This video essay encapsulates one of the things I liked the most about the new Superman movie.

Great watch, great film.

Sad news for film buffs. The Criterion Closet tipped over with Paul Giamatti inside. He’s currently on life support. Doctors are hopeful he’ll pull through but it’s touch and go

i honestly believe these people should be detained somewhere. like not PRISON, but somewhere they can a) get the help they need and b) be kept the fuck away from the rest of us
I don't think I'd sleep very soundly knowing this was possible

I was one of those kids that grew up with the Dark Forces series, and specifically played the hell out of DF2: Jedi Knight. To me, Kyle Katarn is as essential to the Star Wars mythos as Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, or Han Solo are.

A reminder that Jedi Knight is peak SW:

Managed to snag a Switch 2.

Pro: It's exactly what you want it to be, a more powerful and feature rich Switch

Con: Virtual Game Cards are somehow WORSE than we all feared.

This is maybe one of the best video essays / analysis videos I've ever seen.

It's about a topic I didn't even know that much about to begin with, but winds up being an INCREDIBLE piece about creativity and the differences between art and cynicism.

Going to try to get back into Content Creation. That means some more Twitch Streams soon! Maybe also more podcasts?

Will try to drop a line here when I'm planning on going live again. Also - going to try to use "Blue Sky" to talk about the stuff I'm making.

People at parties: "What TV are you watching?" "Did you see the game last night?"

Me: "Do you know why CRT shaders are important in retro gaming?"

This is a fantastic video.

I miss Destiny. I miss not being able to get enough of it. Even if it's probably better for me if I don't play anymore.

Watching Star Trek: Voyager again, I still can't forgive the Star Trek: Picard team for the way they killed Icheb.

Such a horrifying, awful, needlessly gory end to a wonderful character.

Icheb deserved so much better.
