Wild, I could have sworn Wired had been doing incredible journalism, oh well guess I'll cancel my subscription
I once opened for The Village People.
In which I remember to turn my mic on at the beginning of the stream, a which is key for becoming a world-famous video game streamer. www.twitch.tv/blunderchief
The shock at the Mexican blend that’s obviously just like… chili powder and paprika and salt etc
I will admit I have never seen/heard of zaatar though.
You know, I went to a show Thursday night, saw two weird, fun bands in a tiny venue. It wasn’t packed, it wasn’t empty. The vibe was good. For all the talk about AI slop and such, tech blows at replicating that experience.
I think some folks forget there is good meat space out there.
I don't know exactly when I crossed the line into having a hangover even if I only had three beers over several hours and never felt drunk territory but it really feels unfair.
Even until like 2013/14 it felt that way, despite everything that had been going on. But then again I was in a cool band and had just met my wife, I was not paying that much attention to The Way Things Were Getting
Day one of this shitfuck of a war. Day fucking one.
The first bit of news I saw this morning was better than the second bit of news I saw. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...
I think about this a lot. 2020 was absolutely a dividing before/after line for me, personally.
If it pleases the court, I'd like to play more Wario Land 4 on the internet. (Live now)
Some of the tricks yall did with scrolling to make it linger at moments weee really great. I still haven’t finished this but what I’ve gotten through is utterly delightful.
Like we don’t know that already, also. Like my man I have been skipping beef for years, that’s not the problem.
Had some spare time today, so I'm streaming a bit. Come watch as I dive back into Wario Land 4? www.twitch.tv/blunderchief
Ah yes, Terry Blacks. Overpriced to all get out and fired a trans pitmaster over his politics and gender. www.chron.com/culture/arti...
Also terry black’s is uniquely mediocre as fuck bbq and extremely not worth paying for. I’d rather go to Bill Miller’s and get a sack of chopped bbq sandwiches. At least that place is honest about what it is.
Anyway I’m really fucking sad about what this means for Star Trek.
Imagine trying to get people interested in the goings-on of a DFW suburb after the year 1995
Little late to be saying it now, but no stream tonight, and I’m going on hiatus from scheduled streams for now, while I figure out a schedule that works better for me.
Kevin Nguyen @knguyen ... Tried to add "12 Years a Slave" to Google Calendar and it created a 12-year-long event called "a Slave" • a Slave Tue, February 25, 8pm - Wed, February 25, 2026, 8pm Delete Edit event » 5:27 PM • Feb 23, 2014
It’s finally over
😩
Child refusing to get out of bed? Try playing some Bananzas at them.
My all-of-the-Wario-Lands playthrough continues with Wario Land 4 now! I mean, soon. Right now I'm just playing music from a friend's old music duo while I prepare something to drink. www.twitch.tv/blunderchief
Endlessly grateful for the presentation you gave on how to cover AI when I had first joined the verge.
The big one that continues to drive me bonkers is articles quoting AI like they would a tech executive or even a man on the street.
Screenshotted text: “…people actually do this. It's hard to get an accurate sense of how many people actually hit themselves in the face with a hammer, but it's not zero. There are YouTube…”
This is quite a sentence.
Requiem for a Dream. Granted, I was like 20 at the time and have seen many more horrors than it now, but also, I have no interest in finding out how I feel about it now.
Damn, I could really go for one of those right now.
