I don't know what it's called, it's just a thing I do.  I have a weird reflex of responding to people with two statements separated by a comma.  I'm pretty sure it's bad English, so I try to avoid it when I notice.

Though I think it does have a certain charm, it doesn't come naturally to me.

This is a good example, I have nothing more to add.

Joining two independent clauses with a comma and without a conjunction is called a comma splice.  There are stylistic uses for it, but it is indeed typically considered poor grammar in any formal context.  It is thus fortunate that forums are not a black-tie affair.

I set up a small plastic Christmas tree this year (my normal celebrations of Yule have been limited to mulled wine and the occasional excessive meal), for my 1 year old to witness. She scooted over and began pulling bulbs off and bouncing them across the floor. Little scamp.

Peter asked me to watch pokemon with him. Starting to see the old series with him. I think i've waited from before he has born for this moment. Ash just captured Caterpie, the first pokemon he catches.

Mine watched star wars (Ep1) with me, he was a little scared of some of it but he thought the podraces were amazeballs.

Awesome!

You know what comes next, right? Set the spore up with a N64 emulator and the pod racing game

I think i have that squirrelled away someplace.

I wanted to get him a switch so he could play older games on whatever the modern version is of the Nintendo store. We used to have an original wii with some of that on it, but it broke.

That podracing game is so god damn good...

It was the bomb, literally.

Really need a remake of it tbh. Just updated to run on newer systems, new graphics, same old game. Like the Halo: CE anniversary addition.

Which I have been playing, on my brand new laptop. It's been great. The flood are terrifying as always. Never get used to them.

New laptop refuses to let EVE Online run though. Launcher works fine, game itself won't launch. Similar problem with its driver update software, which I got through by restarting and telling windows to allow the driver installer to run, but no such pop-up is made for EVE.

Fired up the Isle again after a year or so long hiatus from it. Had a nice chill time as a raptor, raising lots of baby raptors and hunting stuff. There's something very satisfying about building up a little pack of players and taking on dinosaurs several times your size.

Got some friends together for a full-day thrift-shop outing! The gals in the group scored a whole buttload of fantastic coats and sweaters and pants and other excellent apparel, I settled for a pair of button-up shirts, some new ear studs, some five or six volumes of articles from The Onion, and two fringe schlock books about aliens and lunar magic. They should be a delight to thumb through and giggle about, and I'll admit I'm a little tickled to own a book on a magical practice, general malarkey that I take it for.

The third friend found a pair of chambongs- champagne bongs for the expedient consumption of your favorite bubbly. I've promised to buy a bottle of shitty bubbly and to go through it with him in order to break in the things, which should be dreadfully fun in a brilliantly stupid but delightfully harmless kind of way.

Witnessed a parade, ate some bomb-ass chili, got to utilize my retro metal vacuum-sealed thermos for the first time this year to enjoy some mint tea from, discovered chambongs, had lots of lovely conversation with lovely company, ogh, I feel very enriched today.

My 12 year old just played his first session of D&D with us, he seemed to really enjoy himself.
