I think I say this every time I come back to Vancouver, but I would love to live here for like 18 months or so and just figure out what it’s like to be an adult in Canada.

What games do I want for 2026? Switch gams optimized for Switch 2 and that’s really about it.

Christmas Eve just starting in Vancouver. Everyone still asleep. Love seeing tweeds from Japan friends. Life is good.

I’ve played like 30 min of video games here In Canada in the last week and a bit.

The boxed copy of Sin and Punishment I was eying got sold. Now only overpriced once’s on メルカリ remain.

Enjoying my time in Canada. A little hard balancing everyone’s expectations, especially when we all say we don’t have any.

I’m listening to Edwin’s Alive. I guess only Canadians know this song. Much Music did so much for national identity in the 90’s.

Part of the joy of Analogue products to me is cosmetic. And that makes the 3D great too as the cartridges are also cosmetic. For the Super NT, I love the Mother 2 look do sure, but I would buy Cool Spot for the balance it brings to a room. Nintendo 64 games? Undecided. Sin and Punishment?

Already thinking about how I want to do 2026. Same as I want to do every year in many ways. Feel more motivated this time though.

You know, when it came out in 1997, I held Wild ARMS in as high of regard as Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2.

I won’t be able to fully shut off, but enter the three week vacation! Canada Monday!

I’m remaking my office downstairs and I’m deciding between a TV stand that’s minimal with planks and goes to the ceiling: lots of room for consoles, or one that has eight different cupboards where the doors open up and slide in: so you can only see one console at a time.

I really gotta get to Clair Obscur next. Should’ve played it when GamePass wasn’t stupid expensive. It’s stupid expensive now, right?

Little bud didn’t wake up once until 3:30. Was great. And then he didn’t go back to sleep. He’s joining me for tea and Nina Simone time.

I need a new profile pic. Do we still call them avatars? I wanted to say I need a new avatar.

Gonna not bring any gaming stuff to Canada and just a few books and my 2026 techo to set it up all nice.

Today marks two years at my current company. in terms of what I do (sole HR for a Japan office, and more upper level HR for other countries), it’s been my dream job. Hoping for another good year.

Very easily got a white Analogue 3D. Shipping was 50, not the 80 I expected. Happy gold is sold out so I can’t be tempted.

Forgot how this game was acquired, but not everyone and their dog could get it.

Almost done work for the year, and then going back home with my son for the first time. Looking forward for less stress. Hopefully parents can look after our son sometimes and we can remember what it was like to have a life.

More games have come ❤️

It was really a Nintendo year for me.
