ah here comes that son of a gun that cat that Garfield that gigantic thing

Our planet is buried in convenient shit. Bad but easy food. Bad but easy art. Bad but easy narratives, followed by bad but easy conclusions. Prioritizing convenience disincentivizes the slow work of contemplation. Perhaps, even, of questioning. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/cheap-fast...

Where's Konami been hiding ROBESPIERRE.

I would eat the 1970s adult baby food

had a younger associate ask me how I "had so much rizz" with a popular wrestler who was incognito at a PAX and it was because she and I became friends unloading trucks & building rings a decade prior

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

one thing i miss about working in travel is when i'd get half a day to myself on property visits & get to explore the non-as touristy areas. Pepper n Spice ox tail bangs and the Boom Boom Room isn't too far if you want to get into some dicey money matches of billiards

Cutting through Passyunk on my bike after last call & two drunk guys in line at Genos were jaw jacking. One guy barks out "YOUR MOTHER MAKES SHIT GRAVY!" which got everyone in both Pat's and Geno's lines as well as everyone coming out of the bars to stop & go "Oooooooooooooooooooooh~!"

Very classy of my bookie to send me a Holiday card after crushing my knee caps with a piece of garden hose duct taped on both ends & filled with BBs

maybe stop buying $3000 ugly leather jackets every week, pal

Really happy to see "Sorry We're Closed" get it's deserved recognition. Working with CB and Tom on it was a point of pride with that publisher & I look forward to their future projects.

Our parents got us an NES in 1985 & after checking an inflation calculator the purchase today is the equivalent of $1300, with Super Mario Bros. the following Spring being around $180 & good god its no wonder we typically got 1 game a year.

My shoulders & chest are now too wide for all of my professional blazers & sport coats so 2026 going to go all in & get "40ish comedic character actor casted in a Marvel movie" jacked

Caught up on Fallout & I would enjoy seeing Danny Trejo, Michael Dorn, Wayne Newton, James Urbaniak, Lynda Carter, & Wil Wheaton reprise their characters since they'd technically still be around. Felicia Day & Zach Levi's characters feel faction/ending specific though.

LRT fellas go find a local tailor & get your favorite pair of jeans altered to specifically fit your body its easy

true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

Well, that's nice. 🥰

We don’t hear much about the West Pole, where Cowboy Santa lives. Probably because of all the people he’s shot

Fat Lola has decided the catnip taco is her favorite Christmas present

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

it is wild to anyone who was a hard-core PC gamer in 1996 when we realize that NVIDIA is now one of the pillars the entire world economy rests upon.

a friend is an ASMR content creator who recently asked me for recommendations of shows where the protagonist deals with anxiety so i recommended The Chair Company & judging by our group chat I think it broke her

• Super Mario Bros. 2: Mario Madness • LJN's The Punisher (i didn't know this game existed & my Dad got it for me knowing how much we both enjoyed rail shooters like Operation Wolf)

finally, respect for this perfectly cromulent game

i have zero tattoos but this is making me consider getting my first

Rose Anvil and Trenton & Heath have to be licking their chops right now

Blippo+ blindsided me this year and i'm looking forward to whatever this creative team does in the future, regardless of medium and genre.

Learned an old pal from my DJ days was killed in a hit and run while cycling. Rest in Peace, June. www.audacy.com/kywnewsradio...

i have roadmapped end-to-end, multi-channel, data driven comprehensive national ad campaigns and marketing roadmaps for e-commerce companies without leveraging genAI because it didn't exist yet.

Italian Prog Rock x No Man's Sky: an unbeatable combo

Probably because he was on a poster of ‘great Irish writers’ in my English classroom I always presumed that Samuel Beckett was an old timey guy like Oscar Wilde and WB Yeats but no he was knocking around in the 80s driving Andre the Giant around and listening to House music

Playing co-op Dead Island 2 with a fresh character along with @anacrusisnt.bsky.social & i forgot how much of a fun big budget popcorn game the first act is.

YT just said "would you like to watch this short form portrait video of an asian man who dresses like you do every day in the same jacket you own" and i appreciate that youtube.com/shorts/VOMmc...

I was a producer on this it was an absolutely delightful team to work with, despite being cursed with a foul miasma for reminding a desiccated, undead eldritch being to update his Jira tickets.
