Had the luxury of playing Nicky and one of the Bad Idea Bears in a community theatre production back in 2016. God I wish I could do this show again someday.

Start going to thrift stores and pick up as much physical media as you can. You do not own digital copies of media. They can alter or remove them at any time.

Democrats should run on breaking this up. I don’t even care if they can’t do it right now. Make a stand against state-run media.

Today is a good day to tell your trans friends you love and support them, and if possible to materially support them as well. Give trans folks your money, your time, your employment opportunities. Allow them to live peacefully and unbothered. And yell at your congress critters to protect them.

Between Sony shutting down Bluepoint Games and Microsoft replacing Phil Spencer with an AI division executive as CEO of their gaming division, its been a pretty bad week for video games.

β€œHey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling β€˜Flamingo’ on Google?”

β€œDon’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

If you live in the northeastern US like me, stay warm and stay safe. It's pure white out there.

Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone.

Trans rights are human rights.

When we gather together, we can make Magic.

I say this having played the game start-to-finish no less than three times and knowing it's an almost 30 year old major plot point:

I'm just fatigued by the constant enshittification of online resources and communication tools.

Even if it doesn't affect me in a direct or practical sense, its exhausting to watch occur and I cannot envision any good coming from its implementation.

I have made the unfortunate discovery that my island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons did not make the transfer over from my dying console and is likely lost forever.

620+ hours, just gone.

It is a sad day, and we mourn.

So I finally finished Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club with my wife tonight and my jaw is on the floor.

@jon.gvg.io bless you and keep you for convincing me to take a chance on this one. It was a truly unforgettable experience.

I would say 4 or 5? I primarily play Commander, dabbled a little in past Standards (around Zendikar-Scars of Mirrodin, and again in Amonkhet-Ixalan-Dominaria), and try to play Limited or Pauper whenever the opportunity arises.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It's neat that the third party support keeps rolling in, but that Nintendo Direct was very... meh?

I'm still not seeing that many reasons to upgrade to Switch 2 at the moment, unless you want to play Mario Kart/DK Bananza, or you want to play PokΓ©mon Z-A/Metroid Prime 4 with stable framerates.

My hot take:
Stop getting upset about a format that is meant to be broken. Instead of calling for format leaders to constantly curate things for your benefit, focus on curating your own social environment/expectations.
Sheldon would say, "Not playing a game is better than playing a bad game."
