Ew.

Oh man I totally forgot about that show - I used to absolutely love it when I was a kid. Haven't thought about it in at least 30 years. Now I really want to go back and check it out.

Thanks for the answer!

Without expressing an opinion about redistricting in general, is it a big deal of people are moved to a new district? Unless you're one of the tiny number of people who have a personal relationship with your Rep, who cares?

So sorry to hear that Larry! Wishing you the best.

That is some deep irony.

This level is one of my favorite things in all of video games. Landing the jumps and hits in time with the music is so incredibly satisfying. I go back and play this level every couple of months. It's especially memorable because it's the first video game I played with my daughter.

Stacking was seriously one of my favorite XBLA games. An absolute treasure. And I really loved Headlander, too. I completed both games multiple times. Ergo, I was quite excited to see in this article that the Creative Lead on those games, @leepetty.bsky.social is Creative Lead on Keeper!!!

TIL that on Bluesky people who are, I guess, rude can be auto-flagged as rude and their posts are automatically hidden, even if you follow them. Fine, I guess? But I knew they were rude when I followed them, and I can always unfollow if they're too rude.

I'm really looking forward to this one. Such a fun, crazy premise. Love the trailers.

Wow! Congrats! So excited to play it!

I'm not normally an extraction shooter type of person but I am really excited to try out Helldivers II.

I’m in Cologne. Not wearing cologne, though. Yes, I’m the stinky guy in an Xbox shirt.

Good analysis. I watched it again recently and was struck by how a movie ostensibly developed by Kubrick and directed by Spielberg could be so incredibly, wildly all over the place and unfocused. The central conceit - that he can't be "reset" is ridiculous, and the ending is so sappy.

Wow. I loved Talk to Me. Felt like one of the freshest horror movies I’ve seen in a while.

I asked Grok the same thing. It said it couldn’t do pictures but game me a list.

Sigh - sure would be nice if they'd expand to Bellevue south of the 520. Kind of wild that my dad, who lives in a small town in Kansas, got fiber 10 years ago, and it doesn't seem like those of us living in one of the "techiest" places on the planet will ever get it.

I had to look up MAMIL. The definition did not disappoint.

I was there from Thursday through Monday staying at LA Live and going to SGF in the fashion district. I saw absolutely no sign of any rioting or even protesting the whole time. (I did get mugged though.)

Great IGN panel with @iocat.bsky.social and @z.serenityforge.com !

I’m in LA for SGF Play Days and IGN Live. Hit me up if you’re here and want to meet up!

Was just unpacking an old box and found my crew jacket from The Game movie, which I hadn’t seen in years. Fincher was opposed to gregarious branding so the only thing tying it to the film was a little logo on the front waist.

Yes, I went into it relatively cold. I remember first encountering the broken panel leading to the first secret room thinking "OMG this is not what I thought at all." That, leading to "The cake is a like" - total mind blowing moments.

It’s wild that in a single WEEK we’re getting Blue Prince, The Oblivion Remaster, and Claire Obscur Expedition 33 on Game Pass.

And all three are playable on Consoles, PC, and/or cloud streaming with cross-progression across all of them.

As a tech guy and old school gamer, it’s nuts. #Xbox

Heading to Gamescom LATAM in Brazil next week. Let me know if you're going and would like to meet!

Whoa, you thought Ambulance was one of the best action flicks of the decade? Oh wow. I mean, to each their own and all but I cannot go with you there. I thought it was a complete and absolute disaster of a film and a mess from start to finish.

Not excusing the surprisingly high percentage who did but I think 60% is overstating it. The popular vote was around 49% and I don’t remember seeing any credible polling that high.
