I’ve got my birthday in a few weeks. I went a little crazy and asked for two days off, made a long weekend of it, probably going to be catching up on sleep, playing video games, arranging a remote board game session, and if I can find a beach or park or hiking trail that doesn’t have a jam-packed parking lot, I may…

Now I’m just imagining some red-hatted dunce logging into his own Roblox account using his own password and whispering into his crackly USA_MAGA_SPACE_FORCE Discord voice chat, “I’m in!”

Just a two-pound sausage log, wrapped in a tortilla

Dude, how badly did the real Dr Emilio Lizardo burn you in a past life that you have to keep creating an army of accounts with his username and avatar and posting transparently racist bad-faith arguments to try to make him look bad?

That quote actually appears when the game loads. Otherwise, it’s only loosely inspired by Lovecraft. There’s no real story in the game, but the platforming puzzles require transitioning between different layers of the level, with deeper layers being creepier and more decayed, darker, more tentacle-y. There are no…

Yeah, he 100% played Scott Pilgrim as George Michael Bluth, and after reading the graphic novels, I wonder why they didn’t go for a completely different flavor of socially awkward, oblivious man-child. Comic Scott has a sort easily deflated misplaced confidence, but Cera’s Scott just stares at his shoes and lets life…

This deserves both a star and a few words of praise. This is a phenomenal comment. Thank you for making me laugh today.

Bonus points for “posses”

I opted for the animated liquid gold profile upgrade. It is gaudy as hell and I am both proud of my Itchy and Scratchy Money purchase and glad that it expires after 30 days.

There’s a cute retro platformer called Eversion that slowly gets more Lovecraftian as you progress. In later levels, you start to die a whole lot more, so the “READY” messages at the start of each attempt start to feel like game over messages rather than transitions between levels.

Control’s one of those games I’m going to remember exists a couple months after I build a proper desktop PC, whenever that is. My laptop’s clearly underspecced for it, and the 5-word review I’ve been holding in my head since it came out (“like Metroid Prime, but better”) is positive enough, but nothing like the sort…

Non sequitur - Fandroid, if you’re reading this, I keep seeing your avatar when you star my replies, and I just want to say that I love Monster Prom and always appreciate seeing Yellow pop up in my notifications.

Double brownie points for Party Down. I love Uda Bengt.

Oh, thank god. Netflix keeps pushing me to go back through BoJack Horseman a third time, and it’s tempting, but now is not the time.

Oh my god, is it bee o’clock already?

It’s some kind of cave demon!

If it’s, say, Monday, people will sometimes get confused when I say “next Thursday” to mean Thursday next week. I’ve moved around a whole lot and am not sure if this is an issue of regional dialect, or if I grew up with a flawed understanding of what “next Thursday” means, or if people are being contrarian and…

It’s just like a regular breakfast sandwich, but instead of pig sausage, it’s not-sausage.

Oh man. Usually online recipes include one or two ingredients that I’m just not going to use after the one sprinkle I put in, or one ingredient that I don’t want to put the effort into finding locally.
