Survived the arrival of St. Nicholas (Sinterklaas) since our daughter is old enough to start understanding the celebration a bit. Sinterklaas wanted to give her a hand, but she was way too shy. She did enjoy several handfuls of "kruidnoten". All in all, quite fun. I do need to relearn the songs. 😅

The Offspring European Tour 2025 + Simple Plan.

Part 3: Simple Plan - Perfect

Filmed all of Perfect as a special request. Beautiful song.

🎵Hey, dad, look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?🎵

#DendensMusicDen. Day 131. I've grown to appreciate Barbra Streisand as an actress and as a singer since I've seen and heard more of her besides her (admittedly hilarious) role in Meet The Fockers. One Voice is phenomenal. It's not usually my kind of music, but her voice is so beautiful. #MusicSky

Friendly Reminder:
Every movie ever made has people who love it & people who hate it.

If you hate a movie, you're free to express that however you want on your timeline.

But don't shit on other people's positive posts. Personal opinions are just that...personal. Not right. Not wrong.

If you see this, QTP with a sequel that really hits!

Freakier Friday was a pretty good sequel. Jokes were easy and safe a lot of the time. But the performances, especially in the final act, made it funny and surprisingly heartfelt. Jamie Lee Curtis in particular was excellent. Other fans of the the 2003 movie will probably enjoy it as well. #MovieSky

229. Ratchet & Clank (2016)
230. Shadowrun Returns
231. Rollercoaster Tycoon 3
232. Warlords Battlecry II

Warlords Battlecry II was good for quite a few fun hours with friends back in the day, but like Submarine Titans, (1/6)

Thank you so much, my sweetest @paulinewrites.bsky.social. I can't wait to dive into the first issue of A Profound Waste of Time, especially the article with Ashly Burch reflecting on her perfomance as Chloe in Life Is Strange. #GameSky #PhysicalMedia #BookSky #AProfoundWasteOfTime #LifeIsStrange

Done with my first three hours or so of the Appendices, Part 7: A Long-Expected Journey (part 1). It brings me back to the obsession I had for Peter Jackson's King Kong, and nothing changed since then. I just love watching the filmmaking process of movies I adore. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #TheHobbit

Random Game of the Day

Day 301 - Psychonauts

One of the best 3D platformer collect-a-thons of all time. Almost everything about this game is perfect (not a fan of the final level). The music, the characters, the level designs. Even how they made so many psychological terms understandable (cont)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 130. Hyde Park on Hudson. Bill Murray shines as Franklin D. Roosevelt in a charming movie centered around the weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of England visited the U.S. while trouble was brewing in Europe.

In a stage of his career where (1/8)

No one has dominion over what games/franchises you choose to be a fan of.

- Plays a game for thousands of hours for years.
- Watches a Let's Play video of the same game.

Both of these can be fans of the same game for their own reasons.

HOW they found appreciation in it is personal—and valid.

Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do with your free time.

Play whatever you want. 🎮
Read whatever Book you want. 📖

Or Draw/Paint whatever YOU want. 🎨

Any of those are not a waste of time or talent. 💖

233. Downfall
234. Oddworld: Munch’s Odyssee
235. Rival Schools: United By Fate
236. Grand Theft Auto 2

The only 2D GTA I remember fondly enough to give it a ranking, and it’s fairly high and stays that way. (1/6)

Bonus content will take a few months to watch, but it's so satisfying to see what incredible amount of work went into making The Hobbit and TLotR. Now reached Rivendell in the first Hobbit, and it's a joy watching McKellen, Weaving and Blanchett prepare their scene like it's a theater production.

#DendensGamingDen. Playstation 2024 purchase 126. Re-Volt. I used to play this quite a lot, even though I hardly remember much of it. Playing it again now felt good, however. (1/2)

That Steam Machine looks like a level of immersion only hinted at in peak cinema once before in the '90s.

I can't help but imagine Gabe Newell like this as soon as the first machine is plugged in.

Happy Birthday (11/12) Ryan Gosling

To celebrate, I'm going to reignite my beef that BLADE RUNNER 2049 (2017) was never given the respect due. Denis Villeneuve's film is visionary masterpiece & deserves as much (if not more) love that his subsequent DUNE saga.

#DendensMusicDen. Day 130. Despite starting with the most overplayed and possibly a tad overrated Give A Little Bit, Even in the Quietest Moments...continues the hot streak of creative and commercial success Supertramp had in the '70s, including one of my favourite songs ever: #MusicSky #Supertramp
