Treasure this moment. One of my best gaming memories was moving into a new place with a roommate after being homeless for two weeks. We didn’t have furniture, we just had a frozen pizza, a six pack, and his switch with smash ultimate on it. We played on the half all night. It was a candle in the darkness, knowing that even without much we had a roof over our heads and each other. Just pure relief and joy.
I never experienced homelessness but I was lonely growing up. I remember meeting a new kid at school and and we played Earthbound until 3am on his SNES and fell asleep feeling like I was floating because I found a friend and a cool game.
That said It was also the day I saw Starship Troopers in theaters and saw boobs for the first time so that may have been contributory. All in all though banner day.

Move in floor beers are the best.
Hell yeah.

Oh man I’d be chasing that dragon to the end of the earth
