I want to click on that link, but I fear that it will take me down a rabbit hole that I won't be able to escape (at least, not for half an hour or so).

I need to make another Costco run…

Costco has Nintendo eshop gift cards for 20% off today through Monday. Great way to save 20% off Switch 2 consoles/accessories by buying direct from Nintendo using using your eshop balance (max allowed balance was recently increased). www.costco.com/digital-code...

Flavor rotation for Good Lazy Donuts from 11/29-12/7: Calamansi Cheesecake Black Forest Brown Sugar Milk Tea Candy Cane Misugaru Savory Everything

@neonepiphany.com no whipped ube this time, but I’m very intrigued by the Black Forest. Also curious about the calamansi, misugaru, and milk tea. I’ve tried the everything bagel in the past. It’s good, but I’d stick to the sweet flavors.

Narrator: their curiosity got the best of them, as it was a rubbery-textured, overly-seasoned monstrosity that was quickly discarded so the focus could be shifted to the mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams, and cranberry sauce.

This is our first Thanksgiving trying out an entree that is vegetarian (the last few holidays we’ve just focused on the side dishes and skipped the meat entree). Curious how this is going to be.

One of the few times reading my email inbox where I ended up laughing out loud. Thanks, @theonion.com

@xkcd.com Boy, today’s strip really hit home. We’re a few years behind that timeline, but not by much. Thank you for this: xkcd.com/3172

Silent Hill 2 out on Xbox Store ($34.99) buff.ly/EGtErq7

Screenshot showing all achievements for the main game and expansion completed for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle.

Finding that last item was a bit challenging, even with the in-game guide. But managed to knock out that last achievement to finish the expansion. I enjoyed revisiting the world and seeing some new areas and puzzles. But I missed the brilliance of the villain and the companions from the main game.

I now know who I'm going to reach out to for an antibody transfusion should I ever fall critically ill from an infection. You're probably immune to things that haven't even been discovered, yet.

Trying to decide which scenario is the scariest: smacking your head on the corner of a table, or faceplanting on carpet that sounds like it harbored a microbial ecosystem so advanced that it was on the verge of developing its own written language.

🎊 Congratulations to all the studios and teams nominated for @thegameawards.com today, especially our pals at @obsidian.net, #NinjaTheory, and @compulsiongames.bsky.social! 🫶 We're raising our tiki glasses to you all today!

GAME OVER: $25k+ of tech stolen from Kent arcade Tens of thousands of dollars worth of vintage video game equipment was stolen from a Kent arcade this week.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

Congrats!

This reminded me that I need to pick up my game save for Herdling. I've really enjoyed my time with the game so far.

Happy to dig into the issue when you get back and have some time. Shoot me a DM whenever it's convenient for you to gather some info from that PC and I can take a look.

If you have a moment and would like us to take a closer look, please shoot me a DM. Note: we do have updates to the Xbox PC app to improve download speeds that have started rolling out (news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/1...)

The amount of effort Republicans are spending to try to avoid feeding the hungry is astounding. The GOP does a lot of grandstanding saying that they’re Christians, but their actions are the exact opposite of what Jesus taught.

And that sweet, sweet shingles vaccine

I wonder if they could have won if had they more proof.

Brilliant

FYI, Twig has a PhD in lighthouses 🎓

Wow. That’s a ton of kids. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

Boy, the weather wasn’t very cooperative for trick-or-treating Friday night. We only had three kids brave the downpour to come to our house. Really grateful that Ridwell will pick up leftover candy tomorrow to donate to local charities.

Same. It would have been cool to see Toronto win the series after such a long gap. But regardless, that was a crazy game.

Hey, look, it's the little Pentiment easter egg I put in! 😅 Was hoping someone would catch this!
