I think my favorite part of that was learning that Jonah from Veep was the cameraman during auditions.

How does BG3 run on the Steam Deck? I have it for PS5 and I’ll be traveling this week; since it has cross-save, it might be worth picking it up for that price even though I’ll likely continue to mostly play it on PS.

I loved in the “How It Should Have Ended” video about that movie where Khan did the big “my name is KHAAAAAAN” reveal and Kirk just said “uh, hi! I’m Kirk, this is Spock, and this is Bones.”

I don’t know to what extent MCU fatigue is or is not a widespread thing, but it sure feels like it’s affecting me. Perhaps it’s because Endgame felt like a natural stopping (well, pausing or at least slowing down) point, but they more or less rolled right into the next phase full steam ahead.

There was a very good YouTube video about it, at least tangentially. Basically, it went from “you must use one of these two sealed-beam headlights” to the Wild West because regulations haven’t caught up with the technology.

I don’t post directly to social media much, so for me it’s more a matter of easily transferring screenshots to my computer. Xbox, at least, makes that easy with direct OneDrive integration; with my PS5, it’s always a multi-step process - either copy it to an external USB drive, physically move that drive, then copy it…

I’m convinced that Microsoft wants to get out of the console hardware business so that they can concentrate on GamePass. It really seems like, if they had their druthers, there won’t be a real Xbox console when the next generation rolls around. In that case, the choices would be a streaming device of some sort that…

Sony also ended Twitter integration on PS5 this year as it pivots social media sharing to the smartphone PS App.

[T]he network is finally trying to the show’s music rights so it can be released on streaming.

He’s still holding out for that Gerald Ford biopic.

It does help solve the Captain Kirk problem. Kirk as an admiral flying a desk isn’t a particularly compelling use of the character, so they had to figure out a way to make him the captain of a ship, usually (with the exception of STIV until the very end) the Enterprise for every TOS film.

I somehow managed to walk away from this 1982 K-Car with a nasty cut on my chin (from it hitting the steering wheel), an injured hand, and bruises from seatbelt. A few inches closer to the driver’s side, though, and I would’ve been very dead; the steering wheel was about 2" from my chest as it was.

I bought one (well, two actually, since I also put one in my studio) specifically to play with a group of people and then those people abandoned me. (womp womp)

Hopefully they’ll start building in licensing moving forward. It’s irritating that some games can’t be played via BC, even if you have the disc.

That’s long been my concern; it seems like one potential outcome is that where today you have the Series S as a more accessible, lower-powered option and the Series X for the full console experience, that will shift to some sort of streaming device bearing the Xbox name as the low-price option and if you want a more…

Save syncing isn’t PlayStation-dependent, is it? I only ask because BG3 has cross-save. Cross-play is a different matter, of course.

You can always get this piece of Dafoe-related apparel, from the fine folks at “How Did This Get Made?”:

Should’ve just watched Space Jam and saved some time.

Although this wouldn’t really work given that the character was a Shatner analogue, it would be hilarious to see Kline playing a very Kirk-like captain on the show but just being a thoughtful, kind, professional actor in real-life. Sort of like how he switched between President Mitchell and Dave Kovic in Dave, but…

Matt Baume’s most recent All in the Family video has some really great Lear stuff:
