Aztec mythology is so cool and it's a shame more mesoamerican stuff isn't used in fantasy

I’m always baffled when someone says they’re not into history. It’s just so far outside of my worldview it’s just hard to understand. There’s SO much history, every corner of the globe for thousands of years, if you’re just focusing on written human history, and you’re not fascinated by *any* of it?

Reading ALXnow stories at Fox 5 makes me feel like Barbara Streisand at the end of The Way We Were.

Feel like I have time for maybe one more game before the baby comes. Thinking either Rogue Trader, Clair Obscur or God of War: Ragnarok

Finished CONTROL this past weekend. Absolutely incredible. Using telekinesis to rip chunks of concrete out of the wall, defend myself with them, and hurl them at enemies literally NEVER got old. I got giddy every time I launched myself into the air, floating around and hurling objects. What a blast

A good friend got me really into Jim Steinman earlier this year and not only is this album great, but I love the cheesy, painted fantasy art album cover

The machine spirits were angry tonight but quelled with proper benedictions. Hail the Omnissiah.

You should have seen the massive grin plastered across my face during this scene. Love Nightcrawler (third favorite X-Men character)

Finished last night. Absolutely loved it. Best X-Men adaptation by a mile and maybe Marvel’s best animated show (no offense Spectacular Spider-Man)
There’s a place in X-Men where there’s a famously devastating cataclysm and when one of the characters starts an episode with a cheery “let’s go to [place]” I spent the rest of the episode like this

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Finished watching the original X-Men animated show from the 90s last night and the last episode got me kind of emotional.
A human tries to assassinate Xavier and he’s badly injured. It sparks a mutant revolt around the world with them calling for Magneto to lead them.
He steps up and the X-Men-

My new work computers use Edge as the default browser and all the 'news' scrapes other sites into MSN. Silly question but does anyone know: how can they do that? Is this like a partnership with these sites, because it seems like this would massive impact site viewership

Juno MacGuff: I think I’m in love with you.
Paulie Bleeker: You mean as friends?
Juno MacGuff: No... I mean for real. ‘Cause you’re, like, the coolest person I’ve ever met, and you don’t even have to try, you know...
Paulie Bleeker: I try really hard, actually

Finished The Devil’s Chessboard this morning. Incredible. The first two thirds are a devastating profile at Allen Dulles and the early days of the CIA. The last third is a haunting look at the intrigue connecting the CIA to the Kennedy assassinations. Amazing read.

Had to work tonight so pulled out the Snake Plissken costume (ten years after I first got it). Had a big smile on my face when one of the crew leaned over and said “Take me with you, Snake”

I had a great childhood and I worry a lot about not being able to provide the same quality of life for my son, but I’m surrounded by moving boxes and watching a 90s cartoon so I don’t think all that much has changed

It's funny, the job this newsroom is reminding me most of is working at the comic shop. Most days it's insanely tense and busy from the moment I walk in until I'm finishing stuff up minutes after my shift 'ended'. Then Saturdays I'm begging for work because there's nothing to do.
