There’s the infamous title of one of the prequels, too: 358/2 Days. When said aloud, it’s “Three Five Eight Days Over Two.” When you have to look up what even to call the games, you know this is one convoluted series.

Rex Musculus would be a great stage name for a gay porn star.

I’ve found that these games mostly make sense as you play them, but trying to explain them to someone else just makes you sound fucking nuts.

How Drifloon Got Their Groove Back!

Indeed, I’ve gotten the comparison a few times.

I guess one benefit of having waited until my 30s to sow my wild oats is that I feel pretty well-equipped to protect myself from STIs.

Honestly, doesn’t it feel like porn has brainwashed people into thinking that if it doesn’t include penetration, it’s not “real” sex or something? Ditto if there’s no orgasm. Of course, logically thinking, that’s complete nonsense.

This is the area to share entirely too much information about my sex life, right? So, in the past 6 months or so, I’ve really had the urge to just...completely whore it out. I’ve started rocking a mustache lately, and apparently a lot of gay dudes have latent Super Mario fantasies or something because I’ve been…

Holy cow, that sounds terrible. Stay warm out there. I shudder to think of anyone homeless who is in the polar vortex area right now.

Season 11 queen first impressions, kiddies?

The duet with Rosalía is great. I’m enjoying the whole album a lot.

Screw the Valentina haters, I read living for her this episode. Her runway was Rita Moreno on Sesame Street, and that lip synch was amazing. Naomi ruled the night, though.

Thine is not something I acknowledge. What’s mine is mine and what’s thine is ours.

I made chicos last week, which is a soup I’m not sure exists anywhere outside of New Mexico. Here’s a written summary of the dish: https://www.newmexico.org/nmmagazine/articles/post/little-big-corn/

I think so, Bart, but where are we gonna find rubber pants in our size?

Don’t worry, I got what you mean, though. The whole idea of nagging at the consumer’s insecurities about failing to live up to their gender’s expectations, and all they need to do is buy these artisanal shaving products to fix it! Especially when shopping is historically something considered more “feminine.”

Forgive me for this self-indulgent tangent, but I swear it has a point that ties into your question. One of the best things about my own past experiences, particularly when it comes to coming out as a gay man, as it forced me to really reexamine my own thoughts about sexuality, gender roles, stereotypes, etc. It’s…
