I caught my 1st shiny in Pokemon Violet. A little Hippopotas. My children do not appreciate the significance of this ever so slightly different coloring.

I'm off work this week for the holidays. So, you know...I sat on the toilet long enough that my right leg fell asleep.
I swear that me putting my phone down is triggering YouTube ad breaks.
Returning to Pokemon cards 25 years later, I am in love with Kagemaru Himeno WOTC era artwork.

Growing up before the Internet... I owned 2 baseball blooper VHS tapes that I watched so much that I can still quote them to this day. Also, I hate baseball.
NEW VIDEO So, the US government's editorial comms strategy is using things we care about, like Pokémon and popstars, to ragebait us into spreading mass deportation propaganda. Cool. In my new video I explain how US copyright law kind of allows ICE to just do this www.youtube.com/watch?v=y81j...

I've never in my life purchased a Repel, over decades and hundreds of hours of playing Pokemon. A guy's gotta save if he hopes to retire some day.

I improvised another crochet critter. My wife made me promise to destroy it before going to bed. My 5-year-old named it Razor Mouth.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., which means that today I have published my annual "this one's an all-timer" Thanksgiving Eve video retrospective. This time it's Disney's DuckTales for NES: youtu.be/nhS7pn7oXsw

Be kind to people. It’ll always fucking matter. 💯
It's hard to shop for Pokemon cards at all anymore without feeling like a creep. I'm only here to pick up a few Christmas presents, everybody! I swear.

Yes, I saw the news. I chose to ignore them. I played GBA games instead and recommend you do so, too.
I'm really starting to hate everyone having to use the name "Switch 1".
I'm running a half marathon today, and it's entirely possible that I will finish with a time that's double my PR. So take this as your reminder that everyone's invited!
