Been taking a break from #BacklogTour2026 for a bit. Think I burned myself out a bit with the pace I was going early in the year. Been catching up on a few series/anime I have been meaning to watch/catch up on in the meantime. Hopefully get back to that within the near future, though.

youtu.be/XfkD0glS-bU?... Phenomenal YouTube algorithm pull.

Guy won a truck race six days ago and said "you never know when the last one is." Life comes (and goes) fast, man. RIP.

youtu.be/HVPzWkdhwrw?... This popped on shuffle this morning. Never really appreciated just how silky smooth the bassline is.

Boy, if ever there was a practical application of rest vs. rust, this is gonna be it. Montreal has played 14 of a possible 14 games. Carolina has played the bare minimum 8. This is gonna be a fun as hell series. #GoHabsGo

youtu.be/Yn1E93HXaSM?... This song, in general, is great, but that second solo is ELITE, especially from 4:36 on.

youtu.be/nFrwpD2EEZo?... Totally need to do another playthrough of Stardew one of these days. Imma vibe to this in the meantime.

youtu.be/oApkz1EAuq0?... 1. I learned today that there was a third season of Psycho-Pass that I overlooked. Gonna need to watch that ASAP. Probably start on that tomorrow. 2. The intro theme for it is a banger and a half. Holy shit.

youtu.be/G-7U-FDql1A?... On a Gorillaz kick right now. Feel like I gotta shout this one out specifically. Absolute bop.

Really like what the Packers did in the draft this year. Double-dipped at their biggest weakness from last year. Got two front 7 guys with high win rates. Got a guy with a mean streak in the offensive trenches. And we are likely done with McManus. I am sold. #GoPackGo

Gotta post this today for obvious reasons. youtu.be/V3yuto9xjEE?...

A fair bit of this reaction has to do with Buffalo not being in the playoffs for 15 years... but this is why I will always say the NHL has the best playoffs of the big 4 in the U.S. Electric.

Finn's Demon entrance will never not be elite. Same with "Catch Your Breath." S-tier theme. #WrestleMania

Yeah, you can go right ahead and strap a rocket on Oba Femi after this. #WrestleMania

This week's episode of #Invincible... Absolute peak. Holy shit, man.

In the meantime, I did enjoy Danganronpa S. The board game was/is fun, but it just feels like there isn't enough variability between runs to warrant an extended time playing it (like a Balatro or Hades). Feels like it could be a fun thing to go back to every now and again, though.

Good a time as any to go back and do Borderlands 4. I went through Wonderlands this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I imagine I will go through it an additional time when all DLC is out (if it isn't already), because I usually do go through these games a second time.

Hell of a season, guys. Gutted it had to end like that, but you can easily hold your head high after that run. #Badgers

#Badgers going for a Natty in men's hockey? #Badgers going for a Natty in men's hockey.

Danganronpa 2 remake is coming out later this year, so I'm gonna finally go ahead and do DS. Didn't hear the greatest reviews about it, but I got it on deep sale, so (probably) no harm, no foul if it's meh.

Just finished up watching "The Wire." Damn good series. Certainly a lot to keep track of, but still very much worth the watch. Now? #BacklogTour2026 resumes. Ended up taking a break with that altogether, but I'm ready to get back to it.

Cole Caufield and scoring goals on Saturdays. Name a more iconic duo. #GoHabsGo

Ben Dexheimer scores from the point just 24 secs into OT, Wisconsin is headed to the Frozen Four

VIVA LAS VEGAS! WHAT A WIN! #Badgers

youtu.be/AJ5aIvjNgao?... This opening. Absolute chef's kiss material. Couple lines in particular hold up insanely well, too.

Counting Miz's strikeouts today: #ThisIsMyCrew

Immaculate find.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

MARK JOHNSON IS INEVITABLE. So happy the seniors on this team got sent off in style! Lot of firepower to replace for next year (3 OLYMPIANS!), but I have no doubt Mark will have this team ready to compete again come fall. #Badgers

Hell of a game. Congrats to Venezuela! #WBC2026

20+ inches of snow at one time with consistent wind: 0/10. Would not recommend.

As happy as I am that the U.S. won... you just cannot end a game like that, man. Perdomo did a beautiful job taking a tough pitch, and instead of getting rewarded for it... it's strike 3. That just cannot happen. #WBC2026

Mood this morning:

Hell of an algorithm pull from YouTube tonight. This is so delightfully weird. I am hooked. youtu.be/sfDtfz7vXkY?...

youtu.be/r80HF68KM8g?... Had this song pop on shuffle on the way to work this morning. So damn good.

Been a while since I have decided to pick up an Assassin's Creed game (Black Flag was the last), but this one spoke to me. Going to likely be a very long undertaking, though. At least 60+ hours. One of the longest games I have in my backlog, if not the longest. Probably start that this weekend.

Finished the main quest in Horizon Zero Dawn last night. Still have probably half of the Frozen Wilds DLC left, so not adding it to the Done thread just yet. I imagine I will have plenty of time to get that (and side quests) done tonight, though.

Former Badger? Hyper-local dude? Match made in heaven for the Packers if they can find a way to swing it.

Obligatory post because I saw this was gonna be a part of a new Marvel game collection coming out in the near future. Legit top 5 NES soundtrack. youtu.be/-J0H5ah1G7A?...

2027 (maybe late 2026?) is gonna be so damn fun, man. Guy is just scratching the surface of what he can do.

I've tried starting Horizon on a couple of occasions but didn't find myself in the right mindset to fully get into it. Hoping this is the time. I'll probably start that later this week. Got one other project I want to start before that... finally going through "The Wire."

19 down... 20th coming next year. #MegaMan11
