If you haven't watched Widow's Bay, there is still time to correct this horrendous personality defect.
Ugh. Silo season 3 is off to a terrible start. You don't get to start this badly unless you drop a whole season at once. Will I have the will to come back weekly until in two months it pays off? No.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was good. And it just goes to show that if you want to do something good in an established world, you have to do it in the window of time before (or after) some ham-fisted moron screwed up the universe. Or else you have to jump WAAAY back of forward.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.
The Comedy Mothership's vibe is sooooo fucked. Having 10 muscle douches wanding me and patting me down before I can go listen to jokes? $12 for a beer? I've been to The Creek and The Cave numerous times and it's sooo much better. This place fucking sucks.
I'm well on my way to being a solitary weirdo now. There was a mosquito in the bathroom with me, so I shut the door and yelled, "You think I'm locked in here with you? YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!"
Backrooms was like if House of Leaves were less scary because we spent a ton of time just sort of looking at the monster and explaining it rather than spending the time in the weird space.
So, I got tenure. I'm a tenured professor. I also got a summer research grant and I have a sabbatical coming up!
To the gods of Vlambeer, I just want to let you know that your update to make Nuclear Throne playable on Mac again was not in vain. I have been playing it for the past few days once again.

Here's an obscure(ish) Final Fantasy 6 Meme that made me laugh:
Okta Verify has two modes for me: 1) Put your thumb on this twice! So safe! 2) The company has decided that if your phone ever dies you will defacto be taking the rest of the day off
It has been a wild ride for the last six months or so. Holy shit. I only roll 1s or 20s.
Going through a divorce and so I popped my head into the apps. I have come to several conclusions. Here are my tips:
I went to HONK!TX today. If inly I could go back in time 150 years and plant two live oaks on the slope of that hill…

I finally got around to leaving that 1 Star review of Chef Ryan's in Uvalde, TX. If more people had eaten there, THAT would be the tragedy the place is known for.
My thumb is almost totally healed after the break, but I have a weird hypersensitivity in it now. I can quite clearly feel my fingerprints with it.
I have owned Tak for a while and not played it. I played it last night for the first time and HOLY SHIT it was great. James Ernest has done it again. Wow.
Nobody wants anything to do with your game until it turns out to be cool, and then they won’t leave you alone… I assume
