Nope. I’d take my wife’s name in a heartbeat, though we decided just not to change names.

Translation: “If it doesn’t offend me personally, it’s invalid.”

Yup. This gets me plenty of interviews before people realize I’m not white.

I’m catching up on my backlog of Pokemon games, and finished Black back in February. Got my first shiny in that game, a purple Audino. I literally did a double-take when I saw it, I’d never seen a shiny Pokemon in any of the games I played before.

Hurr hurr “pushing it”.

My first apartment when I moved to Hong Kong was a tiny 1-bedroom with a shtoilet. That’s a combination shower stall, toilet and sink. I could do all my business at once.

I hate it when I buy a game, add it to my backlog, and before I get around to playing it, a remake is released...

Oh god are we finally getting an official release of Seiken Densetsu 3 in English? TELL ME YES AND I WILL BUY A SWITCH, NINTENDO.

I still carry mine around as a pedometer. I don’t know why though, but my step count is corrupted and is set to a permanent -1.

Ugh, this is the kind of bullshit that makes so-called “free speech” conservatives out to be the Davids against the “liberal PC culture” Goliaths. These “free speech” conservatives are about wanting to be able to be huge unrepentant assholes without any real-world consequences to their words and actions. There’s a…
