I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.

I'm craving a game like Clive Barker Undying and unfortunately I don't think there's anything else out there that fits that niche. In my mental Venn Diagram I can't think of a lot of games that hit the cosmic horror/medium paced fps sweet spot

It would be nice if trying to reach a higher profit margin meant "do more and better" not "move numbers that represent human lives and working product around a spreadsheet"

Donut County was Kes' favorite game played through @gamepass.xbox.com who apparently stopped announcing when games are leaving. Now I have to explain the ephemeral nature of streaming content to a 5 year old #funtimes

Kes and I have paused Warcraft lore and have switched over to 40k, which is fun to sanitize for a 5 year old. Yesterday he learned of the fall of the Eldar and birth of Slanesh, god of greed & excitement. He wanted to see a picture and I told him no his mortal mind just couldn't comprehend her form

There are signs that state the speed limit is 25 mph, a warning for those going over 25 but under 40 right right before a traffic light, and an unprotected bike lane for bikes going uphill. Is this not textbook quality safety design?!?

I see your valuation and raise you a "where are the family sharing features they tested years ago that just about every other streaming service like this has"

I have absolutely fallen down a Warhammer 40k lore hole. I don't even play the game but I picked up Tacticus just a scratch that itch.

whatcha playin? I feel like I'm in a slump.

Agreed!

Have fun at PAX people attending PAX!

Seattle's new waterfront park, where you can ride your bike to it, but there's no where to lock it up. Also, it's been kindly built out of solar oven parts and tall drops for kids. Parents, feel a sense of nostalgia when you see your kids play on super dangerous looking play equipment

The worst job in this world has to be evolutionary biologist. Just how do you explain a cat turning into a bigger cat, but then a cat girl. Or that an angry pile of eggs is really a single organism, or a bunch of bees in a honeycomb is a single organism, or two mice are a single organism.

I've been playing a lot more Pokémon go and in doing so I'm being introduced to so many new Pokémon I've not seen before... Like the Goth Lolita Pokémon which I find even more confusing than Mr. Mime or Jynx

Cherry 2000 took place in 2017

As an avid comic adaptation fan I'm interested in seeing how Iron Man and his Awesome Friends is going to handle the alcoholism storylines

Th current happy meal toys are the worst. Here child, enjoy playing with this small plastic sculpture of a McDonald's menu item.

Wait, so are we going back to handwritten resumes because I'm pretty sure Word and Docs are 3rd party systems that don't pass that check once you select all and alter the font.

Feels odd being the first parent to a Pre-K graduation. I'm just sitting in the middle of a grass field, at a school, alone.

Salad days

Duo is just getting creepier and creepier

The system was already in a full body cast from Covid when AI came along. The best glib diagnosis I can offer is that we're working with a system whose stated intent is to produce merit but the end product only has a time based acceptance criteria.

When I was a TA in college 20 years ago, I was the bad one of because I had the expectation that the students would read the play before my discussion section. This is a failure of the educational system for not instilling the need for rigor and allowing the false idea of "learning styles" to go on

First smoked tri-tip of the year is a failure, seems apropos for the year

It's weird how the algorithms notice that I'm in to crafts, parenting, and gardening but all the things they show me about crafts, parenting, and gardening are not the corners of these interests I care about.

I know of human, dwarf, and vampire/werewolf metal, but is there any elf, orc, or like tiefling metal?

I spent some time playing Crime Scene Cleaner and I can't remember another game where I walked away thinking "Why did I play that?" Carrying bodies at the insistence of disembodied voices of criminal stereotype people to save your sick game child isn't fun and just gets more depressing as it goes

Kes asked for a story from Warcraft Rumble and he has no idea how deep the well of his request is.

1337 day streak in Duolingo... Heh

We live in a time where past grudges from losers are back on the table and the dark ritual to wake the slumbering dreamcast is almost complete. Soon the old war will be fought again!
