all the kids who played Harvest Moon on SNES are 40 now so it's kind of alarming that the farming games are still not letting you date the town moms
If you'll indulge me in a brief moment of giving life advice: I highly recommend having a funny spouse. Great quality of life hack.
Hi there, people in my time zone who check their social media feed during lunch! If you didn't know, I started blogging again this week! Here's a thread of the articles I have posted so far. 🧵
Has anyone invented a catchy phrase for the day after you hang out with friends and you're sad because you are no longer hanging out with friends? Like "friend drop" or some shit.
Funnily enough, I was so busy at work today that I did not promote this article for almost 7 hours. I DON'T HAVE TIME!!! adventurerulesjournal.blogspot.com/2026/08/i-do...
I Don't Have Time to Write This Article
This won't even raise my social links.

First article in like, a year came out today. Got two more lined up for this week. Get fucked, depression.
I never recognized before just how much Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door cares about Mario's gender. Perhaps I am noticing now because I have been thinking so much about my own. A new era of blogging begins: adventurerulesjournal.blogspot.com/2026/08/pape...

I love how the directions on protein shakes say to "serve chilled," as if this drink is a pleasant nightcap instead of a desperate plea to the gods for their boon of strength.
Playing Paper Mario TTYD and I just got a Merlee blessing that doubled my star points on a fight where I killed an Amazee Dayzee...98 star points from a single fight. Been playing this game for like two decades and have never had this happen before!
The Scarlet Hollow Rumors Update, an over-60,000-word expansion to Episode 5, is out now! This is the last major content update before the release of the game's final chapters. If you've yet to play, now's the perfect time to catch up, and the game is 25% off on Steam for the next two weeks!
as someone (O+) who regularly donates blood, I can tell you it's never been more painless the iron test no longer requires pricking a finger, the quickpass questionnaire on the app speeds up the appointment also check if your work supports blood donations (e.g., free leave)
"On Monday, the Red Cross declared a national blood crisis for the second time ever in its history."

Interesting that almost all analysis of Xbox in freefall completely ignores an organized boycott intended to harm the company financially. Meanwhile, multiple news stories on the home page all month about PlayStation boycotts that haven't even happened yet.
Game Pass was supposed to be the all-you-can-play subscription service that put Xbox on top after a disastrous generation. Instead, it's a failure that's threatening to ruin the company. https://bit.ly/4pIIUau
Been fooling around with the character creation and challenge creation rules for Legend in the Mist, and I love how the challenge rules really facilitate creating unique mechanics for each monster. Plus the flexibility for a "monster" to be like a dangerous social encounter and not just a fight.
Hey so y'all know speedrunning, where you play a video game as fast as you can? I recently learned about this similar thing you can do in real life where you try to get from one physical location to another as fast as you can using only your body. Think I might try it out, start doing practice runs.

"DID THEY WRITE THIS REVIEW JUST TO GET ATTENTION?!" We wrote the 4/10 and 10/10 outlier reviews for gaming's biggest unreleased games before critics can. You're welcome! youtu.be/ZwazHnD_4lE?...

Odysseus and his men getting fucking wrecked at every island because they refuse to upgrade their armor or equip any of their damned materia. Like is this a game to you
I am a Millennial so i contextualize everything through avatar the last airbender and its related properties
I need a personal trainer or a therapist but for my wardrobe, specifically. Like I am perhaps the least fashionable person of all time and really need education from the ground up on essential concepts like "finding clothes you like" or "putting together an outfit."
My sexual orientation is queer, a term which in my specific case means I am attracted to most women, a lot of nonbinary people, and Nick Wright: Disbarred Attorney.
A lot of folks have interviewed Grant Kirkhope about the DK Rap over the years and he's had very interesting things to say! But I really wanted to talk to the guys who actually rapped it, and managed to get the "So they're finally here!" guy on a call for this:
The DK Rap is a silly, yet beloved, cornerstone of Nintendo and Rare history. It was also recorded in a stuffy hallway by the game director and a programmer who was picked because he listened to Tupac sometimes. https://kotaku.com/stuffy-silly-arhythmic-hallway-recording-original-dk-rap-2000715929
