My version of "we used to drink water from the hose and no parents knew where we were cuz it was SAFER back then, and WE MUST RETURN." is "we had oekaki boards 🥺"
Maybe when I get old and shitty, I'll start voting real bad over the idealized concept of oekaki boards

Among the guitar rhythm game crowd, there's probably a good shortlist of the worst games in that genre.
PowerGig: Rise of the SixString. Rock Revolution. Guitar Hero Live, maybe.
But I add Santa Rockstar HD as a candidate for the worst five-fret guitar game I've played in a while.

I know there's still days left in this year, but a 2026 New Years Resolution is for me to definitely See More Things
Watch more movies. Catch that TV show a friend raves about. Listen to the oodles of albums I've been grabbing. Tackle that goddamn gaming backlog.
Fairly achievable goal tbh

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

A couple days ago, me and my partner did some thrifting and I found some interesting stuff:
- A Flubber CD-ROM press kit
- The soundtracks to The Departed and Reservoir Dogs
- A DVD of Tom Wilson (Back to the Future)'s stand up special, autographed
Love when I find just the wildest stuff.

Installing a recent game and realizing I was running low on space.
Then I find out that I have amassed a Podcast backlog that's 2 1/2 years behind and taking up 97GB on my SSD.
I have since moved it to my storage HDD because hey, I need that 97GB! It could be used up by more games!
