i really do like Zelda the whole ... thing of it

Eric Bailey @ericvbailey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I haven't played BioShock in about ten years. Should I replay it before trying BioShock 2 (never played), or just dive right into 2? Hm.

When my son plays backyard soccer with his cousins, he genuinely enjoys (and is pretty good!) playing goalie. I'm not sure they recognize/appreciate how lucky they are, how well the dynamic works. And that's okay. 🙂

Sometimes your family goes out for ice cream but you're lactose intolerant so you get a warm brownie with Butterfinger crumbles and it turns out actually kinda amazing.

I'm just not sure every single food on the market needs protein added to them.

Some experiences in life are universal. They connect us all as human beings. You can sit with it, and know that it happens to everyone. Like how, every once in a while, the desert music from Super Mario Bros 2 gets stuck in your head. It happens to all of us, sometimes.

I've been full-time at my new job a few weeks now. I think today was my first rough day. Not a "I regret taking this position" sort of thing, nothing like that. But dang. Today really kicked my butt. Welp. I'll get 'em tomorrow. How's YOUR job going, anyway?

I have decided on my next commander to build. 😈 Looking forward to figuring out how to [impossibly] juggle token shenanigans with spellslinger shenanigans.

An image of a Magic card: Kykar, Wind's Fury, a legendary bird's wizard who not only creates a 1/1 white Spirit flying creature token whenever you cast a non-creature spell, but also allows you to sac 'em for red mana whenever you want. Neat. He's like a giant swan, with both wings and arms? holding a fire orb. In the sky.

Two towns away from you lives a guy. He is extremely good at what he does. Companies will pay thousands of dollars to benefit from his handiwork. He's one of the best in the industry. He lives in the woods. He has a Yahoo email address.

Any other Marble Madness (NES) players out there? Yeah? Marble Madness? Pretty cool little game, that one. You know it? Marble Madness? No? Ah, well.

A photo, of a television screen, after a gameplay session of Marble Madness (NES) depicting a score achieved of 163,180. Which is like 20,000 points more than I remember my high score ever being. Neat.

Me: Boy, I'm really looking forward to getting back into regular game development. I have so many neglected projects. Just need some nice, steady progress. My brain: Ah, but you *could* prototype another tabletop game design. And this idea for a webcomic. And this novel. Also,

Thought my itty bitty cut was ready for the band-aid to come off. Washed my hands. Got some soap into the itty bitty cut. Almost cried. Grabbed a new band-aid... Exciting day at the office!

Started full-time at a new job today. :) It’s been a journey, but ultimately a good thing for me and my family. For one thing: I am leveraging a much-shorter commute (from one hour one way, to now about 200 seconds) to reclaim a couple hours of my day, along with shedding other stressors too.

Today was "furnish my resignation letter/two-week's notice and begin the transition process" day at work. In my feels a little bit. Life is compelling.
