@asolitarybear@mstdn.games

Mimics a bear's behaviour by being quiet, respectful, and I tend to wander on my own.

Playing games since I was a wee cub. They bring me joy and I share games to bring others joy. Specifically I'm into retro games, cozy games and table-top RPGs.

Hey fediverse! I'm looking for representation in video games to help with body acceptance!

Please boost if your friends may be able to help! :boost_love:

Can anyone recommend characters from video games, art, movies, books, etc. with these qualities?

  • Big, tall and broad
  • A little chonky
  • Presenting as male
  • Withdrawn, kind and gentle
  • A little nerdy, a little queer

For the first time in a while, I just didn’t feel like playing any games tonight. Just watched a bit of TV and scrolled through random shit on my phone.

Import review for Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon (Mystery Dungeon) on Nintendo DS from NGC Magazine 116 - February 2006 (UK)

Sigh...
Just goes to show how misunderstood the Mystery Dungeon series can be in the west.
Although I can't blame Mark here as first impressions can be very rough. And playing in Japanese is ever harder for this series.

@OutofPrintArchive Imagine a company developing a Pokemon-branded Mystery Dungeon game, and the reviewer saying it's tedious and giving it a 50 out of 100.

Last random thought before sleepy time:

Literally everywhere I’ve lived / moved to has had record weather events shortly after I moved there.

Edmonton, I’m genuinely sorry. It’s my fault. The wildfires and now this brutal cold. It’s on me. 🥶 lol

Me: Our baseboard heat is shit. This apartment is shit. adds a layer of clothing or a blanket

Also me: it’s -25C. The heat is doing its best. You’re fine.

Me: repeats above lol

Is is supportive to hope that the figurative shit freezes, so it's easier to pick up? 🤔

asolitarybear,
@asolitarybear@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Definitely hope the freezing cold stays out and you can get warm. There are no limits on the number of layers if it helps you sleep better.

I think it’s finally going to get properly cold in the coming weeks. Looks like it’ll be -15C to -20C overnight here in the next few weeks.

I really should try and get some proper winter clothing but I’m convinced what I have been using since moving to Canada is sufficient.

Let’s find out 😆😆

Family outing update:

We’re thankfully testing negative 6 days after exposure. Not symptomatic.

I crashed really hard for several days (thanks ) … so badly that it scared me at times… but I am slowly recovering to my baseline.

Here’s to rest, recovery and kindness.

@britt So glad to hear that, Britt!

Been looking at this volume to drop in price a little for what feels like 2 years now.

First time I've seen this for €36, but there's only one copy in stock after I ordered mine.
But they might still take orders for when they get new stock, although I'm not sure.

@OutofPrintArchive I've picked up the NES Encyclopedia by Chris Scullion and the NES Compendium from Bitmap Books.

If you're familiar with those two, how is this one different?

If you're not familiar, what did you like about these particular books?

@OutofPrintArchive Thank you! I'll add these to my wish list.

Someone from the family event last night just tested positive for Covid.

F*ck it all to hell.

Just f*ck. I asked everyone to test. If they came anyway after saying they felt fine… I have no clue how I’ll handle the rage I feel.

@britt If you get COVID from this, I will be upset. You've been through a lot Britt. That's a big new stressor to deal with. 🤗

Help. lol

asolitarybear,
@asolitarybear@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Since it’s different than other opinions offered, the original NES is prone to failure and $100 is expensive if you want only want display it. 😅

I saved up my Instagram stories for one day. 151! 151 stories. How is that a reasonable amount of content?

I usually ignore most stories but I was curious what the quantity, push rate, whatever is.

Tonight's project is cleaning up an NES cartridge of Conflict!

Before pics:

The back of a NES cartridge. A sticker for Take One Video is affixed to the original label.

@asolitarybear@mstdn.games avatar

@vga256 You're not wrong! 😄

It bugged me that the top left and bottom right corners of the sticker were damaged, so I thought I'd try it. I learned a couple tricks for the future, but pulling on the sticker caused me to skip when I got to the part that was only loosely connected. :facepalm:
