I have not yet consumed any Heated Rivalry content but I just have to say, as a former sports reporter the post-game scent in a hockey locker room (at least at the college level) is absolutely not conducive to romance of any kind

Gabriel Magalhães is the most important, most impactful player in the Premier League and it’s not close. His play (and health) will decide the title race this year.

GET POPPED, TARTS

so Keyonte George, huh

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE PITT COMES BACK IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, I'M NOT EMOTIONALLY READY

I will humbly and gratefully accept Snorlax

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

Layton ( @theshums.bsky.social ): What are you doing? Me, cleaning: “I’m just putting the adult sippies next to the Shumling’s sippies”

I just finished Tactics (for the first time) (via the recent remaster) but I’m jonesing for another one

In Japan, they call it "tansaku (exploratory) action" because they’re afraid of Nintendo

It’s the last work day of the year so post a video game banger youtu.be/y8_AaQTG4Hw

I will repost this every time I see it

not sure about life, the universe, and everything, but 42 feels wonderful

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

I remember seeing the reveal trailer for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and thinking, “Holy crap, that looks like literally nothing else out here right now.” A hugely original work that deserves its, um…flowers.

Crystal Dynamics: This is the second time we have rebooted the first tomb raider game and we are getting exceedingly effective at it

Control is an illusion, something to let go of while parenting, and maybe, just maybe, something to reclaim while gaming. Loved writing this short guest essay for @crossplayblog.bsky.social. www.crossplay.news/p/sick-days-...

COME ON YOU GUNNERS

(Shumling sleeping peacefully but needs to get up) me: time to wake up! (no movement) sundyst: come on, little one! (no movement) me: oooh, I think I hear the recycle truck! Shumling (sitting up immediately though barely conscious): …cycle truck???

I don’t know exactly when Ethan Hawke turned into Al Pacino but I’m here for it

do…do they think serifs are wieners

Shadow of the Colossus (2005)

Just finished Final Fantasy Tactics for the first time (the recent Ivalice Chronicles release (on the easiest difficulty)). It definitely got its hooks in eventually, but it took a LOT of grinding to fulfill the promise of its systems. Wish you could have more than five active characters in battle.

New Star Wars character just dropped

Manager: You design that peace prize trophy for trump? Sculptor: Sure did boss, the demonic hands of hell grasping as if to drag the entire world down with them, just like you asked. Manager: Y'know what fine

oh good, the silly part is over, I can watch the World Cup draw now

it makes me happy to see so many cozy coffee shops opening in provo. this is Moon Peak, just south of the Academy library. (obligatory coffee shop selfie included)

Normally, it's pretty clear that Japan always gets a better box art cover, but The Guardian Legend on NES is pretty close. Both of these are gorgeous. And the game is pretty eclectic as well. #gaming #retro #Nintendo 🎮

forgot to mention COME ON YOU GUNNERS

I will not be posting a spotify wrapped because 95% of my spotify activity is a random soothing piano piece we use when the shumling is going to bed and the rest is kpop demon hunters and I don't need to share a jpeg to know that

first morning back at my desk post-Thanksgiving and as usual I look less tired than I feel

the clippers are a terrible team and organization, but chris paul has always been a whiny little herb, so it's a wash

True free will is the holy trinity of three forever-rotating beverages on my desk

oh

okay I don’t know when the right time is to discover your 2-year-old is capable of operating, but does not fully comprehend, the deadbolt on the door to your garage but I can tell you that the WRONG time is when you’re getting down boxes of Christmas decorations and you don’t have your keys on you

toddler dropping (dry) froot loops on the rug: fine, I’ll pick it up toddler immediately overcome with the need to incorporate those froot loops into the rug at the molecular level using physical violence: sigh, now we must involve vacuums

Leave little Saruman alone.

Having seen this, I’ve got to say, the KPop Demon Hunter fans need to re-discover Final Fantasy X-2, where you play a girl band who changes fighting classes by changing dresses and has no less than two concerts on the way to saving the world from a giant weapon.
