AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

I used to think that Hannibal was a shocking outlier regarding what they got away with depicting on network TV, but the more ER I take in, nope, the bar was set a long time ago apparently.

I'm definitely of the opinion that the humour is dated as hell and would prefer a different tone, but the game, while a time investment for sure, has me completely hooked. The way the game keeps unfolding more than makes up for the stunted runs I crash into every now and then.

that one seems like a good re-watch. Might've been long enough since last time that it'll feel new again.

And like, the tone swings? I'm sorry, just how do you justify following that with this?

90's TV was something else!

It's wild to think about how TV used to be produced compared to nowadays. Fully convinced myself this ep of ER HAD to be the season finale just on gravity alone, but no, there's 5 more after this.

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldnโ€™t get it

No. It's fine. I just found it much less compelling than the first time out.

Might just be a serialized storytelling problem? Def not the first time a season two of a really tight and enjoyable show turned out like this imo.

15.02.2026 23:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

A couple of seasons of a TV show on Innistrad perhaps?

I think the rewards are more drawn out and I need to get excited for it again as it were.

But every time I hit a new milestone there is definitely more interest to follow up on.

I genuinely feel like we need to see video games fleshing out MTG lore, AA RPG or hack and slash adventure style stuff. Doesn't have to be current, just keep characters alive in the consciousness so when they show up in the game there's more recognition and attachment.

Mewgenics is so fascinating as I am totally hooked, but I can really only play for about 20 minutes at a time before I get restless... but then it's like an hour before I've booted it back up again.

15.02.2026 21:03 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

New video is up for Patrons! Now to take a version of a day off and play some games or something.

Wish me luck.

If this is what I think it's referring to, the person I watched with tonight asked the EXACT same question.

I am way too excited to play it... just need to reign in the spending.

I know that I blasted through that show's original run back in university, but I remember so little about it.

13.02.2026 18:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Geeze, I had no idea there was more Scrubs happening until just now.

Been interesting juggling The Pitt and ER the last few days. Road maps for reaching the same ideas through procedure and melodrama respectively.

Also wow is this a big dose of the 90's!

Okay, after like 3 straight days of editing, new video(s) are DONE! Now to just watch them like 100 times each to make sure I won't hate them as soon as I upload.

But first... I'm gonna play video games for a while.

Really enjoying Mewgenics so far, but oh boy, I must've gotten lucky out of the gate. Breezed through the caves on my third run only for the boss of the area to suddenly completely put me in my place, and now I'm genuinely having trouble getting out of the alley again.

omg, is that Private Party!?

Watching wrestling live for the first time in months feels good!

Deciding to pair it with my first listen of the new Big Big Train album is certainly dissonating the ambience somewhat.

12.02.2026 02:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The infinite rush of it all has definitely got me thinking about retro stuff a whole lot more.

12.02.2026 02:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So... I threw on ER for background noise while editing today and...

... I'm gonna be watching all of this aren't I?

11.02.2026 23:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

oh... wow.

I suddenly need to play Warcraft 2 again, like... soon.

Okay, wow. I think that's picture lock on the new video. Time to see if I can have this up for patrons by the weekend.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate โ€” overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

uhhhh, okay... my throat hurts again, and I'm coughing way more all of a sudden?

Can I not do this again pls?
