Surprised/not surprised to see the price of a loose Silent Hill PS1 disc on eBay. That's what we're doing now? Guys emulate that stuff.

Only Tuesday and I'm looking at the clock like... Is work over yet?

Haven't played the Dragon Quest 1&2 remake yet- probably waiting until Christmas break for that one. Reviews sound positive. I'm still working through the 3 remake- just pulled up to Baramos last night. Challenging!

Dang it Blue Jays. So freaking close. Great series though.

Super excited to get my hands on the Dolmenwood RPG setting... But I still haven't got my shipping info yet.

Still waiting...

I have a little notebook I use for Dragon Quest Japanese practice. I translate the menus and items and then work on handwriting. I wish I could say that some of it is starting to stick, but I'm having a hard time learning the characters...

Sad to hear about the school shooting at Lincoln University. I was there a couple times last year to help digitize school photographs and yearbooks.

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

So Xbox is dead right? Halo on PS5 is weird but here we are.

Was listening to the latest ep of @84play.bsky.social and started watching episodes of the old 1UP show on YouTube. Never watched these during the heyday- but there are so many familiar folks there. These videos really emphasize a Golden Era of gaming in the mid 2000s.

Those Vermont leaves in autumn!

I found some covered bridges local to the area. Love seeing old things still in use.

It's been rainy all week in Vermont. While the leaves have been great I've been unmotivated to really do much.

Ah man forgot about inktober. I guess it's too late now...

Going back to Vermont. I'm amazed by that state and the characters I meet there.

Spent the better part of the day working on an impromptu game jam in pico 8.

Got an animated walking sprite that jumps and lands on collision. Wow. That felt pretty good!

Reading old issues of Famitsu this morning. Surprised to see Super Monkey Daibouken was ¥4900 when it was released. More surprised to find out it sold around 300k copies. Didn't see any reviews of the game in my search. I must've missed it.

Curious to know contemporary opinions of the game.
