don’t doomscroll. read a chapter instead.

it’s sorta beautiful that a skunk hit by a car will empty the clip and stink up the whole vicinity. A warrior’s death

(This might be a long, pointless rant about map and visual design. If you actually know stuff in this area, I'm extremely sorry for my ignorance in advance) I've been playing far more Valorant than someone with my late-30s PvP sensibilities should. But my kid loves it and it reminds me of Halo CE.

Unrealistic side hustle #1: The King's Wit from Way of Kings, but instead you're paid to sit in Starbucks and make fun of people's orders.

I made the mistake of playing the demo of Final Fantasy VII Remake, and now Final Fantasy XVI's battle system feels suuuuper boring. That's a problem when I'm 40+ hours into FFXVI.

@tiwyfb.bsky.social Hiya! I've got a buddy who watched the Dodgers vs Cardinals on July 4th, 1985, and Ozzie Smith made a great catch in the 8th inning. The closest footage I can find to the date is your 7-6-1985 game. Would you happen to have that game in your stash? Either way, thank you for you!

After watching the ALCS last night, I was inspired to write a poem about the Mariners fandom. Growing up as a Red Sox fan in the early 90s, I genuinely thought I knew I knew misery. As it turns out, I know nothing of pain. Nothing at all.

I think if I had a PC that could run Red Dead Redemption 2 in its truest and best form, I might not play anything else for a few years. The Xbox version is awesome, but if I had mods...well, it's probably best for the people in my life who prefer me to sleep and bathe regularly.

Pleased to announce the audiobook for Tangleweed & Waterbloom is now available! @aaronwaite.net has done a fantastic job. Join in the adventure with Derry, Barrow, and Caedan in this brand-new format!

When you omit "A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol," you completely alter what Scully was describing as "marvelous." Scully was NOT just broadly marveling. He was marveling at a very specific, very important thing.

You know who carved order out of chaos? Whoever programmed your email to see the word "attached" and check for attachments. Wherever you are, know that you are internet royalty.

While the interminable wait for Esoteric Ebb marches on, here's a description of a bucket to tide you over. Also, it's very late and I should not be allowed to edit audio or video at this hour. Or use a microphone. Or Mountain Dew past 5 PM. chrisbodegard.bsky.social

Space Ghost Attempts to Cover Daft Punk

Everyone crabs about pineapple on pizza when the real travesty is coconut on donuts.

Me: "Alrighty, time to finish up this commercial voice over." Me, almost two hours after finishing up the commercial, uploading a Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast pastiche to my Voices.com profile: "I'm not sure how I got here, but I think I'm okay with it."

I gotta ask, when did Hugo Weaving start looking like David Harbour?

The Doom: Dark Ages OST is like the half-brother of Aslan: good but incredibly safe. [Narnia/boomer shooter Venn diagram joke goes here]

Also, if you haven't played the demo for Esoteric Ebb and you're a fan of Disco Elysium, for the love of Kim Kitsuragi, go play it. It's amazing and at the tippy-top of my small stack of anticipated games.

Esoteric Ebb Demo on Steam

ESOTERIC EBB is a single-player CRPG inspired by the freedom of tabletop adventures. Unravel a political conspiracy with your goblin sidekick. Roll dice in tense encounters. Become a cleric of legends...

Sorry, coming up for air after being in the isolation tank that is Clair Obscur. I'm having to resist the urge to parry baristas and cashiers.

My newest audiobook narration is a galaxy-spanning sci-fi adventure in the vein of Firefly and The Expanse, but with waaaay more aliens. If you like insane robots, beauty-obsessed aliens, and improvised escapes, y'all should pick this one up! #audiobook #scifi #audible

I've been loving Avowed, just a well-made, well-scoped game with interesting worldbuilding that reminds me of Morrowind in all the best ways. However, I did want to report a bug: when I approach a boar in the wild, the Pet action doesn't seem to pop up. Same thing with the tiny cat thingies.

I'm at the point where I'm super excited about fantasy baseball and I wanna join like, 15 leagues. At times like this, I try to think about August Aaron and how many leagues he'd like to juggle. ...usually it's more. August Aaron is a tryhard with a low attention span.

I try to give people grace, to understand they're coming from different places than me and I don't know what's brought them to this point in life. But if you refer to controllers as "paddles" or "remotes", try not to take it personally when I plug my nose so I don't breath the same air as you.

Life tip: don't buy hoodies from bands in warm locales. For instance: My August Burns Red (Pennsylvania) hoodie - thick, cozy, weather-antagonistic My Demon Hunter hoodie (California) - "I'm sorry, you wanted to keep the weather OUT? Best I can do is make you look cool as you freeze."
