I hop on socials to look up and talk about comic books (X-Men!), video games (the Xeno series!), anime (Gundam!), Major League Baseball (Go Yankees!), college football (Go Dawgs!), The Muppets or whatever other topic(s) tickles my fancy!
Pinned
As my inaugural post, I figure I'll list out the stuff I like/talk about:
- X-Men
- The Xeno series (Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade)
- Gundam (mostly Universal Century)
- Virtua Fighter
- Donkey Kong
- Godzilla
- Major League Baseball
- College football
- Misc.

I started playing #Nioh lately and have been loving my time with it. It's got its own take on the Soulslike gameplay formula with a really unique & engaging combat system.
Between this, Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, I can freely admit that I'm just a huge Team Ninja fan.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

A message from Bernice King, the daughter of MLK Jr. Let’s not allow people to white wash who he was, because what we learn in school is a sanitized version.
What lessons do you take from MLK/the Civil Rights Era, that can help us today?

It's crazy that the PSP port is still the most feature-rich version of the game.
That said, at least the roster is now fully represented in Fighting Collection 2.

Trump loves Saudi Arabia. It’s an authoritarian society, which punishes dissent and is owned by the wealthiest family on earth.
Trump hates Europe. The governments there are democratically elected.
The future of America must be a vibrant democracy. Not Trump’s authoritarianism.

I've said for years he was never going to finish it, and this pretty much confirms it.
Doesn't matter to me, either way, but it will be funny if the ending to the show, which a lot of people didn't like, was the only formal ending this story got.

George R.R. Martin has said that if he never completes Game of Thrones sequel Winds of Winter (or the book after that), there's no plan for anyone else to step in. Instead, his Song of Ice and Fire series simply "won't be finished."
