I post a lot about video games and fishing.
Guess I wasn't a good enough boy this year because John McClane didn't leave me a machine gun under the Christmas tree.

Just saw the trailer for @goldrivproject.fairviewgames.com - instant wishlist. Also fun trailer to watch while planning my next float plane camping and fishing adventure in Alaska, bringing a shotgun with me next time for... not bears..

Just finished my second playthrough of Mass Effect Andromeda - still a solid ass game. Whoever did all the sound design and effects, I hope they got paid a lot cuz hot damn, shit was good.

Dear Reddit,

Today I donated to the needy, helped feed the homeless, and volunteered to help build a hospital that serves the disenfranchised. Am I the asshole?

Me: wanting to get off work to go hit the gym then watch the new Fallout episode.
The bug in our software I unfortunately just discovered at work and that I am now in charge of: "I don't fuckin' think so, ginger bitch"

Just checked out my Steam Replay 2025, looks like Coral Island comes in as the game I played most in 2025, not surprising, kept me busy for months. It was followed by Way of the Hunter, Surroundead, Fields of Mistria, and Generation Zero.

Me to my wife: What muscle group should I target?
Her: I like big quads
Me, who is built like a dorito on match sticks

Another FTP hero shooter as the final reveal at the game awards? Interesting choice. Not surprised to see Expedition 33 swept, phenomenal game!

That millennial feeling. I was 16 when 9/11 happened, pretty tired of living through interesting times.

Every year I vote for No Man's Sky for Steam's labor of love award, every year I am disappointed.

I am STOKED they're bringing back Stargate! I absolutely adore Atlantis, only comicon I've ever been to I went because Joe Flanigan was there. I really hope they have a bit of the campiness (doesn't always take itself serious) that made SG1 and Atlantis so much fun, and what made Universe...well....

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good games up for awards, but I will be really surprised if Expedition 33 does not sweep The Game Awards.

Despite the hundreds of hours into Mass Effect, and even having a Mass Effect tattoo, I just learned today that your companions armor, at least in ME3 as far as I know, have different perks (e.g. +25% weapon damage, +25% power recharge time, etc), they aren't just cosmetic. I have failed Shepard.

I'm just going to assume at this point that the Mass Effect 'Civil War' Krogan image from yesterdays N7 day is just a movie poster or something, Blasto style. Wouldn't put it past Mike Gamble to send us down the wrong path to keep the real story a secret.

Finally got to give the My Time at Evershine alpha a go - aside from slightly odd character models, this bad boy has potential to be great. Definitely like how big the world is, as well as a lot more opportunities to build the community from the ground up, as opposed to just fixing/adding to it

If I have 2 donuts today, I'm just carboloading for the gym tomorrow and I'll be able to lift more is what I tell myself as I sit here in my PJ's enjoying blueberry jelly donut.

My Time at Sandrock has been in my top 5 most played games on Steam for 2022, 2023, and 2024. Getting that itch again to do another playthrough just in time to add it to my top 5 for 2025.

We'll get em next year, Mariners

Ahh, yes, purchasing another GOG game I probably will never play, but hey, Balrum was only $3 and it looks fun.

The only reason I lift weights is so I can look like my hero, George Washington - dude had a lat spread like a fucking dorito, master of bayoneting redcoats.

Dearest mother, the battle of Portland rages on, my platoon is dug in between a bistro and an animal shelter. Earlier, an insurgent on a unicycle rode by, and the locals have been trying to feed us something called 'quinoa and kale salad' which I think is poison. Pray for my safe return.
