Yeah, not surprising. Slow or low sales is often why you see series not get finished, rights change hands (“not worth” holding onto), release features (like extras) disappear, or production quality tank (no LEs, cheaper packaging, etc). Aside from sales, it helps if there’s a very vocal fandom.

I wouldn’t say any of them have been particularly “hard.” I don’t think he’s been cancelled, per se, but I did watch the Sonic movies despite Jim Carrey being in them. I avoid anything else he does, though, because of the whole anti-vaccine/autism thing.

If you see this, post a fictional character you want to be.

I decided to try Monday.com because I keep seeing it in job posts. It’s not great. It feels like someone looked at a real project management tool like Wrike and said, “hey what if we pared this down to the absolute minimum then stuck a bunch of AI in there to get C-suite execs super into it?”

QTP with a ship that's not from Star Wars or Star Trek 🚀

Sharing a question from a friend: If you could only listen to 10 albums for the rest of your life, what would they be? Soundtracks, compilations, best-ofs are fair game.

Since ~October last year, my bedroom has smelled like ammonia to varying degrees. No one else seems to notice, so I’m not sure if I have a brain tumor, or my upstairs neighbor’s cat is pissing somewhere it shouldn’t and I’m just sensitive to the smell.

The “Masters of the Universe” trailer looked exactly like some shit I’d watch if not for Jared Leto. I will 100% skip that movie, despite loving MotU growing up, entirely because Jared Leto is in it.

I usually do an initial run through as a warrior to get comfortable with the game, but after that it’s been mage since Dragon Age II. I tend to lean more toward area-of-effect/damage-over-time abilities, with one or two big single target ones.

AI is dying. Repost to make it die faster.

I rarely get likes on stuff like this, so tomorrow I’m just going to start answering a question a day.

I know I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating: I’m so incredibly glad I found the band Ghost. The music is amazing, the fandom has been the least toxic I’ve seen outside of Dimension 20, and it’s helped me form a closer bond to someone I care for quite dearly.

This applies to TTRPGs as well, but I absolutely refuse to put children, the elderly, animals, or people don’t know what they’re doing in danger. I also can’t do “evil” runs through games.

FRIEND: If you were a vampire would you bite any of your friends? ME: Nah. FRIEND: No? Really? ME: Ok maybe one or two, but ONLY if they gave ENTHUSIASTIC consent. I’m not doing that coy or manipulative shit. You need to tell me you want to be bitten directly and clearly. FRIEND: Oh of course.

bsky.app/profile/did:... Block list too if you want to block every other US gov dept (though you can just use this to click individually, report, and then block if you want, too).

Okay, back to more pressing matters. If you haven't already, tomorrow is a good time to leave a VM for your electeds over DHS funding.

I genuinely believe mainstream democrat string pullers have STILL not grasped how far right they are, compared to the people they consider their “base”

I used to post to a message board that spun off of Penny Arcade’s called Torch the Bridge. I posted so much, in fact, that for a while I had a weekly “radio show” on their ShoutCast server. I played new wave and metal for two hours.

I’ve listened to this ~10 times already.

STOP what you're doing and post your fave companion from Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect!

Gavin Newsome can eat glass and get fucked.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Ask away, and assuming I have a top four I’ll respond.

My town was too small for a Blockbuster, which is ironic because we had seven different mom-n-pops shops. My favorite had a massive video game section. It was next to a big ABC liquor store and a Food Lion, so we’d go on Friday or Saturday nights before people came over and everyone got drunk.

Introduce yourself with: 1 movie 1 book 1 TV show 1 album

On the one hand this is the absolute dumbest version of The Terminator, and on the other this dog shit idea is going to get so many people killed and leak so much classified data. I don’t know how it’ll do the latter, but it will.

Hey folks, I’ll be in LA for a couple days/nights at the end of February (right before my birthday). The last time I was in town for personal stuff, I discovered an amazing bar called The Lash that has since closed. Are there any other goth-adjacent places I could check out while there?

Watching Twin Peaks is giving me the itch to play Alan Wake, American Nightmare, and Alan Wake II again back-to-back.

FRIEND: I’m playing Daggerheart! Can’t decide between human ranger or frog wizard. ME: Frog wizard. Any opportunity you have to be a little freak, be a little freak.

I’m not a big travel guy, for two reasons: 1. Managing my anxiety and having my routine disrupted just to get on a plane sucks real bad, and 2. It’s prohibitively expensive if you aren’t at a certain income level. That said: traveling to multiple states on the east coast is much easier.

Finally watching Twin Peaks. How did I not watch this show sooner? It’s perfect.

I got a haircut this evening. After 18 months I genuinely feel weird having shorter hair, and I also genuinely forgot how wavy it is if I don’t dry it (I brushed it back as usual after showering). My b white hair stands out a lot more in person now.

What was the last movie or TV show you watched in 2025? 📺🎬

This would 100% work on me.

I don’t know if it’s emotional rebound from three straight days of extroversion, or just my current situation, but boy oh boy is that depression kicking hard today.

The same thing I always use, even when ketchup is available: nothing.

I just discovered that after ~17 months my hair is finally at the length where I can wear it like Geralt of Rivia/Qui-Gon Jinn. It looks fucking terrible, but still.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

ME: I can finally stop getting annoyed when people say “sailor scout.” ALSO ME: It’s “Sailor Guardian.” “Scout” is from the awful 90’s dub. Please watch the new dub, because a friend of mine worked very hard to make sure it’s true to the original Japanese you PHILISTINE.

Watching the latest episode of Last Meals reminds me of the time I showed my boss how popular a certain actual-play was, which he pitched to the guy in charge of development who turned it down because he’d “never heard of it.” Then a few months later a different guy asked me to explain the series—

Earlier/ Photo shows the San Francisco, California power outage. Everything south of Market affected

I talk a lot of crap about @pacificgaselectric.bsky.social, and deservedly so. A huge chunk of the predominantly residential Sunset and Richmond districts STILL have no power, but downtown looks fuckin’ great on the outage map.

Everyone who hasn’t had power for the last 8+ hours should at least get credits on their next couple of bills.

If you’re in SF and currently sitting in the dark like me, and you want to direct your ire at someone, @pacificgaselectric.bsky.social is the official account for PG&E.

FRIEND: If you were on a dating app, what would your bio be? ME: “Imagine a hobbit with depression and anxiety, or a vampire with existential despair who’s bad at flirting but great at pattern recognition.”

I should probably try to get a haircut, right? It’s been ~17 months.

I got rejected for a job I applied to today, because the company requires employees to be willing to travel for more than 75% of their work and I selected 50% on the application. Yeah, ok, maybe put that REQUIREMENT in the description instead of having me select how much travel I’m willing to do.

My roommate recently told me he “looks up to” me as “a guy who has his shit together,” and I cannot stress enough that outside of professional settings I absolutely do not have my shit together. I’m incredibly competent as a project manager/line producer, but as a human I’m just kind of a mess.

Saw this pop up on Instagram. Mine is “Funeral Knife,” which I can only assume is a knife used directly in a funerary capacity vs a knife that is simply funereal.
