Purdue is on a bye week so no game thread today from me. Supporting the Hawkeyes today as part of my “Fuck Indiana” agenda.

Sleepy Girl

How is this still relevant

Yeah, get that turkey

I want her to stay awake a little longer since I’m leaving the house in an hour and want her to sleep while I’m away, but she’s having none of it.

Oh… well this is really nice

Baby Amelia has arrived.

Wow, somehow Illinois ended up being the biggest disappointment of the day.

Game 4, Purdue Boilermakers at Notre Dame Fighting Irish

A lot of people talk about Tom Bombadil getting left out of the LotR movies but no one talks about how right after, the hobbits are almost ritually sacrificed to ghosts/zombies.

Ever think about how there must have been a lot of Kingdom Hearts fans who had named their pets Donald before they knew what was coming?

Fall is Falling a bit early

I kind of always thought Jimmy Fallon would be the last host of The Tonight Show, but I didn’t expect him to be the final late night talk show host on network television.

On diversity of cuisine alone, D is easily half the human population. G gets a strong second though, as Mexican, Southwest, Southern Traditional, multiple barbecues, all great.

Was lukewarm on it at first but the DK Bananza Emerald Rush mode starts to grow on you quite a bit once you get in the loop of it. Have done 6 or so runs already.

“After all, it could only you your life, and you got that for free!” remains one of the best quotes in video games.

In the newest episode of the Famiboards Discussion Club, we give our thoughts on the recent Nintendo Direct!

It’s absolutely fine to have wanted it to be cheaper, but yeah Galaxy 1 + 2 are gonna sell like hotcakes regardless.

Final thoughts on this game Honestly, I feel better about Purdue now that they’ve played a strong opponent. We aren’t world beaters, we’ll be underdogs most of the time, but we’re competing, and can’t be slept on. Progress is progress. Onto Notre Dame next week.

Week 3, USC Trojans at Purdue Boilermakers

Could be better, could be worse.

Pre-Football Ramen

Warms my Boilermaker heart that no matter what happens tomorrow against USC, Purdue is pretty safely NOT at the bottom of the Big Ten. Thanks Bruins!

Everyone: Playing exciting new and highly anticipated games Me the last month:

Visited these cuties today and am considering adopting one.

I dropped and cracked my phone about a week before today’s Apple event. COINCIDENCE?!?

Week 2 Big Ten Football Power Rankings 1. Ohio State 2. Oregon 3. Penn State 4. Illinois 5. USC 6. Nebraska 7. Michigan 8. Iowa 9. Indiana 10. Maryland 11. Minnesota 12. Michigan State 13. Wisconsin 14. Washington 15. Rutgers 16. Purdue 17. Northwestern 18. UCLA

Final thoughts on SIU at Purdue Not sure what to take away from this one. ISU seemed better than Ball State, especially offensively. Two easy touchdowns allowed to start the game isn’t encouraging, but the adjustments to stop them after was nice. I’ll take the win, but we need to be better for USC.

Game 2, Boilermakers vs Salukis

I think I disturbed a clandestine meeting while on my walk

Eh, deleted the last post just because I’d rather not have Musk’s face on my page.

Bleach Hot Take: The ”high schoolers fight evil ghosts” premise was really intriguing and should have either remained at the core of the series or at least had a much longer arc.

Best worst game. Glad to have played, never want to play again.

Alright, I’m convinced.

Let’s go!!!

It’s entirely possible I’ve forgotten half of my formal education, and yet I’ll know “2 3 1, twenty three is number one” until the day I die.

Pretty notable that the Nintendo Switch 2 article doesn’t classify its generation, given the original Switch is what really blew this whole thing up.

Numbered console generations were made up by a random Wikipedia user in 2004 in an attempt to standardize the "__ era game console" articles, and nobody ever corrected it. It's nonsense that no actual historian uses and you have permission to ignore it

I should play Hollow Knight

Week 1 Big Ten Football Power Rankings 1. Penn State 2. Ohio State 3. Oregon 4. Illinois 5. USC 6. Michigan 7. Maryland 8. Iowa 9. Indiana 10. Nebraska 11. Washington 12. Michigan State 13. Minnesota 14. Wisconsin 15. Purdue 16. Rutgers 17. UCLA 18. Northwestern

Final thoughts on the first game: Good competent win, but also against a smaller and less successful program. Worst case scenario avoided, but still a lot to prove. Ryan Browne is an accurate passer, but I’m not sure he can make the deep throws. Had fun live posting, we’ll see if I keep it up.

We’re so back! #BoilerUp

Just a fair warning, I’ll likely be talking A LOT about Purdue Sports tomorrow. Probably frustratedly for Football where we are probably bad, and hopefully excitedly about Basketball, where we are good.

Radio-Canada showed Drag x Drive to actual wheelchair basketballers who are all very positive on the game, while noting the differences with the real life sport. But they're loving the representation.

I’m becoming more convinced that some people are outright wanting, cheering for GTA to be $100. Like it’s some kind of big “for the lols” moment.

Got my fall supply of Purdue football apparel. #BoilerUp

If I can’t make the pulled pork good on its own, at least I can launder it into breakfast burritos.

Unfortunately, it didn’t come out great, compared to last time. Took like 17 hours to actually hit temp, and I think I still pulled it too early. Oh well, some day I’ll get an actual smoker, oven isn’t really built for this.
