Just finished #Inscryption. This eerie indie game dares to ask the question "What if Majora's Mask Creepypasta, but Yu-Gi-Oh?" then sprinkles in roguelike, RPG, and dungeon crawling elements along the way. And for that, I have to commend it. Definitely worth playing.
My goal at the beginning of the summer was to be able to jog 30 minutes without stopping. Hit that today. 💪
Dual Destinies has surprisingly good commentary on mental health. #AceAttorney

If I've learned one thing going on tours, other than all the things the tour guides taught me, it's that when I retire from teaching I want to be a tour guide. Infodumping to people about history but all of them listen? Thats the dream.
Chicago I hate to tell you this but your tavern style pizza isn't even as good as the rest of the country's. You should stop being ashamed of deep dish. Also for my Louisville folks --- Bonnie and Clyde's clears Vito and Nick's easy. Still tasty though.
Finally rolled credits on a staple from childhood: #GTAViceCity! This game really lives up to its reputation. A blueprint for sandbox games, filled with immaculate vibes, a story that understands its role, & just sheer fun. Really could be an all time favorite of mine once you factor in nostalgia.
What badass music motivated your new best on the triceps extension Mitchell? Oh, I'm so glad you asked. #workout #supermario
Zero sugar shaved ice is a diet hack that criminally undertalked about.
Finally found a way to squeeze the gamer-teacher summer break dream into my workout and nutrition regimen this year. #AceAttorney #TrellisBrewing 🍺🎮
Finished #StarFox. This game has immaculate vibes, but I just wasn't gelling w/ it. I think I did it a disservice by trying to knock it out quickly, especially since I'm not very good at it lol. It was meant to be played in runs over a long period, not w/ perpetual resets on frustrating snippets.
Just when I thought the first Apollo Justice had exhausted all the ways they could make this joke funny. #AceAttorney
Gotta twofer this week as I've been chipping away at #SuperMario 3D World + Bowsers Fury for years & decided to finish it. 😅 This was a lot of fun. Even w/o Bowsers Fury its the best Mario game from his "safe" era, & Bowsers Fury itself is a creative expansion. Plus the #Switch2 update looks great!
Not to steal any thunder from the Dads out there. But Happy Birthday to me. (Tomorrow, technically...but my Wife works tomorrow lol)
#FireEmblem Three Houses marks the second time this year that I replayed a game. Which is very rare for me, but I wanted to brush up before Fortune's Weave came out. I'm happy to say this masterpiece holds up, unpleasant graphical textures aside. I may even see if I can brute force the last route.
Real quote I said to my wife last night: "Why am I stressing out so much over working out, or what I eat? I'm a teacher on summer vacation. I should be drunk in a brewery at noon playing my Switch." (photo is sadly from last year lol) #NintendoSwitch2 #PaperMario #BeerSky
This is just a corporate advertisement from COVID-19. #FireEmblem #NintendoSwitch
I don't think I've ever had two games that were as, dense, life consuming, and highly anticipated for me personally come out as close to each other as #Fable and #Persona4Revival. Am I gonna have to become unemployed? I think they want me to be unemployed. #XboxShowcase
"Look Simba. Everything the light touches is my physical collection from the Switch 2's first year." "What about that shadowy place?" "Those are Game-Key Cards, you must never play those Simba." Also pictured is a proper photo with the GKC's not ostracized haha. Happy one year of #Switch2!
Current game rotation: Ain't nothing new right now lol. Just a replay and post game haha. I also am theoretically playing BG3, but I think I'm dropping that again.
Playing Hades 1 & 2 inspired me to revisit my absolute favorite movie from childhood this Memorial Day weekend. #Hercules
@brinkofgaming.bsky.social I already knew you were playing it but it still made my heart so happy when I got the notification haha.
Thanks to a free CostCo membership from doing UberEats deliveries, and free visa gift cards from my health insurance...I have obtained the 1TB Switch 2 MicroSD Express card and no cost to me. Please clap.
