My son just beat me in Mario Kart

I love that sonic cross world racing adds a “rival” to each race so that if you’re playing multiplayer you aren’t so much racing against each other as you are racing your collective rival. It’s a small touch that lets your kids cheer you on winning too that’s pretty genius

@margaret.bsky.social apologies you may have said this on a podcast (I’m very behind) but is there any update on the audio books for the Immortal Choir kickstarter? I’m debating if I should just buy the books since I hadn’t read the earlier ones. Hope you’re doing well.

Someone ignores me when I ask them something and my mind immediately goes to “crap, did I get phased slightly out of existence and now I need to figure out how to get back?”

I’ve now played 100 hours across more than a year of Fallout 4 and I guess now would be as good a time as any to start up the main quest of <checks notes> finding out who murdered my wife and stole my child

With the kids at the Y and there’s something magical about kids inventing new games to play in the pool. Some things naturally reinvent themselves and sometimes they’re just swimming in circles to see who can do it the longest

I think I’ve gotten to the age where the brightness of LED lights and my astigmatism combine to make nighttime driving while in Blade Runner basically impossible

Police are still searching for the three missing children that bullied the kid from the Neverending Story. Police are baffled by the taunting notes left in an alley boasting that this would be the first of many wishes. Any information you can supply would be greatly appreciated by their families.

Kid watching Never ending story with me: these CGI effects look old Me: that’s a practical effect, computers couldn’t do CGI yet Kid leaning forward and getting interested: wait, that’s real? Me (trying to keep it cool to not oversell) yeah Jim Henson was a genius. Cool huh? Kid: yeah!

Just realized that Community’s “timelines” episode is essentially TNG’s Cause and Effect. There really is a reason the show is looked back on so fondly. The growth in what was possible with a tv show is really on display with it.

Watching TNG the outcast and it’s really shocking how much it was reaching to something that people wouldn’t culturally get around to understanding until decades later. I love surface level fluff writing but man, when something touches a buried wire like this it really sparks something in me.

Just had a meeting where I was planning the long term release process for not only my team but how to handle and coordinate it for an even bigger platform. So good news is I hope even more of you will like the thing that I’m working on, whatever it is. Bad news is

At the point of a TNG watch through where the only thing keeping the galaxy together is Riker’s loins

My son loves Ace Attorney and he just found out there’s a live action version of it. It is directed by Takashi Miike which is kind of bonkers but also is apparently a thing he just does too. The movie is ridiculous so far

Saw some friends I hadn’t met in years today. Was real nice. Like we hadn’t been apart a day

I mean it’s memorable… but you gotta admit rhyming “boogie” with “boogie” in But first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie is not the most technically difficult rhyme you could possibly make…

Fun fact: Humpty Dumpty is never referred to as an egg in the original nursery rhyme. He could be anything. Anything at all. Which brings me to your 2019 Lego Millennium Falcon…

You guys will never believe this but I was dealing with an intractable problem that had a ticking clock associated with it and while I happened to be describing a limitation of mine (inability to eat sweet peas without a lot of gas) we figured out the solution… And it involved gastronomic distress!

The onigiri restaurant now knows us by name

To be clear, I would die to defend a multicultural zone. I LOVE that we have food from all over AND that food gets remixed into delicious new things I LOVE that I can watch and read great things from all over I LOVE that there is clothing and art and music from all over Why would I want LESS?

The description of Predator badlands as a metroidvania is absolutely on point and delightful. With this and alien earth I’m remarkably surprised at how much life they’ve reinvigorated into the franchises and it makes me question the folks that are like “just let franchise X die”

Will you be OUR Valentine?

Watching predator badlands and video game writers writing for ncp assist characters could learn a lot from how Thia is written. Particularly how and why you invest in her character

You’d think after the fourth monkey falling off the bed the doctor would have called CPS

Posting hi to myself in the future when I make a FOI request to find out what tweets the government got on me. Did Jack fix the deck yet? Did mullets make a comeback? Does Florida still exist?

Imagine if someone was paired with RFK on a podcast, really hyped him up and then just as he was getting ready to talk to a prepped audience about vax denial, the hype man says “everyone shut up! The guy who snorted cocaine off a toilet seat wants to tell us how to be healthy! Shut up! Listen!”

Music list for car ride home from school was the Wedding Singer soundtrack. Forgot how many bangers were on it

Happy Friday for those who celebrate

Do you think Dustin’s still together with his Never Ending Story girlfriend or did some side story we didn’t see ruin the relationship Does that make it easier to explain? No it didn’t work out… … Vecna

There’s a special kind of joy that only posters know when you’ve been struggling with wordsmithing a joke and then you finally realize that “Chocula” fits the letter count perfectly and it’s like you’ve solved the Riemann hypothesis

When he enters the public domain, I will write, direct and star in the horror version of the Michigan J Frog story. Poster’ll just be a single spotlight on a box in a construction site, bit of blood on the side Tagline’ll say “Hello my baby”… but, like, real sinister

So it wasn’t big Pharma, or even big Construction funding him… it was big Ozone Hole

Jaunty, prescription medicine music plays, people playing sports in the background, one turns to the camera “How do I ZangoZip tm? I turn my panic attacks into humor!” They laugh a bit too loudly and rejoin the group

Turn that rictus frown upside down!

When I drive the kids to school I do exercises with them on what to do in various emergencies. Today’s was running out of gas, because we were. “Is it safer to walk on the side of the road or go all the way to the grass, should you call mom or dad” that sort of thing. Then we change it up. What if…

Do you think Boo Berry ever got justice against the man who killed him?

Is Fozzie Bear doing a Richard Kind impression or is Richard Kind doing a Fozzie Bear impression?

We talk a lot about the Turing test and not so much about the Gnirut test. I wanna convince a computer I’m one of them. Get the real tea on what they’re planning to do to us.

There is something legitimately beautiful about a well lit board. Like a neon scene from Bladerunner writ small

Hey McFly, you bojo! Those boards don’t work on water! Unless you’ve got (Nintendo) Power! The opening strings of A beautiful mine start playing and we fade to… Mad Men… of the 80s!

The VP liked this proposal! Liked it so much I now need to gather data to convert the proposal into a rollout plan

Eleven, you get to be a badass psychic warrior! Eleven: yay! And Mike, you get to be the key guy keeping the group together, the storyteller Mike: fun! Dustin, you become an iconic rebel while still being relatable, probably second most memorable face in the series Dustin: awesome! …

Intricate, overly elaborate Ocean’s Eleven style heist to break into a celebrity’s Bluesky and remove the muting they applied to my account shortly after following it that one time I said something weird.

I wanna say God bless the weirdos in the discover feed. I like to think I’m an open minded individual and you are just pushing that envelope like you were a hired goon setting up a death trap for a mail themed Batman villain from the 60s

Highlight of my day: heard a senior VP of a massive company dealing with billions of dollars say “I must be misunderstanding this suggestion because it seems ridiculous and dumb” They said this immediately following me speaking

Wait can you plead the fifth for something you’re already in jail for?

Anyone in the marvel universe ever get worried that adopting the name “Avengers” kind of insinuates that they habitually missed saving someone the first time?

I know we all joke but the fact that the only prescription is more cowbell is a stark indictment of the stranglehold big cowbell has on the pharmaceutical industry

My wife was asking me what I wanted done once I passed and I said I wanted my head stuffed and mounted on the wall like this

Got an email from Jessica Fletcher and got real excited only to realize it was a spam business mail to get me to use some tool for my team. Thought I was gonna be involved in a murder investigation
