & friend were on our way down to Six Flags in IL. Car broke down; we had to 180.
We rented an NES & Zelda instead. I was mesmerized!
If we’d made the theme park, perhaps I’d be a coaster designer now instead of making games.

Yeah, it’s usually not great. But at least it’s almost always expensive!

Bro, there’s a place here that does grilled cheese sandwiches with a bacon cheeseburger inside. They’re called toasties.
About the only good food in the UK…

Did I get teleported to 2022 and Twitter…? 😮

My office now has single-ply in the bathrooms on my floor.
I go up 2 floors to where the ply is doubled and wifi works in the stalls.

People there sure think so. A big reason I didn’t move back.

Good to know, though that’s a low bar.
I’ve always struggled with the passive-bumping combat style of old Ys games. Funny it’s come around a bit with Vampire Survivors.

H, I owned the NES version and it was the worst game I ever got as a kid - coulda had Baseball Stars instead, darn it.
I’m just shocked someone would emulate it on Switch and charge money, though admittedly Hydlide 3 doesn’t look awful. Will have to look it up.

What in the world?
Is that…Hydlide? Arguably the worst franchise in video-game history??
