I fucking hate working on Christmas. That is all.

between what I bought for myself and what my daughter-in-law bought for me, I maxed out my eShop wallet at $250. iirc, this should be my list: Diablo Prime Evil Bundle (includes Diablo 2 Remastered/Diablo III Eternal) Mario Party Superstars (for when we have company/I want to ruin friendships) All of the Cotton Shmups except for the Saturn tribute games Dodonpachi Resurrection River City Girls KOTOR 1 and I preordered Triangle Strategy.

I bought so many Switch games. I'll post the full list when I get home.

I have a Glorious keyboard currently, but after the drama I've seen around them recently (not giving people proper credit/jacking designs/TKC level shit); I'm likely done with Glorious as a company. Once my NK65 Superuser gets here, I'll probably build that out and switch to that. Mouse is as good as gone after Christmas, as I'm asking for a Xtrfy M42 for my birthday. Either that or I'll finally move over to a vertical/ergonomic mouse.

Aw shit, KOF animated avatars.

because it is. Plus it has full rollback.

I for one am happy about Cris Tales on Switch finally getting patched, makes my purchase of the game worthwhile now.

Word has it that a sign of mine is supposed to be on Rampage tonight during the advertised 10 man tag. I just happened to be sitting/standing in front of one of the cameras that AEW used for matches when I went to the tapings on Wednesday. I also have an album of pictures and videos about 150 deep that I've sorted through and have four pics I feel confident in posting. Those are below. edit: I have intro vids as well from Rampage, but those will be hidden behind spoiler warnings (as Rampage hasn't aired yet).

I've been keeping an eye on this quite closely. The tl;dr is that Hitbox apparently patented a bunch of stick layouts, and JFCA either had something a little too close to call or something like that. The suit was filed in federal court, and no matter what happens; there will be fallout from this guaradamnteed.

This is one of the games I'm quite hyped for, and I'm hoping they release a game OST for this. I will fucking day juan that shit. The game's already bought. Also, my wife got a free copy of Kirby Star Allies from a place she volunteered at for work. What should I expect of this game? Is it good, bad, terrible?

That first Vallejo pic reminds me of the album cover for Eternal Champion's Ravening Iron so much ...

Well ... shit.

I've been holding something back for a while now, and need to let it out. Also, the fact that this happens in what is supposedly the greatest country in the world is downright sickening. My wife is needing to have surgery to remove cataracts from her eyes. Our insurance (which comes through payroll deductions from her job) won't even pay anything until we come up with $10,000 to cover out of pocket costs. I know to some here, 10 g's isn't a lot of money; but it's a major expense no matter how it's looked at. That much money is a vehicle, or a really strong payment on a much nicer vehicle, or that much money would instantly wipe out 1/3rd of my Student Loans (of which I have almost $40,000 worth). I feel absolutely helpless about this situation, as her eyesight is getting worse. I ended up deciding that I would go back to work full-time after New Year's, and invoking a trial work period through Social Security to cover most if not all of the remaining cost (we have about 1/2 the money saved right now, stored in a safety deposit box at our bank). If I have everything right, the surgery could be done in time to possibly travel later this year/next year for sure. As I mentioned before, I don't really have a place to talk about this, but I appreciate everyone. Even @DarkSakul. Anywho, time to stop ranting about how insurance and American health care can go suck a giant-ass horse cock like Nancy Reagan 😂.

SMTV is $36 at Gamestop for a few more hours. Just snagged my copy.

That's good news at least. I didn't try out the game on PS4 originally. Fuck ... I'm probably doomed.

I literally have no words for this.

The Google Store had the Pixel 6 Pro available in 512gb finally after being sold out of them for a bit, but I can't pull the trigger on one until after my wife's eye surgery is taken care of. A couple of additional things as well: My Google TV is hooked back up to our Samsung TV, as I got tired of Tizen's inability to keep a Twitch channel native to the OS (and I didn't want to turn on the PS5 or XBox). I also have retired my Apple Watch SE in favor of a Fitbit and Garmin smartwatch combo that my wife agreed to. The last thing deserves it's own line, it's that important. I PULLED THE TRIGGER ON A NAS ENCLOSURE! It should be here either Tuesday or Wednesday, as it's in New Jersey somewhere right now.

let me know if you want some keyboard-only YT channels for content, I have a couple that can be recommended.

Since they've opened up sports betting an hour away, I have made 4x the amount of trips across the state line than I normally would. I did have a couple of successful bets before I had an unsuccessful one, and lost $20 after starting out with $9.50, and winning a couple of soccer game bets and betting against OKC in favor of the Rockets the other night before in the process.

Apparently I've been addicted as of late to collecting shock boxes from reprints/physical copies of SNK games. I will have four of them in a couple of weeks, since I bit the bullet and bought KOF2002UM from Pix'n Love.

I'm probably confusing him with Valle and James Chen, as they're older than I iirc.

I thought JWong was older than 40 tbh.

Ended up having to return the pair of Corsair Virtuoso headphones I bought in February yesterday due to them not powering back up. I went to a break from work, came back and the headset was lit green and didn't turn back on, even after following Corsair's troubleshooting instructions and having their support team assist me via phone. Ended up coming home with a new pair of Astro A40s, as they were the cheapest option to get without digging into money set aside for bills.

Trying to decide if I want to buy the KOTOR collector's edition that Limited Run is selling on Switch or PC. I'm leaning towards PC at the moment.

Deathsmiles 1 & 2 is getting a limited english release in mid-December via Strictly Limited Games. About half the stock is gone last I checked, and the Limited Edition is around $100.
