Alright, let’s do this. For the sake of variety, these won’t necessarily be my all time favorite tracks, but they will be interesting ones I want to highlight. I’m playing on Hard Mode (no repeat games)!

When I was 12, I caught Iria: Zeiram the Animation on the Sci-Fi Channel’s Saturday anime block. To this day, I still don’t think I’ve seen a piece of media that inspired me creatively on this level since.

40 years ago today, Calvin and Hobbes made its debut in newspapers. It has shaped my life, my sense of humor, my artistic sensibilities, my tastes, my beliefs (especially in regards to artistic integrity), what I look for in a friend, and who I am as a person more so than any other work of fiction.

This whole thread is a treasure trove of cool artifacts that are both great TTRPG and world building inspiration, and just plain cool historical oddities in their own right.

If I didn’t already have my copy, I’d jump on this. It’s big and unwieldily (I actually prefer reading the smaller C&H collections most of the time), but it’s glorious nonetheless. I took a bus to a neighboring city to a half price books that was having a sale about a decade ago to get mine.

Excellent news! It shouldn’t have been this close, but I’ll take it. Hopefully this stays this way and Katie Wilson is the next Mayor of Seattle. If you live in Seattle, CHECK YOUR BALLOT online to make sure it was counted properly. 🗳️

Friends, why do you crave the Harry Potter in the Fort Night when you could just play Darkened Skye for Gamecube. Consider:
- Also third person
- Also features magic
- Also has weird brand synergy
- Not propping up the world's most notorious transphobe
- You get to use a Gamecube controller (rad)

Make no mistake about it: This administration is trying to take away your ability to protest their new secret police force and even stand next to those who do so, and they are abusing the legal system to do so.

I’ll never forget the time I showed Baby Pac-Man to a longtime friend when we were at a local barcade, and he described it as “a Kafkaesque nightmare”.

Zohran Mamdani's promises of free busses might sound great, but I live in Albuquerque NM where city busses have been free for five years and I'm here to tell you the truth. This is what every bus in my city looks like now. Think carefully about your choice this November.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”
