At least with the Blue Jays in it, it’ll be easier to find here 😂

(I mean, if the Jays take it all the way, I’m not gonna be sad either tho, to be fair ;))

Elbows Up? 😅

Though for the record, I’m rooting for the Mariners too. Toronto is on the other side of the continent and I love Seattle ❤️

How ya doin’? 😂

But I can’t deny feeling safer as a family now that we live in a place with clear federal legal protections for queer families, solid gun control laws, and universal public healthcare (even if it is a very strained system 😬).

Was our decision to move politically-motivated? Not entirely. As a dual citizen, with solid ties on both sides of the border, we wanted to give our whole family a chance to experience being Canadian (and getting Mary on the path to 🇨🇦 citizenship)

I’d expect nothing less 😂

Stressful but most of the logistics are finally done… I think 🥴

I was just listening to a podcast that mentioned the Jays were top of the league and wondered how you were doing 😅

It is absolutely the correct burger cheese when you are looking for a classic standard burger

DS2 is the closest we’ve even been to MGS6, imo
July 20, 2025 at 3:47 PM
In many ways, Death Stranding is just more Metal Gear Solid, since Kojima got pushed out of Konami and lost control of it after MGSV. The story IS interesting, but you might need some glossaries/recap videos to really follow it 😂

(For the record, I DID squeeze all the gameplay I could out of DS1 before starting DS2 because I enjoyed it so much, so that’s absolutely a way to go if you’re liking it)
July 20, 2025 at 3:44 PM
DS2’s opening sequence might be one of the best things I’ve seen in a game to date. IMO, once you have a feel for the gameplay and story premise of DS1, it’s not essential to play all the way through before DS2 unless you just want to squeeze all the story and/or gameplay out of the series.

For me it’s more of a vibes game. The story is meaningful, even in its obtuseness, but it’s the gameplay, graphics, and music that won me over. I’m half way through DS2 now and it’s so good. If you’re enjoying the gameplay of DS1, keep on keeping on.
July 20, 2025 at 3:39 PM
I mean… kinda? But it’s a vibes game for me. If you’ve experienced Kojima’s past work, you’ll probably be able to track the story somewhat, if only because you’ll be experienced with just letting the weird wash over you 😅

Jet Lag: The Game brought me in, and now I’m hooked, it’s a great service. It and @dropout.tv are the two services I feel happiest about subscribing to.

It’s the best show on TV right now.

Yeah, I could definitely have kept it, but I decided not to bother messing around with it. I was assigned a new alias from the start and decided to just stick with that.
March 3, 2025 at 6:13 PM
Alas, I'm pretty sure I did not. I got a new alias too, and not just because of the name change.
