I try to keep my view to myself, for whatever reason. But I need to scream into the void today.

After 9/11, a lot of my friends were sent to war. Not all of them came home, and of those that did, it wasn't the same person.

Hearing the drum of war again is so frustrating.

The, "I stayed up too late playing Mario Kart World," Switch 2 Review:

Exactly what you'd expect from something called a Switch 2. I'm upgrading after buying the SwOne on day one, and yeah. I think after eight? years it's a worthwhile upgrade (he says with his Dreamcast still hooked up.)

This project feels like a wonderful idea. Warms the lump of coal I call a heart.

Is using Figma to design an OPL theme overkill? Probably.

Is it still rad AF? Probably.

Is Social Media Doing You Dirty? Apply the CUE Test.
