LitRPG is my favorite book genre, so this is a greatexcuse to gab about 8 LitRPG series I love.
For fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl specifically, if you want "person from earth dragged into a dungeon" then give The Rise of the Winter Wolf a shot.

Catch me in Hangar 30 @ Magnuson Park at the Renegade Craft fair today and tomorrow from 11a - 5p. I’m in the back left corner at booth 23.
Perfect time to get gifts from small businesses and show support to those bring their own brand of joy to the world. Plus, there’s no shipping in person!

In the process of finding some part time work so I don’t have to rely on crowdfunding/tips as much
BUT, if we hit this goal before the end of the month, I’ll do a holiday baking stream next month! ☃️

I'm so glad I'm not into reality tv. Every season I hear of some terrible choices by showrunners that fuck up contestants and sending home the best talents for extra drama. I'll stick to cartoons I think.

The deli is great, but I should have picked a more basic bread. Their special is a rye kind of bread I don't vibe with. It's good but a bit dry and a bit bitter for me.
Trying out the deli next to the dispensary. Fingers crossed I've found another good sandwich place. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich.

Discovered I had a growing baldspot this morning and I will NOT be one of those guys who clings to their hair, so it's gone. I'll have to get some proper shaving tools in the next few weeks, but for now super short buzz it is.

Valve is making a console. The Steam Machine, a sleek box with the guts of a mid-range PC that runs SteamOS, will arrive in early 2026. Prices TBD, but unlike the failed Steam Machine initiative from a decade ago, this is Valve's own device. Big news www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I...uh...game good. Novice is "you beat the game, go infinite or try other characters" state. The medic was cool and now I have 7 other characters to explore. I'm trying to decide between the twitch streamer or the whale (literal and figurative). But I think that'll be for another day. Do recommend.

The Universal Paperclips folks just put out a new game Q-UP store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/... Incremental coin flipping competitive (simulated) PVP ranked satire. If you get the game read the ToS. It's gold.

Sick of long queues, unfair matchups, and arbitrary reflex tests? Try Q-UP, the coin flipping eSport. It's one part clicker, one part multiplayer strategy game, one part demented capitalism simulator,...

Just rolled credits on Dragon Quest 3 HD, that was certainly a game of all time. I think I'll wait to pick up 1&2 HD until after I play the 7 remake...if there's a good sale. I really wanted to like it more.

Today's plans were supposed to be going to an amazing Halloween party to see friends. Instead I woke up and pulled my guts out so now my costume and the amazing art that my friend made are going to waste. :(

I've been watching a lot of new youtubers covering indie roguelikes and incremental games and it's really obvious which of these guys (and it's always the guys) who consumed *way* too much NorthernLion content before deciding to start their channel. This is in comparison to the RockLeeSmile guys.
