Lately I have been binging N64 games:

Currently hooked on Majora's Mask.
Never played it as a kid but I am fully addicted now.

I miss the old Zelda formula, it's good to be back

A day later and I can't stop thinking about that insane Lions/Giants game.
Winston was a real treat and those trick plays were legendary!
Another historic defensive collapse.

How is Bowen still employed?

To whom it may concern,

I started playing Balatro seven months ago and most nights play "just one more match".

Four decks left to beat on gold!

This game has legs and we're running deep.

A video pan one of my players took as we began our multi-hour #dnd marathon.

The vestibule is quiet, lined with fallen debris, old barrels of junk and a row of enlarged statues at the end of the hall...

Diablo soundtrack for vibes 🎵

Some pictures from our annual #dnd marathon session.

The Heroes are traversing a Beholder's den, deep in the realm of Shadowfell. A brutal grind.

Vampires, Trolls, Zombies and Helmed Horror akimbo!

My buddies and I get together once a year for an annual #dnd marathon session.
It's become a tradition to give dice sets for reverence and honoring big CRITs.

Pictured is my haul, the DM feasted!

Once a year, my oldest friends and I get together for a marathon #DnD session. 🍻
We've been playing in my campaign for seven years but nothing beats playing in person. 🎲

Saturday is going to be glorious!

Watching Jaxson Dart play stunning #nygiants football only to have four historical defensive collapses in the fourth quarter is pure pain.

Fire Boen, he's a joke and an embarrassment. They look pathetic.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Does anyone have a *somewhat* decent replacement for Spotify? I've been using it for many years and want to import my playlists to an app that isn't actively funding AI and such.

Disney+ is increasing in price yet again!
Now's the perfect time to cancel this junk service, seriously, it's garbage.

Inspired by @retroblastpod.com Starfox episode:

🎮 Out of all my buddies I'm the only one that must play inverted, to this day.

🧠 My brain was wired this way from early gaming on Pilotwings, Starfox, and Turok.

🎃My town had a "Trick or Treat street"

Safe to say, kids are still creative and fun and people will show up to have a good time!
Many smiling faces, cheering families and *incredible* costumes.

🎃Halloween is still alive (undead?)

Today marks the eight year anniversary of my #dnd campaign!! October 2018 we started "for fun".

We've had a pandemic, weddings, children born, and many more lost.

Broken sessions and numerous speed bumps, but we. Just. Keep. Rolling! 🎲

Hades 2 is incredible. Such a fun game.

Addictive gameplay loop.
Fantastic improvements over the first.
A true sequel in every sense.

Go play it and be happy!

WFAN 660 has been a staple of my commute since I was a teenager.

Boomer Esiason is such a blowhard for the felon and won't stop spewing Republican rhetoric.

I'm done with that garbage radio station for good. Fuck off with your political grandstanding asshole. What a joke.

📢 To any gardeners, landscape designers, and nursery loving people:

🛑 STOP planting Burning Bush (winged Euonymus)

It overwhelms the understory and smothers all natural growth. Look at this forest, not a sapling or regrowth in sight because of this terrible, invasive plant.

Good games over have good soundtracks to go with them, but I was thinking about fairly average or underrated video games with soundtracks that punch way above their weight.

This is such a big topic I'll focus on one era at a time! Here are 10 from the NES / Sega Master System era.

Been up since 3am.
Both toddlers and wife are sick. 🫠
No time for chores, naps, hobbies.

Watching the Giants game with all the hope in the world right now.

Last mow of the year. The fresh autumn air smells so nice with grass and leaves mixed.

Our broccoli is stubborn as the bees, one of the last sunny days we will have!

Proud of my small town and a HUGE turnout!

Solidarity is strength.
