Here's my top 10 games, or games to know me by.

Final Fantasy VI (I like the whole series)
CV SOTN
Skyrim
Mario World
Secret of Mana
Super Metroid
Mass Effect 2
Chrono Trigger/Cross
Sonic 2
Borderlands 2

First few stay the same, the others can alternate and change sometimes.

"I ask very LITTLE of my bed" is what I meant to say.

Some would say I never get enough sleep, but I would say I'm like a Lord of the Rings sleep wizard in that I never sleep too little or too late- I get precisely the amount of sleep I meant to get.

Wife wants one but going to chance it with the public sale. Of course that means almost 0 chance.

Yeah I've been into it since the original, and I guess they aren't doing a great job promoting the new one. I think this is the first completely new console/PC game in over a decade.

I have a sneaky suspicion that not enough people are excited about Once Upon a Katamari coming out in just 10 days. I know it's not in a battlefield and it doesn't involve a lot of bugs dying over and over at a boss, but the whole series is a blast and I'd like it not to fade into obscurity again.

Leaking info and images is fine. Builds hype, and sometimes it's done intentionally. Leaking actual roms and early versions for pirates to play through of games is not so good.

Florida Man has ways to go to catch up.

They're spectacular. The joints are possibly the best, smoothest joints I've felt in a 6" figure.

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah I do miss the old days when franchises didn't have to reinvent the wheel and actually made new games in timely fashions. Even if the games weren't 50 hours with open world hubs.

I remember going to random stores and filling out physical applications.

Everyone: The Koopalings are better, and will always be better, than Bowser Jr.

Nintendo: The best we can do is more Bowser Jr. forever.

Same situation with me, but there are plenty of other reasons like enjoying a physical collection and I hate worrying about specs and upgrades. I don't really feel the need to explain myself to PC gamers that look down on console gaming but it's wild they have a hard time understanding these things.

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 6d

As another console-only gamer, I have my reasons. The astonishing thing is how often PC gamers feel the need to remind everyone that computers exist. As if they just saved the day and we had no idea.

What isn't discussed enough about working from home is how amazing it is to use your own bathroom.

Same here- Simon was the only boss that made me think no amount of my own trial and error would work. At least, not in any amount of time I was willing to give to it.

I would say give me more Sirenes over more Simons. Dealing with Simon wasn't fun- it was a homework assignment.

I'm all for fun, tough bosses. But I am a little tired of bosses where I have to study every piece of armor and equippable ability or go online to learn about special "builds." I'm as big a fan as anyone of Expedition 33 but I hope these new "late game" bosses aren't just more Simons.

Yeah yeah I know I shouldn't drop F-bombs around my kid. But come on, I had 4 decades of using that before the kid showed up. That shit's locked in.

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 8d

It's in the top 13 for sure.

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 8d

I enjoyed the movie. Certainly more than the Marshall reboot, and it was way closer to the comics than the Del Toro films.

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 8d

Oh the Dalton Imperial.

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 8d

I hear a lot of people claiming the console wars are over. Just don't tell Trump or he'll take credit for ending another war.

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 8d

Just let me wear a cape.

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 9d

This figure is... okay. He's tiny though. I would wait for another update. Has to happen, right?

Sleepy Gamer @sleepygamer.bsky.social · 9d

Oh and wilder still is the amount they pay the temp agencies would more than pay for a full time salary. They are even required to offer benefits so that cost is already there.
