Sometimes I think about this guy from that awkward 2015 Wendy's ad and I wonder where he is today. I hope he's doing okay.

Random small thing I enjoy about Fortune's Weave is the light story telling they seem to be doing with the silent NPCs.

A girl approaching a guard as her friends watch in the distance.

A man who appears to be begging a woman to take him back.

A bunch of people with their arms folded. I think I missed what they were looking at.

It's wild to me that there's people who hear voices in their head when they read. I feel like I'm missing out on something magical with those "you are now reading this in my voice" memes.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book could have easily been titled Kamek's Perpetual Meltdown.

Kamek: H-hoe disgusting! What is this thing?!

I put a bottle of water in the freezer to get it cold. It was liquid when I took it out and turned to slush when I set it down on the counter. I was looking away when I put it down and missed the slushification. I'm sad.

I was cynical at first but I think the Golden Axe cartoon looks fine. Nothing earth shattering but might be worth a watch. It kind of gives me the same vibe as cheesy 80's cartoon adaptations of video games.

The main thing I've learned about idle/incremental game fans from idle/incremental game reviews is that no one is in agreement of what an idle/incremental game should be.

Finally found a weapon in Splatoon Raiders that I'm happy to have on hand as my main one. I don't know what specific abilities I want attached to it. I can't decide if pairing Freeze and Ice Breaker is a good idea.

The main thing that I'm learning from the classic Yu-Gi-Oh games is that Téa hates me.

So far I've managed to avoid using passwords while playing Yu-Gi-Oh games but the temptation is spiking with some computer opponents randomly throwing out scale tipping cards that I've yet to obtain. At the same time, it is a great feeling to claw my way out of seemingly impossible scenarios.

GBA Yu-Gi-Oh is such a different beast compared to the GB(C) games. The GB(C) games frequently felt like a game of attrition. I was constantly dismantling walls and trying to gain momentum to brute force my way to victory. Eternal Duelist Soul feels more like setting up dominoes.

This was the first card I used. Pot of Greed. It allowed me to draw 2 cards from my deck.

Finished with Duel Monsters III/Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories. I'm starting to understand why people like to use the password system to get better cards. The decks towards the end were frustrating to deal with and I mostly brute forced my way through with constructed cards.

Pot of Greed from Yu-Gi-Oh.

"Draws up to 2 cards if hand allows it"

I'm not sure what it does.
