My thoughts, not any one else's.
It was a rough day just because, y'know, the world.

This pull from my Riftbound event tonight was... really nice (my 3 packs also had a Thousand-Tailed Watcher which is no slouch either!)

So over the weekend, my roommate and I held our first “Shit You Should See” movie night, showing “Sorry to Bother You”. We even did little themed cups to go with our mixed drink of the night, “White Voice”.

Can’t wait to do our next one, with a different, surprise movie nominated by our attendees!

I too, wish to have a take on Square Enix's desire to have gen AI to automate QA, and I'll toss in a bonus one.

Take 1: See gif.
Take 2: I've seen some bug reports that appears to be either auto-translated or written with gen AI. Spoiler, they aren't great.

I also got very focused pulls, but I will say mine were more… unhinged, honestly.

Thinking about him today.

No particular reason, I think it's fair to say I could pick a reason all within the "2025" category if I wanted to.

I continue to look at Q4, overall, and the classic came to mind.

I put Teemo formally on the front of my team (I'd been playing him as Sidekick for Vi before tonight) and I'm gifted the name of the game.

Sometimes a deal with the devil pays off, I guess?

I know I'm still looking for my next role, but even I'm not at this point, LinkedIn. Chill.

Cleaned the apartment yesterday and made the good popcorn for a board game night that became a movie night.

Good decisions across the board, tbh.

Seeing a Rider panel at LA Comic Con is wild.

And in sight of our game’s booth. Double wild.

At LA Comic Con? Swing by the MIX area in west hall and check out the demo of Voyagers of Nera! I’ll be here all day :D
September 27, 2025 at 7:06 PM
So I'm gonna be demoing Voyagers of Nera at LA Comic Con this weekend in the MIX Area.

... I had to install the evil onto my phone once again, though. A high price.

In addition to excellent Production and QA Support, I bring solid memes to game teams. For context, the game I'm working on has Skimmers that function like Surfboards, and if I'm gonna pitch post-early-access mechanics, I will use memes.

(this was approved to share publicly and I stand by my jokes)

It used to bug me to no end they *literally* have it on the license plates, and I know it's been talked about since the early 2000s at LEAST.

I’m here for the esports this time, y’all.

I personally liked that I found out when the application wouldn't submit, so I opened it in a new tab to see it had been closed/removed.

The site I was pointed to with it still had the link that no longer worked, too. Ooof.

Doing some reading this afternoon and well ain’t this a reminder to start.

I’m still job hunting but I got some more out today. Woo?

I've been playing the Persona gacha game totally F2P and getting some pretty good rolls. I just met this guy. He is now my best friend. That is it.

...if mutuals are playing I'd be down to join a Companio but I'd probably need to change my name from the default; I was in it for the story anyway ;_;

I am frequently surprised by random games I find on the arcade cabinet.
July 4, 2025 at 9:33 PM
First limited didn't go well. Second one worked out for me.

Thank you Lightning + Buster Sword. Love you both.

I bought the single for a commander deck and I’ll just say there’s counters as far as the eye can see with my favorite himbo

I was not disappointed. This paid for the box alone.

(to be fair most of it is in that Ancient Copper Dragon in the upper left BUT STILL)
June 9, 2025 at 2:24 AM
Staying home because I cannot people right now, but treated myself to a box of FFxMTG. Come hang out and watch the disappointment?
