It ended up arriving the night of launch day. Probably didn't help the site that I was refreshing the status every five minutes that day...

The Mets lost two starting pitchers this month to fielding injuries.

Can we just have designated fielders so that pitchers never leave the mound? These guys already have to regularly throw 100mph-plus pitches and deal with torpedo bats, why should they have to field too?

I'm only half joking.

Ontrac no longer has tracking information for my Switch 2 that was supposed to arrive today. That's, uh.... not good, is it?

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?"

Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

I will take any opportunity given to me to talk about View Askew's golden age and videogames. Had a blast with my @vgapocalypse.bsky.social pals!

The only place I've liked is Oakland, which has the approach of "fuck it, just come out front, nobody's here."

Once again, I missed celebrating a 10th anniversary by one day. On April fools day 2015, I appeared on the VGMpire podcast to discuss the amazing music of Suikoden with @brelston.bsky.social and @butterwomp.bsky.social. It's more timely now than it was a decade ago! www.vgmpire.com/2015/04/01/v...

Some good stuff in this thread, many of which I heard, but there was also the subsection of Horny Dads who would inadvertently ask if we had games for the Playboy Advance.

Something that nobody ever tells you about being a parent is how frequently you will publicly ask your child if they pooped or tootedโ€ฆ in front of a now-mortified stranger who had intended to cut one in peace.

An electrical fire from probably ten or so plugs in a single outlet from โ€œA Christmas Story โ€œ

This finally got to me on my 50th rewatch of A Christmas Story. I cannot fathom how the Parkers need 10 items plugged in just one room. MAYBE two light fixtures, a radio, Christmas tree lights, a leg lampโ€ฆ what else? Are they leaving electric trains plugged in all day? Is there one outlet per floor?

At least once a year, I will think about this caption from @pseudobread.bsky.social and have a little chuckle

I know Charlie Brown is worried about the commercialization of the holiday season in his Christmas Special, but I feel like that entire universe should be more concerned that children yelling a commonly-used phrase have the ability to just Fus Ro Dah the shit out anyone in their path.
