🎂 Leveled Up

I’m lighting 29 candles to celebrate my 29th birthday for the 24th time!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Also, it turns out lying about my age makes me feel older than if I just admitted to being 52. ’Cause now I realize you can add the age of two college educated adults—with masters degrees—and get my age. Or you can add the ages of all three of my daughters and come up almost a decade short.

Well, I did push-ups today and carried my youngest daughter down the stairs without hurting myself. So there’s that.

Happy birthday! Sounds like you just happen to live in a system capped at level 29. 🤷‍♂️ And you have rolled well to avoid skill and stat deterioration in your senescence! Well done!

Congrats on reaching such an advanced age!

Be sure the nursing home you choose has good Internet, so you don't miss anything here on Gamers Plane! 😎

As long as I never have to prove that point via some kind of physical feat that 29-year-old me could pull off with effort… yes, that is 100% true. No deterioration at all. Marvel at my unaging golden bicep: 💪!

…
Nursing home, schmursing home. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting to be able to save $2 at the cinema? Sure, senior citizen me will find the moves of the 2040s to be confusing and unrelatable, but I gotta blow my daughters’ inheritance on something…


Well, thanks for the birthday wishes and/or for making me feel relatively young by reminding me I’ll get even older later!

Happy Birthday!
Congratulations on the feats of strength, and just in time for Festivus!

Happy birthday! :3 Just imagine how many succulents you can lift with all this strength. Erm, other succulents, not this one, don't lift me.

Happiest of birthdays!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!
When those stairs get you down, just remember that they're always just trying to escalate things. Jerks...

The feats were nothing to boast of, though maybe I get some bragging rights for doing the same amount of exercises this morning while simultaneously being a little hungover-ish from the midnight limoncello my wife and I had while decorating gingerbread cookies.


Thanks, everyone!

Happy Birthday!

I know it can be frustrating having birthday so close to Christmas. It was always frustrating for me, anyway... Easy to get a birthday celebration lost in all the Holidays hubbub.

Happy belated birthday!

Happy Birthday!

... And many more....

Well……… I honestly can’t complain. I always get birthday presents at Christmas gatherings.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. And Happy Boxing Day!

Happy birthday! Rest assured I can do even fewer push ups than you can at my advanced age!

Happy Belated Birthday! Sounds like you're doing a good job staying in shape for the next stage of life, keep it up!

Thank you both.

But in addition to physical feats (that would be much less impressive if I included the numbers)—the wisdom that’s supposed to come with age finally kicked in. I just figured out how to use Snippets! And they’re awesome!

I’m wrapping up Hero•Girl•Sprite now, and I thought about how cool it would be to just click a button to display enemy HP. Next game, I’ll have that!
