I went to my first cosplay event in 2025—which I’ve been meaning to post about.  And it was pretty cool. It was a start-up con… on either the first [or] second year in operation and, I got to see some of its growing pains.

I interviewed a few people and even got into my cosplay gear… (a whole other story). I’m finding out a lot about that creative space.  I did not realize how much energy was involved in putting on an event, and how much drama there could be.  But I like it over here.

There will be content posted about the ins and outs of anything and everything cosplay. We are going

Imagine: You’re at the end of a boss fight. Maybe one that’s taken you days, or weeks; even (Radagon took me a year). Then, when you finally finish [and] hit proceed [you're] taken directly to an IN-GAME AD! ... getting your ass beat for weeks has been brought to you by "Brunhilde’s Backflip, sign up today!” 

Disgusting right? You’ve just spent game blood, sweat and tears and possibly a few controllers to immediately be hit with a fucking ad. Sounds insane right? No LOGICAL company that loves gamers and wants to KEEP gamers happy would want to do something ridiculously greedy. Right?!

WRONG!

Because we’re in the evil timeline. It's been reported that Microsoft has decided to file a patent for

Downsizing for Travel

So, I’ve been watching videos lately about packing for travel... I give up.  Why does everything have to be a science?  Why can’t you just pick a few things, and throw that shit in a bag?

I know, I know.  You might forget something that you need.   You don’t want to run out of something that might not be available where you’re going. You don’t want to have to buy anything when you get there.  And the list goes on and on.

That is one concept for packing.  The other is… try to travel light.

That’s the reason for this article.  I’ve been really thinking about taking “dinky” trips lately.  I’m older, I ain’t really got shit to do (lol!), and I feel a need to get out more.  I want to do things that are somewhat creative, but don’t cost a lot. 

I want to start utilizing AMTRAK more, which I affectionately call meDIRTY Train. 😁I could take a day trip up to Philadelphia and get a Philly cheese steak and come back.  Or, got to Washington D.C. or Baltimore, or any combination of things that might be fun and simple.  I just wish they had more routes.  Also, side note, did you know Amtrak was

Ya got me Nintendo!

If there's one thing Nintendo is gonna do is take a new generation of gamers and SNATCH EM UP and turn them into lifelong fans and while I hold NO LOYALTY to any company, I can admit that lately they have been making the right moves at the right time.

While Playstation is currently making catastrophic moves with their decisions to go fully digital, breaking up with Kojima on the collaboration of Physint, sending out emails telling gamers to remember that we own nothing and having to pay $7.85 million as a part of their PSN Digital Games Settlement, Nintendo is not so quietly showing that they hear gamers desires and are ready to deliver as shown by their TWO Nintendo directs with one being strictly dedicated to the 40th anniversary of “The Legend Of Zelda”

It opened with Zelda music and I immediately started crying! Not only did they show gameplay

I Saw a Cool Animation Film: Predator-Killer of Killers

Predator: Killer of Killers

I was looking for something animated to watch... and to my surprise I found "Predator: Killer of Killers" on Hulu/Disney+. It was an hour and thirty minutes of great animation.

The concept of the film was interesting and a little confusing—but developed as you watched the movie.  I won’t give away what some might call “spoilers”, but
