I am simultaneously a Ducky and a Hornet

Like how Brundlefly was both a Seth Brundle and also a fly
Watching the Expanse, and the interview with the Belter on Ceres where he talks about his cat, Lucky Earther? Broke my goddamn heart.

"He's fat, and lazy, and I give him everything he asks for."

I immediately hunted down my cat to give him a big hug. He's my Lucky Earther.

Alan Wake 2.

I am constantly blown away by every single choice made in this game; it is not just Remedy's magnum opus (thus far lol) but a work which puts to shame the entire industry.

This is brave, a work which has something to say. I am endlessly in awe of this game.

I did a favour last week for a friend. He asked "how can I repay you?" as good people do and I said "Glenlivet 12" as a joke, I was happy to help because we're friends

He bought me a bottle of Glenlivet 12.

Shoulda asked for the 15...

It's really unsettling to hear Stephen Colbert absolutely mangle normal words when he otherwise has no discernible accent. What kind of monster pronounces ketchup that way?

Dad of Boy: Püberty is a fun game, despite the part where I had to kill a gigantic doggo

I hope Christopher Judge has good dental health after two games of gritting out every single line through furiously clenched teeth

So I downloaded Marvel Rivals and have been playing it the past few days

It's fine. It's a hero shooter like any other, only it's got a bunch of characters I already knew

Literally the licencing is the only reason people fuck with this game

A Cruel Angels Thesis is the song I always hum to myself whenever things get very stupid and stop making any sense

Like it replaced Yakety Sax many years ago, and I don't see an end to this reign

I sometimes reflect upon the easiest job in West Germany was being the eponymous Dschenghis Khan in said disco group

He didn't sing. He just hung out and danced with the actual band.

It's been a couple of years now, but to this day I find myself incapable of taking one of my supervisors seriously after he drunkenly cannonballed into a pool from the third storey of our hotel

How could I ever take his reprimands at face value after he nearly killed himself in a fit of booze? Smdh

The best part of any Anti-Chef video is Jamie reading a very clear step in the recipe, clearly not understanding it, then blazing on ahead anyway

he me

It's completely insane that the incoming President of the United States of America is saying he will use economic warfare to force my nation of Canada to bend the knee to him

What the fuck is this world we're trapped in?

Look. I know living in Quebec is a special kind of Hell

But being drowned in endless Peter Poilievre ads while watching YouTube is just too much. Nobody deserves to see that face and hear that voice this often. Not even his wife, and she married the gremlin

Having just watched Pumphrey's latest video about things he wished he'd known as a younger man, not only do I agree with and am inspired by it, but I'd also like to give my boi a fuckin' hug

I am continuously bewildered by services asking me for my current password to reset said password

If I knew it, I wouldn't be asking

Dae-ho's reaction to winning gonggi is so pure and innocent, I can't stop rewinding to see it again

Yo, the wrinkle in Squid Game 2 of a contestant who knows how it works is very fun. Red Light, Green Light is still a bloodbath but it's neat to see it organized. Gi-hun has clearly been running these games in his head for years whether he meant to or not

I'm playing House of Ashes, and given most of the player characters are USMC I got curious about edible crayons

They exist, obviously, but the ones made of chocolate are boring. I want the ones made of the same wax as edible survival candles so that I too may never forget Guadalcanal

The Dark Pictures Anthology is so much fun. Supermassive Games have dialed in this style of game so hard, and they always get like known actors to run around screaming in mocap rigs, it's very impressive

I really gotta play these with friends

Colour me surprised that DanDaDan isn't from Studio Trigger but Delicious in Dungeon is

Today in the Sims, Javier invited his mistress over while his wife was at work. After several WooHoos, the mistress died of old age and Javier tried to seduce Death into sparing her.

This did not work.

So Javier and Death watched TV and talked about their hobbies while Javier mourned his mistress.

Neel is the very best character in Skeleton Crew

Disagree if you choose, but that still doesn't make you right

Friday the 13th V gets a bad rap. Without that film being lousy, we'd never have gotten the Zombie Jason we know and flee from

If you at all like Jason Lives, the New Blood, Manhattan, JGtH, Jason X, etc, you owe a debt to Roy and his blue hockey mask

Anyone know the area between Tallahassee and Pensacola? I'm going to be down there in April, so I'd love suggestions of places to see, things to do (and places to avoid lol)

And food. I need to know the best local eats in the region
