I've finally re-posted Chapter 2 of Mirrored Horizon!

In the last few weeks, I've been dipping my toes back into the works that inspired me years ago. It's been helping reignite my passion for my world and its characters. Chapter 3 will likely be very soon.

Well I can message you on Instagram if you bail from here. In the meantime, I got NIN tickets for February! I’m excited.

Love the NIN soundtrack, by the way. It got leaked a few days before the release and I tried sending it to you on here, but you were on a social media hiatus. Was trying to cheer up your day with it. I’m sure you’ve been listening to it a billion times by now.

Honestly the returns broke my heart, cause I do want more Tron just not with him. I’m afraid it will be gone for good, it’s an important franchise that is the basis on why I love video games and graphic design. I have five key pieces of popculture that really defined my life and Tron is one of them.

Oh my gosh, I have so much NIN Tron clothing now. I got pretty much everything from Hot Topic including the jacket. I also got the entire line of Adidas shoes.

God bless my fiancé for putting up with it all. 😅

El Capitan in Los Angeles. It was a fan event, and him aside, the fans were awesome. I also was surprised how good I’m doing, for the first time in a photo, I looked kind of lean!

Speaking of, did you see on Instagram he showed up at my showing? I kind of was like “Of course it had to be the theater I go to.”

I don’t know if AI will give us this sadly, someone on the other site posted a Tron Ares AI thing and it showed some Hispanic guy showing off his e-bike. I did not make this, I won’t use AI.

Oh, hey, President Crimes strikes again.

"At least Santos had the courage, conviction, and intelligence to always vote Republican..." Wow.

Love how people said this wouldn't happen, when the guy they are talking about said openly he was going to do it.

Funny enough, he’s doing Resident Evil next.

Here’s to Tron 4 in 2040, sadly.

Silent Hill f, wow.

That’s really all I can say because this is easily the deepest and most thought provoking Silent Hill game since the original Silent Hill 2.

Like the upside-down castle of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Just because you saw the end credits, doesn’t mean it’s over.

“Has anybody seen that movie Tron?”

Charles Lai is on The Grid! @comtar.bsky.social · 10d

Bet Napster in 1999 agrees.

I was there at the Grove! It was great to see you! My fiancé and I always try to come see you when you are in town!

“People should decide where people shop and what they enjoy! That’s true Capitalism.”

“Okay. Well, we won’t shop here then.”

“No! Not like that!”

Mine too.
“I like vivid colors!”
“You shouldn’t, you’ll get eyestrain!”
“No, keep the vivid colors.”
“You don’t really want vivid colors.”
“I do though!!!”

I just learned there is a condition men can get where they lose their Y chromosome. So if gender is determined by that, does that mean their women now? So they acknowledge trans people exist, right?

I just want to know what stupid logic they use when you tell them this is a real condition.

Yeah, Cronos starts like a basic "gotta kill the monster zombie things" game, but by the end, I was truly fascinated with the direction it took and what it was trying to say. That's another game that requires a second playthrough as well for more information. I loved my time with it.

Charles Lai is on The Grid! @comtar.bsky.social · 17d

I just finished a run and there is so much to chew on in this game, it definitely took me by surprise. What a great year for horror games between this and Cronos. I'm loving these two titles were horror with something to say.

Getting out of Xbox is starting to feel like the smartest gaming decision of 2025.

- Insane price hikes.
- Retailers are starting to stop selling them.
- Retro game stores are starting to stop taking Series consoles as trade-ins.
- Key Microsoft games are appearing on Playstation.

Why even stay?
