I mostly ramble about trivial nerd stuff, but I'm also on a Bluesky list for "angry politics." My politics are that bigots should fall into a deep, empty well. He/Him.

On the more modern side, the Uncharted series. Also, basically point and click adventure game I've ever had a fondness for.
Two panel comic. We see the legs of someone standing in front of a headstone that reads "Games I've already beaten a dozen times." The person is then revealed, holding a shovel. On their chest is written, "Me."

The Castlevania 2 "What a terrible night to have a curse" screen, but it says "Hello Simon, I hope this email finds you cursed."

If you see this, quote with a vampire that isn't Dracula.

And for extra points for me, not from Legacy of Kain, because that's also my main thang
Dracula from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, who is - spoilers for a 15 year old game - Gabriel Belmont, the protagonist of the first Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Long black hair, ash white skin, red eyes, and a very open red jacket showing off that chest.

So, I stumble upon an intriguing game trailer on YouTube. The concept seems interesting and even timely. It turns out it runs on voice command. Potentially cool, but also raises some flags. Go to Steam to check and, yeah 😑

Just one year too old to match up with my actual first console mascot (soon to be usurped by Sonic)
Alex Kidd in Miracle World, a 1986 platformer that came integrated in first gen Sega Master System consoles.

If you see this QRP with a game that released the year you were born

Ironically, I was a Sega kid...

Peter Thiel, a fascist oligarch who rambles about Monkey D. Luffy being Jesus Saint Charlos, a fascist oligarch in One Piece. Take away the weird hairdo, and the resemblance is uncanny.

Also, style-wise, a lot of overlap with Penny Dreadful's version
Rory Kinnear as Frankenstein's Monster in the show Penny Dreadful. Deathly pale face with a scar curving around the edge. Long, wet-looking hair. Dressed in a dark long coat. You can't see that the coat is long here, so you'll have to trust me on that one.

Oh no
A snip with my particular freeze frame of the quicky-switchy-text video, and I drew "The one nobody likes."

A panel from the Wondermark comic that formed the basis for the term "sealioning". The sealion is bugging a lady by asking incessant questions, but I've swapped the original text out with skeets from the dude mentioned in previous skeets.

The Farscape Fashion Pipeline
Main character John Crichton in a baggy tan jacket with a wooly collar from his space agency, and a white t-shirt underneath. John Crichton in a black leather trenchcoat, black-and-dark-red striped leather vest, black t-shirt and black pants made of, you guessed it, leather.

Very tangential sidenote: Funnily enough, one of the few American SciFi TV shows *not* filmed in Canada, but rather in Australia. Which will give you fun moments like seeing Ben Mendelsohn's name pop up in an episode's guest star credits and thinking "Wait, what, where?"
A dopey-looking blue-skinned humanoid alien long, but receding white hair, red eyes and big ol' ears. Somewhere behind the make-up is Krennic from Rogue One.

I see ONE (1) Farscape post and my brain has just latched on. I don't have time to rewatch four 22 episode seasons and a miniseries, but damn if I don't want to.

Also: Damn GIF-able show

New movie haul
12 new blu-rays: Blade Trilogy, Dragonslayer, Galaxy Quest, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Martian, The Nice Guys, the modern Planet of the Apes trilogy, Prey, The Raid 2, The Rocketeer, Sinners, and Sneakers. The last one isn't immediately obvious if you haven't watched - it's in a white sleeve with scrabble letters that spell out "NO MORE SECRETS". It's a whole thing - watch Sneakers if you haven't, it's great!

"AI will boost productivity"
3 panels of two characters from Arrested Development. The exchange goes: Person 1: Well, did it work for those people? Person 2: No, it never does. I mean, these people somebow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... Person 2, continued: but it might work for us.

"Is it okay to cut off fascist relatives?"
B.J. Blazkowicz, the protagonist of Wolfenstein, with a bloodstained face and evil smile. He cut off his dad for being Nazi. So to speak.

MachineGames has always been great at portraying Nazis for exactly what they are, but Viktor Gantz is truly the perfect distillation. Laughable, bloviating, pathetic - but also fanatically devoted to hatred and genuinely dangerous.

I mean, say what you want about the actual sentiment, but this is marvelous proof that you really can curate your feed, because, buddy...
A screenshot of a quote skeet in which the quoted skeet features a screenshot of a quote tweet. So, from the inside out: On Twitter, Tim Urban says "Every post on Bluesky is celebrating the assassination. Such unbelievably sick people." Still on Twitter, Thomas Chatterton Williams quotes and adds "It is unconscionable." Now on Bluesky, Caitlin M. Green screenshots and says "They just decide what they think we're like and proceed as though." And finally, a person, whose name I've hidden, says "My feed is almost entirely people condemning violence and telling others not to celebrate this."

Sometimes, I will randomly remember that this was an email that was actually sent, in all seriousness. And it's probably not even that unique.
A leaked email, dated 2013-11-07, from someone named Nick Shore to Amy Pascal, the then Chairwoman of the Motion Pictures Group at Sony. The subject line says "Spidey thought". Email reads: Spidey thought Hey Amy - just a couple of rando thoughts from 35,000 LAX-JFK: - A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post "N.B.D." on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the "humble brag".....wondering if Spidey could get into that in some way....he's super athletic, bendy, strong, intense....and it's all NBD to him, of course. - EDM (electronic dance music) is the defining music for Millennials. Wondering if there's an EDM angle somewhere with Spidey? His movements are beautiful, would be awesome with a killer DJ behind it - Snapchat just launched a "story" functionality, which is sort of "day in the life of me" told in a series of snapchats that expire after 24 hours. It has a very VIP quality about it, since invitation only. Getting invited into Spidey's Snapchat circle would be huge, and very buzzworthy and cool. Also on American Hustle, I was thinking (and it may be way too late for this), it would be awesome to get all the cool fashion brands to do a huge 70s style collab.....Urban Outfitters, Free People, American Apparel etc. They're sort of leaning 70's already, Macklemore hitting it a bit with Thrift Shop style etc. Would be interesting for Am Hustle to be the name behind that. Hope not too random! N

A still from The Simpsons episode "Bart Gets Hit By a Car", featuring a hand holding a newspaper ad for Lionel Hutz, Esquire. The text beneath has been altered from the original, and says "Don't kill billionaires" on the top line and "No benefit to society" on the bottom line, no punctuation in either sentence. There is definitely no joke relating to punctuation in this episode, and if you don't know the meme you definitely shouldn't look it up.
