There’s more to weather forecasting than looking at an operational model run and taking it at face value.

Yes. Models agree that an intense storm will take shape off of Eastern seaboard. Where it goes and where its effects will be felt are a ways from locking in.

So Dynasty Warriors Origins finally clicked for me. After fighting with the evade command the last few times I tried, this time I kinda got what the game was going for. I played it for 8 hours today alone— a rarity for me, given my short gaming attention span.

I literally can’t get out of my house. All ways in/out are buried, and snow drifts don’t allow doors to open out. As much as I want to start cleanup, I’m trapped.

Yeah, I’m never getting out of my house again.

So, yeah. Snowmegeddon, Part 1. Expecting another monster nedt weekend.

Weather is what it is, but it definitely cost local restaurants and bars lots of money today with the Patriots playing in and winning the AFC Championship game. In less extreme weather, those places are rolling in cash at the end of the day.

Snowmegeddon living up to the billing. At least a foot on the ground already and still a solild 6-8 hours of 1”+ per hour snows before things lighten up.

Getting into my car? Impossible.

All of the food and food delivery ads are funny right now as there ain’t nobody getting delivery anywhere round here with 8” of snow already and another foot of snow left to go.

Man. To see the expanded areas in Final Fantasy VII Remake is pretty remarkable. Lots familiar, and yet new. The character designs are something else, too— kinda like what we thought we were seeing 30 years ago instead of the blocky figures.

Really engrossed in Final Fantasy VII Remake after pushing through some early stuff I didn’t like. Kinda tough to put down now.

But SNOWMAGEDDON, so I have time.

Well, here’s a first… literally.

I have never even come close to a top ranking in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition… until recently.

Yeah, I’m technically tied for 1st, but it still counts!

Heck, yeah. No pun intended, but some core memories are unlocked here. 1997. OPM.

This game is flawed for sure, but that matters less when you’re enjoying yourself.

Hey. I forgot that the Fighting Force Collection was out. Well… YOINK.

It’s all about the original game, and whatever-the-heck the sequel was.

I’m going back to using MicroBlog, which is a, well, microblogging platform. Perfect for shorter bursts of consciousness.

There is cross-posting with socials, so even though I’m on a social media break, these entries will show up.

Update — Recent PlayStation Additions:

None of these are new to me, but they are all upgrades to copies that I currently have. Vagrant Story is complete (instead of a missing manual), and Incredible Crisis is in pristine shape.

My original PlayStation library grows by another three games with today’s mail call. I’ve never played these. There’s definitely a sci-fi vibe going on.

Mail call today went on the… ummm… Warpath.

I love me some dinos, even if the game isn’t the best.

It’s that time of year, and I couldn’t be happier.

It’s been THAT kind of day.

A horse is a horse

Mail call today is all about the original PlayStation with two more complete in case games (War Gods and F1 World Grand Prix 1999) and two demos (Hot Shots Golf 2/Speed Punks combo and Wild ARMs 2).

Today was a great day of game hunting. 12 original PlayStation games (all of which I didn’t yet have), 2 complete in box N64 games, 1 complete Dreamcast game, 3 strategy guides, and a classic video game magazine.

New and 🦭🦭sealed🦭🦭memory card for the original PlayStation? Yes please.

I finished the Air Twister campaign today. Still quite a bit to unlock, but I think I’m good for now after a recent flurry of playing time. It definitely (and randomly) grew on me.

Now this is a legit Golden Tee Golf round. Best one I’ve had so far. I was in the zone the whole way, being smarter than riskier.

Today’s mail call gets a solo spotlight: it’s Darkstalkers 3 for the original PlayStation— a game that’s held its value over time and is (to me) a fun Capcom fighter.
