I write, I like video editing, I'm a train nerd, and unapologetically trans + queer. Will likely rant about a movie or Discworld at some point. Ride or die physical media defender. 35 (they/them).
That said, if you would like to make gas/groceries a bit easier in the coming week while my partner waits for their new job to kick in: I have some PS4 controllers I just finished refurbishing on eBay :3 www.ebay.com/usr/rivercit... Or you could chip in at $someoneonline on CashApp.

Gavin G Whiz@loveatra.in · yesterdayI was literally typing up a post here asking for donations/microloans to make rent and then someone at my bank reversed a shitty charging decision that was tying up just enough money to put us in a bind. There are nice people left in the world 🥲

I talk a big game about doing video game repair because I want to help keep consoles out of landfills and allow future generations to enjoy gaming, but it still hits extra hard when I fix someone's PS3 and they end the transaction with a comment like "my kids are gonna love this."

You're telling me Ken "co-hosts a podcast with Bean Dad" Jennings is a dick? The guy who has been a dick multiple times both on here and Twitter before? That guy turned out to be the kind of soft-skinned coward that gets a trans woman banned? My lack of surprise does not make the news any better.
A vampire movie but it's all the Ozempic marketers currently staked outside of Paul Walter Hauser's propertly line, pacing back and forth muttering things like "I got Jonah Hill, I can break him too."
Excellent solder job, Sony, you've done it again. There is no war in Ba Sing Sae, and the PS5 has acceptable HDMI ports.

Dr. Damien P. Williams has to go the way his blood beats@wolven.blacksky.app · 2mo ago…Are you kidding me? This country's treatment of voice actors is fucking abysmal. Aqua Teen Hunger Force essentially built Adult Swim, & if there were any justice, Carey Means shouldn't have to work another day in his life. Between this & Andy Merrill's trouble, i just… what the fuck. What the fuck.
As someone about to start the DC Absolute arcs because I'm hearing good things: what are some of the banger comic runs of the 2020s I should read? Bonus points for off-the-beaten-path characters/indie publications.
Hank Green succumbing to AI psychosis makes perfect sense, because he basically told us. The reason his TikTok is successful, and he openly has said this, is he hired a Gen Z TikTok nerd to tell him what to do and act as a filter for all his ideas. He was already using people like you use Claude.
This 1955 #NYTMCollection photograph shows Manhattan’s Third Avenue at 41 Street. The camera’s angle allows for both a view of the street level and the Third Avenue Elevated line above, including a train heading downtown. The El’s 42 Street station is also visible in the background.
I managed to cut my big toe open on a PS4. I'm in the urgent care thanks to ADHD and Sony's middest console.
The feast-or-famine of refurbishing gaming equipment to pay rent means you can experience "it's over" and "we're so fucking back" multiple times in the same day.
I just laughed so hard my partner asked what's funny and I don't know how to explain "if you can hit it without killing it you can make it more afraid" is funny without seeming unwell.

A warm lemon poppyseed muffin with a glass of almond milk would fuck so hard right now.
If I had a workshop with a good workbench and tools set up neatly, it would fix me. And by that I mean you would never see me again 'cus I would disappear into the workshop any time obligations did not pull me from it.
Alright fess up, who else thought panel three was the reveal that Crystal's "wanted to-" ended with having Noel sex-roleplay as a deadbeat partner.

If Noel can turn this around there might just be hope for us all.

This has been stuck in my head since the second he dropped those spears through that damn hole.
I see it's "forget how jokes work so I can hell at Haus of Decline" day, yet again.

I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

As they say at the awards shows, I was humbled to learn that Christopher Nolan has read at least the first line of my...

On the one hand: Wikipedia is a good thing to have. On the other: its rules are so restrictive the page for Starlight Vocal Band's single Afternoon Delight never actually explains the innuendo of "afternoon delight" meaning fucking in the afternoon. In fact, it tries to downplay the innuendo.
Filming The Odyssey in IMAX was detrimental to the movie and almost feels like an excuse for Nolan to play it too safe. So many scnees are staged like twenty minute IMAX shorts because, with the giant-ass camera, you have to Wes Anderson-ify shot/reverse shot conversations.
The Odyssey was fun but also the Cyclops felt like the Smiling Friends episode where Mr. Frog's dad yells at him.
Someone is inflating the ticket sales of Pinocchio: Unstrung. My 10pm screening in a town of 100k people had the back two rows entirely sold out. Seven other people actually bought tickets, seven showed up. Those back two rows were empty.
