QTP with a game that made you a gamer in your childhood. (There’s no gif for mine 😹)

A screenshot of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Cloudy Mountain for Intellivision. On a green background we see a crude, pixel image of a large mountain range. Mountain tiles are a different shade of green or black with one single red tile and there are forest tiles intermingled. A blue line indicates a river running through the center. On the left side is a house tile and on the right is a large mountain tile set with coiled circling the peak.

I played through Journey for the first time this weekend. It’s gorgeous but I have to say I wasn’t thrilled about it. It just didn’t hit for me. But it has very cool atmosphere! Shout out to BonesKarmaKazi, we shared a nice little moment in the early part of the game.

Screenshot from “Journey” on PS4. A desert with a dark mountain in the distance. Two stones sit atop a sand dune with ribbons trailing from the tops of each. A sun sets on the horizon and the starry sky fades from orange to purple as it gets further from the sun. In the top left in white letters is: “COMPANIONS MET ALONG THE WAY BONESKARMAKAZI”

Monologue for Godot! It’s definitely not perfect but I’m getting it quicker than I expected to 😹. Also this is only the first third so there’s lots still to do.

Mrs. StickFigure and I had a wonderful time at the Music of Square Enix last night and we got some amazing, vegan, Japanese food beforehand! Happy anniversary to us 💜

The sign above the door shows the name of the theater “The Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall”

Several people can be seen lingering outside, entering, and working the doors.

A projection screen hangs over the orchestra displaying “The Music of Square Enix Magic, Memories, and Melodies”

Played through Sonic Adventure DX: Director’s Cut this month for the first time since it released, pretty much. It ended up moving up in the ranks slightly on my ranked list of platformers! I did have some small grievances but for the most part it’s a fun little romp. bckl.gg/bhYk

Yesterday I finished the main story of Starbound. I’ll be honest I had to cheat to finish the final boss. I have a lot of mixed feelings and you can read them here if you’re interested: backloggd.com/u/captstickf...

Sally would also like me to tell you that tomorrow is my Affiliate Anniversary! I don’t have anything special planned besides a longer stream of Majora’s Mask; but come by and say hi! (If you want) Twitch.tv/captstickfigure

Seems to be derogatory term for anarchists who presumably believe that any social structure is an oppressive tool of capitalism. Which is the most batshit, bad-faith thing I’ve ever heard 😹

Screen shot of a post on X:

“sam &
@sam_d_1995
I call this type of worldview "abolish bedtime leftism".
there's no positive vision, no social solidarity, no desire to provide high quality public services & improve material living conditions.
just anarchism and vibes

Just went to a local production of I to the Woods and it was just delightful. I’ve never seen Into the Woods before and I can’t believe how much I loved it!

I've inserted FFXII into my ranking of Final Fantasy games. Number 4 of the 11 I've played isn't bad at all. It took me a minute to really get into 12 but once it clicked I had an amazing time.

A screenshot of a ranked list of video games with accompanying cover art on Backloggd.com. The list reads:

1 Final Fantasy VII
2 Final Fantasy VII Remake
3 Final Fantasy IX
4 Final Fantasy XII
5 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
6 Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
7 Final Fantasy III [US SNES FFVI]

Preston Black@captstickfigure· Feb 28

I feel strongly that today is the day I finish Final Fantasy XII <3
