Some of that is just going to be classic Reagan era paranoia.

Not really close to any of my neighbors, as I live in an older neighborhood. The few younger people who live here are not people I would want to associate with either. There have been more than a few gatherings at houses around here.

Ive never been a big fan of MST3K or Rifftrax or anything similar. I’ve never had anything against them or what they do, its just never clicked for me. And that's despite it being the progenitor of the Let's Play format.

And we have reached the beginning of Sword Art Online.

I went out to the store last night, leaving my house for the first time in a week. It was alright, but i couldnt enjoy it too much because i was still mentally plugged into work

Still miss the nightly show.

I have been burning the candle at both ends this week, and just really feeling the looming sense of dread. But the weekend is time for some self care. I’m up to the sidequests in Chrono Trigger, then the boss fight with Lavos. Also got Astral Chain, I’m on Case 8. Gotta push some cars around there. I am really feeling…

I’m not a huge podcast person either, but I do have some I want to plug!

It sounds like you have a palace of a New York apartment Riley.

It's hot garbage, and its explosive growth shows just how deeply caught the business world was with it's pants around it's ankles that so many people pivoted to a basically free to use video platform. It's just about as bad, if not worse, than pivoting to video based on shitty Facebook video analytics.

Hard to believe that so many people like Civ5 so much, because that game got shit on so hard for hexes and a lack of unit stacking.

a tip we got from one of our friends was to make a dedicated cat space the tallest thing in the room. We got him a cat tree that is 6ft tall and have not had a lot of problems with him trying to get on places. I also made sure to use velcro command strips to attach things like lamps and decorations to shelves and…

I dusted the room that I moved my office into the other week, but I need to dust in here again today. I’m going to set up my air filter from my workshop and point it out the window to try and help with that while I dust. The cat loves coming in here now, so hopefully the air filter will help with some of that cat hair.

Before the cat gets on the table: “Oh yeah, he’s not going to be able to knock that heavy crock over. He only weighs 12 lbs.”

The unit is half as wide and deep as it is tall, so yes

I went from a Charge HR to a Charge 3, and loved the upgrade. I’m the wierdo who doesn’t want the extra bullshit notifications. I think they are a distraction (especially when driving) and aren’t really needed. All I really wanted out of the Charge HR as an improvement was waterproofing, and they gave that. I also…

i can appreciate that they changed up the direction of the black box into something a bit more 2001: A Space Odyssey. Storing this thing will be a complete pain in the ass for anyone with a smaller entertainment console or shelf. It will also be a prime target for getting knocked over with that narrow-ass base. I also…

Thank you, to Stephen and all of the Kotaku staff, for doing their absolute best to provide us all with some levity and a form of normalcy in these trying times, even as you all deal with the same issues as everyone else. You all are a shining light in the fog this world is in, helping in your own ways to give hope…

I was running into a lot of process failures at work on Friday. I finally got things working on Sunday, and I felt super proud of myself. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like some of that excitement has translated across to others at work which is really bumming me out. I’m sorry about the pupper leaving you so soon,…

The face looks great though. It looks like they did the same thing that Nick Cage did in Kick-Ass, where he puts black grease paint around the eyes so that the mask can have larger eye holes.
