  • My favorite series is disgaea, but I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, it’s over the top game breaking silliness.

    Chroma-squad is often overlooked, but captures a lot of what name 90s trpg’s great and improves on the formula quite a bit.

    The absolute best trpg imo is “bionic dues”, I feel like it you enjoyed into the breach you should definitely give bionic dues a shot, it’s such a different style of game,


  • I’m closer to 40 than 35, and my wife recently gave up ever replacing “college blanket”, which was actually bought for me in early high school after I asked if I could take my grandparents comforter home with me. They found one and got it for me that Christmas (I think it was Ross/home goods), it was probably the most generic comforter ever, I always thought I’d be able to find another when needed. After 2 cats, a dog and the better part of 2 decades, my wife decided it was time to let it go and get a replacement, no problem, it’s the most generic comforter ever. She gets me a nice duvet, so we can keep the inside nice and replace the outside as needed, nope definitely not the same. She gets a comforter, it’s stitched way too tightly, and doesn’t breathe the same (okay maybe a 20 year old blanket has gained a bit of aeration, maybe it breathes better than it did when it was new, but you can definitely tell the padding is stitched much more tightly than college blanket’s ever was), she got me a “cooling” comforter, it’s decent, but paired best with college blanket, and when I only have 1 blanket 9 times out of 10 it’s college blanket.

    Now college blanket has had 5 cats and 3 dogs and the majority of my life, it’s been the bed of desire for multiple animals, myself included, and my wife sometimes asks for it when she’s sick. Apparently it’s really scratchy, and holey, and it’s closely missing about 20% of it’s original fluff, and I would put it away in a place of honor in a heartbeat if I could find a new one. I swear it was 40 dollars at a home goods store, in a pile with a hundred others just like it, but we’ve looked for the better part of a decade now, and it’s been deemed irreplaceable. It would probably be the first material thing I went for if we had to evacuate. I’m not highly sentimental, but you don’t let a good blanket go.







  • GeForce now. As long as you have streaming speed Internet you can play so many games, at such high quality.

    Microsoft game pass, I haven’t tried it with the above because I don’t have great Internet (I’ve got grandfathered into the intro price of GeForce now, I’m not canceling it, I’ll have better Internet some day), but it’s better than browsing games at my blockbuster/warehouse/Hollywood video back in the day.

    YouTube premium. I’ve only listen to ads when I’ve first turned on a new phone, every time I do I count my money as well spent. Add in YouTube music (much better than Spotify imo) and I’m good for 95% of my media input.

    A hundred bucks a month on various content creators. Not listening to ads in my podcasts, not having to fast forward and rewind, and supporting the people who make my life happier, it’s a win win.
