I tend to work from home as much as possible, but I typically have to spend one or two days a week in the office. Normally not a fan, but once in a blue moon, they bring in the therapy dogs to help with stress. The folks who run it all know me by name, as I'm the surly middle aged man who will plop down on the floor to pet a dog. I'll go out of my way to see them as much as I can, and love on them. Plus, they give out collectable cards, which is fun. #dogs #officelife #office #cozy #nerdculture

To me, #FinalFantasyXVI is going to be a game I'm not going to remember for its gameplay. That's not to say that it was bad, or in any way incompetent, because it surely wasn't.

The storytelling, the writing, the characters, the music. These are things that are going to sit with me for a long time. There were just so many strong character moments, and I've rarely ever felt so attached to a cast, even the extended cast was deeply memorable, and lovable. #gaming #FFXVI #FinalFantasy #JRPG #PS5

My wife usually packs my lunch for me, to take to work each morning. She knows I absolutely loathe pickles. She decided to include a tiny little plastic container in my lunchbox containing one singular slice of pickle to troll me. The other people in my office thought it was the cutest thing.

Been playing Final Fantasy XVI. You know you're fully immersed in a game, when you have squishy feelings for the shop vendors, and genuinely care about their well-being.

Well, after stubbornly playing a Hrothgar for the last couple years, it took the fact that I won't be able to wear the newly revealed steampunk hat to make me finally use a Fantasia. Not that I'm bitter or anything...

As a gamer, so you ever find yourself using items from limited, or collector's editions, for other mundane purposes at home? I use several, but the one I get the most use out of is the treasure chest that contained the Dragon Quest Heroes collector's edition, as my odds-and-ends storage. Stuffed full of stuff I often need, but more aesthetically pleasing than a standard drawer.

What is the crown jewel of your game collection? Mine is my mint condition, CIB copy of Rule of Rose for the PS2. It's a pretty good game I bought when it came out, as I basically bought anything Atlus came out with at the time. Definitely wouldn't pay the going price for it now, though, but it does make for a neat conversation piece.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, a slice of life manga I've always heard people talk about, finally got its official English release. The epitome of a cozy read. Incredibly minimalist in it's nature, it's full of quiet, peaceful worldbuilding, in the twilight of a world. Alpha, the kindhearted android cafe owner, serves as a great lens to view this beautiful dying Earth. Can't wait for more volumes to be released.

Not so sure I would trust this shady character behind the wheel. Also, shockingly easy to make a Hrothgar look dapper, after so many years of mainly playing a Lalafell.

Recent obsession with Vinland Saga, and collecting all of the current released English volumes. I'm highly curious to see what the anime fanbase thinks of the direction the plot is likely to take in season 2.

Playing the new Star Ocean: The Divine Force. It's been getting middling reviews, which doesn't really surprise me. The game is definitely far from perfect so far, but I'm honestly having a blast. It's just filled the the brim with references to the previous games in the series, which just hits my right in the nostalgia. Also, the opening song, by J-Rock legend HYDE, has been stuck in my head perpetually since I started playing.

#Introduction
I am a low-level government employee from a flyover state in the US, living a quiet small town life with my wife, and several cats.

I spend the majority of my free time playing #videogames, reading #comics, and watching #anime. Been growing increasingly nihilistic at the state of the world, and at politics, and hoping to connect with other people to share love for things that are more fun and freeing.

Sadly, not a creative, but love to experience art of all kinds.
