Rode my bicycle to work today! That fall weather is coming and I’m so hyped! Bit foggy this morning but it felt good to ride 🥰

My ‘09 Subaru Forester is getting a little long in the tooth and my kiddo just got their learner’s permit. Thinking about handing it down and getting a Nissan Leaf. Never done the EV thing, but if I can get 17+ years out of it like I did the Forester I’d be pleased as punch! 🤔

I sat there for a minute imagining, with all my heart, that that meet madness was actually a fate foreseen. Wasn’t pro gamer enough 😂

The art direction in Vagrant Story is *so* good.

This is sage advise, for sure! One thing I’m trying to be cognizant of is doing things like being visibly excited when one of my teammates has some success. This stuff is work, yes, but we’re all human and could use a little happiness along the way 🥰

Shaky Knees this weekend!! Bummer that Jimmy Eat World had to back out but I’m hopeful the promoters can find a good replacement on short notice! Let’s gooooooo, I love Shaky Knees!

I’m having a blast with this game! The combo system is fun and the menus have become second nature. Wish there weren’t so many rando encounters backtracking through the rooms, but that’s par for the course for a PS1-era RPG. Definitely a good game, though! 🤩

A good middle ground I’ve enjoyed and recommended are those Salzmann spoke reflectors— I put ‘em on every spoke and you can’t NOT see my wheels. Of course, more lighting is better! Headlight and taillight are a must at night 🚨 www.salzmannltd.com/products/sal...

GoldenEye, though… I spent SO many afternoons with my high school pals playing that game. Jeno’s 25¢ microwave pizzas and we boys were set! I had such an awesome life as a kid!

Would you believe I got my PlayStation AFTER the Nintendo 64 as a kid?? Wave Race and Mario blew my mind but I had serious fomo for the PlayStation exclusives. I finally got to play Final Fantasy VII and Tactics! Both systems were amazing in their own ways!

Yesterday I tried out the Nintendo 64 core on my SuperStation One and I’m already looking forward to giving the turbo core a spin to revisit some staples this weekend! I friggin’ love mister FPGA for making all these retro games accessible and fun to play again 🥰🎮

I’ve been enjoying playing “Vagrant Story” on my SuperStation One. It’s fun to revisit the PS1 catalog and try out games I never got to play back in the day. The art direction in this game is stellar and I kinda like “menu and box puzzle simulator 2000” 😅 Can see why this game is a classic!
