How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

That seat is finally going to be open to someone decades closer to a practical age for the district.

Is that a promise?
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

I had to panic move all my chiles inside the garage to avoid the first frost tonight, and boy let me tell you moving a couple thousand pounds of _plant_ was not on my Friday to-do list.

Got to the credits of Pokemon Legends Z/A, and boy does this show a path forward for the series. It's a bit rough of a game overall, but the combat was _wonderful_.

Microsoft no commenting the use of Halo by DHS is some unsurprising shit. Add it to the list of things where they are tripping over their own dick.
The DHS says it's "finishing this fight" to "destroy the Flood" right above the recruitment site for ICE. https://kotaku.com/department-homeland-security-halo-ice-pokemon-video-dhs-2000639308

Some 8-bit Microsoft stuff came in this weekend, which is more than I’ve gotten for the Xbox lately.

Nothing says let's revitalize Halo like dipping into CE for a 4th time instead of moving the series forward.

Anyone following me done the Takezo fight in Ghost of Yotei? I've got a weird interaction where I cannot parry the first attack after reviving w/ spirit and I'm trying to figure out if it's a bug or a timing quirk where you aren't given control quick enough to actually _do_ the parry.

Alright, 120 stars in both Galaxy and Galaxy 2. I didn't want to replay 1 with Luigi and I could give a rats ass about collecting 120 green stars in 2, so I think it's time to move on. Those games have aged very well.

something i am extremely chill and normal about is that a game that i worked on– as a lead, no less– is on a nintendo system on a physical cartridge
this is the sort of thing that a calm, sensible person, like myself, will not bring up at every social opportunity

I think my next Lego project is rebuilding the Star Destroyer so I can get the box outta my office. My cat jumped on it a couple years ago, taking out several panels and snapping the stand, so it was stripped down to the frame and repaired. I need to stop ignoring this and clean the whole area.
