Wholesome lore moment: I took this photo and made it a PFP for Halloween about 9 years ago. a few months later, some random dingus would message me to tell me how cool the mask was.

That dingus was @etoiledoll.bsky.social. This stupid picture was the catalyst for our relationship and marriage.

My favorite game is "Watching T2 with your Husband"

My friends had a surprise party for me ; ;
We went to the skating rink and we all ate shit. Then we went home and ate this cake and watched Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Good day.

Okay, let's get the easy one of the way. Mega Man. I adore the classic series. X and Legends series are solid as well. I'm not going to pick a favorite here. If you forced me to pick some though though, it would probably MM9, MM3, MM7 (IT'S BETTER THAN YALL GIVE IT CREDIT FOR) MMX1, Legends, & MMBN2

Cryptmaster - Sadly, yall slept on this one hard. A typing based Dungeon Crawler filled with riddles and oozing with attention to detail. It's a delightful game. I still hear the Cryptmaster in my head, narrating my life. I'm begging you, please at least try the demo.

Mullet Mad Jack - It's got the frantic non-stop action of Post Void but without being an offense to the senses (though I do like the overload of Post Void, I just can't stream it.)! The movement is so good and it's another game where you can just feel the drive of the creators.

Dragon Quest VIII was my gateway into series along with a ton of other US fans. Try the 3DS version if you can, though I bought the PS2 release when it came out. I wanted a old-school JRPG as a break from FFXI and it was just the right game at the right time. Still one of the most charming games.

Going to include these two together - Robocop: Rogue City and Terminator: Resistance. B+ FPS with RPGlite elements but the love for the properties are using are very clear. If you are a fan of either film series, definitely considering playing them. And they're decent enough even if you aren't.

Just going to include these two together since they're both default go-to games for shutting my brain off or playing with friends. And I spend too much time on them both... Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers 2.

y-yeah.

Speaking of unfriendly games meant to be collaborative efforts, let's get my first MMO here - Final Fantasy XI. I played it on PS2 before swapping to Xbox 360. This game was pretty my entire teenage years for better or worse. I reminisce over this game itself and it's time and place in my life.

Despite the joke on my wife's channel, NES Metroid is not my favorite, But it is one of the very first video games I played. The game gets flak for being playing unfriendly and having no maps, but games being collaborative efforts was popular around this time. Don't feel bad using a guide or map!

Speaking of PC games I enjoyed that are pain in the ass to play on modern systems, let's get Black & White out here. As aPeter Molyneux game, this was both a bit overambitious and overhyped, but still fascinating and probably the only godsim I really enjoy. Never played the expac or sequel tho

Guess I'll start with the first PC game that really stuck in memory for young me: The Journeyman Project. Point-and-click adventure that actually beat Myst to the punch on the whole pre-rendered 3D graphics thing. Was on our crappy Packard Bell PC. The OG is abandonware but the 97 remake is on steam

Sure I'll give this a shot. Why not?
