Also, holy crap my feeds have been full of major spoilers from the second I got home. If you don’t want anything spoiled, tread carefully and go see it asap.
John Wahl@midlifesidequest.bsky.social · 4d agoBrand New Day was fantastic. It was such a fun comic book-y movie, and it had tons of heart. Love the relationship between Peter and Frank!

One of the annoying things about my recent health issues is that I’ve become a complete hypochondriac. This morning I found a little bump on my neck and I’m already shopping for caskets.

It’s funny, I was just thinking the other day that I really love my og N64 but I wish it committed more war crimes. www.pcmag.com/news/i-dig-t...
I Dig the ModRetro 64's Nostalgic Fun, Even If It's a Few Updates Short of Greatness
Arriving on July 28 with a throwback aesthetic, the ModRetro 64 plays classic N64 games in 4K. I fired up a pre-production model to relive childhood favorites—did it give me the warm fuzzies?

I expect to have 6 pack abs by this time next year. I think we both might be disappointed.

I’ve really loved doing a Halloween episode of the podcast each year. In 2024 I went to the St. James Hotel, and last year I stayed at the world famous Stanley Hotel where I had a super freaky experience. I’m starting to think about this year’s show. Any suggestions for places to visit or stay? 👻
I got to play Silent Hill earlier this month and I’m REALLY excited for where this iconic franchise is headed. I Played Silent Hill: Townfall For 3 Hours — Here's My HONEST Reaction youtu.be/-lTniywr8SE

There is no low that the Republicans party will not stoop to. These comments and attacks are a slap in the face to every doctor, nurse, hospital worker & first responder who sacrificed and suffered during Covid. Not to mention the families of those who died. It’s disgusting and vile.

Pepper spray drones, bullet proof backpacks, active shooter drills, ANYTHING but common sense gun laws.

I think Mat hits the nail on the head. I spent years yelling about how amazing Game Pass is because my gaming habits are similar to tv/movies. I like to experience LOTS of different and unique stories. But I’m the minority. The majority just wanna play Madden, Fortnight, and COD. It is what it is.
Mat Piscatella@matpiscatella.bsky.social · last wk."transforming Game Pass into a bustling indie library could work to both rapidly shrink the costs of running the service, as well as retain more subscribers" IMO the primary reason Game Pass failed to hit its subscriber targets is because the mass market simply does not care to play lots of games.
