Loved my 3ds. It helped me get back into gaming regularly. I had weird guilt when I tried to sit down at a console or pc to play, thinking I should use my time more wisely, but was able to spend hours on Animal Crossing and then other games.

I got introduced to the Fire Emblem series through it and loved them. Although I never finished Shadows of Valencia. One day, I’ll get back to it.

I also learned that Resident Evil, while awesome, is not for me to play lol.

Happy birthday! I have two options I default to for my birthday. Either a big breakfast for dinner or what I call Nostalgia Dinner. Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes with salt and pepper on the side, four vegetables (always butter or Lima beans, green beans, collard greens, black eyed peas, etc) and a small pork chop.

Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve never played anything like it, so I’ll be on the lookout for more games once I finish with it. That’ll probably be awhile since I can see myself doing a few playthroughs. Right now have a solo campaign and a multiplayer one going.

And in my attempt to get off social media some, I’ve gotten back into Slay the Spire.

Fire Emblem: Awakening on Lunatic mode. It just wasn’t fun and I already didn’t like enemies popping up and getting to attack in the same turn.

I’ll have to mention that to my friend. She just got started raising ducks this year. And now I’m a convert to duck eggs over chicken eggs. Haha

Sounds delicious! It was also cool to hear about the, um, extra bits and how they’ll be used. I’d never heard the feet could be used like that.

Whoa. Looks like I can lose hours just diving into all this info.

Yup. Got rid of Netflix a few months ago and got rid of Hulu live about a month ago.

I received an unexpected apology almost 20 years after the fact. I had long since moved on and had no hard feelings for the person.

Before that apology, I was like most people who thought an apology like that would feel selfish or self-serving for the person giving the apology. Instead, it felt very genuine and weirdly made me feel a little better about humanity. Like, if this person can grow and come out the other side a better, happier person, then more people can too.

What terrible news. I always loved her voice.
