I watched this a few weeks ago, and while I didn't even especially like it, there's a line where a young criminal guy basically says the Mark Wahlberg "it wouldn't have gone down like that if I was there" 9/11 thing, but about the crucifixion of Jesus. I've been unable to stop thinking about it.

If a movie is a shark movie, it should be direct about that in the synopsis. No "something deadly is in the water." I'm going to watch it either way, just don't have me thinking there's something cooler than a shark in there.

Momo walks around the world. Frontiers cannot bar her.

K-pop star Momo is under fire after breaking open a vintage graded Pokémon card to stick it on her face and keep it in her phone case

I opened a Threads account to take advantage of the extra channels on Buffer. This is the first thing I see. Not sure if this is gonna work out.

Saying "Google it" will not be the thing that gives me away. They'll have already seen me hunched over on the sidewalk outside a Millennial brewery, expired collagen dripping from my face like fat running off a steak, screaming the questions of half-remembered Buzzfeed quizzes at passing youths.

I'm actually fine with sounding old.

I turned on a movie called "Git Along Little Dogies," thought briefly about how there was a time in my life where I wouldn't even have thought of Git (the version control system), and felt a genuine sense of loss.

I just added an RSS feed to my blog (for game updates and just random writing). Any ideas what to do with this thing? www.smallgraygames.com/feed.xml

Typical of Rolling Stone to ignore the actual song of the summer, which is the Korean trot throwback "Mi-cheo Mi-cheo" by Dino of hit kpop group Seventeen (in character as his variety show persona Picheolin). www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh_D...

Listen, I realize I’m in my 40s, but I’m an old who actively keeps up, and until like 2 days ago I hadn’t heard of an ounce of this shit

Important update on my journey through 1930s cowboy movies: Roy Rogers sucks and Gene Autry is the superior singing cowboy, despite the fact that he can't act and also sucks.

I saw a post the other day suggesting people use free tier Buffer to schedule posts, which I think might help my inability to stay on topic. That said, it publishes to three networks, and I basically only use this one. Of these, any thoughts on which (if any) would be worthwhile?

South of the March demo v0.1.4 is out! This one's got a ton of new features, most notably a complete overhaul of the self-voicing system. Check out the blog for an overview of the big stuff and full patch notes for everything else. www.smallgraygames.com/blog/7-25-26

One of my most-watched actors of 2026 is a horse.

I find it genuinely shocking that not one person even tried to make a modern-setting Lysistrata in the mid-2010s.

Now that The Odyssey is a hit, they have a chance to really monetize and create a Greekiverse. I need teens having opinions on the murder of Clytemnestra In the next five years

I've been watching wholesome Gene Autry cowboy movies from the 30s/40s. One thing I like about them is when the posters make him look like he's the king of hell for some reason.

You always hear cowboys singing about the lonesome trail, yet they seem to be socializing at the old saloon all the time.

I think there should be an automated system in Hollywood where if "social media" appears in a script in any capacity, it's instantly shoveled into an incinerator along with all attached producers.

This was a deeply stupid movie.

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

Senate GOP leaders say they’ve spoken with Mitch McConnell

When a candidate seems bad, it's important to overlook it because there's an election coming up and there's no time to replace them. Even if that last part isn't true at all, you can just wait long enough, and then it will be.

Untrue. All video games are about holding a sword, and the only genre distinction is whether or not the thing holding the sword is a mech and/or robot.

Alex Blechman@alexblechman.bsky.social · last mo.

The two genres of video game are shooting an alien with a gun, and a pretty lady elf saying “m’lord” to you There’s a theoretical third genre where the player has to collect an orb, but nobody has been able to make it yet

I want at least one person to be realistic and say "every single one of my past lives was as a newborn that died from some pre-modern newborn problem."

Millie Bobby Brown thinks that she was a closeted gay soldier who was slain with a sword to the spine in a past life.

Every movie should start with an arbitrary medium-loud sound so that you don't discover a few minutes into a tension-building action intro that your volume is set to 1000db.

Entry number one trillion in the "why are we funneling the entire economy into AI" question: today I tried to google famed Korean folk singer Im Jiehoon.

I've been doing a major overhaul of the self-voicing system in South of the March for a few days now. It's almost done. It's making me kind of delirious.

Do you think he's loathsome *because* he's a dung eater, or would he be a loathsome guy even without that?

Before the next big sale comes around, let's look at a few more Steam Next Fest games: Meaningless Random Numbers, South of the March, and Rizz Dungeon: Skeleton Key to My Heart! indiehellzone.com/2026/06/25/s...

THE PATH LEADS ONLY ONE WAY. DOWN.

Scott Adkins rules because I've seen him in 15 movies, many times as the lead, and always liked him, but also if he knocked on my door I wouldn't recognize him.

Thanks to everybody for checking out South of the March in Steam Next Fest! The demo is not time-locked, so it's still up and it'll keep getting updates probably right up until the full version release. I'll likely write about this at length in a little while, but this has been a great experience!
