I recently put together my top 50 games, so I figured I would share them with Bluesky.

My process was to dump all the game I've played at least twice since 2020 into a list, remove the ones that were obviously not top 100, then put those 150 or so into pubmeeple, then tweak the list.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends.

Being a Philadelphia fan might be worse for my mental health than existing while trans right now.

Sportsnet+ using the Flyers feed. Now, look Flyers, the Phillies and Eagles have done a significant amount of psychic damage this week, and I don't trust the Flyers at all, but please don't do anything stupid tonight.

Ok, as a person that has mostly ignored Flyers hockey the last 2 years with the chaos of moving countries, this Cates-Brink-Foerster line is really fun.

My directional hearing sucks, and I just walked into our bedroom, and the door creaked behind me and my brain interpreted as someone snoring in our bed, and christ, I did not need that jumpscare.

I see the Rav4 minutes is going every bit as well as the Rav 4th inning.

At least my college doesn't hurt me.

Lehigh beat Columbia 31-7 today to move to 7-0 on the season.

1 seed is too important in the NFL to not root for the Cowboys opponent to lose.

Obviously a tough sports day (on top of a brutal work day), but I really hope Kerkering and his family don't get the Mitch Williams treatment where they had to flee the city for months due to the abuse.

Me but at the nail salon. Poor nail tech always trying to get my hands to relax and it's like 'I'm getting my nails done in public for like the 45th time, what do you mean you want my hands to be relaxed, is that possible for some people?'

Alyssa 🍁 @alyssagambone.bsky.social · 3d

If they lose it's on you for having too much hope.

Man, October has been the worst month ... how is it only the 9th?

Alyssa 🍁 @alyssagambone.bsky.social · 3d

It looks beautiful, but I totally get it. 💜

17’s question tonight.

I have a hypothetical the Cowboys are playing X team if the Cowboys win they make the playoffs but the Eagles get the one seed are you rooting for the Cowboys?

Colour is different -- you can fix that in a couple of months if you hate it.

As someone that chopped her hair for a change after 12 years of growing it out, only go full short if you are certain you'll love it. I don't hate it but I wish took a little less off. Can take a few inches off and see how you feel about it.

1 hour and 45 minutes later, I'm home. Not too painful, waits were all 10 minutes or less, and I got to use my transfer twice so only 1 fare.

Alyssa 🍁 @alyssagambone.bsky.social · 4d

It came after 10 minutes. Last leg!

Now we wait for an 11. App said 5 minutes 3 minutes ago and says 6 now, so we shall see.

There is a name for German officers who just went along with the Nazis for the paycheck or because of duty, not because they agreed with the Nazis.

The name is Nazi … history doesn’t care about your reasons. Any American soldier that complies with an order to occupy an American city is a traitor.

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

Wife: It's International Lesbian Day

Me: It's also International Octopus Day

Wife: They go hand in hand

Me: in hand in hand in hand in hand ...

61 also right on time. Why can’t we have this in the core?

Alyssa 🍁 @alyssagambone.bsky.social · 4d

Something fitting to take a bus for 20 minutes to go from one strip mall to another. Waiting for a 61 or 62.

Alyssa 🍁 @alyssagambone.bsky.social · 4d

Good start … 60 is right on time. Heading out towards Terry Fox to catch a 61 to Tunney’s.
