Data wrangler and dad by day, werewolf by night. I write, I code, I draw/ink/color, I shook hands with the other guy in N'Sync once. Currently I overthink nerd culture and talk about it on my Substack.

I think it would’ve gotten a PSX game or something, but it opened like the week before Phantom Menace and got wiped off the map.

I’m a little optimistic since Democrats have overperformed every election from 2018 onward, but also yeah, still anxious daily.

There’s more instances of incumbents successfully coming back from a bad first debate than replacing mid-campaign or not running the incumbent and keeping the White House. Just gotta get out and campaign more.

It indicates he’s old and had an off night. He’s been fine before and since. I agree it was an unforced error but once we get SOTU Biden back, I think we’ll be good.

I hope they bring her out more when campaigning, emphasize they’re both doing the job right now. God forbid but if he really couldn’t perform, she can step in.

I’m waiting for you to get some Metroid or more obscure Metal Gear titles in, but I imagine those are as hard to find in Japan as the US.

Well he’s me officially the nominee yet, most of the challengers dropped out. But nobody else polls at numbers that make it worth taking the risk of losing incumbency.

In a baleful 4th of July speech to a crowd of about 3,700 people at Mount Rushmore, Trump rails against Democrats and warns that “angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities.”

Exactly, historically speaking replacing him would be an instant loss.

Agonizing over stuff like this does nobody any good unless they’re a police officer or a lawyer, so I’ll wait to hear what they say before I never read “American Gods” again.

I used to do this because people would come up when I was analyzing code and ask me to do something because I “wasn’t busy,” but if you make one monitor look like the opening credits to The Matrix, people think you’re doing something super important.

Oh that was happening before. Microsoft sponsored a bunch of cartoons where a dog learns how to use AI.

I’m trying to be a more positive person and not talk about politics on all my socials. But if you tell me you’re thinking about supporting RFK Jr in any capacity, I’m positive I will make fun of you for being a gullible, piss-brained idiot to the extent a site’s Terms of Service will allow.

Sure, Nixon took the White House that time, but surely the DNC challenger has smooth sailing into the Oval Office the next election right? (I’m joking, I’m from South Dakota, I know all about McGovern)

Let's grant the obvious that no one seems to want to emphasize: Replacing the nominee at this point—let alone a successful president (perhaps the most successful first-term president since FDR)—would be the biggest gamble in the history of American politics.

It is my eternal frustration that online sellers cannot tell the difference between Metroid Prime Hunters and the First Hunt demo that came with the phat DS.

That Gabriel’s horn concept is cool though, someone should do something with that. Give it to the Suicide Squad next time the next time the angels from Grant Morrison’s JLA run come up.

I used my PS3 to rip a CD into Sony’s abandoned but high quality ATRAC format, and then transferred the files over to my PSP. Now I can enjoy My Chemical Romance in the highest quality music 2007 can offer.

My basement flooded recently, and I kept going down to check on it as it dried out and thinking “yep three dead bodies, everything’s fine.” RIP

It’s a really good time to collect PS3 games, people are unloading them for cheap. Long as you don’t mind swimming through many, many FPS games.

Once upon a time I bought a package of Bologna and kept it in my car to throw at bad drivers. Never used it except to slap a slice on a DETOUR sign that kept me from getting in my own garage.

Hi, are you doomscrolling? I know the presidential debate is historically important for a variety of reasons, and you want to be informed about the world. You also deserve enough time to rest and recover. Make an effort to get enough sleep, and charge your phone outside of your bedroom.
