He/Him. Software Developer. I play fighting games badly.
Man, I forgot how grindy SMT games can be. And by the third, big map in SMTV:V, I'm getting kind of sick of running around exploring. This one has a lot of vertical too.

Realized today that the Game Genie only let you enter three codes because you only get three wishes... okay, it might not be that, but it's funny

With how streaming services are going, I might go back to buying physical blurays. I have a house now, so it's not like space is an issue anymore. I would probably need to get a small bluray player though.

Man, why is life so hard for my wife? Just mentally and physically she is exhausted and frustrated. Her mobility is so hampered and it's just so hard to see her like this. I wish I could do anything to help her out, but I can only try and add moral support.

Today was wild. Mostly good, but Eva was teething so hard she broke 101 temp and napped for like 3 hours. Hopefully her teeth come quick

Eva is 18 months old now. It felt so short and really long at the same time.

Hmm, not sure how I feel about Kirby Air Riders. Racing seemed okay, but I wasn't really feeling City Trial at all.

Do you know how many people tried to argue with me that SNK's new owners were good for the company because now SNK had money?
Now they're owned by someone evil AND they have no money.

FGC folks - this is who bought EVO, runs the Esports World Cup, and is throwing obscene amounts of money at Fatal Fury / SNK games.
We cannot support this.
Few things in this world are untouched by evil, but this is a very unambiguous case for a boycott.

Eva threw up on me again. Hopefully this clears out all the phlegm in her tummy.

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

Hmm, might have to start thinking about putting my cat to rest before too long. Poor guy is starting to have more frequent seizures, clot passing fits, and can't seem to groom himself at all anymore.

Man, Sengoku Basara is still a great time. Wish Capcom would make another one. Yukimura-den's version of Date Masamune is still probably the best version of him, but 4 Sumeragi is super good too

Eva is sniffly and is probably getting a cold. Can I not have a break for just a little bit?

Man, I really wish Fire Emblem didn't have semi-random stat growth on level up. It's super deflating to play and get miserable increases 3 levels straight.

Hmm, maybe I'm burnt out on games temporarily, or my depression is making it hard to engage with games.

Hmm, Wild Arms Alter Code F wasn't really grabbing me. Might try a different JRPG series instead.

Oof, Eva threw up again during the night but apparently didn't make a fuss about it and went back to sleep. Everything was a mess this morning.

Eva threw up again. Only once, but I think her stomach is still sensitive. Gotta be more mindful of what we are giving her for about a week.

Majora's Mask done! Definitely not my favorite and I didn't like it as much as OoT. I think OoT is just better designed, but I appreciate what MM was trying to do. It's okay to try different things! It just didn't land with me.

Started Majora's Mask 3D. Never really played it. I tried it once or twice when I was a kid, but I never even completed a temple.
