Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

It is quite unclear to me why iOS has separate apps for Nites and Reminders. Coming back from Android, some of this stuff is extremely confusing.

This is also how I want to use it. I’ll keep trying…

Does anyone here use the iOS Reminders app? I’d like it to stop suggesting categories for each item I add to my grocery list. I turned off every setting that seems related, but it persists.

diving through sky islands in Crimson Desert like Tears of the Kingdom chasing a train on a trestle bridge in Crimson Desert like Red Dead Redemption flying through rings in Crimson Desert like Superman 64 Superman 64’s infamous flying through rings section

I have seen a bunch of Crimson Desert trailers and I have no idea wtf is going on there. I can see bits of Dragon Age but also Tears of the Kingdom, Red Dead Redemption and, er, Superman 64???

My dad performing on stage as Elvis Presley, with audience members crowding the stage. There is a full backing band and one man dressed as on-stage security.

My mother kisses my father while he’s dressed as Elvis Presley for a community choir performance in the late 1980s.

My sister found some photos of Dad’s performance as Elvis. Looks like Mom approved. This is from the late 80s.

Why are we constantly being told to care about the five million Americans watching Sheriff Country or whatever, and not the fifty million that play Mario Kart.

It’s my Dad’s birthday and he isn’t here anymore, so I’m sharing a remaster of the podcast episode we recorded in late 2015. It’s all about Elvis Presley, who Dad got to see twice in concert. Hope you enjoy it.

I have most or all of the original published episodes. Just need to figure out re-hosting and update/replace the RSS feed. It’s a lot of work but definitely something I want to do someday.

I spent much of tonight editing a podcast. It’s been years since I did that. Hoping to publish this one Thursday— it’s a very personal rerun. We’ll find out if Google Drive can host a single-file show like this.

This is your reminder to go play Mario vs. DK for GBA, now that it's out on the Switch Online catalog!

Unlike the subsequent Mario vs DK games, which annoyingly focus on the boring minis gameplay, this first one is essentially a spiritual successor to the superb DK '94 for original Gameboy.
