Me, multiple times through the first 15 minutes of Hoppers:

Well, the LEGO Game Boy is as wonderful as I'd hoped it would be. All the buttons work!

Well, dang. Not the result I wanted, but Canada had a good run. Would have loved to see them make it through to the round of 8, but still two home teams in the running.

This is the one period of time every four years I might be mistaken for a sports fan. I assure you, after the World Cup it's straight back to just horror, video games and very dumb jokes.

Let's go, Canadian Heroes. It's your time to shine.

Me: "Man Finds Tape sure seems to have some Uzumaki influences in the mix." -mysterious book at the end has a spiral on the cover- Me: "So, you're saying I'm NOT crazy?"

This looks nothing like the picture on the box!

I was going to watch the new Mummy, then I remembered @crobertcargill.bsky.social put in a good word for Man Finds Tape. The man has not steered me wrong yet, so taking a detour into found footage territory.

This will fix me. #WorldCup

My Sunday plans are made. Was gifted this at Christmas and feel like I'll fianlly have a day open to relax and click a bunch of bricks together.

Jacqui Oatley is wonderful on commentary. Warren Barton on the mic, though, means it's straight to the Telemundo feed with me. The dude's negativity and attitude about play just ruins a match for me.

This week's #LastFourWatched is further proof I have varied and sophisticated tastes. #LetterboxdFriday

Sleepwalkers: Reason number 1,263 the 90s were the most fun decade for horror. #MutantFam

This man doesn't want you to do blow with him. This man DEMANDS you do blow with him. This man also demands it be your blow, he didn't bring any. #WorldCup

World Cup will be muted on the big TV, but it's about time to put Sleepwalkers on the lil CRT.

If soccer is fake, explain this! #WorldCup

Alrighty, Spain, you know what to so.

What do you mean the Soulcalibur tournament wasn't in the Bible???

And the US is through to the round of 16. Another intense match. This World Cup has had every-damn-thing.

So PS6 definitely has no disc drive. Which means the next Xbox, which might very well be Microsoft's final console, almost certainly won't have a disc drive. And at this point, Nintendo is clearly flirting with digital only in its next console. This was expected, yet it's somehow still surprising.

Mexicoooooooo! Up 2 and we're not even at the half yet.

Norway does it! Haaland, our sweet baby cinnamon roll! #WorldCup

Morocco, hot damn! What a day of footy. Not sure my nerves can take several more weeks of this, but I'm up for the challenge.

Paraguay knocks Germany out of the World Cup! -screaming nonsense- What a match. What a tenses finish.

First Japan over Brazil, now Paraguay over Germany! Two first-half leads absolutely nobody was expecting today.

I wanted it for Japan so badly but, once again, an absolute banger of a match coming out of this World Cup.

I thought it would be rad, but I certainlt did not expect to see Japan actually over Brazil at the half.

Canada, wow! On to the next round!

Very niche gateway horror update, but I finally spotted Creepers #13 and #14 in the wild. Mine!

Gonna get Taco Bell before going wedding ring shopping, as one does.

I know fwiw means "for what it's worth," but my brain always insists on reading it "from what I wemember."

Me, just now, yelling upstairs: "Jeeeeeenn! Secret Galaxy did Gummy Bears!...Jenn, come waaaaaatch!"

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday is way more hit than miss.

Not the result I wanted, but ain't about to be mad about a match like that. Damn. Let's regroup, Team USA.

Team USA:

Ready to light this particular day on fire and watch it burn.

The Rhythm Heaven Groove demo got me itching, so I've been scratching with Rhythm Tengoku on the GBA...By way of the Miyoo Mini Plus.

This Mexico crowd is ready to tear down the stadium, brick by brick, and rebuild it five feet to the left fueled entirely by excitement and pride. #WorldCup

Gooooooal Mexicoooooo!

Let's go Mexico! Let's go South Korea!

Me, trying desperately to watch two World Cup matches at once.

To everyone who’s been asking me, for the past eight years, “When is STARLOG coming back??”

Portugal put on a damn show today. We've got some VERY exciting matches coming up if these advancing teams can keep up the pace.

I hope all the YouTubers who rolled their eyes at Rhythm Heaven Groove leading off the Nintendo Direct are seeing all the chatter from just the demo dropping and going, "Ooooh." As much as we like to rag on them - and frequently for good reason - Nintendo usually knows their audience pretty well.

Me, playing the Rhythm Heaven Groove demo while watching the World Cup.

The price of the Steam Machine is not unexpected, especially considering these current times (TM), but it does mean I'm safe from even considering picking one up so, thanks, I guess.

Starting to think this Messi guy just might be pretty good at soccer.

The season three premiere of House of the Dragon just kicks in the door and starts triumphantly flipping tables. What a great hour of television.

I don't know, folks, but I get the feeling at the half Spain just may be able to pull this one off.

Japan comin' in hot! #WorldCup
