On the plus side, it would make a lot of the authorial intent questions pretty easy to answer.

I'll also throw out: Watch your filesize. I'm not waiting hours to play a demo. Anything over 10GB I question and anything over 20GB I pass on completely.

ABC’s β€˜The Rookie’ to Crossover With Dropout’s β€˜Game Changer’ in March Episode It's the crossover no one knew they needed: ABC's "The Rookie" will air an episode "prominently" featuring the cast of Dropout's "Game Changer."

Huh. Dropout doing copaganda was not something I expected. Guess they all really do become the villain. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

If they want it historic, we should ban cars from the area and only allow horses and carriages.

Xenoblade fans, it's happening! Nintendo drops a surprise Switch 2 upgrade for Xenoblade Chronicles X with 60fps and more 4K/60fps support in TV mode, and 1080p/60fps when playing in handheld mode, and a $5 upgrade path - ideal, right?

Yo dawg, I heard you liked definitive editions, so we made a definitive edition of the definitive edition www.eurogamer.net/xenoblade-fa...

Nice. Hoping for some crash fixes soon - I haven't been able to complete a single mission without a crash to desktop.

I like it so far, but I can't get through the first mission without it crashing πŸ₯²

Table of Contents, February 2026 A new crop of short stories to check out this month

Not a mag, but a newsletter. @andrewliptak.com does monthly roundups of book releases and magazine short fiction via the Transfer Orbit newsletter that I find extremely useful.

Now as many weddings as touchdowns.

Three quarters of football and the game has more weddings than touchdowns.

Yes. Cooling is extremely difficult in space. There is no matter to dissipate the heat to. Heat management is one of the biggest challenges in space travel and the stuff we have up there now isn't GPUs

Excellent! I missed the first printing, and not having the complete set was putting me off from getting this set.

That's why we throw the bones and read their portents.

The 2 Line full cross-lake opening is March 28. Boardmember Balducci just pulled back the curtain.

The whole Dante's Inferno campaign was unhinged, and I'm not sure which specific part of it to pick, but probably the fake religious protests at E3.

Yeah, I'm never giving my email or phone to a politician. I've seen how badly they spam them for donations, and sell them to other politicians.

Requiring each person to sign up for spam in addition to news is very different from them actively reaching out to everybody.

Jayapal is my rep. I've never received anything from her besides campaign mailers.

I've never received any communication from my Congressional reps that isn't an election mailer or a donation request.

Meanwhile my state reps send a quarterly status update to every mailbox in their district.

Bills were clearly better, but you can't turn it over that many times and expect to win.
