I am an old nerd who hates filling these out. Among my mess of interests, I play gacha games like ZZZ, HSR, and Wuthering Waves.

Blue Protocol Star Resonance (BPSR) is pretty fun - sort of an interesting blend of FFXIV and Genshin Impact for gameplay. I haven't spent enough time to see if it's a 'real' MMO like FFXIV or more like an adventure game with co-op but it seems more MO-like. Great artwork and audio so far.

Quite lucky today - I had five pulls from finishing up the events, and got Iuno on the first. I haven't had a five star pull since Lupa and Cartethya (though I did manage to snag both). I love Jianxin to bits, but sometimes I need a real healer/support.

In my heart I'm a nomad, though I've managed to pin myself like an insect to a specimen board. As a teen, I imagined my life wandering the world at whim. Of course, one can't always tell what constraints a choice will make when you make it, and so my nature has been suppressed time and again. 1/

Saw Polyphia, Korn, and System of a Down last night at the MetlifeArena. Heck of a show!

Today marked my 1 year anniversary with Zenless Zone Zero. I've got a lot of conflicted feelings about it, but if nothing else I stuck with it for a year.

Lastly, to finish my trio of unrelated posts I'm thinking of messing around and working on some lo-fi / EDM-style tracks. I used to use GarageBand back when macOS was still OS X, but I haven't touched anything since. Is there a comparable Windows package that people have used and recommend?

I just found out my partner got me tickets to a System of a Down / Korn show the day after my birthday (which is just after ANYC). I haven't seen Korn live since, uh... 1994 or 1995, maybe, and I don't think I've seen SOAD live. We'll see how this old man handles it.

I have a portable 13" screen that I use as a tablet - it has a decent digitizer, supports MPP 2 pens, and has a USB-C interface and can pass through power (which is handy). What sucks, though, is trying to find a decent length (2 meters+) USB-4/DP Alt cable w/o resorting to Amazon.

I've been playing Wuthering Waves, trying to get well into Chapter 2 so I can participate in the Rinacita content (I've mainly explored Jinzhou and the rest of Huanglong and did the grinds for Resonator materials), and less playing ZZZ but my goodness Astra, Miyabi, and Yixuan are quite the combo.

Is the so-called 'high precision movement' not a thing on consoles or mobile? The character's stride adjusts (lengthening or shortening) so that a foot always lands on a stair tread - at least in Sixth Street and Lumina Square. This is not the greatest screen capture but it shows it on the PC.

I think I understand where the inspiration for the Ethereal "eye" comes from in early Zenless.

I loved Cyberpunk:Edgerunners, even though it breaks my heart to watch it. I can't even listen to the soundtrack without feeling all the feels.
My heart's not broken for David, but for Lucy - David is strong enough to sacrifice himself but not to stay with her, like she really needs. 😢

Finished the resort story in ZZZ 2.1.... and pulled for Yuzuha even though I hadn't planned on it. I did manage to get her in 20 pulls, but of course it looks like she really needs her W-Engine... now I have to decide whether to pull for that (my luck on that banner is always terrible) or wait.

Normally, I take Friday off since I do a lot of maintenance work for clients on Sunday. Unfortunately, with the 98F / 35C temperature (109F / 40C apparent w/ humidity), running my water-cooled gaming desktop is not gonna happen.
Thankfully, it's suddenly become overcast and I can hear thunder... 😅

I like co-op games the best. This is clearly reflected in my top 5 on Steam (the first 4 of the 5 are games I play with my partner; we play a few others on our Switch, and Minecraft, but I don't have good usage stats on those.
