In 2019, CW aired a Supernatural episode about a town where people were forcibly there to pretend to live as it was the 50s. it included a redheaded woman with witchlike powers as a main player. This was 2 years before Wandavision... #supernatural #wandavision #marvel

Is the State of Play a PlayStation thing or the new name of Jamaica due to a new executive order? #playstation #ps5

Completely agree with this. Terrible idea. Can't wait to play it in a few weeks
High-fidelity Monster Hunter was a bad idea. This is a franchise where sickos would either meet up in person or perform networking acrobatics to play together on a 3DS, and now they can't even get a consistent framerate on a $700 PC as the environment turns to mush.

Playing some Urban Champion for the podcast. Once in a while a cop will drive by and the fight breaks up and the characters act like nothing is going on. It's wild a black box game had a nonsequitor like this. Can anyone think of a similar set piece in another game this old? #nintendo #nes

I don't get it. Went into the off-season thinking we would shed salary and sign no one. We've done the opposite but nothing that really raises the bar. We could be shedding the extra salary and spending the rest to get an actual impact player...

I think we all had a random sports game that we put a ton of unwarranted hours into. Mine was World Series Baseball on Genesis. It wasn't bad but nothing special. My favorite team sure sucked in it though. #baseball #retrogaming #sega

I love Nintendo Power as much as the next but look how much text is unreadable or covered by other assets. Wish I could have added seaQuest to my IMDB though.

30 years ago this month, Nintendo Power dedicated their cover to Capcom's Mega Man X2 for for SNES! Plus, Kirby's Dream Course, ACM hits Game Boy with Donkey Kong Land, there's a contest where you can be an extra on SeaQuest DSV, and more! #magazines #retrogaming

Bentley Bear in 2025? It's truly wild that this exists.
Any Atari Karts fans out there? Just picked up this reproduction from Songbird. #Atari #Jaguar #DoTheMath

That might be the best win of the season for the wolves. Nice to see the home team close out a game once and to see Ant on another level. #wolves

Went to a book fair for the first time in decades. Same old posters and erasers, but hardly any regular chapter books. It's like 90% graphic novels now.

Not real exciting but when you are starving, a plain cracker will do.
Minnesota Twins in agreement with Harrison Bader @jonheyman.bsky.social on it.

Watching Supernatural and struggling with this Donna character. Haven't seen Hollywood use this much Minnesota cultural appropriation since the movie Fargo. #supernatural #minnesota #heavyaccent

I'm now here because I need to put my takes into the world. I can't stop. Speaking of, Can't Stop the board game is so good. Sure it's a gambling placebo but it takes place on a stop sign.
