*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Many states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.

I loved the Spider-man games by Insomniac. The care to the history was there in story and design. Wolverine did not have the same care. Character designs were off as was the story. Jean was treated, writing-wise, as set dressing and The Big Bad... oof. The mystery villain reveal was also off.

Digital Licenses are not the way of the future. It is a concept designed to offer it for a time at one location, strip that expensive rental away, and then offer it again elsewhere at the same or higher price. Having it on the shelf (Books, Films, CDs, Games) means you have complete access. #Owned

Remake haters are really GTA6 die hards trying to pick apart Nintendo for drawing a line and daring Sony/Microsoft to walk back over to the light. Sorry, that mic drop was heard. And since OoT is my fave Zelda game I will say I LOVED what was presented by #Nintendo.

Beginning Sunday the 23rd I will be boycotting Sony (for their end of physical media stance), Microsoft (For laying off thousands of video game industry personnel) and Warner Brothers (for revoking digital purchase licenses.) None of these things are "minor" flaws.

I see some of the points in The Ribbon Hero reviews, but I overly enjoyed the film. Yes, it could have been better served to be broken up into three films rather compacted into a single rushed narrative, but it was handled well for what it became.

So, all those licensed films and shows we've lost on digital have one source, WB. Interesting. I think this is a less of a Google/Sony problem now and more of a company that wants some way to keep your eyes on them if a merger goes through.

I give advice to new moderators all the time. Key one is something I should have learned in real life, "Don't feed the trolls." I was used, gaslit, and discarded when I caught on. I fed the trolls, let them take credit for my work, and almost broke. Today though, I give them no fuel.
