I never imagined how much I would end up hating organized religion as an adult when I was being raised in an ultra-conservative Catholic family.
I blame it for my extreme lack of motivation on a lot of projects as I got older.
No, really. When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was create.

What in the fucking Suzanne Collins fan fiction is this shit? 😂
Donald Trump just announced the creation of the “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” with “one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.”

If only this overgrown, infected orange skin tag at the White House knew just how heavily his inevitable death is going to be mocked and celebrated by people across the globe...
Using TDS to describe Rob Reiner's murder falls far below all levels of "what in the actual fuck is wrong with you?!"

Jesus, ever since I moved back in June, my gaming momentum literally hit a brick wall.
I know most of it stems from all the work we've had to do, and we're still working on boxes and furniture setups. It's been slow since we've had to budget and plan.
But fuck... I still need to play E33 and DS2.

Typing this up during the intermission...
Aside from Tarantino being an absolute dickbag, we had to see this in its full glory on the big screen. So far, it is so worth it.
Still pisses me off it took him over 20 years to release this here.

This past week, I've noticed that I've been a little on edge, with weird emotional shifts and disrupted sleep.
It just dawned on me that it has now been ten years.
December 21, 2015, my apartment was broken into while I was at work (everything was recovered).
Thirteen days later, my mom died.

Nothing tickles me more than poking Snyderbros with a cattle prod.
My cousin was all like "YEAH, BABY! THE SNYDERVERSE IS GONNA COME BACK!!" after that stupid WB/Netflix acquisition.
I simply tagged this as a reply to his post, and the dude practically had a nuclear meltdown. 😂

Fortnite shouldn't have done this to me.
I really get why people claw back to it now. For me, there's this itch I used to scratch back in my early 20s when Quake II and Counterstrike were at their peak.
The Battle Royale ZB matches are the closest I've ever gotten to matching that satisfaction.

Silly take, but I really dislike the new logo. Mostly color-wise. The teal really throws it off, and WHERE'S MY GIGANTIC MONSTER?! 🤬

Live service/MMO fees/early access/microtransactions.
The fact that WoW alone cost me over $2100 in sub fees over the course of nearly 12 years is fucking bananas.
But throwing more money than what a game is worth at a company is a serious problem on its own.
*points at Star Citizen backers*

Jesus fucking tap-dancing Christ on a Ritz cracker, we have officially entered the six-week period where going to the grocery store just for a jug of milk can send one into pure, untethered, psychotic rage.
WHY ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE HERE?!?! GO AWAY AND HAVE YOUR SEWING CIRCLE GATHERING AT HOME!! 🤬

Yeah, I think it's time to force my way through the rest of Borderlands 4, just so I can put it behind me.
I hate to say this, but aside from all the convenient quality of life changes to the gameplay, this is by far the worst in the series.
The story is nonexistent. The world is boring...

Oh, and how do you suck all the life from an upcoming sequel that fans have been anticipating for 18 years?
*takes deep breath*
SAMUS. DOES. NOT. NEED. COMPANIONS.
She fights alone. She doesn't need any fucking help. She never has.
I'm suddenly getting Other M flashbacks.

Call of Duty was once revered for having some of the most exciting and brutally realistic single-player campaigns a little over a decade and a half ago.
The zombie spinoff shit ruined a lot of it for me.
Now, in 2025, we have the player fighting an evil colossus Michael Rooker.
Just... what? 😂

Ghost of Yotei so far is absolutely phenomenal in every aspect.
Though the way you uncover explored areas of the map severely screws with my OCD... 😐
"Why are you going back? The quest is up north."
"Theres a tiny blip of empty territory I need to uncover."

Trying to teach your cat to play board games with you is trickier than we had anticipated.
Probably shouldn't have started with Trivial Pursuit. 🤔 Poor fella has only been around a year, and expecting him to know what year during WWII the Battle of the Bulge took place is asking a bit much.

Me, after reminding myself that all the ex-friends and deranged family members that I blocked from all social media and my phone back in January are still blocked...
... and have no idea how my life is going.
They will remain blocked indefinitely.
Moral: Disassociating is a good thing. Do it.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is getting temporarily shelved. I'm either hitting burnout from playing the others recently, or the fact that 4 is just insanely monotonous.
The combat is excellent, but I can only take fighting wave after wave of repetitive mobs in a repetitive landscape for so long.

I swear to Christ, if that D.A.R.E. program from the 90s were about video game peer pressure instead of drugs, I would have failed it spectacularly. 😐

I don't think we can hate on the cover art of Switch 2 games enough.
The glaring block of text at the bottom with the QR code is so blatantly unnecessary, it's almost as if Nintendo is trying to mock physical collectors. 🙄

Well.... my first foray into this goofy nonsense, and I'll have to admit, I see the appeal.
My wife strung me along a bit with helpful tips and being my sidekick, but it roped me in linger than I expected. 😅
Level 23 already. I'm so going to regret caving in, I know it.
