We did not weather nigh two decades of “lazy millennials are destroying every single industry” to turn around and do this to Gen Z!!!

Welp… I was going to work in a cutscene in my JRPG hobby project, but my computer crashed 15 minutes into and I don’t feel like redoing that work today. So video games instead!

Sinclair is caving and bringing back Kimmel. Money, folks. Public pressure. They dont have the numbers. Remember this and increase the efforts.

Republicans have given cover to predators like Donald Trump, Matt Gaetz, & Jim Jordan for years. And now, it appears Elon Musk & Steve Bannon may be among them. Release the full Epstein files, call a hearing with survivors, and hold everyone involved accountable NOW.

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

After years of trying to get into #BlindGuardian and failing, I think I discovered the problem. Just because an album has Middle-Earth in the name doesn’t mean it’s the best starting point. Really digging Somewhere Far Beyond. #heavymetal #powermetal

@thespoonyone.bsky.social Random hello! Just wanted to say “thank you” for all the wonderful videos you made back in the day. My wife and I rewatch them periodically and have been for years. You really were the most talented of the folks doing that style of video. That’s all! Hope you’re doing well.

Rejiggering the #DND game plan I’ve been working on for three days less than two hours before game time due to unexpected player cancellations? Yeah. I can handle that! No big. (I actually have a really great idea I think I can pull off with minimal extra planning.)

This is brilliantly accurate, hahaha! Being a #GundamWing fan is an emotional rollercoaster. :D #Gundam #mecha

I’m a huge nerd and it supremely bums me out to think about all the content I’ll be losing access too, some of which you can’t find anywhere else than these streaming services, but free speech is more important. Get your act together #ABC, #Disney, etc.

I am not the biggest fan of Governor Phil Scott, but I’m thankful for this. I’ll be calling the pharmacy tomorrow to get my child her vaccine appointment. vtdigger.org/2025/09/18/d...

One thing I really regret is getting rid of my DVD box sets when streaming was becoming the “it” way to watch stuff. They took up so much space! Now I’m searching for the most affordable way to get them all back, because I’m just so sick of these services having a hold on what I watch.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

So after weeks of checking in about their annual booster clinic,our primary care office just confirmed that they can’t give my 9 year old asthmatic child a Covid booster and that it’s “up in the air” as to what’s going to happen. So yeah… thanks RFK Jr. And thank you #MAGA for all this endless BS.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

A friendly reminder that governments who are operating from a position of strength do not talk the way that the current American government talks.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

To think that this man could have been president...

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

I'm working from the lobby of an auto shop while I get an oil change. They have the news on and I'm watching Trump struggle to stay awake through 9/11 memorial service. The guy literally nodded off a moment ago. I can't even imagine who #MAGA would have reacted if other presidents had done that.

I’m not going to say it’s good Charlie Kirk is dead. I don’t think he was a good person. I don’t agree with anything he said or believed, but it’s also a dark moment in American history that this is where we’re at. Just like it was dark when 2 Democratic politicians were murdered in Minnesota.

Got my Covid-19 booster! Now here's hoping my doctor's office comes through on the booster clinic they've promised me they're doing since the pharmacies around here currently won't let me schedule Covid-19 booster shots for my kids.

Listening to some Turisas for the first time in a bit. Firstly, it makes me feel incredibly old to realize the Battle Metal album is more than twenty years old. Secondly, the song Battle Metal is still so much fun. #heavymetal #music www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWM2...

I’ve been trying to play some of the #RPGs I missed when I was younger. Illusion of Gaia is the latest, and I don’t think I’m going to be finishing it. #jrpg #snes

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

I think I'm finally giving up on #DragonQuest 3 HD-2D. It's a gorgeous game to look at with great music and some very fine qualities, but the pacing is just not my style. I'm a touch disappointed because I love good #JRPG and really dig the charm of a good DQ game.

Exactly! Lee was a traitor. Full stop. His (largely imaginary) reputation was created by Jim Crow segregationists long after his death.

Vaccines have been the foremost breakthrough in medical history Not of this year Not this decade Not this century Vaccines are the foremost medical breakthrough in history

My family and I just returned from a trip to Universal Studios and got to enjoy Super Nintendo Land! It was a really delightful place. If you have to pick between the Mario Kart ride and the Dinkey Kong Coaster, go DK. And don’t skip Toadstool Cafe! Delightful food with adorable presentation.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Conservative politicians, every single day, prove themselves to be the pettiest most disgusting people around. This crosswalk memorialized the brutal murder of 49 innocent people. www.cnn.com/2025/08/22/u...

Just finished a #retrogame I’ve been meaning to play for ages: Parasite Eve. What a fun weird little #JRPG this was! The modern setting felt very unique, it’s take on active-time combat was engaging and fun, and it was only TEN HOURS long. A refreshingly brief game that still felt full and complete.

I just finished reading the #book Morningstar by David Gemmell. I picked up a paperback copy for cheap at the library book sale earlier this summer, having previously really loved another of Gemmell’s #fantasy novel’s: Legend. www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Some musings inspired by the current state of terrible events.

🚨 D.C. — TRUMP IS PREPARING TO DEPLOY THE NATIONAL GUARD IN THE CITY 🚨 This is NOT about safety—it is an attack on the people living in D.C., especially Black and Brown communities. If you’re in D.C., there’s a rally tomorrow (8/11): 📍 815 16th St NW ⏰ 10 am Learn more at: bit.ly/free-dc-our-home

Delighted to receive these in the mail from @stevejacksongames.bsky.social today! Had a lot of fun playing through a copy of the first book with my daughter recently and was happy to back the Kickstarter back when it went up. #ttrpg #rpg

It looks like someone in the #Trump administration has gone and removed sections of the Constitution from some government websites. I've already called my representatives about it. I would suggest you do the same. The sections removed cover things like Habeas Corpus. www.reddit.com/r/law/commen...

I recently started playing Star Fox Command on my 3DS. I haven’t played it since I first bought a DS Lite ages ago. I just felt like some Star Fox and wanted to try something besides the usual replay of Star Fox 64. I remember being lukewarm on it, but I actually think it’s a pretty good game!

I have recently found myself needing more #dragons for my #DnD games. Actual dragon miniatures, unfortunately, tend to be on the expensive side. I recently discovered that Walmart sells a line of super cheap dragon toys. (Yes, I know they’re evil) #minipainting

Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue Stripe feeling the pressure ACLU put out a statement CBC covered all this What you are doing is WORKING You are getting RESULTS KEEP CALLING KEEP WRITING WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!

GOG once again demonstrating why they are one of the best places to buy digital games. I've admired their commitment to #retrogames and game preservations for years and this is certainly a good gesture and way to raise awareness. freedomtobuy.games

This made me laugh aloud.

Just had one of my #DnD campaign players tell me that they thinks I'm "right up there with Matt Mercer." While this is not a compliment I deserve, it still makes me feel pretty dang good about what I've been doing. Might have some extra pep to my step the rest of the day. #ttrpg
