My wife and I were discussing painful TV show cancellations. I think we agreed these really hurt the most: Raised By Wolves Teenage Bounty Hunters Hannibal My wife also said My So Called Life is the worst cancellation of all.

Apparently, I’m a big fan of LitRPGs now. Azarinth Healer has been a blast to plow through. Book 5 is my first finished book of the year. So… what next? #litrpg I am sadly unable to breeze through Dungeon Crawler Carl because my daughter is listening to the audiobook with me.

This is the moon tonight by me. Very cool halos around it.

Most I’ve ever read in my life. Some amazing books out there - thank you to authors for doing what you do! Big shout out Asunder by @kerstinhall.bsky.social for being my favorite of the year.

I am glad Welcome to Derry exists, but they need significantly better writing. The whole show is just so frustrating and they could be doing so much more with it.

Makes me sad how disappointed I am in Marvel Cosmic Invasion. I was so excited, but when you compare it to something deep like Absolum, it’s such a let down.

@washingtonpost.com Thank you for arbitrarily destroying my Keyword scores just because I hadn’t logged into a profile for 2 years.

Poor Oswald had to get a mass removed above is eye… he’s very unhappy.

Absolum freakin’ rules. Cider is easily my favorite.

Do people actually like Liquid Glass on iOS?

Chester being a goofball - gotta love the teeth! #cats

I get people love Metal Gear, but some of this dialog… what the hell?

I’m shocked that we are in a period where we have Aliens AND Predator franchises moving in positive directions again. My excitement for Alien Earth is unreasonably high.

Lego Soundwave with mini Ravage and Laserbeak is a dream come true! #transformers #lego

Finished the Divine Cities trilogy by @robertjbennett.bsky.social and wow. Every book is fantastic in its own right, and a great ending to the series. Highly recommended.

I love Nine Inch Nails, but I’m very curious if their Tron Ares soundtrack will stand up to Tron Legacy. Daft Punk absolutely crushed it.

For those Murderbot fans out there! reactormag.com/read-a-new-m...

Apparently I completely missed that our beloved Karlach @samanthabeart.bsky.social voiced Thomasina in Hob’s Barrow @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social prior to BG3. No wonder the voice acting was so good in Hob’s!

Someone posted about the existence of D&D stamps the other day and felt it necessary to order them immediately. #d&d

Currently working my way through @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social’s Old Skies. Not surprisingly, great writing and amazing voice acting as always. Also, I am incredibly thankful Nozzo is smarter than me and gives me useful hints.

Finally jumped on “The Tainted Cup” train and loved it. @robertjbennett.bsky.social knows how to create interesting characters and really fascinating worlds. Also, excited that the second book has been out, so I don’t have to wait to start it! Though I assume there will be a book 3?

Oswald in the shade, Chester in the sun.

“The Raven’s Scholar” by Antonia Hodgson - easily one of my favorite books to finish this year. Highly reductive to say it’s a blend of Hunger Games and Potter - it’s so much more and you throw in a murder mystery. Read half, listened to half - audiobook narrator was fantastic. #TheRavenScholar

These little ones have grown quite a bit in the past weeks - they’re still hanging out on our front door. Hopefully they’ll fly free soon!

Apparently the birds don’t care that our door decoration is full of fake flowers. We are avoiding using our front door for a bit!

Murderbot trailer!! Woooo!! #murderbot

Loved Excavation of Hob’s Barrow from @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social Felt like a solid modern indie horror movie with a creeping slow burn that hit all the right notes. Also, shout out to their game Unavowed! These folks know how to make a good point and click with fabulous voice acting.

Khazan is fantastic. Parry system actually seems remarkable fair, weapons are fun, and yeah! Good stuff.

Going down the IMDb rabbit hole on The Pitt made my wife and I remember how sad we were when Sweet/Vicious (with Taylor Dearden), Teenage Bounty Hunters, and Raised By Wolves were each cancelled for no good reason.

Back in 2017, @hunterinkoseh.bsky.social drew a cute picture of my daughter (3 years old) and our cat riding a Barioth. Earlier this week, she drew the crew years later - my daughter older, the Barioth, and our cat Clara who is in Felyne heaven. Thank you for the adorable sequel!

If you haven’t watched “The Pitt”, you should change that. You won’t regret it. #ThePitt

I don’t understand why Esad Ribic’s characters always have the same slack jawed mouth agape look. I can’t unsee it. The recent reboot of Eternals was one of the worst, and I’m really struggling with Aliens vs Avengers… it makes me sad.

I don’t think I’ve tried Insect Glaive since MH4 and I can definitely say I am not great at it in MHWilds. But it’s okay… thanks to my trusty Seikret, I can switch to my lovely Hunting Horn and play some sick tunes any time I feel inadequate! #MonsterHunterWilds

Tried Great Western Trail: NZ last night. Absolutely loved it. Deck and empire building, and sheep! Fair warning - manual is woefully inadequate. Organization of content is confusing. Needs a better quick reference for hundreds of symbols. If you love sheep, could be a game for you! #boardgames

Highly recommend “Asunder” by @kerstinhall.bsky.social Fantastic characters, well done world building, and a riveting story - I really hope there’s a sequel at some point!

So excited for the Murderbot show. Apparently premiering on May 16th! #murderbot

Tonight’s episode of the Pitt. Wow… just crushing.

If you’re playing Avowed, upgrade your gear to the next tier as soon as you can. The game does not mess around - running up to enemies under-tiered makes the game so much harder. Also, don’t forget to salvage all the crap you get for materials!

Dead Cells and Astral Ascent developers should be commended for adding ways to make their games easier/accessible. I’m not the young gamer I used to be, so I appreciate being able to enjoy and progress in these games.

Got a lovely new record player for Valentine’s Day!

Rough day at the vet for Chester…

Doing some cleaning and found this magical bounty! And it still works! Peak #nintendo

Please let the new Captain America movie be good (and do well in the box office)…

A foggy evening under a single light. Fog will forever make me immediately think about Silent Hill.

Oswald vs the evil steam mop

Given all the art flying around, thought I should share a song I started soon after the election - thinking about how the hell I explain the world my daughter. It all started with a piano riff and became this - I hope this resonates with anyone who listens. drive.google.com/file/d/1EFTd...

Finally beat Metaphor! #ReFantazio I always feel like JRPGs overstay their welcome by a good 20-30 hours, and this was no exception. Regardless, I absolutely loved the game and am happy to have seen it to the end. I am very glad the game made it fairly natural to max followers and virtues!

Getting close to the end of Metaphor! I really do wish RPGs would let you actively fight with your whole crew somehow. Always seems weird that you run around with a small battalion in most cases and yet only 3-4 can fight at a time.
