Late-night gaming when you’re married hits a little different. Fellow married gamers, you know exactly what I’m talking about. #Gaming

Being an old gamer is waiting in bed while your wife finishes watching Food Network, HGTV, or whatever show she has on.

She finally falls asleep. You wait a good half hour just to be safe.

TV off. Switch out. Wired headphones on. Everything perfectly quiet.

You start playing.

Two minutes later:

“Ugh, that screen is too bright. Turn it off.”

I play most of my video games on Easy. Not because I’m bad at gaming... well, yes, that too , but mostly because I don’t have a lot of time to game. So I want to enjoy games at a level that won’t frustrate me and lets me actually enjoy the experience. Thanks, developers, for giving us an Easy Mode!

Still at it. ✏️ Continuing my quest to learn how to draw so I can rely a whole lot less on generative AI art. Today’s lesson: textures and patterns. Turns out drawing a bunch of tiny rocks is both oddly satisfying and a great way to question your life choices. 😂 One pencil stroke at a time. 🎨

Ended up grabbing Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot DAIMA Edition for $24.99. I grew up watching Dragon Ball, and honestly, instead of rewatching the whole series, I’d rather live through it. Full Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Parts 1 & 2 + both DAIMA adventures for $25? Yeah, I’m happy with that purchase. 😅

Happy National Elephant Appreciation Day! 🐘 Fun fact: elephants are afraid of bees, which somehow makes these enormous animals even more lovable. And on this day in 1994, #Friends premiered on NBC.

I’ve been saying I want to learn how to draw and rely less on AI-generated art, so I finally started! First drawing lesson down. It’s nothing fancy, just learning to control the pencil and see shapes differently, but I’m pretty proud of finishing this little exercise. Gotta start somewhere! ✏️🎨

Fun little piece of internet history: Google.com was registered on September 15, 1997, by the same project that would eventually become Google. They wouldn’t officially become a company until almost a year later. Hard to imagine the internet without it now. 😅

Only thing I found worth buying through the appreciation sale. If you are just getting a Switch for the first time, then the games on sale feel like Nintendo Classic price. Worth it for new buyers, but either I already have the game or I don't really care for them. good discount on hardware

Nintendo reportedly got around $300 million back in tariff refunds. So if this sale is 30% off a $60 game, that’s about $18 saved per purchase. To “give back” the full $300 million through discounts, gamers would need to buy roughly 16.7 MILLION games. Yeah…math.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. If you’re worried about someone, reach out. Talk to them. Listen to them. And if you’re struggling yourself, please reach out and talk to someone too. There are people who love you, who need you in their lives, even when it may not feel that way. 💛

At this point, I’m genuinely a little scared. Nintendo remade Star Fox. Zelda is getting the hyper-realistic treatment. So now I’m sitting here thinking…What if they’re actually holding onto a Super Mario 64 remake for Switch 2? I don’t know if I’m ready.

Apparently today is International Sudoku Day, so I guess it’s time to find out if my brain still knows how to do one of these. 😂 Wish me luck. I have a feeling I’m going to need it. 🧩✏️

Calling my shot for tomorrow’s #Nintendo Direct: I think we’re getting The Legend of #Zelda: Twilight Princess on Nintendo Switch Online’s GameCube library. Not the HD remaster. The original GameCube version. I’m feeling pretty confident about this one. 👀

Apparently today, September 8, is International Literacy Day. As an English teacher, I feel like this is one of those random days I’m actually supposed to know about. 😂 So... go read something today. A book, an article, a comic, a video game dialogue box. It counts! 📚🎮

Yesterday my planner told me it was “Fight Procrastination Day.” Today it tells me it’s National Beer Lover’s Day AND that the world’s oldest brewery opened in 1040. I’m starting to think this planner really understands me. 😂🍺

Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr.substack.com · 06/09/2026

Apparently today, September 6, is “Fight Procrastination Day.” I discovered this while reopening a planner I’ve been procrastinating on using for the last three years. I’m not sure if this is motivation or the planner personally attacking me. 😂

I've been loving Lanterns on HBO Max, so now I kinda want to go back and watch the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern again, but the extended cut this time. I really don't remember it being as bad as people said. Let's see how this goes.

Watching this at 40 is hilarious. 😂 I don't remember all of these because some never made it to Puerto Rico, but I definitely remember toys like this. And now I'm watching like… yeah, this was clearly a terrible idea. How did they sell this stuff to kids?

1/ When it comes to Game-Key Cards, this is how I see it. Yes, technically the game itself is a digital download. But you still need the physical card to access that game. And I think that distinction matters.
