Good news! I found an HTML guide I don't hate and finally got around to polishing up a NeoCities page! Right now it's just my social media links and a FAQ, but I can finally start to evolve it a bit.

Snatcher's got some cool vibes but it's also some premium 80s adventure game design. Definitely wanna keep a walkthrough on-hand to get through this one.

Trying out Snatcher and incredibly disappointed there are no Genesis emulators with light gun support. Guess I'm playing without the Konami Justifier.

Wanted to try Elden Ring Reforged's 2.0 update but sadly it is unplayable. Painful stuttering in-game and trying to use DLLs to fix it just tanks the frames before you even get in-game. It even forced my Windows Explorer to restart a couple times.

Man I was just thinking about potential VR headset replacements and Valve are goddamn mind readers. I got other things to buy first but I'm watching you, Steam Frame.

My futile Amazon boycott has been to order things off Ebay since they carry most of the same inventory and a lot of it is second-hand.
Today I found out a package I ordered on Ebay is being shipped through Amazon delivery services.
I can't escape.

I don't think I've ever played an RPG with level design as immaculate as Scarmonde. Game uses shortcuts as exploration rewards instead of progression rewards. Fuckin rules.

Rearranging hotbars in XIV and discovered Superbolide no longer brings HP down to 1. Now it just brings you down to half your max HP.
I even brought my HP below 50% to see what happens and it's just an invincibility spell. The job reworks in 8.0 better be good

Y'know, the neighborhoods & wards of XIV are commonly cited as a tradeoff to limited housing, but being real, how many people actually explore the wards surrounding them? Any time I'm doing housing stuff I'm always laser-focused on my house exclusively.

Tasted some raw MSG out of curiosity and y'all I was NOT expecting it to taste like straight-up meat. Literally just meat salt.

If any social media site shoots me for saying this, give a gun to a trans person.

Huh, both my Twitter accounts got suspended for "inauthentic behavior." Guess I'm stuck here now.

Gave a poke at Scarmonde and it gives a really great first impression! I've been replaying Chrono Trigger so I dunno if I'll get super deep into it at this second, but I absolutely want to see it to the end.
