Going to record games I've beaten this year in a thread just to talk about them a bit.

Wildwood was incredible, Laika is so back animation is the closest thing to real actual magic we've ever done

And so was my wife, so I made Yeto's Superb Soup from Twilight Princess at her request. Kabocha pumpkin with salmon and goat cheese it's very good stuff folks.

In the mood for soup

Dan doing his absolute best spending 20 minutes breaking down an idea just for Rogan to say "That's fascinating, what do you think about [moronic discredited pseudoarchaeology thing]?" Repeating for 3 hours it's tragic 😭

My heart is with everyone who lost loved ones or feared for their safety on October 7, 2023, and in the years since then.

Bianco DiNapolis at my local Costco yippee!!

I try not to be like "Oh (place) has bad drivers" because mostly people do tend to drive pretty similarly all over but this weekend has instilled in me a sincere belief that Chicago drivers are just the worst

Went to Chicago for a pizza lunch

The 9 anime site doesn't have the correct art for Naoki Urasawa's Monster (2004)

$83 to fill up a Honda Accord

Mike Rogers refuses to talk about gas, groceries, seeing a doctor, or our broken infrastructure. Mike Rogers only wants to talk about old culture wars fought by small people with smaller ideas and no solutions to our actual problems.

dudes rock

Got milk at Costco this morning and saw a $600 Sonic the Hedgehog arcade machine what are we doing here man. PS5 money on a cab that doesn't even have Sonic 3&K on it

Listen it's all very simple. Saying Jews as an ethnic group are united in a secret conspiracy to rule the world and creating a song explicitly glorifying Hitler is what we in the music industry call a "mistake". Nothing like the inexcusable antisemitism of being opposed to genocide.

Supposed "budget concerns" when it's time to drop another few hundred million dollars on a live service game you'll shut down within 6 months

There is just no path forward for video games. Consoles will cost $1000+ and have no games that you won't own. Personal computing is dead, there's just nothing left, you can only go back and play old games and the occasional indie title.

Right. Like, MAHA isn’t a push for equitable access to care. It’s eugenics under the guise of “healthy living.” There’s plenty of somewhat normalizing woo and almond mom and ~natural~ in the mix, but that’s just noise. The signal is the strongest survive, and no regard for the lessers who don’t.

I think MAHA is very straightforwardly the triumph of the snake oil salesmen and the way we beat it is the same way you always beat snake oil salesmen: regulate their claims

250K homes and businesses are still without power after yesterday’s storms. Michigan has the slowest power restoration after storms in the nation, yet we have the highest energy bills in the Midwest. Why? Utilities like DTE are ripping us off.

The old quiz was spot on, this one is WRONG. I do NOT sound like someone from Delaware or Philly I promise you.

Got a Tom Barrett TV ad and the only thing they mention is that he'll "stop sex changes for children" these people have nothing but their rancid culture war, they're pathetic

yea cream on it

Protesting an oil company that poisoned your home for profit? Unforgivable sin for Republican voters, who famously would never even think of supporting someone with a criminal record.

Last night I made Jamaican brown stew chicken with rice and peas for dinner. I went light on the pepper for the sake of my wife but I can really tell it's asking for heat so next time I'll see how much I can dial up the spice. Pretty great taste though.

Jamaican food might be the most British cuisine of all its colonies. And yet when they do it, the food seems so good

Would really like to see the flowchart on whether or not you accuse people inconveniencing you of being either trans or Muslim because that's really all they got these days

Crazy that you don't hear about all the miraculous wonder drug benefits to smoking weed now that it's legal so many places. Wonder what that's about

Cast my vote for sinister arab communist Abdul El-Sayed today in the primary. The seat of the American caliphate will be Dearborn.

I've been in the Upper Peninsula for 2 days and have seen more Finnish flags than at any point in my life they're really about it here

I've decided to begin posting on Substack, and to begin I make an argument for beginner cooks to build their spice cabinets with an ingredient focused mindset. Check it out at open.substack.com/pub/fireyams...

Smells like campfire and feels like hitting a cig outside is this good

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
