I’m The Verge’s new AV expert, ask me anything! Let’s talk about TVs, headphones, speakers, and all things AV.

Well hello there, Bluesky. It's been a while. Popping in to say I'm starting an AMA for @theverge.com subscribers in about 15 minutes!

That Pentium chip must be scorching fast

Goddamnit. Now I want wine, whiskey, and cookies.

That was the takeaway, right?

Poor and Plastic Surgery. Not sure how those two will happen together. Unless the second leads to the first, I guess.

Picking up some drinks at Starbucks and Doobie Brothers’ Black Water is on but only one channel is working so the end a cappella section sounds so bare.

My PC is NOT built for Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3.

How you know you work in tech: when you get an email saying β€œYou could save this much in Windows renewal” you immediately think it means a Windows OS update as opposed to windows for your home.

Especially earlier in the match, but I’m chalking that up to getting comfortable on the stage maybe?

The ref seems to support this strategy

Orange and pink are the new blue.

I’m not jaded or anything, but we got the best two.

It eventually morphs into β€œyou’ll hurt yourself if you do that!” which is basically the exact same thing just different words.

We got Neil an Apple Watch for his birthday. He just opened it yesterday and now I get these amazing messages at unexpected times.

Lucille Bluth meme

I mean, it’s one post, Michael. 

Where could you put it? 10 websites?

Did…did you misspell β€œbourbon?”

Do what you need to do! We’re still all your friends. Hell, maybe it’s a good excuse to finally see each other in person again and have some bourbon!

It’s so damn good! One of the few games of the past couple years I’ve put the time in to completely finish. A couple of the side quests are so disturbing and mesmerizing. Projekt RED does that so well. They could be primary game plots on their own.

July 4 isn’t the same with a newborn anyway. Just a louder Tuesday night.

This is (one of the reasons) why we're friends.

Thanks! This'll fit perfectly next to my colored LP reissue of Become What You Are. When it isn't playing on the platter, that is.

There are few movies as underappreciated as this gem.
Also, going to search for that LP right now.
