We have reached the respective developmental stages where my four year old doesn’t understand personal space and my one year old bites. It’s going great.

The Stand is a 1200 page book with 10 page chapters. Choosing to read it over a 45 page Dickens short story with no breaks feels like the book version of “I don’t want to sit through a whole movie, I’ll just watch nine 20 minute episodes of a tv show instead.”

I can’t lie, I enjoy playing this game, but yeah the first boot of the day (sometimes even the first boot after a few hours) it’s a fuckin CHORE.
Here’s a “I didn’t play for a week and now the Christmas event stuff started and every recurring revenue system reset requiring a new pop up” version that is somehow twice as long

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas.

I’ll say this for Pokemon ZA - it’s the first time I’ve ever seen clothing in a Pokemon game that I wanted to wear in real life.

Quote this with what you would have said your game of the year was at the end of 2015, if you had one, and what you would say your favourite game of 2015 is now, if it differs

I think my most grouchy old man opinion is that I do not like or understand ice cream cones. I want to eat my ice cream, not fight with it.

My main takeaway from the Disclosure Day trailer? NBC in Kansas City isn’t channel 4, Fox is.

I think the last new MM paperback I bought was the first Witcher novel, which I then found out is actually like the third Witcher book, but the first two were only in trade, so I bought the box set and never wound up reading the MM anyway. Bummer. I wish they were still prevalent but I get it.
All my recent books went from hardcover to trade paperback and almost all of my backlist in mass market has now migrated to trade. The role of mass market paperbacks is now handled almost entirely by ebooks. I'm okay with this but it is the end of an era.

I’m reading Stephen Ming’s first short story collection, which features a lot of pre-Carrie, early 70s stuff, and it’s clear he’s still sorta figuring out his voice, coming into his own as a writer, but the stories are fun.

If you back into a parking spot at the grocery store I think less of you. “But my big truck has a blind spot, it’s actually easier to back in that to pull in,” cool, I think EVEN LESS of you specifically.

I joined the dumbphones subreddit because I’ve been thinking about ditching my smartphone for something with way fewer features and I needed some knowledge. But the whole damn sub is just androids with physical keyboards. I don’t want something I can download Facebook on! That’s the whole point!
