Just a dad trying to figure out how to still play games, watch movies and read more.
It's Sammy's third birthday. He had a blast but I had a very low moment. We attempted his first movie and he was so excited that he kept shouting PIKACHU and we left about a half hour in. He was awestruck by the size of the screen and he loved the trailers especially Superman.

Finding out I really like the feeling of my mouth being numb at the dentist. Half my mouth feels fuzzy.

Boy kills world was a really good and funny action film. I wish the world building was a little more fleshed out and the action had a few too many edits but man what a good ending. Solid 7/10.

I think the most bittersweet part of watching Sam grow up is knowing that one day he will realize that Astro Bot isn't actually waving at him.

I'm very excited for the new tron and I personally like Jared Leto as an artist. I think it's very funny seeing people upset he's in it despite us knowing this for years.

Probably unhealthy but I just assume that my MAGA family members are cool with everything going on. I also don't care enough to talk with then either.

I'll do my first pseudo game review. Scars Above is a very solid 6/10. Nothing blew me away, but everything was good enough. Definitely scratched the sci-fi itch I've had recently. Main negatives were the somewhat stiff animations and combat. Positives: good story and atmosphere/environments.

The Tesla backlash is real, and it's only getting louder. With a slowdown in the core business, a flop truck, no autonomous vehicles, alienated customers, mass protests, vandalism, arsons, Nazi associations and DOGE outrage, hate for the automaker is at an all-time high:
'Musk's Involvement in Politics Could Be the Downfall of Tesla'
Tesla is facing protests, arsons, and ridicule as Americans outraged by Elon Musk's actions in the Trump administration poison the brand's reputation.
