Starting this thread to catalog the media I've watched/played/read/listened to for 2025. I used to do this for movies and TV shows back at The Bad Place, so now I'd like to just put everything under one thread. Let's see how things turn out.
#Jee2025 so it's easy for me to find.

I wonder how this looks like for FFXVI, as there are more voiced female NPCs and quest givers, and the character who is specifically there to infodump is female.
But Jill being the sole female party member (AFAIK now) might not help much.

My daughter accidentally made a scathing commentary on today's society.

Doing some laundry at a coin-op (I needed the dryer). I admire this lady in front of me who has a remote office setup, complete with a big bag of chocolates.

Today's culinary adventure: making scallion pancakes/flatbread! Mostly because the vege seller at the market snuck in a few stalks of scallions into the pack, which was a nice surprise. But as someone who don't usually cook with scallion, it became a puzzle.

So my office building had either a fire drill or an actual fire (most likely the former, because there wasn't any apparent smoke or fire). Either way, my legs are now jellified from about 30 flights of stairs, my shirt is drenched with sweat, and I'm wishing I slept in with the rain.

A good morning to find that the Goo Goo Dolls performed at a Tiny Desk Concert recently.

Another rainy morning. I could've slept in a little, but I needed to be in the office anyway, so I drove out earlier to have noodles and a tall (plastic) glass of iced coffee.
Now I'm jittery and a little wet and very full.

Gonna repost this 🧵 a fair bit over the next few days because, as my friends have (rightly) pointed out, I am nowhere near shameless enough when it comes to promoting myself as a writer.

Sadly, I wasn't a Mad Cave Talent Search 2025 winner. (There's always next year!) In the meantime, if there are any comic editors out there looking for writers, I have two published stories that I'll be happy to share with you.

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

If Link's dialogue isn't just "Hyup!", "Hyaaattt!", and "Heeuuunngh!", I'm smashing all the pots in the producer's house.

It hasn't stopped raining all morning so I can't take my dog out to her walk. We're now both restless.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Really liked the Predator: Badlands soundtrack. Using Yautja language as part of the chanting, which has an electronic/techno quality to match their helmet voices, is pretty neat.

I had the ideal weekend, which was one part productive (running errands, buying groceries, fixing things, and fetching my mom) and one part being a gelatinous blob of laziness (watching movies, playing games, and idly scratching my dog while zoning out to nothing).
