Be Brave, Barb!

The visuals always remind me of Kirby 64. 🙂

I'm currently eating a burger in the town where I went my to high school, and Quit Playing Games with My Heart just started playing in the restaurant.

Now it makes sense. Can't let the normie unknowingly book the premium seat with no one in front of them for standard price!

Four twin-sticks?! That's too many sticks! 😉

Exactly! I often worry about the gap in the work force we are creating with the current narrative that you can't get a job as a software engineer. Fewer people will develop these skills, which is not necessarily a problem, until some of these lofty AI promises start to crumble. That's a scary day.

These statements were made in a group chat of professional engineers over the past two days. They make me feel ill. 🤮 I don't want to be a part of the "write slop without care until it's worth doing well" ecosystem. This isn't about being replaced, it's about conscious use of limited resources. 😓

These photos were taken approximately 18 minutes apart. It's safe to say I've finally found a phenomenal bowl of shoyu ramen again. 🤤

This is one that I find especially surprising I haven't found time for yet.

Here's one I really need to get to someday.

Definitely maybe. 😉

Let's start with a big one. 😅

I'm honestly curious what this will reveal...

This game is *definitely* not an easy one. I think I played the demo/first level 2-3 times before committing to it, and I struggled through most of the boss fights, but oh my goodness is it worth it. Whenever you get around to it, of course. 😁

Good to know we're less appealing than 200+ "hentai" games. 😡

For what it's worth:

1. I think you're a cool human being.
2. Nothing about this aspect of your life will change that opinion.

You do you, man. You're awesome.

If we could just stop normalizing the name Grayson for dogs, I'd really appreciate it.

Every now and then, the city of San Francisco sneaks up on you.

Update: two conventions and a 100% playthrough of Clair Obscur later, we're still making our way through Saru no Gundan. Some of the episodes have been really slow, but the cheese factor is dependably delightful.
