This is where I post from:

🎮 My Big screen for gaming surrounded by nerdy collectibles, a stereo bar and record player 🤘

🖥️ Desk (handmade) with my old but reliable computer for streaming TTRPGs etc. 🎲

Come over and chill, I have snacks and wifi.✌️

I like to recycle lower CR enemies from earlier in the campaign. Having the table just steamroll a dozen zombies gets them amped, and it's a fun way to compare their power growth!

Same! Fond memories of the fuzzy radio and Mets highlights.
The morning show is brutal now, it's really garbage. Boomer is worthless.

WFAN 660 has been a staple of my commute since I was a teenager.

Boomer Esiason is such a blowhard for the felon and won't stop spewing Republican rhetoric.

I'm done with that garbage radio station for good. Fuck off with your political grandstanding asshole. What a joke.

Yup, this is precisely why I bought an Anbernic handheld!

Modern-Day Wizard @moderndaywizard.bsky.social · 1d

I've been meaning to play it and seeing your post makes me want to give it a go.
Criminally underrated game.

📢 To any gardeners, landscape designers, and nursery loving people:

🛑 STOP planting Burning Bush (winged Euonymus)

It overwhelms the understory and smothers all natural growth. Look at this forest, not a sapling or regrowth in sight because of this terrible, invasive plant.

This is a killer list of masterpieces!

Good games over have good soundtracks to go with them, but I was thinking about fairly average or underrated video games with soundtracks that punch way above their weight.

This is such a big topic I'll focus on one era at a time! Here are 10 from the NES / Sega Master System era.

Gorgeous and stunning. It's unreal!

I went there a few years ago and would go back in a heartbeat. An absolutely stunning and awe inspiring environment, it feels like you're not on Earth.

Enjoy your trip!

Modern-Day Wizard @moderndaywizard.bsky.social · 4d

I had some of those as a kid, still cool years later. Nice haul!

Been up since 3am.
Both toddlers and wife are sick. 🫠
No time for chores, naps, hobbies.

Watching the Giants game with all the hope in the world right now.

Last mow of the year. The fresh autumn air smells so nice with grass and leaves mixed.

Our broccoli is stubborn as the bees, one of the last sunny days we will have!

Proud of my small town and a HUGE turnout!

Solidarity is strength.

One of the very best combat experiences in gaming. When you get a crazy combo you just decimate!

(Hades 2 is incredible as well, you'll love it if you play.)

Nice collection!
I too play pair most, it just crushes late game with the right jimbos.

The struggle is real.

We understand.

(If that's the creamery I think it is, I would too)

Modern-Day Wizard @moderndaywizard.bsky.social · 6d

Same, I am so glad to see they still cook!

Brutal Legend and Costume Quest were so different yet so impactful to my gaming.

Modern-Day Wizard @moderndaywizard.bsky.social · 6d

Hell yeah, your posts are hilarious. 🤘

Launched a phenomenon indeed, she rapidly entered the zeitgeist. The original was revolutionary at the time, many fond memories of playing with friends. The T-Rex was iconic!

I worked at a Rite Aid in college, and they made us throw out an outrageous amount of good products.
Food, snacks, essentials for babies, clothes; it was so depressing.
