Bad news: I bought too much apple cider to serve to trick-or-treater parents
Good news: I guess it’s time to get a carboy and try my hand at making hard apple cider finally

I think I may be the only person that wants a new game in the style of Shinobi 2 on the game gear

Did anyone go to Toys R Us back in the day to play Pokémon? That shit was cool. I wonder if that’s a similar energy to those with active local gaming scenes, like fighting games.

I made an espresso with lemonade for my wife, and then wondered what would happen if I went even further and used tang. It looks nice albeit unnatural. It was meh, stick to lemonade or coke or tonic or maybe if you have fresh oj or something since that was a thing.

For those who know what pit beef is (which is basically anyone in Maryland) you should get a pit beef sandwich today. My friend, who loved pit beef sandwiches, passed away several years ago, and I try to get one every year on what would have been his birthday.
Long live pit beef day. Thanks Lee.

Revisiting the first elder scrolls game I played in oblivion remastered has been a joy. I should really dig out my 360 and finish shivering isles on my initial play through file for those achievements…….

It was nice to be able to dig into games this weekend. Lots of Blue Prince and some Sea of Stars. Was nice to feel like I had more time to dig into an RPG instead of just a few runs of a roguelike

There's no better way to derail my entire day than to tell me at 9am you want to have a meeting at some point today but give me no indication when this might happen

Went hard on 33 immortals this weekend. I think it's fun but I would love if there was more variance in runs. Also, it's likely a skill issue but it seems like the difficulty spike to the harder difficulty is huge. All that being said, I'm looking forward to playing more

With one day left on the steam sale, I have to see what RPGs imma pick up. I remember seeing @jazzlikestogame.bsky.social talking about the saga games so maybe I’ll see where to start with those… maybe the Suikoden remaster too….
Any other suggestions?

… it’s very disappointing that Balatro via xcloud and game pass requires a controller and doesn’t support touch controls for mobile

Doom 2016 was maybe the finest FPS game I've played. Pretty much a masterclass on how to deliver a power fantasy imo.

With TikTok going away I guess I’ll have to mine dopamine from bugging the shit out of the dogs while they try to nap. That and probably sugar

New rule: I cannot make bolognese sauce and not be in the house the entire time. I thought the temp was low enough and left for the gym, but the milk reduced out and burned before my partner got home. Sooo freezer pizza tonight

I need to figure out how to tell my brain to stop trying to learn things super fast. Skimming through docs just makes me have a half understanding of the content and leads to more errors than if I had just taken my time to be deliberate in the first place.

Why is it that so many gas stations in MD seem to have random taco shops in them and why isn’t this a thing in all states

I still remember the first year I learned about AGDQ (and speedrunning). I spent a very large part of the week with the marathon up on one monitor and ffxiv on the other grinding spiritbinds and farming wool to buy materia to blow up trying to get max det and crit stats on my relic. what a time lol

I installed Final Fantasy 11 the other day. I don't know why I'm going on this journey but here we go. I realize it's a _very_ different experience than it was in 11's prime, but I still want to see what it's all about since I burned out on 14 a bit ago
