In our year-end review post, I mentioned having dropped the ball on several things I still intend to get back to when time/energy levels/etc. allow. We still plan to do the 2021 gameblogging awards posts, for example, even if it's 2022 now. I'd like to stream more, too. (Oh, we're on Twitch now, by the way.) All sorts of creative stuff from ( Read more... )

The year is drawing to a close, and the title of this post doesn't refer to my or our intent to discontinue our yearly recap posts or anything like that; we're reporting as normal (sort of) and it's our lives that feel like this was the year that everything just kind of... stopped.

There's our former job, you see. ( Former? Ah, yes, about that.... )

A full and honest review of Alvin and the Chipmunks in: The Miden Istaria, a Chipmunks/Istaria isekai crossover movie that existed in the dream we just had last night.

• Now that we're awake and can look this up, "miden" is not a fancy word for "place called" the way you all thought it was in the dream. Perhaps you meant "midden," because rodents and ( Read more... )

Dreamers' Game? Dreamer's Game? I never actually got a chance to see it, like, written down, so I'm just guessing whether the Dreamer(s) should be pluralized. (I mean, I'm the dreamer and I'm already pluralized, but shh you know what I mean.)

Anyway so this was a weird dream I had last night and it's long and very weird.

Okay, so, we don't know which neurodivergency causes this (ADHD? ASD? Anxiety?) but maybe someone can weigh in on if this sounds familiar to anyone.

You know what the absolute worst part about shopping is? GREETING CARDS.

Greeting cards. You know them. Your big superstores tend to have an entire aisle of them, including seasonal holiday ones. ( Read more... )

The year is drawing to a close, presumably because it finally ran out of ways to hurt and kill people and has nowhere else to go, though I fully expect it to wring every last tear it can from us all in its final few moments. They're going to do the New Year's ball drop and some celebrity you really like will die of COVID when the countdown is at 1 ( Read more... )

We don't upgrade computers very often. When we do, we tend to go excessive. This is mostly a case of applying Vimes Boots Theory to PCs, and going big just to give ourselves room to grow. Our current machine was a "holy crap, what are you ever even going to play that would require even a fraction of these specs" purchase when we got it. Our ( Read more... )

This morning I was browsing the Nintendo Switch eShop's "Great Deals" section for what's currently on sale. There are often weirdass yet intriguing-looking indie titles there for like nine cents or ridiculous giveaway prices along those lines, but I've always been reluctant to pick them up. Not because of the cost, but because I use LastPass so ( Read more... )
