Liz, just go google โ€œK-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrackโ€ and give it a listen. Itโ€™s infectious. The movieโ€™s animation is good, and the story is actually not bad.

Ok, Iโ€™ve signed up to be notified when tickets go on sale for the K-Pop Demon Hunters sing-along theatrical release! Itโ€™s rare that a movie comes along that everyone in the family is excited about. :)

My Star Trek loving daughter and I started season 3 of STN last night. Before starting the episode we needed to do a recap. But not of the overall plot of season 2, just of all the romances going on in the show. lol!

A photo of General Orders: Sengoku Jidai being demoed at Gen Con 2025. A game board is set up with various wooden pieces in red and black, surrounded by a support board and reference cards. In the background is a pair of game boxes and a banner showing off the cover art of medieval Japanese soldiers in a black-and-white style.

Ukrainian Sea Drones Launch โ€˜Baba Yagasโ€™ Against Russian Air Defenses in Crimea Ukraine used heavy Lazar bomber drones piggy-backed on sea drones to destroy high-value Russian air defense radars positioned on the occupied Crimean Peninsula.

Another glorious example of modern day By Stealth & Sea. @6xwa.bsky.social

I recently reorganized my game shelves so that my historical games are arranged by time period. It seems fitting that these two would be together.

The main reason is that if it has to do with any sort of potential intel/security issue, I have to go through an insane review process at work to ensure there's no classified material in the game. But depending on the topic, it can also just make me feel a bit uncomfortable.
