I gave up on Bill Maher when he chose the death of Stan Lee to make a point about how comic book nerds all need to grow up. It was cruel. It was callous. It showed a complete lack of basic human empathy. And it was ignorant. In other words, it was MAGA dressed as intellectualism. Thats Bill Maher.

Since the day he was born, we haven’t spent more than a few hours apart. In over 20 months, we’ve never spent a night apart. I’m off on a short trip to spring training and won’t see him for a few days. Life with a toddler can be exhausting. I NEED this break. And I miss him already.

Ok I broke this rule to see what they are saying about James Talarico. A lot more talk about God’s genitalia than I was expecting.

I have never once in the history of Final Fantasy cared or even thought about difficulty or challenge. So I’m always a little thrown when someone makes it the crux of their review.

🚨NEW FREE POD🚨 🎶We listen to relaxing/study/sleepy-time/chill vibes music from #FinalFantasy (& #ChronoCross) 🎤Alongside several bonus pieces we focus on Fisherman's Horizon of #FFVIII, Daguerreo of #FFIX, & Behind Closed Doors of #FFXIV + 6 MORE! 😍How many of these are on your relaxing playlist?

#FinalFantasy IX INTRO We begin #FFIX with a conversation about its legacy, reception, how/why it feels like such a throwback Plus, the importance of the animal characters & examination of the main themes through each main character That gives us just enough time to break down the iconic intro:

I was maybe 5 or 6 the first time I played Castlevania 3. Loved it but it was really hard. Never could get to Dracula let alone beat him. One day freshmen year of college I made a vow to beat it. Spent that WHOLE day on Castlevania 3 until I finally defeated him. Twas a glorious day.

Sauron has announced that Saruman will be moved to the newly created Committee for Everlasting Peace on Middle Earth. The Witch King will be taking over Saruman’s duties as head of the Department of Orcs. Both have been thanked for their service.

The Todd Father (Todd Helton) and his impeccable knack for getting on base via the walk, a fantastic feat in #ColoradoRockies that will likely never be matched:

Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro, An Introduction We begin with Hayao Miyazaki's directorial debut in Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro. We break down the "gentleman thief" trope, invite family to ask a few big questions, then have just enough time to watch the beautiful intro: #studioghibli

I wish TV shows had audio options like video games. Let me turn down the music and sound effects and turn up the dialogue. My toddler is trying to sleep through the joust.

Studio Ghibli & The Genius of Hayao Miyazaki Welcome to #StudioGhibli Weekly, a podcast celebrating the genius and legacy of Hayao Miyazaki and similar film makers. What makes these movies some of the greatest of all time? What makes them like #FinalFantasy? Let's start at the very beginning:

Blue Prince is Final Fantasy... and Myst Not normally a fan of puzzle game or roguelikes, I fell in love with a puzzle/roguelike. I tell my brother why Blue Prince grabbed me, some of my frustrations with it, and why I think it's the perfect game for couples to play together.

“It’s an RPG for people who don’t like RPGs!” Cool. Hit me back when you’ve got an RPG for people who DO like RPGs.

Final Fantasy IX: A Dagger By Any Other Name On this episode, we leave Tantalus... and Blank... in the Evil Forest, Zidane & Steiner act like fighting parents over Vivi, and Princess Garnet takes a step of agency in renaming herself Dagger #finalfantasy #ffix #ff9 #finalfantasyix

I'm putting together a Starter Pack for Progressive Sports Media, especially in Colorado. It can be frustrating trying to follow your favorite sports team only to learn that the reporters and/or companies you've been supporting are voting against your rights. Tag yourself or anyone who fits below!

It may be just one of those wording things rather than a specific intent with phrasing, but yeah, a neat little nugget in the story of Samus. Here's a link to one of the articles I've been digging into.

Who is your favorite Final Fantasy NPC?
