I talk about books, sports, and video games.
I am begging you at this point

Can we please stop trying to rehabilitate Marjorie Taylor Greene?

It is wrong that she has received threats (from her own party). No one should face that.

She is also still a fascist and a bigot and I'm glad she is leaving Congress.

Can we just stop?

They totally threw Bill Clinton under the bus with photos of him being inappropriate with teenagers in the files. I'm a big fan of him being thrown under the bus I just think we all know there's a whole more folks who can fit under that bus.

No one needs backstory for Gaston
More oratory for Gaston
These things are not mandatory for Gaston…
I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory

he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

Every time I think it may finally be time to play Pokemon Emerald for the first time (I have played Sapphire numerous times to completion) I remember Roselia is not available in game and resolve myself to never play it once more.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

Trails in the Sky 1st finished at 67.5 hours

It is my game of the year

Trails in the Sky 2nd is now my most wanted game, surpassing Dragon Quest VII Reimagined

I have waited nearly 14 years to play and complete this game and it did not disappoint for one single second.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Approaching 20 hours in Trails in the Sky. Still have a little bit of game left that is not new to me before I hit the point I stopped at in the PC version, sometime in chapter 2. Really enjoying this game. December is packed with Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Octopath Traveler 0, and the Legends ZA DLC!

I miss the old days when Black Friday ads leaked 4-6 weeks ahead of time and you could adequately plan out what you were going to try to buy and from where.

Here we are less than two weeks from the day and it feels like not much is truly known.

Trails in the Sky FC remake is damn good. Finished up the prologue today and am enjoying it immensely.

Octopath Traveler 0 demo was pretty good. Maybe waiting for a sale on it though since the rest of 2025 is pretty packed in terms of video games for me.

40 hours into DQ2 and I have arrived at the end of the main game.

60+ for the 1+2 package and I have to say these are incredible.

Finishing the main game tonight and doing postgame tomorrow.

After that I will be 6/10 on my 40th anniversary Dragon Quest mainline replay extravaganza! Next up DQ7R!

December 10 release date for the Legends ZA DLC is sooner than I expected. Definitely going to need to train up a new squad for this DLC. Thinking all alphas and all EV trained. Need the best of the best!

Nintendo shop app playtime is inaccurate for me on Sunday and I am guessing the time change is to blame for this.

Doing the lighthouse in Dragon Quest II.

I cannot tell you how many playthroughs of this game got to this point and stopped because I hate this dungeon so much.

John Roberts and the illegitimate Supreme Court are enabling this every step of the way! We’ve had a king since immunity for official acts entered into the equation!

Gaming goals for the rest of 2025:

- Finish Dragon Quest II remake (about 15 hours in, just got to sigil hunt)

- Finish FFT (very early in Chapter 1, did a few battles and stopped for Pokemon)

- Finish Trails in the Sky remake (still in prologue)

Should be able to do two of those for sure!

Degen status engaged for DQ1

16.5 hours in less than two days. At the final dungeon.

Great game. Looking forward to DQ2. I am hopeful that these modern remakes make people appreciate these games more.
