Always double check that electricity is shut off to an outlet before doing any work on said outlet.
Bonus tip:
Don't trust a previous homeowner's labeling of the fuse box.

The last few weeks of my life have been the real life version of the 1986 classic "Money Pit", and it's far more painful and exhausting than even Tom Hanks could make it seem.

I haven't played a Final Fantasy game numbered higher than XIII, and should probably fix that sometime.

I've been avoiding the Internet, so I haven't heard anything about RFK. It's always nice to hear that Bill Nye is still a decent person, though
I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

I typed out and then deleted a long rant about parenting young gamers.
Basically...just be involved with your kid's hobbies. Read to them. Play video games with them. Watch the shows and movies that they enjoy.

I'm disappointed paid items and loot boxes are coming to Fortnite. It's clear they're spooked by Roblox and worried they're losing younger players, so they're incorporating the worst parts of Roblox. I wrote about what parents can do for @crossplayblog.bsky.social www.crossplay.news/p/fortnite-i...
What Parents Should Know About the Loot Box Changes Coming to Fortnite
For now, "Battle Royale" mode seems off limits. But within other "Island" experiences, you should be aware of what you can and cannot control for your children.

My biggest ADHD hyper fixation ( in physical size) just got hauled away on a tow truck.
I'm not sure how I thought I would have the time, energy, or focus to fix up an old truck, but maybe now I'll feel less guilty without seeing it rotting away in the driveway.

It's kind of depressing to think of the story driven, single player experiences we're missing out on because so much of the industry is trying to jump on the Live Service wagon.

Yoshi's Island was a game that I begged my parents for at every holiday and birthday. Years passed and I only ever played it at a friend's house or as a rental.
So to not just beat the game, but also 100% complete it is an accomplishment 30 years in the making.

Arc Raiders seems like a game I would enjoy, but also an experience that is better the sooner you can jump in. By the time I get to it I imagine that the community will be full of toxic players.

Dispatch is doing a great job at reminding me that I'm terrible at making decisions. I'm pretty sure I make every choice I'm offered, even the inconsequential ones, at the last second.
Otherwise, I'm four episodes in and still thoroughly enjoying it.
