Damn: update broke my mods (obviously). RIP to my Noir Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough.

It’s funny how big the gulf is between my knowledge of Marvel vs DC. Playing Cosmic Invasion and I not only know every character and every re-color’s comic reference But when Firestorm shows up in Injustice I’m like “literally all I know is Alex Ross allegedly hates him”

I don’t think I realized just how much I didn’t vibe with the book until I just started “Legion” by William Peter Blatty on a whim and now I’m listening whenever I get the chance — which never happened with “On Basilisk Station”

Jamming out to 'Money for Nothing' at work after someone posted a great Rogue One edit, then it gets to the third verse

This is not like a big societal change or anything but I'm old enough that I'm still always stunned by how advanced Bluetooth technology is. Airpods came out ten years ago and it still feels like magic to me.

Halfway through the book and if I didn't need a tenth book to round out my annual "Top Ten" I'm not sure I'd finish it, which is very rare for me. It's hard coming off several books (fiction and non-fiction) where I couldn't wait to get back to it. This just feels like a chore.

My three career fields have been comics, journalism and (briefly) videogames, and every single day waking up to the news in those industries is like this

Catching up on Absolute Batman and Bane’s first confrontation with Batman is so goddamn good

I know everybody’s justifiably mad about the closure but I think the EA blame is a smokescreen for a lot of leadership failures in-studio. Saw the same with Destiny. You’re talking about a studio with massive back-to-back flops whose only upcoming game was still in pre-production

And I speak of spiritual suffering! Of people seeing their talent, their work, their lives wasted. Of good minds submitting to stupid ones. Of strength and courage strangled by envy, greed for power, fear of change.

A Gen Z colleague told me he's watching the Back to the Future trilogy in one minute, vertically cut increments on TikTok -- I feel like I've died and gone to hell

Now that most of the bugs have been ironed out, Andromeda mostly stands shoulder to shoulder with the others. The cardinal sin is there’s functionally only one alien race, but the Angara are one of the best in the whole series and Jaal is a top tier companion.

Every time there's a new season of Rings of Power

Newsroom question today is "would you rather give up kissing or sauce for life" and I've never seen the room so divided

Somebody asked on a show recently, "should companies be political?" and I wasn't really sure in the moment, but watching devs like this take a righteous stance on an issue does push me back toward "yes, they should; 'we're not going to get political' is usually a shield for cowardice"

Either me or @ign.com have the wrong impression of what 'Slow Horses' is about

I’d be a Franciscan Priest

I don’t *have to* wear the headset or use the T-bar fader, but I feel like Han Solo when I do so yes I do have to

Been hooked on playing this with a buddy of mine. Incredibly fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7eY...

Reading “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” and there’s a great little tangent partway through just to talk about how shitty Red Dawn (and its remake) are

Daniel Warren Johnson and Mike Spicer's 'Beta Ray Bill' miniseries is five issues long and they make every single page feel breathtaking.

I have a habit of getting four stories removed from a comic I meant to read because we went back to something else leading into it. Like reading "Absolute Carnage" because it leads into "King in Black" which has one "Hellfire Gala" crossover issue, which is what I was reading in the first place.

Lord I have repented for my spending on Destiny 2 fashion. Save your servant from the temptation of Diablo IV cosmetics

One morbid side effect of having a bunch of friends die this year is my first thought looking at a nice picture my mom took of me is “oh nice, I hope they use this at the funeral”

My son Cadien is eight months old, which means only 148 months left until he's old enough to watch Andor

Gently rebuffing my colleague as they try to goad me into a political debate

Tune in to Like It Or Not to see me get very mad about theatre etiquette and very quiet whenever the topic turns to sports because I don't know anything about them www.fox5dc.com/live

I was just remembering my Russian professor called me дурак (Durak), meaning "Fool". Her brother visited from St. Petersburg and when I gave him a tour he said "You should know, it's a term of endearment. She called me that growing up." "Aw, so she likes me?" "She is still calling you an idiot."
