I regret to inform the internet that my list of planned Dual Blades to craft is now at 20.
Finally putting some time into Monster Hunter Wilds.
Do I like this game as much as World or Rise? No.
But does it make me feel happy MonHun feelings? Yes.
(I’m also using a weapon I normally avoid in these games, so that’s been a learning experience)

#RollCredits on Pokémon Legends ZA
This is an… okay Pokémon spinoff game that isn’t excellent like its predecessor Legends Arceus, but has some good character designs and music tracks. Not a modern classic, but not a garbage fire either.
(I beat this game on Saturday but forgot to post)

I’m currently building a Magic: The Gathering party deck! It’ll finally be complete when I pick up the FF1 scene box tomorrow.
(It’s full of Warriors, Wizards, Clerics, and Rogues, plus cards that give me bonuses for using those creature types. And lots of removal spells.)

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

This is a very charming modernization of a classic, but… it’s still a grindy one-character RPG, heh. But I had a pretty good time.

Just finished Batman & Robin: Year One by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. 12-issue limited series that finished last month.
Banger of a book. The hyper-stylized art fits the tone of the story. I love these versions of the key characters. Easy recommendation to anyone that's Batman-curious.

Well, according to the online card sellers, today the bird is worth $50 and my stamped cub is over $80. Feels pretty good.
Well, I only went 1 win and 2 losses this time around, but most of those matches went down to the wire.
And I got the mythic bird spirit and a 2025 imprinted badgermole cub! Those are both $30+!.

On this day 200 years ago Goku saved the Native Americans from the Red Ribbon Army. They asked what they could do in return. Goku said "Im hungry", and thus the first Thanksgiving was had.

Final Fantasy was NOT named as such because it was Square or Sakaguchi’s “last chance” to make a successful game.
Producers liked how the letters “FF” sounded in Japanese, so they brainstormed different word combinations. The game was almost “Fighting Fantasy,” but that was already trademarked.

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?
