Was cleaning out my office to turn it into a playroom for Riley. Found this just chillin’ on the ground behind a shelf.

Has anyone made a rendition of this album cover but with a pidgeotto? Lol

Two playthroughs in. Star Fox is still perfect

Michael Ruiz @themichaeljruiz.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

I did my first playthrough of Star Fox. GOTY.

I have watched a movie and tv show that references valuable MTG cards. Kind of hate it.

Finished 007 First Light. Incredible video game.

The White Sox winning their series against the Dodgers is my NBA Finals.

Been playing 007 First Light. Very good video game.

You ever take a day off so you can go skate and watch the Keighley showcase, but it turns out it’s going to rain so now you have to pay $20 to go skate inside?

Got to check out Skate Season 4 a bit early. For those who are still playing, it feels like it is actually shaping up each season. bantambanter.com/2026/06/02/s...

Tallest ledge I’ve 50-50’d so far. Doesn’t look tall, but it’s just below my knees.

Not sure how I feel about out the X Games collab considering the competition’s new direction. Sorry, the “MoonPay X Games League” which features AI judges and promotes gambling. But also, I’m just glad there is still new stuff to do in this game. bantambanter.com/2026/05/28/s...

Skate Season 4 Reunites Series with the X Games

Are there people who don’t like grilled asparagus?

I'm like 6 hours into Final Fantasy XV. The gameplay is kind of ass, but the vibes... I love these dudes.

Michael Ruiz @themichaeljruiz.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Honestly, good way to get a Birdhouse deck at a big discount. Decks are usually like 70 to 80 bucks. The game is good too.

Michael Ruiz @themichaeljruiz.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

I think maybe we were not kind to Final Fantasy XV.

Michael Ruiz @themichaeljruiz.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

What if I did something crazy and played Final Fantasy XV?

Finished Citizen Sleeper. That’s a 10/10 video game.

Idk who needs to hear this but Citizen Sleeper…. Pretty good!

I’ve been writing a lot more for my blog recently because I don’t have headphones and can’t listen to anything on my commute to work. So check out some of the latest stuff I have there if you’d like at BantamBanter.com.
