How long is the Epic exclusivity for Outer Wilds gonna be? I’ve tried searching for dates, but found nothing even suggesting a timetable.

Grind is the absolute worst, making this current moment of rogue-lite frustrating in the same way it must be for people who hate IPAs. There are few bigger letdowns in gaming for me than seeing a cool new action/adventure title with lots of promise then scrolling down and seeing “rogue-lite” (cough Void Bastards cough)…

Mule Variations came out through Epitaph when I was 19 and in the middle of my ska/punk phase. Bought it out of curiosity and ended up becoming a huge Waits nerd. Rain Dogs is still probably my favorite. Had a shop in the back of the hangar at my first aviation job and my boss was cool with me making weird percussion…

Nice. Definitely gonna give it a try. Also, thanks for reminding me of a classic. I’ve got Jockey Full of Bourbon playing loud in my office now. 

I too am an old guy. I’m not much for online gaming, but I’m honestly intrigued by the Save the World single player campaign. Might actually give it a try.

In spite of obvious caveats for both Epic and online gaming in general, this seems pretty cool. Fortnight seems to be much better suited to being passive entertainment than than Overwatch. It helps that when I see a Fortnight clip I can understand what’s happening on-screen and also not have a seizure. 

True, except for they need more Richard Kind. The adversarial struggle with scallops in the first season was great.

I enjoyed the first season, but couldn’t make it through the second. Needs like three fewer Kroll characters and less Mantzoukas. They’re both decently funny dudes in the correct dosages. Just too much here. Whenever they’re all in it ends up feeling like a shitty early aughts Comedy Central show.

I’ll eat almost any garbage pizza, but I avoid Pizza Hut because once it cools it’s terrifyingly bad. How they manage to get that much grease into the dough is beyond me. And once it congeals it’s like biting into a breadstick you found in your shower drain. 

This tweet never fails. 

Wait what? He’s never released a straight up album before this? The mixtape scene is cool and there’s nothing wrong with it. I’m just amazed at this detail.

CORRECT. I can buy the tupperware thing to put my cereal in and buy traps an such for mice/rats. Roaches will eat the fucking caulk around the sink and then fly DIRECTLY AT YOU. They are fecund demons that feast on any chill moment you try to have if you’re within 200 yards of them.

NO ROACH OR BEETLE OF ANY KIND SHOULD BE ABLE TO FLY. In my mind I can hear that disgusting end-of-the-world chitinous sound of them clicking against a window and my skin wants to rip itself from my body and crawl to the moon. I’m lucky to live on the fourth floor, but the fuckers still hit the windows sometimes…

The first and only time I tried playing a full on open-to-randos online game was Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. It was filled with the worst people and so hacked that I abandoned the idea permanently. In the years since, it appears the only thing I’ve missed is more of that and maybe having a seizure from trying to…

Asahi is soooo good! I’d have picked Dos Equis too. Perfect summer beer.

Fuck, I forgot about the galactically mediocre Timothy Chalamet. Good god. ALWAYS THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON SURVIVES.

Me, watching that goofy ass single season of Pan Am: Damn, this Kelli Garner’s great. I really hope she gets a career boost from this instead of that dork that plays her sister.

Good god kill me. 

Can’t wait to read a bunch of Buzzfeed blogs about the subtle empowerment of some fictional vampire class dumbass as the non-fictional ones build new decks from the bones of the homeless.

I’m currently nude and red and whipping a stupid Final Fantasy sword around in a gas station, defending the wine.
