I highly appreciate that every time I've accidentally left a personal item on the commuter shuttles over the last five years—so about six times, ha—I've always gotten it back through lost and found.

This is already how games work if you are over 35

Logged into FFXIV to get one last look at my cool beachside house in Shirogane—expecting to cancel my sub because I haven’t played in ages—and there were actually the three people RPing (innocently :p) in there! Awwww! Made my day. Maybe I’ll let it live … I like seeing people enjoy things I made.

Did that many times as an MMO reviewer.

It was indeed hell.

Anything interesting I have to say—probably wisest to keep it to myself. :p

Meanwhile, I can’t seem to make a dent for sh*t. lol Probably for the best.

Bought Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and went in totally blind. No reviews, no product page descriptions, no tweets, nothing.

One hour later: I think I’m in love.

The bowling ball is the one used in the final shot of the film.

Spent the evening watching The Big Lebowski with Jeff Bridges in attendance. Talk about a memorable 4/20.

I have to admit my initial thought was “Is that all?”

My superpower is fogging up the windows of every Uber I get into.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

Wow, Blue Prince really opens up once you get the railgun

There are way too many fucking people. So many major problems have this at or near the root. Pollution, dwindling resources, climate change, etc. etc.

So dumb. It’s fine if people aren’t having as many kids.

Man, this reminds me—I just got back from a bleak “kinda sorta still winter” rainy weekend in New York and Philadelphia and I am SO happy to be back in California. The contrast is STARK.

I have had my moments when I have considered “finding my faith” again.

I really don’t get it. I have a low opinion of many people in this country but I thought we still had more spine and principle than to put up with this.

It’s all just so stupid. I can’t even be awed by the intellect behind this or something. Just so, so STUPID.

Knowing it was all done in one take, the final shot of episode 2 of Adolescence is one of the most phenomenal feats of cinematography I’ve ever seen in my life. Wow.

So cool.

I’m at Princeton University and this meme was just recommended in one of my feeds. Think the algo is basing it on location … lol

I’m at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study visiting an old friend from academia, and seconds after we walked behind the main building, I went “Is that … is that the ‘Oppenheimer’ pond?! IT IS!!!!” Ha, I recognized it immediately.

Was in the neighborhood and figured I’d drop by. Seemed like an appropriate place to visit for the times.
