Last week I found myself at an amusement park while supervising a school trip to celebrate the upcoming end of the current academic year. It had been about eight years since my last visit. Too long. I forgot how much fun they are.   Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra · Expert RAW · Edited in Snapseed    

Welcome back, Miami

 3731 days ago, on September 17th, 2013, a little bit over ten years ago, we witnessed videogame history with the release of Grand Theft Auto V. As quoted by IGN reviewer Keza MacDonald at the time: "it pushes the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 further than it has any right to, and it looks incredible.". I vividly remember all the different gameplay trailers showing up in my YouTube feed, me restlessly rewatching all of them to catch a glimpse of the tiniest details and potential things to come. Having spent hundreds of hours in the virtual rendition of NYC, Grand Theft Auto V was the new pinnacle of open-world gaming. I normally don't care much for pre-orders.

Random 3DS Captures

Right. So I was cleaning out my computer earlier today and came across a folder with random screen captures made on my now late Nintendo 2DS XL that I made with Luma3DS. It's a bit of random stuff, specifically from Animal Crossing New Leaf. Thought it would probably be fun to share it. Enjoy all of the randomness. Gotta love these random lines from the characters. Don't ever change, Anchovy.
