Ending my day with more Pokemon Legends Z-A and a little ACNH. Putting on a movie as well. Probably Labyrinth or a comfort Ghibli film. Still going through Shingles. Nearly a full week of it. Could go on for who knows how long. Trying to stay positive. Or at least stay calm about it all.

New here? My name is Jeremy 👋🏼

I’m a JRPG player and anime fan.

I’m tackling a backlog of ~300 games.

I post about video games, anime, and daily life.

I self-insert as a Hero protagonist, sorta like Ichiban Kasuga does in Like A Dragon. I love warriors/knights too!

Welcome to my page!

3am. Battling more Shingles pain. Pokémon Legends Z-A is helping distract myself, to some degree at least.

I understand people had issues with Z-A, but I’ll say this for it. It’s fun and entertaining. But to me, most of all, it’s helping me fall in love all over again with Pokémon.

Played it on our classrooms only computer when I was in first grade. We all treasured our day/time slot on the computer just so we could play this game. It led me to begging my parents for video games at home, which is how I got my NES with Mario/Duck Hunt.

Good day my friends. Sleep is elusive but the shingles pain is relentless. It’s slowly easing off. But when it hits, it’s as if every affected nerve ending lights up at once on fire. A pain I can’t even accurately describe. But, gotta keep moving forward.

Really enjoying Legends Z-A so far, too!

Good morning my friends. 240am. Playing some Pokemon Legends Z-A and having coffee. Letting these shingles meds do their work. I hope you all have the day you dream it will be. Feel free to say hello if you need someone to talk to!

As I just turned 40, I’ve learned to accept the kind of gamer I am. And always will be. I’m a game hopper. I run 4 games at a time on average. And it’s how I find joy and comfort in my passion.

Currently running Expedition 33, ACNH, FF7 Remake. Debating on picking up Legends ZA too.

Hey #Pokemon friends. I haven’t played Pokemon since the summer. Went through quite a burn out. But I’m slowly missing it and finding myself wanting to pick it up back is Legends Z-A good? Is it improved? Is it worth the price of admission? Any info is appreciated.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Shingles, day 4. The world should be grateful I cannot achieve super saiyan form. The rage and pain are there. The ability is not.

Going to be hard to finish E33 when my wife just gifted me the FF7 Remake Intergrade on switch 2. Not even Shingles can make me feel bad when I’ve got such a selection of amazing games at my fingertips!

Level up day. It be my 40th birthday. I’m celebrating it by playing ACNH and dealing with the shingles. A real mixed bag of emotions. But, it’s the start of another trip around the sun for me. Gotta stay positive and keep moving forward!

This is our reality, and we all must act accordingly.
The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

ICE kidnapped a child to use as bait, they tear gassed & hospitalized a 6 month old, shot a 16 year old & killed two US citizen. This is NOT about keeping Americans safe and if you still believe that please do us all a favor and get a lobotomy since you're close enough to the brain activity of one.

ShinglesFest/Ice Storm Fest 2026. Animal Crossing New Horizons 3.0 update. Expedition 33. A selection of various anime to catch up on. Snacks. Water/Coffee. A few books. A variety of pain medication.

The perfect (all puns intended) storm of events. Time to barrel through until I see my doc Monday!

I turn 40 tomorrow. How does the universe greet me at a new milestone in my life?

Shingles.

I have effin Shingles.
