enclose.horse Day 45 💎 PERFECT! 💎 100%

My new toy finally arrived from the UK, so of course the first thing I did was play Lolo on it.

NEW EPISODE! #Pluribus is over (for now), but Annie & Jenn are still here! Join us as we discuss the first season. pluribuspod.com

Haven’t been super active here but episode 2 animatic is almost done yayyyyy

Against all odds, it looks like I'll be headed to MAGfest after all. Look forward to seeing many of you there, be sure to stop by and play Little Nemo at booth 26!

Everyone at MAGFest right now has to show me cool stuff you see there so I can live vicariously through you all as I lie here sick in bed.

I also need to highlight someone else’s contribution to the Magfest museum this year: a slew of Japanese keitai with games on them! These were staples of Japanese gaming pre-smartphone, and it’s rad to see them presented here on their original hardware.

Currently on day 13 of my first covid infection, and this is the sickest I've felt in my entire life. 😭

I knew I had this 1993 Angel Peach plush around somewhere! She's finally been reunited with the rest of the set and added to the website. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄 collection.rainknight.net/2025/12/23/b...

Bagel is obviously a huge part of my special Night Thoughts. She passed between recording and air, & Hulu was kind enough to let us add a dedication to her at the end, to include her in all the marketing (bottom left of poster) & give her an actual credit on the special. Bagel forever and ever.

SPECIAL EPISODE! Annie & Jenn sit down for a chat with Carol Sturka herself, Rhea Seehorn! Alongside "Pluribus," we cover a variety of topics including The X-Files, social media, and Rhea’s aversion to white wine. Join us! pluribuspod.com #Pluribus

Lots of well-deserved love for Rhea Seehorn, but damn, the guy who plays Manousos is killing it, too

THEY'VE PUT ME ON THE POCKETSTATION COOP. I'M BEING RENDERED IN A 32 BY 32 GRID OF MONOCHROME PIXELS. THE BOYS BACK AT QUANTICO SAID THEY'RE GOING TO RELOCATE ME TO A "DOKO DEMO ISSYO" UNTIL THEY CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/

I fear the end is near for the broccoli plants in my garden that I tried growing from seed in late summer. We made it almost halfway through December, but they still haven't formed a crown, and now we're expecting our first big snowfall of the year and temperatures in the low teens tomorrow. 😔

Yes it's true! Instead of the Game Awards I recommend watching my GDC lecture on the state of video game preservation. I put my entire ass into this and it would mean a lot if you watched. youtu.be/_00AjQNjgDk

While the paper hasn't come out just yet, the news certainly has. Proud to announce our discovery of color patterning in a sauropod dinosaur. Will go in depth tomorrow.

Congrats to re-elected Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller (D). This is the first, but it may not be the only electoral victory for someone who has appeared on PLURIBUS.

In honor of the Wii U's 13th anniversary (of the Japanese launch) and Rhea Seehorn fucking finally getting a Golden Globe nomination, here's the current state of my Better Call Saul shrine, which lives in my office next to my Wii U.

Rhea Seehorn is finally a Golden Globe nominee for her performance in ‘PLURIBUS’ She was never nominated for ‘BETTER CALL SAUL’ during that show’s run. See the nominees list: bit.ly/GGNoms25

Of all of the 40+ years worth of video game consoles in my house, the Wii U is the only one that I currently have hooked up in my home office. (Wii Fit U continues to be the best weight management tool I've ever used, and I still check in with it daily.)

Apparently when you preorder a game six and a half years before it actually comes out, that creates some unique challenges for stores trying to find your order.

It's Giving Tuesday at the VGHF! We've had an incredible 2025, but we need your help to make sure we can continue doing our charitable work in 2026 and beyond. We just launched our annual Winter Fundraiser campaign, please give if you're able (and share this post!). http://gamehistory.org/donate

I finally found the best Switch icon.

Welp, so much for hoping this antibiotic wouldn't try to kill me. 🙃

the sense of incredulity and comic revulsion i get every time i see a cybertruck in the wild has not been reduced by even a single degree in all the time they’ve been on the street

Probably me new favorite show on TV, right now. Give the pod a listen, they really deep dive into the story, cinematography, and themes!

Starting a brand new antibiotic today. Fingers crossed that this one doesn't try to kill me!

IT IS RESURRECTED! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BilL... And then some, this is really more of an artistic tribute to the original Halikan industrial design with better materials and some fancy flair. Check it out, it's some of the best work by @polymatt.bsky.social yet!

Vince Gilligan's new show Pluribus is incredible, and feels like it may have been designed as an eff you to the Emmys for never awarding Rhea Seehorn

Yes, I will be coping with the horrors by obsessing over Pluribus for the next 2+ months, as if there was any doubt.

“'I hate AI,' Gilligan says with a chuckle. 'AI is the world’s most expensive and energy-intensive plagiarism machine. I think there’s a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit.'" variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Holy hell. ‘Pluribus’ might be the best first episode of anything in a while, and Rhea Seehorn is *incredible* in it. Every time you think you know what kind of show you’re watching it surprises. Absolutely a refreshingly bold concept.

AI will NOT take the sparkle emoji from me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Introducing The X-Files 2026 Wall Calendar! This new end-of-the-year item just dropped for pre-order, available exclusively for members of my Patreon. You can sign up for free to get pre-order access at patreon.com/jjlendl.

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

The squirrels in my backyard are always eating delicious sandwiches.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Happy #Pluribus Halloween! 🎃 🙂

I'm heartbroken. 😢 I spent 15 years commuting from NJ to DE, and for the majority of that time, my drive to work was during Pierre's time slot. His welcoming voice and positive attitude always helped to put me in the right mindset to face the day. Rest in peace, good citizen, you will be missed. 💔

We've added another 600+ pages of video game catalogs to our library, including some mail-order catalogs from the UK! archive.gamehistory.org/folder/ccc52...

Can we finally get Lololo and Lalala plushes now?

Starting soon! All are free to watch over Zoom!

Hey folks, @totter87.bsky.social and I will be going over some of the topics we cover in our 2D level design book for the Philly IGDA meeting tomorrow tonight! The event will be hosted via Zoom (and I'll be live at Drexel for in-area people) and you can pre-reg here: bit.ly/IGDAPhillyMo...

Too sick to get out of bed today, so I can only check on the plant babies through the window. 😢
