Just finished Rosewater! I have to say @grundislav.games did a phenomenal job creating a story that actually felt like an adventure. The journey was stacked with lovable (and non-lovable) characters and a surprising story that spanned two countries. I guess it’s time to play Lamplight City!

“People who drive get clear streets soon after a snowstorm, but people who rely on walking and public transit still face a snow emergency for days,” said Harvey Miller, Director of the Center for Urban and Regional Analysis at OSU. MORE: columbusunderground.com/sidewalks-im...

This shit is exhausting. And what’s sad (and baffling) is that we all agree it’s exhausting and yet, we voted for it.

To say that this Tifo was massive is an understatement. The dedication to show up, sew, trace and paint every night for the last few weeks just goes to show why Columbus fans are the greatest fans the world has ever seen. Shoutout to our very own @john-zidar.bsky.social for this design!

It feels like the bad guys are winning…and that says more about us than it does about them…

Do NOT look at your 401k because MY GOD…

If you love coffee and helping local companies, this is an excellent way to do it! I’m definitely looking forward to this year’s samples.

The point of the story, "They came for the (blank) and I said nothing because I was not a (blank)," is not that you should fear that eventually they come for you. It's that you need to care and object that they're coming for anybody.

40+1(day) and my back hasn’t gone out yet…

@daviddewitt.bsky.social I so appreciate the work you and @ohiocapitaljournal.com are doing, but question…how the hell do you stay positive reporting on all this chaos? How about your staff? I ask this as a semi-former journalist.

I’ve been sucked back into Stardew Valley so hard that I’ve yet to continue playing new games. This is definitively my favorite game of all time, especially given the 2,000+ hours I’ve put into it since I bought it.

Now that we’ve entered into March, it’s time to start training for cycling. Going to use my indoor bike 3 times a week…

I was close, but unfortunately, I once again came in second in my predictions for the Academy Awards. @glennjamin.bsky.social takes first for the 3rd year in a row. Next year though…

I keep wondering what Pride parades look like in 2025. For a long time, I've said they needed to return to their roots as political organizing events, but even as our trans siblings have suffered, they continue to be parties. After dropping DEI programs, we still gonna let these big companies march?

Now that I’m finished with Alan Wake, I’m starting a shorter point-and-click game called Norco. So far, that art is beautiful.

And that's a wrap for Alan Wake (at least the first one)! Really enjoyed the story and gameplay. Reminded me a bit of playing Max Payne back in the day. Time to pick the next game...

The Brutalist is the first film I’ve seen with an intermission. And for good reason, it’s 3.5 hours long. Still, I wish more movies did this.

Meeting Pipa back in 2022!

Pipa is absolutely my favorite player to have graced the MLS. Having him come back as a coach for the Cappys is the best news I've heard all day. I've been meaning to catch a Crew 2 game, but this will likely result in me seeing a LOT of Crew 2 games. Glory to Columbus!

God, I need to get back to Jungle Jim's immediately!

Working in HR is exhausting. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone…

I can’t get the thought of moving to Chicago out of my head. What the hell is going on???

I’ve been watching Supermarket Sweep on Pluto TV and it always blows me away how many stay-at-home moms existed back 8 in the 90s. It’s crazy how quickly things can change…or maybe the 90s were just aeons ago…

Love is walking your dog in single digit temperatures...both positive and negative single digit temperatures.

Attempting to follow as many coaster/amusement park accounts as possible to avoid…everything else…

I need more tattoos…I think my leg is the next target. We’ll see how much this sucks…

I just want to fly somewhere warm and ride roller coasters again…

Had a great time hanging with my buddy, Tyler and seeing Life of Pi this weekend. Food is from The Place to Be

Scary games: Here is some ammo…you know…just in case you need it lol 😘

One of the gripes I hear about BSKY is that it's dwarfed by other social media platforms and I guess I just don't think that's a bad thing. What happened to enjoying smaller communities? Vine was never as big as its competitors and yet people loved the community. Maybe that's the benefit of BSKY.

Ohio, I’m running for Governor. I’ve spent my life listening to Ohioans, helping families, and solving problems. It’s time for leadership that gives power back to the people. Together, we can build the Ohio we all dream of. Join us: actonforgovernor.com/donate-launch

There's a lot of SciFi stories featuring AI as vital tools for the future. But there are also stories where humanity rejects AI because of the havoc it causes (and not even because it's evil). With how unrestricted AI is being implemented, it's not hard to imagine the latter being our future.

I’m currently resisting the urge to buy a plane ticket to literally anywhere warm where I can see the sun…

I went all of 2024 with catching Covid or the flu. Let’s do it again in 2025.

Next one up…Alan Wake…

Ryan’s mom gave us a Christmas tree this year and I just don’t want to take it down. More than any other holiday, Christmas fills me with so much nostalgia. I wish I could keep it up all year…

I just beat The Excavation of Hob's Barrow on Steam Deck! Loved the story, art design, voice acting, and overall experience. I do wish choices mattered in the game to the point where it affected the ending. Ah well, would recommend. store.steampowered.com/app/1182310/...

My resolutions this year: - Play more (shorter) indie games on the Steam Deck - Visit 4-5 new amusement parks. - Cycle 65 miles unsupported. - See 1-2 theatrical shows per quarter.

Merry Christmas!

This and 24-hours of A Christmas Story…

Oh, to be able to take a high speed train to Detroit instead of having to drive…

I finally got to try the egg nog the Columbus subreddit keeps talking about and I have to say, believe the hype! So absolutely rich, thick, and tasty (like the perfect man 🤣)

Our official statement on #Crew96 playing their regular season match vs Miami in Cleveland: www.gcgbag.com/news/2024/12...

Advocates condemned Ohio lawmakers for passing another anti-LGBTQ bill as the General Assembly wrapped up late Wednesday night, urging Gov. Mike DeWine to veto the legislation, though DeWine has indicated he will sign it.

Not sure why I never thought of this, but I’m combining regular eggs with egg whites for a larger breakfast with lower calories.

…the disgusting things I’d do for a Spice Girls reunion tour…

AMC sometimes hosts AMC Screen Unseen where you go into a screening of a never-before-seen film completely blind. I’m going to my first screening tonight. The only thing I know is the MPAA rating and the duration. Kind of pumped to be surprised, but I hope it’s not horror…

Donuts! I got too many! No one was there to stop me!
