Millennials can argue about whether or not we’re old or how well we’re aging, but they’ve got Topanga out here doing colon cancer screening ads. We old. Get your bloodwork done.

“…that doesn't do enough to justify being made.” I totally get the sentiment here. I understand the context. But I also understand that Moana 2 made over a billion dollars almost two years ago. That’s the justification.

My oldest daughter was such an easy student that I’m so underprepared to teach my youngest. That kid be having me stressed out over the simplest things.

Not that anyone cares, but I finally have a router that can access the Wii Shop Channel. First time in 9 years. (Note: the shop closed in 2019. I had to make final purchases by hot spotting to my phone.) Not that I can do anything there, but it’s nice to just browse my account history.

Just a reminder - the Carolina Hurricanes are 2025-26 Stanley Cup Champions. #RaiseUp

Seems shortsighted. Probably not their best idea.

Quotes like this highlight why I am always intrigued by attach rates and wear them like a badge of honor (or cloak of shame). While I may buy 30+ games over the life of console, most people will own 6 or 7 at most.

This is a very funny post but I think it's also a fascinating window into the psychology of a lot of these people who just get so used to acting with impunity and never facing consequences that that continually stumble into these sorts of impossible "how did this not occur to them" situations

Apparently, this is the one issue where Twitter and Bluesky are aligned.

Don’t be sad. 35% of Americans believe we won the World Cup

*checks score* After seeing Ted Cruz pledge his support on top of 45’s foolishness, I knew the karma gods were not going to be in the USMNT’s favor, but damn.

While I’m sure they’re having meetings about this, I fully expect Sony to stick to their guns. The market has told them that the vocal minority is just that, a minority. Sure, they will lose a number of hardcore gamers who buy lots of games, but most won’t change their buying habits.

She’s doing right by her daddy. He would be proud.

Politics is 90% people just yapping and often people's stated political beliefs dont align with how they live their lives or their behavior.

Some of my favorite gaming memories are playing Atari 2600 games with only a sliver of narrative and letting my imagination fill in the rest. Yar’s Revenge. Venture. Missile Command. It’s amazing how good the brain is at filling in gaps.

Nintendo really doesn’t get enough credit for releasing *something* every month. Don’t like Mario Tennis? Wait a month. Here’s Pokopia. Don’t like that? Here’s Yoshi. Or Xenoblade. Or Star Fox. Or Rhythm Heaven. Or Splatoon. Or Fire Emblem. Etc If Asha wants to reset XBOX, she should emulate that.

C’mon Asha. 1 billion players a day does not meet the “A” component of setting a SMART goal.

Not that I want any attention placed on them, but I’m fascinated at Rare staying under the radar with all of the changes happening at XBOX. They last released a game in 2018.

Microsoft is selling off four Xbox studios as part of significant gaming cuts. https://ow.ly/f8Be50ZkCWO Double Fine and Compulsion Games are going independent, and Microsoft is also selling Ninja Theory and Undead Labs.

In a little less than a month, both kids will be in school. Wild. We’ve been at the same daycare for 7 years. Staffing ups and downs. Covid*. A tragedy. The influx of white people*. The fee increases*. NC Pre-K changes. Come August? *poof*

About to open Rhythm Heaven because I decided to boot up Patapon 1+2 that I got in price error…and I am not having a good time. At least Rhythm Heaven is funny before it kicks you in the junk.

Probably the only person on the planet to gain super powers from eating at Yum-Yums. #GSO

Unlocked a core memory that my mom used to* put tuna in her macaroni salad. I feel like that is something I haven’t seen in a hot minute. *she stopped as my sister didn’t like it, but she’d make a dish +tuna/-boiled egg for me.

This could be true just as easily as it could be false. FIFA is crooked. Trump is crooked. It makes sense. But in this current moment of “America,” pulling for a national team that isn’t the Men’s Basketball team (or any Women’s squad) is something you do at your own peril.

This is why they hide. They want them Black and Brown dollars.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Checked all the boxes today. Drank beers. Ate hot dogs. Kids went swimming. Saw some fireworks. Solid day. 🧨

Not for nothing, this is the chef at TBT El Gallo and I am ABSO FUCKING LUTELY eating his food. This guy knows whats up

Saw this video on FB and I’ve come back to it a few times. Mind you, being 1990 rich in 2026 will still cost a bit of coin if you didn’t own a house before 2021, but it’s good to recenter from time to time.

As Millennials, we need to do a better job of putting respect on the Summer ‘99 playlist.

Every year I wonder if I have the energy to run this gimmick, and every year it’s always worth the investment.

Early 2010s Drake really messed up by not releasing a summer jam that sampled “Summer Madness.” Easy layup.

Put this on the front of the Hometown Remix jerseys instead. #RaiseUp

“This will be my first actual white teacher.” 7 talking about her soon to be 2nd grade teacher. According to anecdotal evidence, this is already a statistical anomaly these days.

She’s either insane or a visionary.

There’s the journalism rule of if you headline is a question, the answer is already “No,” but it’s been a minute since I’ve seen an article go into such detail to reinforce just how strong of a no this instance is.

This is the first offseason I’ve actively paid attention to hockey salaries and - compared to NFL/NBA/MLB - those guys are making peanuts.

We were going to see fireworks, but fuck, it’s scorching. Bribed the kids with Chuck E. Cheese and ice cream for dinner to convince them to do something else.

Hmm. For better or worse, not surprising.

At this rate, I might not be saying this next year.

Somehow I became HOA President, became a Committee Chair in my Scholarship Fund group, and am now the most senior (*only*) person in my department at work and I don’t like it. Being important is really getting in the way of just playing Splatoon all day.

In case anyone was curious, r/gamecollecting is having a collective moment.

Top 3 episode of RGB.

Convinced that adding chickpeas and corn to a meal increases the fullness potential 70%. Small but dense.

it literally is

Halfway tempted to buy Rhythm Heaven Groove - just as an investment. Fever (Wii) never clicked with me, but goes for $130-$150 on eBay. Megamix (3DS) didn’t even get a physical run in the US, so I’m expecting whatever NOA printed for Groove (Switch) to be all they do.

My favorite is when you get to the point to where you’re like, “I’m good on new friends. I like our team.” But then you encounter new people - via mutual interests, kids, etc - and you can tell they’re putting out feelers to join the friend group.

Another of many dominos has fallen in what’s been a weird summer. At least I knew about this one. My company has been acquired and *as of now* nothing is set to change. Honestly, I believe them. Just because if how we’re integrated, there’s not a lot of space for “redundancies.”
