This whole "going through a midlife crisis" thing as I am literally about to turn 40 in a week is kinda harshing my buzz, not gonna lie.

Hopefully you have a good security system.

I wonder what it says about me and my musical tastes that I mostly grew up in the 90s/00s and yet if you were to ask me my musical "decade" choice I'd have to tell you I'd listen to 80s over most things.

You and Gary have always come across as just being yourselves, and if you ever did "push an agenda" it was always things like "support striking workers" and "help out other people because that's what people should fucking do". It's refreshing to hear people not trying to please corpo donors nonstop.

The premise of the video sounds ridiculous -- and it is, Cody will admit to it -- but it's such a weird alternate history scenario that I thought it was stupidly fascinating

However, I do feel old as hell because I know these are like... Gen V or something starters and I immediately had to look up "Who is the best starter?" because lol my ass mained bulbasaur in Gen 1 and that shit was painful as a kid who didn't understand RPGs.

I picked up Pokemon ZA and just started it. Now, I haven't seriously played a Pokemon game since... Red. I spent an entire summer playing red and blue with my buddy, and nothing has captured that high. ZA, in like 20 minutes, has captured what my brain always said MMO Pokemon would be. Wild stuff.

I have been so incredibly depressed lately. I'm taking my meds, but nothing brings me joy for the most part, and when it comes time for dinner every night **nothing** sounds good, which leads to me not eating, which is saving me money but you know, nearly passing out from lack of eating isn't good

@cmet.bsky.social I just want you to know that you have what might be my favorite webcomic running right now, and I look forward to seeing what the brigade is up to weekly. This Becket and Klara stuff is killing me, though -- every time they're together I am just going "NOW KISS". So, thank you. :)

This isn't me being snarky, I'm actually curious if it's a huge undertaking or if it's just something they haven't considered messing with. It's a shame because I have so many ghost shells I'm never going to use because I don't want to dump resources into a bunch because I'm hyperfixating that day

So I'm looking through the roadmap for Destiny 2 and I noticed that they're doing universal slot exotic ornaments, which is rad. But it makes me wonder -- what is the difference in systems between that and just making Ghost Shells custom appearances?

With my birthday coming up, I might pick up Pokemon Legends: Z-A. I know I have had gaming paralysis lately, but I haven't played a good pokemon game in a long, long time.
