My thumb is getting tired from liking all the MAF content in my feed.

I don’t get impatient between videos and I don’t mind if they are shorter. The quality of the content is what matters, and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Having said that…the abundance of content lately has been fantastic!

Incredibly well stated.

I’m still on team Dubas, especially given the mess he inherited…but I really want to see signs that the team is embracing a real rebuild. Not keen on plugging up the depth chart with more aging veterans instead of pursing assets with potential upside for the future.

I do hear that … men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.

Ah, yes; the crossover of cat ownership and Costco membership.

My username is a reference to the film cartridge in the novel Infinite Jest. The film is a lethal entertainment so engrossing that is saps the will to do anything else until the viewer dies.

It’s a little reminder to me about keeping my relationship to social media healthy.

Eggers is probably referencing something specific there, but the general motif is so perfect for this film. The man never misses.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

I haven’t played the new, full release but this proof-of-concept was great.

You play within the perspective of a neurodivergent (schizophrenia?) Celtic warrior on a mission into the underworld. The use of audio “voices”as a gameplay mechanic is brilliant.

The Penguins clearly have a culture of sharing the puck. Haha

This post is extra funny to me because of the one that happened to appear right above it.

You’re just a little out of step.

The defense has been looking pretty vulnerable too. I know there are some injuries but yikes.
