Finally read the copy of @jaredthrone.bsky.social's Bridge Planet Nine that I picked up at SPX.

This book is so good, people. Really, really loved my time with it.

I started with lotr and doctor who and stayed and play twice a week. I think UB gets way too much hate when the problems are deeper than that. Spider-Man could have been a great set but they just didn't invest in it the way they need to.

The in universe sets have been way better recently at least.

Animal Well. I fall into your "I don't finish games I don't like" bucket, but also I am still so mad people compared this game to tunic. None of that stuff was critical path.

Man, the way Hades II makes the descent route feel like a joke after you've made it to the top of Olympus is so good.

It's absolutely wild how emotional I get when Billy, Teddy, or Tommy show up in anything. I just love all of Wanda's boys.

Joe Lock and Ruaridh Mollica interacting in IG comments just made me teary. If we ever get Teddy in the MCU I will fully lose it.

This was such a good idea. I need one of you to make this.

Here is a free podcast idea because I'm too busy:

"On Your Left"

It's a podcast breaking down the MCU's messy politics from a Marxist perspective

Yeah.... Without throwing anyone under the bus...I think that particular criticism doesn't hold water

I have tried it and I wish I enjoyed the gameplay. Tartarus is much less enjoyable in Portable for me. Though maybe I'm just a bit burnt out on p3 to begin with.

I dont know man, this is just a weird thing to say when you’re doing straight remakes of Persona 3 and 4 automaton-media.com/en/news/pers...

Persona 3 Reload devs haven't changed their minds about adding Portable’s female protagonist. "We have a mission to tackle new things" - AUTOMATON WEST

Persona series producer Kazuhisa Wada says Persona 3 Portable's female protagonist is definitely not coming back, but the team is working on "other new things."
