@kikamonster.bsky.social's husband tagged me as a 1, and I can't even argue.

I’m so sorry, Bel. I can’t offer much more than words, but I’m thinking of you and yours.

It’s way more of an upgrade than I expected! I can’t wait to get my Skull and Co grips.

When it comes to AI, does anyone else just use it as the new Google? As in because Google has broken itself, I tend to use ChatGPT or Deepseek to find what I really want and then go to the website for the full article.

All other crap about AI aside, it’s funny that it’s better than Google now.

I just saw Elio and it might be the best thing Pixar has done since the first Inside Out. If you love a heartwarming Sci Fi adventure like ET or Flight of the Navigator it’s well worth it.

Give me Sly Stallone next. #Deepcut

The first time I played @playrematch.com I didn't know what was going on and though I was supposed to be on Goal, I took the ball and decided to charge upfield.

The second time I played #Rematch, I didn't know what was going on, and let the other team score because I dove when I should not have.

The constant need to be hitting new growth goals due to stock prices being tied to it is what has us all stuck on a treadmill instead of enjoying life. It kind of sucks.

I’m of the mind that the world will only get better when everyone has 3-4 day weekends, and the work day is 4-6 hours long.

But corporate greed has to be obliterated first… and well?

Me want so bad.

It’s far away, but I saw Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Nathaniel Rateliff last night. It was as awesome as you might imagine.

He’s totally going to try and kill Zendaya’s man.

Thanks. Needed that in my head.

One month. It's been one month since @leifjohnson.bsky.social passed, and it has made it so hard to care about MMOs - the genre Leif and I would play constantly together. @duneawakening.com has been the first one I've been able to play since he passed, and it's been healing in its own way.

Last morning, last sunset. Going to miss this place. Mahalo, Hawaii. #hawaii

Day 6 had dolphins, flying fish, and lots of smiles. Love it here.#Hawaii

Day 5 was all about nature at the Volcano National Parks! #hawaii

Day 4 had a Luau, a Moke, and the Petroglyph park! #Hawaii

Ken’s from Day 2, and some Turts on a morning jog for Day 3. Big Island Best Island? #Hawaii

Day two… made a friend! #Hawaii

Not a bad day one #Hawaii.

Cannot wait to play this one (I may have already, but it’ll be so much more fun to play it with all of you!).

So... everything's a Soulslike now, I think.

Got to stream The Alters on AMD's Twitch from @11bitstudios.bsky.social today. I rarely say this - but this game is something truly special.

You are NOT ready for this game, folks. It's so good.

Probably quite late to the party, but “The Thursday Murder Club” books are incredibly joyful to read.

I like “diabolical” for this. It’s as though the lines and airport are sentient and plan this to get back at weary travelers who disrespect the terminals.

BRB - writing some JFK Evil Airport fan fiction then sending it to @stephenking.bsky.social for his feedback.

Play Something New, Before You Can't (with Thomas Wilde) Into The Skybox · Episode

New Into the Skybox time! In this episode, @brianbarnett.bsky.social talks to @stolisomancer.bsky.social about his "Play Something New, Before You Can’t" feature.

Brian and Thomas get into the impact of late-stage capitalism on game publisher behavior, the responsibility of consumers, and more:

Tiny Bookshop made me miss being a bookseller Thank you for shopping at my bookstore on wheels and not on Amazon

Hot DAMN I love a good preview.

When I say you're not ready for how GOOD Tiny Bookshop is, I mean it. You all are in for a treat.

Thanks @polygon.com and @manchesterwrites.bsky.social!
