Been sitting over here waiting for Esoteric Ebb to release on Steam at 9am

It’s now 10:45am and I’m still not Ebbin’ 😭

So they made a Chess Balatro and just like Balatro I know nothing about the source material, but already feel like I’m going to love this game

I played the demo on Steam, but definitely want to play it more on iPad

And I was just talking to someone about learning chess. Now I don’t have to 😂

Finally taking these out of the box after like 18 months 😂

That’s a cosmic shame

😫

Continuing my current trend of getting into fallout games that I played a million years ago and bounced off of, me and Wolfe are devoting like 80% of our free time playing Fallout 76

It turns out that this game is actually pretty damn good now. Especially since I fixed it to run in 5120x1440

Games like INDIKA and Keeper are what keep me subscribed to GamePass. Two super weird and interesting games that I would have LIKED to play but probably would have never gotten around to had they not been included in my subscription

Knowing that we’re starting an IRL TTRPG game soon is super exciting because I’ve never really done that before, but it’s also super driving me crazy because we wont get to start for another 3 weeks and I can only think about my character for so long without going crazy because I can’t make them yet

Dipshit trying to fix his garbage car business by pivoting to making garbage robots and reducing the lineup from S3XY to just… 3Y

Well, let’s see what’s up with this Xbox developer direct 🤨

Even Destructoid won’t read their own articles. Gotta have an AI do it for them

Nah.

I tore my Green Bay sock about an hour ago and said “well, they’re done now” and ever since then they’ve looked like shit 😑

No layoffs, just a change in the workflow that sucks

At least the part they just ruined it with shouldn’t happen for a while so… I guess that buys me some time

Whoops. Never mind. They ruined it.

Bears/Packers game at my house with my in-laws tomorrow. We got one Bears fan, one Packers fan, and two significant others that have to tolerate the fact that their spouses watch football

In the end, both one football fan and one football hater will walk away a winner tomorrow 😂

Oh wow. A meeting at work with my new boss and new team that actually left me feeling pretty good and hopeful about my future here?

I’ll certainly take it 😁

“We can all agree my original statement was a terrible one, so please allow me to retract that and issue a new terrible statement”

I was just saying how it’s been a couple years since I’ve gotten a GDQ shirt. I suppose that ends now because I gotta get this, of course

“The episodes are too long!”

“The kids are too old!”

“The seasons take too long to come out!”

“…but you also didn’t answer every single question on screen and it felt rushed and it wasn’t perfectly wrapped up exactly how I want!” 🥴

It’s a beer brewin’ and cinnamon/mint Norwegian schnapps tryin’ kinda Sunday

This was given to me by my sister-in-law and wow. It’s got some pretty great and clever references to food mentioned on the show I never would have expected to be in here. And all the art and photos are amazing as well. This thing is super fun 😁

Continuing my blanket-and-pajama-based regeneration from the holidays with a nerd beer (cider)

I still haven’t even unpacked any of my makeup from the hotel on Christmas Eve 😴

Slept for a bajillion hours last night. Now it’s a video game, football, and stuffed pizza party kind of day

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Look who joined me on camera for my all-staff meeting today…
