Great casting here - they match the energy of their characters perfectly and sound about how I envisioned their voices when reading the comics!
Still crazy to me that there are official voice actors for the IDW characters. Now they just need to be voiced in one of the games

The Bad Bunny halftime show was fantastic, definitely my favorite Super Bowl halftime show! It was such a clear love letter to Puerto Rico and the camera work was phenomenal - it felt like a music video happening live.
I can’t imagine wanting to watch the Kid Rock show instead lol

Finally finished House of Leaves. I really loved it, it’s one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had reading a book. The way some of the appendices changed my perception of the characters was great and I’ll be thinking about it for a while.
Here’s hoping Tom’s Crossing is just as good!

I was really hoping the last big announcement of the Partner Showcase was going to be something I really cared about.
Then Todd Howard appeared and I lost all hope

One of my coworkers always brings her laptop to work, and it always has a bunch of pro-Trump stickers on it.
The usual stuff about MAGA, how he’s a true American, etc.
Today she came in with that same laptop and all those stickers had been removed.
The tides are shifting

I can’t believe it.
After two full games with mostly uninteresting dungeons, Octopath Traveler 0 has had two dungeons (so far) that actually forced me to explore and were memorable.
I didn’t think they had it in them
(I like Octopath but the dungeons have always been a low point for me)

It’s nice to start the work week with a feel-good story.
Right-wing influencer Jake Lang is stuck in a window recess against Minneapolis City Hall.

Woke up freezing since we’re getting our few weeks of winter here in Florida but I’m now sweating because the office building’s boiler is malfunctioning, meaning it’s 88 degrees indoors.
And it’s only our office that has this problem. It’s a divine miracle (?)

This is just that bit in the Phineas and Ferb Christmas special where Buford is a bully all year but does one big act of kindness around Christmas so he can still get on Santa’s nice list.
However, Scott’s spent at least the past 10 years being a bigot so I’d wager his chances of success are lower

Instead of getting an Amazon gift card for my blood donation, I decided to go for Barnes & Noble instead.
Got a few books incoming, and since they had a site wide sale I was able to get one of them as a hardcover.
…I really do need to read the books I already have though lol

One of my favorite examples of this is in DQ Builders 2, where an enemy pastor who runs the first town you help is obsessed with farming and demands you help set up farms to help the town.
After doing this for a few hours you finally learn his name is Al.
Pastor Al.
Absolutely incredible

Playing Assassin’s Creed Mirage is reminding me why I haven’t touched the series since Unity.
The core gameplay is fun but the open world has so much bloat that it drains me from wanting to explore.
And I heard this game is smaller than Valhalla, yet I still feel like it’s too much

Lumines Arise is great so far but it’s destroying my brain. I’m so used to setting up Puyo Puyo chains that having to make 2x2 squares instead feels like I’m relearning how to walk.
The tutorials have been immensely helpful for that, and when you get into a rhythm it’s deeply satisfying

The latest Choujin X chapter was great, Sui Ishida still knows how to rip my heart from my chest.
It really feels like this could have been the end of the comic, so I’m excited to see what the next arc brings

Quite bold of the Democrats to have one of their Reps basically admit that their party stands for nothing and would rather keep things the way they are even if it literally kills the people who vote for them.
This was always the case, but admitting it like this is almost refreshing.
