Is it weird that Scotty having 10 fingers in this art bothers me? Star Trek never drew attention to it, but James Doohan lost a finger on D-Day. It feels a little hollow to have the art style for this set so focused on capturing the actors’ likenesses only to miss that sort of detail.

Amazon says I don’t have a preference for sparkling water brands, except I also prefer Liquid Death, except I also prefer Nixie. Very consistent, Amazon.

We had an unexpected visitor drop by last night. Thankfully there was no olfactory evidence of their visit, but I’m really not keen on the idea of a skunk hanging around. Especially if it manages to find its way into the backyard while the dogs are out there.

Out with my wife at her hair appointment, and this salon is definitely playing Splatoon music.

And we’re live! Go back my new gaaaaaame!

Started playing Pokémon Crystal in preparation of the impending Bank shutdown. Figured if I was going to do this, it was now or never. Anyway, Shiny Time Onion acquired!

Did Kirby just hit Dedede so hard he broke the 4th wall?

The Ocarina of Time remake dropping the day after I’m supposed to have my surgery is weirdly fortuitous timing. Depending on how strong my pain medication is I may not be able to start immediately, but I definitely will have something to occupy me during recovery!

My wife decides to go out in a red shirt, denim overalls, and red ball cap; but apparently I’m *not* supposed to point out she’s dressed like Super Mario.

It’s weird that there will be two Magic the Gathering prereleases this year that can be associated with Leonard Nimoy.

A story in three parts.

I feel like I should acknowledge that it’s my birthday today somewhere. This being a significant milestone birthday I’m allowed to be vague about though!

“Fine, I’ll do it myself.”

Every so often, I find a Pokémon Go hitbox that is actually impressive with how bad it is.

This may be my most unpopular gaming opinion, but I do not like Xenoblade Chronicles’ gameplay. The soundtrack is amazing, but I have given the game itself multiple chances and have yet to actually enjoy interacting with it.

Who are these people setting off fireworks on Wednesday, July 8th. When it’s not even dark outside. Inside city limits.

We in the US measure time in Presidential administrations. When people talk about the Clinton era, for example, that evokes a specific Therefore, our country began on April 30, 1789 and we should adjust our celebrations to match.

I really wish the Switch 2 Joycons were allowed to actually be different colors and not just black with highlights.

I don’t like that Final Fantasy Resonance is doing the nostalgia-bait thing where it pulls in old characters as summons, but it’s a Final Fantasy title that appears to use a take on the classic battle system and honestly at this point I’ll take it.

Killing the pacing of the Direct to show off Thumb Wrestling might be the most Nintendo thing ever.

Did they open a little late for weather-related purposes? Sure. But was the grand opening event the best ramen I’ve ever had? Also very, very, yes. The flavor from the beef was perfectly mirrored in the broth, which was in turn absorbed by the noodles. Every bite was pure magic.

I drove past a restaurant called “China Chef” the other day and I still cannot mentally reconcile that the “ch” in each word makes a different sound. My brain wants it to phonetically match so badly.

Do I intend to purchase Star Fox (2026)? Yes. Do I think it’s a problem that half the games in this franchise are retellings of the same event? Also yes.

Getting a random YouTube alert for a Nintendo Star Fox direct was probably the least likely way I expected today to end, but it’s certainly not the worst!

Is there a single character, in all of fiction, who has a more skewed ratio of face recognition to name recognition than Grogu? Is there one that even comes close?

One game down of Strixhaven prerelease. Current thought? Killian’s Confidence is just an absurd card. This plus all the Repartee triggers is just silly.

Happy Baseball Day to those that celebrate!

Did a few prompts for that youraislopbores.me thing that everyone’s doing. My apologies to the person who asked me for an HSR drawing- I only realized later you probably meant Honkai Star Rail and not Homestar Runner. I’m clearly too old for whatever the kids are doing online these days.

I do love seeing the overlap of Pokémon and Ghost Trick fans after the reveal of the new Pomeranian starter. And yes, I’ll be naming mine “Missile” as well.

It feels a little soon to be getting another Water Lizard starter. Like they’re calling a mulligan on Sobble or something.

I’m going to choose to believe Chris Hemsworth wasn’t acting and is the only person involved in Super Bowl commercials with a reasonable attitude toward AI.

That Liquid IV pee commercial sure was a thing they put on our TVs.

This might be Artemis’ first snow, at least her first significant one. It’s the first one she’s had with us at least, and I don’t think we had anything too heavy last winter. I don’t think she quite knows what to make of it.

Happy birthday to these six puppies! Hard to believe it’s been a whole year. Also feels weird in the original post that I’m not referring to Artemis by her name, but we hadn’t officially planned to adopt her ourselves at that point (even though we were both thinking it).

It’s Apollo’s 5-year Gotcha Day! This little guy and I have been through so much together already, and I wouldn’t trade him for the world.

no idea

Remember a few years back where a woman went viral for being horny for the Grinch, and insisted it was actually a very common thing? I’m glad to see she was able to get a job with McDonald’s.

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

“Hey, we should make a remote controlled flying toy of Sonic the Hedgehog.” “Oh, the guy who often gets carried around by his friend who flies by spinning his tails like a helicopter? Great idea!” “Yeah, I figured we’d have him in a standing pose with rotors growing out of his head.”

I love how we just get random drops of new Homestar Runner content once or twice a year with relatively minimal fanfare. Just casually releasing a new Strong Bad Email in 2025, as though it’s the most normal thing in the world.

I realized as we left the movie that I wore a green cardigan and black jeans to Wicked: For Good. I’m sure someone at the theater thought I was coordinating on purpose.
