We'll never defeat our real enemies while we're at each other's throats. Even villains believe they're righteous.

Most of my posts these days are stories about my kid and Star Trek shows I'm watching... Hope y'all are good with that but I try to change it up and make it fun.
I have so many fond memories of this device and I still mourn that I had to give mine up to pay bills back in the day. The recent ports are nice, but the overall experience with the actual device can never truly be replicated.
A year ago, I kicked off a long-term project to cover the Neo Geo Pocket / Color library. And now! You can freely watch my first NGP video at my YouTube channel.
(Patrons, I'm aiming to have episode 7 completed this month, wrapping the monochrome library)

I participated in the latest closed beta for Marvel Tokon and the one thing that sticks with me is that the tutorial announcer is like watching the first minute of this bit:

It seems every couple of weeks, some critter comes to visit me outside my warehouse door. This week was a rat snake I named Speedbump, cuz that's what he almost was. He was full of sass and not interested in my bullshit. (Got my first snake bite!)

Though the real life story is dubious, I remember this being pretty entertaining TV. I'd be hard to make something like it now, post-Big Bang Theory, I guess... Plus, what used to be outcast nerd culture has just become mainstream pop culture, so a dork dating a hottie isn't that far-fetched.
Densha Otoko, 20 Years Later: Why the TV Drama is Still Great in an Ever-Changing Otaku Landscape: Kaylyn Saucedo, explores Densha Otoko, with a focus on the TV drama. She examines the work and why it remains a valuable work within the greater otaku subculture today.
Densha Otoko, 20 Years Later: Why the TV Drama is Still Great in an Ever-Changing Otaku Landscape
Twenty years later, the TV drama adaptation of Densha Otoko remains undefeated in the realm of Japanese drama shows. It’s a wonderful depiction of real anime otaku and their interests that manages to humanize geeks and nerds for normies who might not always understand where we’re coming from and builds a realistic, meaningful love story fueled by the power of pure camaraderie and friendship.

Dammit... They say don't judge a book by its cover and I found that true of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Dog of War. Everything suggested I'd get a corgi Borg, but that NEVER happens. In fact, NO dog Borg as the cover suggests. 😡

they couldn’t do “trek or treat?” or does that binary imply that “trek” is not the treat, so they went with this instead

Whomever pitched the idea to streaming apps to play ads whenever I simply pause what I'm watching... I will spit in your face if ever I meet you. No joke here. Hope you never meet me.

Kinda like how recycling works in the USA... Those in power COULD be forced to cease producing such materials, but instead they've passed the buck to us to "properly dispose" of it. Reality is, we have the power to make them not use them in the first place.
So...maybe quit acting like Nazis?

I have plenty of gameplay reasons why I love playing as Rogue... Fitst, she is similar in range as my big main, Cammy; especially in long-legged kicks. But also she can "fly" and her kiss is not only unblockable, but mixes things up; giving my foe a taste of their own medicine.
Got to meet Lenore Zann this past weekend! Rogue is my main in the Vs. games, so her voice has a permanent residence in my ears. Hard to see, but she signed the controls of my MvsC2 arcade cab, "Good night, Suga! Lenore Zann aka Rogue". 🤩

Broadcast TV--and even cable TV--is basically dying already. Kimmel and Colbert will likely do what everyone else has done and go independent via YouTube and/or podcasting. It's easy for the government to break down mainstream media now, but these voices have the means/power to reach their audience.
Kimmel is off the air for these exact words: "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to desperately categorize this kid who murdered Charlier Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing anything they can to score political points from it." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Totally worth it! I paid full price for digital when it first came out. My only regret is that I didn't wait a bit longer to buy the physical release. (You could say...lingering regret.)

I'm gonna be honest... I liked Kpop Demon Hunters. I liked it a lot! But I think it needed at least 20min more movie than they were willing to make for it to be truly GREAT. What matters most overall, I think, is that the soundtrack fucking slaps.

Though, unlike most beach towns we've been to like Myrtle Beach, we expected a high MAGA presence, but were impressed how minimized that is in that area. More often we'd see things like this...

Had a hell of a time vacationing at Dollywood last week! Easily in our top 5 theme parks we've visited. The surrounding area was like the mountain towns we've already visited mixed with the tourist traps of Myrtle Beach.
