#RollCredits on Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake
This is a very charming modernization of a classic, but… it’s still a grindy one-character RPG, heh. But I had a pretty good time.

Just finished Batman & Robin: Year One by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. 12-issue limited series that finished last month.
Banger of a book. The hyper-stylized art fits the tone of the story. I love these versions of the key characters. Easy recommendation to anyone that's Batman-curious.

Highlight of my Thanksgiving night was spending time with these two gremlins.

Sadly, Bloodbath & Beyond’s streak of success ended last night, with a 6th-place finish after being in 3rd going into the final.
A few of our wrong answers concerned singer Olivia Dean, the sun on the Argentinian and Uruguayan flags, and the historical origin of jigsaw puzzles.

lol I beat Kirby’s Dream Land on the Switch GB emulator.
I won’t count this game as a 2025 got’im because I’ve beaten it probably 20+ times over the years. It takes maybe 30 minutes.

FIVE NEW SHRINES PLUS FOUR CARDS OF SHRINE SEARCH SYNERGY MY GUY.
…and honestly other than Life’s Origin, shrines are cheap. You can buy the Kamigawa ones (other than Life’s Origin) for like 25 cents each.

My girlfriend and I drew this spirit bear and five Shrine cards in our packs last night, so now I'm going to try and make a five-color Shrines deck. I don't make the rules.

I really like Fire and Ice as superheroes, but wish they had better comics than these.
(Love them in the 2000s Booster Gold series)

Congratulations. I am now 4x more likely to watch Predator: Badlands. This sounds dope.
This feels the same as the anti-woke crowd complaining about “Mad Max: Fury Road” or 2025 Superman, two movies I love.

On a nature walk with my partner. Found a very well-camouflaged bug.
(I think it’s a juvenile jumping spider but I’m not 100% sure. Little guy is tiny. Maybe a centimeter long.)

Oh dip, I'm late with my Blood, Bath, and Beyond update! We won. Again. Fifth time in six weeks. We're the heel champions of the bar now.
A few of our good gets this time were Nelson Mandela's prisoner number, how to cook tamales, and the many names of the Lady of the Lake.

In around 3 weeks RGG Studio is holding an event where fans can pay the equivalent of around $980 US to MARRY the Like a Dragon character of their choice.

I started out as a Pugilist because I like FF Monks, but as I played more I ultimately became a tank main* to this day.
*Blog post about this topic coming very soon.

This went buttery-smooth. Probably my easiest Typhon fight.
I got a 765-damage Hephaestus blast every 2.2 seconds and 310-damage Zeus blitzes about as often 😂.
