This is my childhood Charizard from 2005.
I made a video chronicling our 20-year journey together through every Pokémon region.
Please enjoy.

Grateful that choice paralysis is not something I really experience with video games.
Sure, I don’t know what I’m in the mood to play sometimes.
And I have a lot of options.
But it’s kinda easy for me to just start playing, especially from lists I’ve already made for my goals.

I reached the credits for the Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC today. It adds more to what I already loved about the game.
And like I keep saying, it makes me excited for whatever Game Freak is going to do next.

I’m gonna try to get back into reading. I don’t think I’m ready, but I want to be ready, and that feels like an important step

Writing this year’s gaming review script has me appreciating my voice. I’m lucky that I can differentiate the different voices I use depending on my audience, and that I’m able to use my regular, unfiltered voice. It’s how I’m always able to sound like me, even if my writing style isn’t unique

Seems like I won’t be catching a shundo this year on Pokémon GO after consistently catching at least one every year since 2019.
To be fair, I haven’t played nearly as much (and last year, I caught four lol)
Those are just the odds, baby!

In another life, I’d probably be close to level 80 on Pokémon GO already. Instead, I’m taking my time

Three shinies today on Pokémon Legends: Z-A!
Machop, Trubbish, and Magikarp.
Machop is my first from Hyperspace, and Trubbish spawned during a mission lol

Gonna start playing OSRS on the side while I’m doing other stuff during my break. I gotta reclaim my 99 woodcutting eventually!

The idea of a nuzlocke is so old that some people are already tired of that and want a new challenge lol.
I love Pokémon, but at that point, I suggest trying new games outside the franchise

I so much want to buy a Game Boy Color already.
However.
A Game Boy Camera would also be so cool.

I like digging into my old projects related to video games. Turns out I always looked to video games as inspiration lol. I’m having fun dumping them all onto YouTube even if the audience for them is just me

In college, I recorded the sound that the Game Boy Advance makes when you remove a game cartridge while the system was on.
Then, I used that sound in a song I was composing for one of my classes.
I still love how it came out, so I decided to share!

A day late and an eddie short, but here's one of my favorite clips from my Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough for @cyberpunk.net's 5th anniversary! I was feeling somewhat pressured...

I call everything a Game Boy.
My Switch 2? Game Boy. My Nintendo 3DS or DS? Game Boy. My mom’s crochet things? Game Boy. My cats mouse toys? Game Boy.

I love the shocked face the player character makes in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, especially considering every single person in Lumiose City is a FREAK.
