As a lifetime resident of the DMV it truly makes me sad to see the state of our once great local paper. The fact my grandfather was a regional distributor back in the day only twists the knife further. We have so much vintage Post merch in the family.

For a moment there I was confused until I remembered it was his brother Eugene who succeeded Abigail Spanberger in VA-7

Solid water is going to need a branding change at this rate.

The AKOM inspired colors on the MP-40 release feel like an optical illusion fever dream, especially on the boots. I picked up that copy cheap on a whim a few years ago and was unexpectedly pleased with it in person.

I think it’s time to finally pull the plug entirely on my old account.

Old tweet relevant again with the MPG Hot Rod news:

Transformers #hottake, the MP-28/40 Hot Rod mold is good, and actually more fun to transform than the studio series release. Gotta respect the ambition of using the real car hood and integrating a matrix holder.

A few years ago my aunt was asking me about buying a Wii because her grandson was interested in Retro gaming. I managed to wait to crumble into dust until after giving recommendations.

I’m buying it because I’m a fool that buys too many Bruticus releases, but I’ll be frowning the entire time.

Pretty wild that I just stayed at a Sonder in Chicago last month. Glad to have missed the catastrophe closure by just this much.

Wall of video games using old Toys R Us ticket system.

Found a picture in my phone.

Mid 2017 I stopped by a Toys R Us near Johnstown, PA that still had the ticket system. I wasn’t sure what decade I was in. The nostalgia hit was real.

Tim Kaine needs to be primaried in 2028 for this vote

Genuinely, what is the point of even doing a mobile order or a drive-thru if 90% of the time you’re stuck pulling into a ‘drive-thru’ parking space.

Apparently subtlety is only for cowards AND the historically inaccurate these days.

Whatever little hope I had for the next Mass Effect game has pretty much been extinguished.

You know it’s probably for the best there’s no tiebreaker games anymore. If the Mets can’t beat the Marlins when their season is on the line, then they don’t really deserve a play-in game.

It seems to have been floating around the area for a few years now. At one point it was at Tosche Station Echo Base in Chantilly.

Well after 7 years, I no longer have the blemish of never having beat the radiance in Hollow Knight. It was a fun run overall, after coming off Silksong.

I know a lot of people replayed Hollow Knight right before Silksong’s launch. I’m almost done doing the reverse and it’s an interesting contrast to be back with the Knight.

Between voting early, and beating Silksong Act 3; I’m feeling pretty accomplished today.

Extremely happy that the latest Dandadan chapter didn’t end at pg. 11 as a really mean tease.

I was so relieved when I didn’t have to fight the summoned beast on Mount Fay

I think my single biggest gripe with Silksong is what feels like an over reliance on enemy rush challenge rooms especially in act 2. Some of the bosses have been hard and the constant two mask damage isn’t my favorite, but it’s the sheer amount of challenge rooms that’s getting to me.

This is hitting my local nostalgia. I remember when they had multiple retail locations. I picked up my Hori Game Boy Player Controller from one.

Is Silksong one of the first games that hit release with its esrb rating still pending? It’s quite surprising to see that on the eshop page

It was more of a struggle than expected, but now I have Silksong downloading on my switch

Why was UFO50 in the sizzle reel portion of the Indie presentation?! Regardless I’m hyped, since I’ve been eyeing it from afar.

A friendly reminder that just like the Macross Franchise is more than SDFM, so too is Robotech more than just its ‘Macross Saga’. At worst I’m just expecting domestic releases of the Toyrise Legoiss as an Alpha Fighter. If Takara or BigWest announce a SDFM collab then start the Jetfire hype in force

Mine’s had a wide head screw installed crudely installed for the last 20 years

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.
