I finally got a copy of Fire Emblem: Three Houses for Christmas. I am indeed playing like a little sociopath, telling my students what they want to hear, just as you guys forewarned. :P

Am I the only one stoked for the new Dark Alliance game? That series (and Champions of Norrath, which was practically the same game) was a lot of fun.

As someone with an art degree, can I declare that fine art should be cancelled? Because clearly art is a mistake.

I enjoy Opal’s moxie and the way she just steamrolls Bede into becoming her successor.

I’ve been planning to take March 20 off to play Animal Crossing since they announced the release date.

You’ve triggered my Hellfire Penninsula PTSD. Some nights I can hear that metallic howling in my dreams...

Sometimes, just sometimes, video game fans drastically overthink things. Never change.

Bullshit. That guy was the Quentin Tarrantino of the afterlife: he put his actor at risk of physical harm in order to fulfill his “vision.” I vacuumed him up with glee.

Ye olde Catwoman is super disappointing. 

Spice agrees: I should be taking many pictures of her.

Yes! I still play Overwatch, and every year the Halloween event is my favorite by far. I love the way they Halloween-ify certain maps. That alone pretty much makes it worth it for me. (And yes, their Halloween skins are always amazing.) 

Good to know, I guess. 

Rep grinds to unlock races suck. I resubbed in summer of 2018 and ground out the rep to get the lightforged draenei and (the ones I really wanted) the void elves. I would have gladly paid to unlock them, but I suspect Blizzard makes more money by forcing you to spend time grinding for rep, therefore keeping your…

I was just starting to consider re-subbing to my WoW subscription for the umpteenth time when this all happened. I’ve been feeling that itch to play an MMO again. Maybe I’ll try that Final Fantasy MMO instead.

This isn’t too awfully bad for people who primarily game on a desktop PC, but it’s much tougher for those who use a gaming laptop. Some of the low end ones only have single 256gb SSDs. I know you can technically run games off an external hard drive, but I can’t imagine that’s ideal for a large open world game like…

Those Overwatch skins are really nice. I'd be more tempted if I played either character.

Good. Now we can police and regulate men’s bodies the way we do for women. Think of the children, you heartless drunk monsters!

Oh, wow. Nearly my whole life? I guess one of the cringiest things I can remember happened when I was in 6th grade. I was in the school theater on a low wall, waiting for a show to start. A boy I did not know jumped up next to me and asked what was up. I said, “You. You jumped up next to me.” He turned and exchanged a …

So the implication is in Japan there is no stage between youth and middle age. Explains a lot of anime characters, I guess.

I’m so sorry. I had to go through what sounds like a very similar situation last summer. My 15 year old cat, whom I’d had since he was a kitten, was dying of lymphoma. I had to decide when to take him to the vet when I judged he was suffering. It’s so hard, but you know that your pet trusts you to take care of them—eve…
