There’s a part of me that looks forward to being sick and bed ridden with the flu so I can be in bed and play the games I bought from the last sale. They’ve been on my wishlist for a year and I really want to play them.

Currently I need to do drywall in my bathroom, fix my truck to sell it, get quotes from a roofer, and pull 10-12 hour shifts at work. I’ve been looking forward to winter all summer so that the projects would stop and I can finally sit tf down for a couple of hours, but it’s looking like I’m not going to get a break until January when we take time off and lock ourselves in a cabin for a week to get our baseline again.

I like to play the little story and puzzle games because they’re quick and I can complete one in an afternoon so I don’t lose track of where I am over the next month where I’ll maybe get 1-2 hours of free time a day.

This week I had time to beat Gorogoa after I installed a 1tb SSD in my deck. Next week I am going to learn how to emulate some of my favorite PS1-2 and SNES games that I own.

My uncle is a paraplegic and got me into gaming when I was a kid and we’d always play Tetris or a racing game together. He’s always been really into flight simulator. He can wheel his chair right up to his desk and travel the world!

Well he used to. Parkinsons has taken hold and his dementia is making it hard for him to talk. Sorry, I didn’t mean to get sad here, it’s just the holidays and I haven’t been able to make time to go visit him.

Four. Already beat one within the return window. Once I have more time to sit down and play I’ll beat another one.

Some $18 dock that I found on Amazon that barely met spec. I’ll get another one eventually but it’s not going to go to waste.

The ones that your friends play.

To the moon.

Deaths door

Halls of torment

So far.

Humble choice stopped my compulsive spending. Every month you get a bunch of games to play and it’s fairly cheap.

I’ve had my account for 20 years and I’ve only managed to spend about a grand in that time. Once you hit a certain point (like 500ish games) you buy less and less every sale.

A 65w USBC charger and a 10ft cord. Wireless earbuds, and a nice pillow to rest you arms on.

I have an OLED TV (B7A for the LG nerds, yeah I know it’s old) and I have to say, it looks really nice on the screen.

But it also looks good on the Deck too. But that game is so colorful.

It was my poor poor pockets that kept me from getting one.

I thought I turned you off.

I don’t like dealing with windows at all. Like AT ALL.

I was going to buy the OLED but the pest control bill for the rodents says otherwise.

It took me a year to save up for the Deck. So when the new ones came out, I was like, well, maybe next time.

I just needed to hire a contractor for $300 to come and do electrical work. Half my house plugs don’t work and I think it may be rats.

I’ll be stitching my underwear back together to get another year.

I just spent this last weekend going through my box of devices to make notes of the parts and batteries I need to pick up. So far I need a zune 30gb battery, a PSP 1000 battery, the old switch lite is doing good. And then I found this at the bottom of the box, figured out how to update it and now I have a new BT controller that can do mouse input.

It’ll take more adjusting to get it right but it’s a great little device. I used to use it for racing games.

Ah heck, I got a couple minutes before my alarm goes off.

I’m old and I can’t game for hours at my desk anymore and I need to be able to move around a bit. All of my games are pretty old so it would help me finish them off.

Project Zomboid. Zombies turned off.

Last campfire is a quick (under six hours) palette cleanser of a game.

I’ll shoot for the special edition but if I can’t get it I’ll just wait till deck 2.0
