My solution was to get the Helminth charger, the infected mutant version of the Kubrow. Hard to love a face like that. Named mine Melanoma, and don’t feel too awfully guilty about leaving it on the ship. I prefer the little sentinel robot companions. They tend to die a lot too, but at least I can match their colors to…

I had the GBA version, but I’ve never played the original so I don’t know how they compare. I’m hoping more old JRPGs like this get a rerelease on the Switch.

I miss Club Nintendo rewards. I got some really nice stuff back in the day: some decent quality tote bags, a t-shirt, a *different* Mario pin set, these cool gold foil playing cards, and more. I mean, I can see why they stopped. It had to have been very expensive to make and mail all that crap for free. But the fan in…

Dammit. I read that “AAA” up there and heard it as read by Jim Sterling: TRIPLE AAAAYYYYYYY!!!1

Shit. Now Elder Scrolls games will be timed exclusives to the Xbox.

I work at a big box retailer, and we sold out of PS5 pre-orders before we even opened. I clocked in and checked my employee notices on our computer system, and there was one to take down any in-store flyers mentioning the pre-orders. We’re supposed to “direct” people to online pre-orders... But I don’t know how that…

I would spend way too much money on these. I have, in fact, spent a tad too much already on the gachapon machine at my local GameStop when they had a Sailor Moon cameo set. 

I prefer the term “monster fucker.”

I like it, but then the only console I actually play is my Switch. My other platform is a PC with a fairly standard black case (filled with soooo much RGB).

At first I was like “Eh, he’s ok.” Then I scrolled down and saw his face and now I'm a believer. 

I think I was playing for nearly 10 hours straight to beautify my island...and now I feel bad. XP Oh well. If anyone’s interested, I’m just starting to grow golden roses around my homage to the Two Trees of Valinor (which is also the name of my island).

OMG, I agree with everything you said here. I still find the battlefield gameplay of FE enjoyable, but I got so bored by the classroom management of Three Houses I still haven’t finished my first playthrough.

Thanks! I finally figured that out. Apparently one of my sisters knew ages ago and was holding out on me. I got the camping sign this morning. 

Omg, I am totally doing something like this with my lighthouse. I’ve just dropped it on my beach because I didn’t know what to do with it, and I hated it. This gives me another project to work on. Right now I am working on sprucing up my campsite. Apologies for the crappy cell phone pics:

I’ve started watching island tour videos for design ideas, and some of them just blow me away. Some people have spent hundreds and hundreds of hours customizing their islands.

I did terraform my island to access my secret beach...and I turned it into a site of ritual sacrifice, complete with blood stain patterns on the ground. Now I’m going to have to move it, because the well I placed there is right in front of Redd’s gang plank and I’m too lazy to push it aside each time he visits. 

I have a decent mix of animals on my island. (Phoebe was one of my original 2 animals, actually.) I have 2 squirrels, Sheldon and Filbert, Tangy the cat, Flurry the hamster, Diana the deer, and an eagle named Keaton who is my least favorite villager just because he’s kind of generic. I also have a small stockpile of…

I actually had a conversation along these lines with my mother this morning. She’s retired, but still feels like she should do something productive with her time. But she also tires easily because my father is bipolar and going through one hell of a manic phase right now, and he’s emotionally draining to deal with.…

What makes it even worse is that you start to get duplicate Bunny Day DIY recipes. I was hoping that after I found them all I’d actually get more of the cherry blossom stuff, but no. I just want the damned cherry blossom purse recipe, Nintendo...

HE WAS WAITING FOR ME OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. My house is on the top of a hill, nowhere near my Resident Services building, and he was waiting outside for me. WTF.
