July’s Reading Wrap-Up: #TheLangoliers made me want to rewatch the film. Looking back Bronson Pinchot deserved an award for his performance as Craig Toomey - Balki can act!

Also real interested to see if the film adaptation of #TheLongWalk sticks to the same ending. #Booksky #reading #Fable

Bought a $1700 PC this week and have been primarily using it to play #FinalFantasyVI for the first time…

I’m playing the GBA version and tracking my progress via retroachievements.org for those interested.

Here’s what I read last month. #TheLongWalk and #BetweenTwoFires definitely stuck with me the most, but I’m also glad I finished #TheHandmaid’sTale in the appropriate month of June lol.

#Booksky #reading #Fable

#Gamesky Confession: I’m playing #FinalFantasyTactics for more than an hour the very first time. I recently beat FFTA & A2 so figured it was time to play what so many call the best #SRPG of all time.

I’m also tracking my progress with #RetroAchievements so feel free to follow or share some tips.

#GameSky: I’m two hours into this and I’ve spent 90 minutes backtracking and haven’t encountered a single Slime.

So many people swear this is their favorite #JRPG, but maybe you had to have been there? It’s like how #Morrowind is my favorite TES but I don’t expect #Skyrim players to understand…

Well #Booksky, that’s a wrap for May! Definitely scratched that #dystopia itch for the month lol.

77 books down this year so far! #readingchallenge #Fable

Published in 2003, #MargaretAtwood predicted artificially generated slop and its impact on the Arts.

It’s weird when you’re reading a two+ decade old science fiction book only to realize you’re living it…

Crazy that I call myself a King fan yet never heard of The Long Walk until I saw the trailer for the film last week before “Sinners” (incredible btw). Really excited to dive into that one especially.

Yeah I think I will start with this one as well!

Today’s book haul: #TheLongWalk, #BetweenTwoFires, and #DungeonCrawlerCarl.

Not sure which one I should tackle first…🧐

Those who cry, “they can’t get away with that — it’s illegal!” fail to recall the teachings of #Airbud:

Damn, brotherrrrr…

Decided to finally read #TheTower series in its entirety and loved how wild and meta it got by the fifth book. I knew there would be callbacks to King’s work, but wasn’t expecting one to #OnWriting.

Next month I think I’ll try to head back into The Expanse. #Booksky #horror #Fable #StephenKing

The #FinalFantasyX: Director’s [Buzz]cut hits different.

It only took me two decades but I finally won the first playable #Blitzball match in #FinalFantasyX.

Ten years ago it was totally not weird to solicit feet pics from children as long as you worked for #Nickelodeon.

I mean, it totally was weird regardless but we let it slide kinda like how we still let Jared Leto creep on teens, run his cult and star in major motion pictures.

Taking a break from fiction to dive into the memoir of #Facebook / #Meta whistleblower #SarahWynn-Williams.

With Zuck taking the stand today I figured it was time to get caught up on some of the lore…

#KatyPerry after returning from her #BlueOrigin: “Definitely go for it!”

Unless poverty has been harnessed as a new fuel source I don’t think we can, Katy.

#TheLastofUs fans are weird, and I say this as a fan.

When the #Halo series dropped the fans almost universally hated it, but aside from the bombardment of “MasterCheeks” memes it remained pretty civil.

They didn’t spend hours a day dogging actor’s appearances or fan-casting to the void…

Just started the latest season of #TheHandmaid’sTale on #Hulu and I’m sorry but there is zero chance little miss war criminal would have made it off that packed train of blood thirsty passengers. 🙄

Can’t stop thinking about the 7th season of #BlackMirror.

I laughed; I cried; I cringed.

While my favorite episode will likely forever be “San Junipero,” this overall was the best season imo, and it doesn’t even come close. Paul Giamatti’s episode (euology) _broke_ me

#sci-fi #Netflix #anthology

#NSFW language: I just started playing #Fortnite with a buddy and we “synced up” for the first time tonight. We only play #ZeroBuild because we’re elder millennials incapable of outboxing teenagers, but I’m still proud of tonight’s performance of 2 dubs, albeit zero crowns.

#Twitch

I know it’s just this photo, but I can def see Kiernan Shipka playing her in a biopic now lmao

Currently reading the third book in #TheExpanse series and gotta say this is easily my favorite one so far.

The ring’s anomalous properties remind me a lot of #CixinLiu’s depiction of deterrences used by hyper advanced civilizations, especially “black domains.”

Playing: #PerfectDark. I honestly forgot how polished this game was for its time — a time when Rare was arguably the most GOATed developer on the scene.

Wasn’t a fan of “Zero” and am not sold on the Mirror’s Edge inspired installment coming up, but this is peak. #GameSky #RetroAchievements

Just started reading this last week with zero idea this was coming out, so you have no idea how excited I am right now. The tone looks perfect!
