I want it on the record that I didn’t know @josephcox.bsky.social was being excluded and I was surprised when I showed up to the 404 Marathon podcast and he wasn’t there. I asked Emanuel, “hey didn’t Joe and Gault want to do this?” and he just said their takes bored him. youtu.be/K4U4mWObX84?...

Help it’s a rainy day and the girls are watching baseball while I work and I’m in love.

Mortified. Brought home the turntable yesterday, hooked it up, got white noise, like the needle had hit the runout. Check all connections, confirm ballast is correct. Send a note to the shop asking if someone can swing by… This morning I wake up and know beyond doubt, I left the stylus guard down.

Hello, old friend.

Today’s yard report from MK. We have a mushroom that is either a death cap or The Hated Caesar. Our killer mushroom problem is being combated by something apparently called the Dog Vomit Slime Mold. A lot happening in these woods.

Loving going back to the Sky broadcast for F1. Great interviews, detailed film breakdown at the Skypad, and short video features that are like, “Britons do you not remember when life was good? John Bull is crying his tears water Silverstone! Now watch George and Lando serve Crofty fish and chips.”

You know if i caught up on Slow Horses while mainlining First Light and Zero Parades it’d be a real Summer of Spies. But I’d have to play less Marathon. And that’s become a load-bearing part of my social life. Otherwise I’d be at risk of the spy’s true nemesis: loneliness.

We were down several sub-basement levels in a Marathon run, creeping through maintenance tunnels, and @robzacny.bsky.social quips "Now this is living"

most irritating part of "how can you root for the US did you know we are bad" is why the fuck do you think I got here without thinking about all this and coming to my own peace with it why do I have to be in the slow lane with you, ever you missed this meeting I'm not giving you my notes

Heatwave Day 2: Fujitsu Unit Balthazar has failed. Melchior and Caspar are still operational.

In retrospect, after being stuck in traffic for two hours because a shooting suspect got into a standoff with the cops on 495, I should have known it was not going to be a night of blessings if I loaded up Marathon.

Of all the shows that could give us a successor to the parking garage conversation in the last episode of The Americans I did not expect it to be Chad Powers. Perry Mattfeld was good all season, didn’t give a hint of the heat she could bring until the episode arrived that called for all of it.

"average person kills hundreds of UESC per day" factoid actualy [sic] just statistical error. average person kills 0 UESC per day. Marathon Steve, who never completes quests & kills over 10,000 UESC a day, is an outlier adn [sic] should not have been counted

<watching the 2008 Death Race remake> Oh this is absurd. Machine Gun Joe’s truck should be in an entirely different category.

We will not be calling him Big Dog. Not in Rob’s Year of Affirmation.

It's time! @patrickklepek.bsky.social, @robzacny.bsky.social, and @cado.bsky.social have once again descended upon Rob's house—aka The Compound, aka Highground—to play golf, spin wheels, and slowly eat a ton of Costco snacks Twitch: www.twitch.tv/remapradio // YouTube: youtube.com/live/Jna11RE...

Celebrating our anniversary with dinner in the Costco food court.

Today’s moral dilemma: repair shop said the turntable cartridge was fine. Tilly knocked the stylus loose but it was fixable. Did I still want the fancy new Italian or Danish moving magnet cartridges we’d discussed? For a brief moment, I held the possibility of a stealth-upgrade in my hands.

Today’s Marathon encounter. I am in cover on Marsh. I hear a voice, running past on the road. “Hello? I am a Rook. I would like to become Arachne reputation points. I am going clockwise around the map. I have a green Volt and an ammo crate. Please let me be your kill. Death to the robos!”

That was not the most lucrative day of Marathon ever but it was the absolute best. Gonna live forever.

I go back and forth on what is my favorite weather. But I am not sure there is anything as magical as having a gentle, cool rain falling throughout the night and waking up to it still filtering through the leaves and murmuring against the roof, while the dogs cuddle closer in the cool air.

I always love reading @brunodias.bsky.social when he goes sicko mode on a competitive game. Guy turned me around on Age of Empires, and now he’s making a strong case for Pokémon. Though maybe also a strong case for staying away. It sounds like it turns you into James Jesus Angleton.

You ever have something so shameful and embarrassing happen in Marathon you know you’re going to take it to your grave?

David Malukas kinda looks like, and gets results increasingly in line with, if Carmy from The Bear was a race car driver.

Has any product been as successful as Draino at convincing people it is capable of solving a problem despite almost never being the actual solution to said problem?

Welp Tilly freaked out a TV dog after being wound-up by rabbits outside. Scored a direct hit on the tone arm of the turntable hard enough to shove the entire player back like three inches.

has anyone done this one yet

Can’t really figure out if Chad Powers is good or not. But god help me I am gonna watch every episode of a thing with Steve Zahn playing a college football coach.

Closing out the week with Blue Prince as Natalie and Rob pick up from where a Blessed Run left off. www.twitch.tv/remapradio

I kept thinking people were posting old John Candy photos and it turned out to be the reflecting pool guy. “Oh wow I never knew he played a wiseguy. This looks awesome.”

Masterpiece. I’m in awe.

I’m sorry Volvos used to look like this?!

My coworker is making me look bad. Give it a rest, pal.

There is nothing that immediately causes me to jettison all standards of modesty and self-consciousness like having to deep-clean the bathroom with bleach and grout brushes. It's like, "OK, I need booty shorts, my tiniest, most ripped-up tee shirt, and maybe a gas mask."

The fact it’s not a good model of Wrigley is what really bugs me here.

Not quite an emergency HOA situation but learned some surprising things today.

Don’t you just want to bottle this feeling so you can revisit it forever and ever? Well look NO FURTHER www.discogs.com/artist/29378...

I’m sorry did the Knicks start doing the Finding Nemo seagulls bit to introduce their coach?

Trying to think of how many times I’ve seen them NOT call a landing zone foul like that. Unreal.

<getting my Super Deluxe Edition Blu-Ray of All the Roadrunning> Oh hell yeah neat that they’re doing this for more recent releases. <opens jewel case, reads insert> What do you mean this came out in 2006?

The Scots found the Boston cop slide @everyone @edsbs.bsky.social @brianmfloyd.bsky.social @cjzero.bsky.social

I’m sorry if you get killed in an Evil Dead movie because you washed your knives in the dishwasher I have no sympathy for you. You deserved that.

Made it ten minutes before we went to Telemundo. Fox commentary is excruciating, Jesus Christ. “Wow the US team… the highest compliment I can pay them is this crowd comes to its feet when they have the ball.”

Jesus every video about cleaning and maintaining a mini split beyond cleaning the filter makes the process look absolutely miserable.

Lot happening here that I like.

No way this awakens anything in me, right? remapradio.com/articles/it-...
