Now what’s Nick doing with that keyblade 🤔

I took my new stand mixer on its inaugural spin to make mashed potatoes; I think I need to slightly reduce the ratio of milk used, but otherwise very successful

Hear ye, hear ye Comedy Button fans! With permission from Brian and Max, I've gone and uploaded the video version of The Comedy Button's Butt-Pardy episode to my own YouTube channel for posterity (as the original version of it is no longer viewable online). Enjoy!

FYI - if you've never seen it before, you can check out this overview video I did of the Snake Quake Carrot Cake I discussed on @thisthingrules.bsky.social:

The part about there being a New Jungle book world makes sense, because there's some weirdness wrapped up with the licensing rights for Tarzan (whose world was in the original Kingdom Hearts), so you can imagine them replacing one world with the other.

Either way, I'm all for it!

It was an INCREDIBLE pleasure to be able to sit down with Brian and Max to talk wildly about one of my favorite desserts. Seriously - there are twists and turns in this episode that you won't see coming, it's absolutely must-listen:

(Spoilers: it's Joel, but I mistyped)

Wait...who is "Joe" anyways? We're going to find out together!

No writer is a failure until they are dead. Full stop. A career in writing is built over decades. It's built like a house, brick by brick, book by book. Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit.

And I don't think you're ready to quit

Time to kick off a (year-long) commemoration of one of THE OLDEST video games known to history! 🎊

It’s “Bouncing Ball” — a candidate for the first-ever video game — celebrating its (75th) Diamond Anniversary this year!

I’m on @tierlistgaming.bsky.social this week chatting with @adamgumby.bsky.social about one of my favorite games, Metroid Fusion, which I believe to be one of the best in the series. Go give it a listen!

Every Movie (and TV Show) I’ve Watched in 2026 A list of 11 films compiled on Letterboxd, including Heart of Glass (1976), Zootopia (2016), Zootopia+ (2022), Zootopia 2 (2025) and Tron (1982).

Weirdly I’ve been watching a lot of movies so in 2026 - rather abnormal for me, so I decided to use ye old letterboxd to keep track of all my 2026 watches. (Yes, I did just watch Monkeybone (and I thought it was OK!))

Kozi-Pardy: Third Time's the Charm! by Kozibear It's a new year, which means it's time for more Kozi-Pardy!

FYI: I just released a new instalment of Kozi-Pardy! Enjoyed playing this quite a bit with the @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social crew on yesterday’s Happy Hour podcast; feel free to check it out (keeping in mind that being Jeopardy, it’s best played with a group of players and an MC running the show):

My personal favorite game of 2022! Loved its deceptively somber and bleak atmosphere, as well as finding and assembling all the pieces of the instruction manual; the latter made for a really really cool metagame

“Why are you protesting Minneapolis, you don’t even live there” I dunno man, why are you wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey to a sports bar in Buffalo.

Returnal’s fine shooting & movement mechanics (and the fact that I was already 90% done when I finished Act 3) definitely hard-carried me over the finish line on this one; getting those last few trophies was an excruciating grind. Going to take a teeny break before I try out Ascension!

4. I Platinumed Returnal (my 291st Platinum trophy!)

Good morning! Fuck ice!

house; I was still trying to come to grips on the basic rules of Returnal’s spacefaring universe before the game started questioning whether anything in it is ever real, which made it a little difficult for me to parse its story.

Still a good game overall though, I remain v. excited for Saros!

Overall, I found Returnal’s third-person shooting to be sublime - but I’d be lying if I said that the roguelike wrapper in which said shooter exists is kind of lacking. I also think that the game tips its hand a *little* too early with regards to the abstract/metaphorical stuff involving the (1/2)

3. I beat Act 3 of Returnal!

Another worthy addition to the Shrine (I’ll eventually unbox it when I have a proper enclosed glass case; gotta be careful about pets)

Samus Aran Figma just arrived! Legit feels like I’ve been waiting two years for it

Focaccia topped with pancetta and fried shallots. Tasty!

"Tough one! I think I'd have to say... The Best of The Beatles"
