The DS is one of my favorite consoles ever. So many incredible experiences and phenomenal games. The four that come to mind are games that excel on the DS: while you can absolutely play them elsewhere (via re-releases or emulation), there's a real magic that comes from the dual screen experience.

Sure, I may have spent nearly six figures for my minor in art, but have you considered that I won a $25 gift card at work because of it? So who's really coming out ahead, here?

33. The Sins of Lord Lockwood by Meredith Duran
Marriage-in-trouble books are hard to do well, but damn Meredith Duran absolutely kills it. Both sides have wronged the other, both are hurt and dealing with their own issues and each other, both have to forgive and be forgiven. Just a great book.

32. Asunder by Kerstin Hall
I joked to my book club that if I had a nickel for every book we read where a guy got turned inside out, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
(Really enjoyed Asunder, though!)

A five minute face/upper body sketch and then about twenty 30-second hand gesture sketches as I slowly get back into drawing.

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say dick cheney died when he was out hunting and tried to shoot a bird in a tree but missed and hit a big branch which fell on his dick and smashed him flat and then the bird pooped on his head. don’t say stuff like that

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!
Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

Also, fun fact, finally noticing that my NES screenshots (and only NES) were being stretched the hell out had me spending several days digging through RetroArch settings to figure out what was causing that (turns out it was a screen filter on top of the shader I left on, whoops!)
As someone who has only ever beaten Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! by decision, it felt pretty good to finally TKO him. Need to work on trying to hit the KO, but I'm pretty satisfied for now.

I was made to watch a video today that was the most excruciating hour and a half of my life and that's including the time a roommate made me watch all of "Freddie Got Fingered" with him.
