I've been making more time to get back into video games. A friend got me Monster Hunter: World for Christmas. There's a lot I like and dislike, but they sure put a lot of effort into this gloriously dumbass cat suit. How... Capcom. I love it.

Given the length of my absence (2020 was, what, 10, 20 years long?), it means quite a lot to me that I am receiving birthday well-wishes. I've missed you all, and have been hoping you've been staying safe.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everyone. It definitely takes the edges off the (admittedly silly) existential nightmare I have over getting older. You're all delightful and beautiful. Eurobeat metal cover unrelated but still great.

I have appeared from the darkness to wish a very happy birthday to Wes the mighty Taco. Never change, Wes - and in that I mean please never stop being minutely older than me (and keep loving those adorable towel-dogs).

A Merry Christmas and Nondenominationalgiftandfoodholiday to everyone! My family holiday is put off a few days due to scheduling, so I'm spending the day baking cookies and pies - because I can. You are all dearly loved! Speaking of - Steam keys inside!

TREMBLE DESTRUCTOID. QUIVER IN WHAT IN SOMETHING-RESEMBLING-FEAR, FOR THE GIFTOCALYPSE IS UPON YOU. THE ONLY ESCAPE FROM ITS ICY GRIP IS TO EMBRACE FRIENDSHIP. DIVEST YOURSELF OF SPARE KEYS. GIVE GAMES FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF DOING SO. NO MONEY? GIFT A HUG.

Early in the month, I promised Chris and Flanx that I would eat decadently for their birthdays. I did so, and since I am posting this so late, would like to extend my gluttony in their honor to all the November birthdays of Dtoid. #Foodtoid

Thanks to the combined work of Dtoid, I have been lured from my shadowy Mod work into the open. It is true things have been pretty rough the past few months. Thank you to everyone for the love and encouragement. Have a video about the greatness of bed.

Today I celebrate 7 years of being on Dtoid. I think that's amazing. I don't think I'm very good at being social, so the fact that I'm in the place I am after all these years - I think that's just a testament to how wonderful you all are.

This month's Humble Monthly is a damn-tempting one. Kerbal Space Program, Ruiner, and Dead Rising 4 for $12 - plus the mystery titles & 10% in the store. If it's your first time with monthly, I have a blatant shill for you in the comments.

A few weeks ago, I uttered the words, "Hey, doesn't Yukari look a bit like Pipimi?" and the next thing I knew this monstrosity of a cursed image was drawn for me. Seeing it as my Discord avatar then inspired #DeScrufftoid . The curse spreads.

*My reaction after every episode of Mitchiri Neko*

Did everyone have a good weekend? I know I did other things, but all I can remember doing Saturday or Sunday was killing spambots. I'm stopping typing this to kill them. This is my life now, Dtoid.

Do you like dating undatable things? Of course you do! The Office Type is about dating anthropomorphic office supplies. Also the toner cartridges have dogs. They're doing a fundraiser @muchtooheavy on Twitter.

YOU ARE ALREADY DEA- I MEAN LOVED.

I haven't been on the Qposts in a day or two, and this is what I see.

Did you know that the Destructoid Gaming Master List is now almost exactly a year and a half old? Well, it is! You've been fusing together for that long. Co-op, gattai, symbiotic clothing fusion... same thing, right? Thanks for your support all this time!

How do you do, fellow kids?

I really don't know what to say. I don't think it's much of a secret that I don't think a lot of myself, and that I'm always doubting myself in new and (un)exciting ways. To find people wishing me happy birthday (and more) all day? It was a wonderful gift

In my haste to sha-er, wish Wes a very happy birthday, I forgot that it's also Larx's birthday! Truly, I am shamed. Larx is a most wonderfulest of people. I hope your day is a great one. Or a sleepy one. Sleep is good, too.

A very happy birthday to Mr. Wes Tacos, who just turned another year older. Most certainly, this makes him old. Verifiably ancient. What was it like before the telephone, the electric light, and the steam engine?

A Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and generally wonderful Present-Giving-Face-Stuffing Day to All. Thank you to everyone who has joined me in Panda's Joyocalpyse 2017 (and to Seymour for naming it). Love you all!

Steam Sale dilemma: Tekken 7 or Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator? I miss fighting games, and love both franchises, but I only feel comfortable splurging on one of the two.

Ancient Magus Bride is getting a second cour, Made in Abyss season 2 was announced, and My Hero Academia season 3 is coming in March! It looks like 2017's phenomenal anime are bleeding into 2018.

Here's an example of what the internet could be like without net neutrality. If this seems extreme, it's not - it's already happening in Portugal.

In my malaise, I've missed some lovely people's birthdays! Happy birthday to Deadmoon, Chris, and Churros (who understands dulce is the only true churro topping)! I hope I didn't leave anyone out, there were a looot of QP to go through.

Donley made me the main villain of Boss 101, it seems. I'm okay with this.

The purpose of this QP is twofold. The first is to share a trip picture for #dinnertoid. The other is to say that I've posted a couple of articles in the past day or two, and it would mean a lot if people could take a look!

Hi everyone. I'm going to start back in on updating the Master Contact List on a regular basis, but I need your help. Keep your info up-to-date! Tell me if you want stuff (like names) added or removed. The List only exists for and because of you <3
