Watching some early Smallville episodes and I'm reminded of how good early Flash and Arrow was. There's something about superhero stories before they get bogged down that is just plain glorious.

For the first time I think my country needs nuclear weapons. It seems to be the only way to keep the insane fascists and resource thieves at bay.

Re-listening to the wondeful Rivers of London series the past few days. Amazing supernatural police procedural set in England which neatly sidesteps the "why it just use guns" problem you get with American supernatural detective stories.

Re-listening to the Rivers of London audio books and I dont think anyone has done the supernatural police procedural crossover that we'll before. Not even the Dresden Files.

I dont know of this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the 3DS era Fire Emblem games are the best ones.

While long trips always suck in some fashion I was at least able to listen to all of @coolzonemedia.bsky.social and @paizo.com playthough of Dawn of the Frogs complete with anarchists providing food AND bombs in more or less equal measure.

Well, that didn't take long. Someone made a comment after my brother talked through a straight hour of A Christmas Story and he threw a fit.
Every single year he makes it miserable for the rest of us.

I love the weird of the internet. A video of Weird Al joining in on a very serious cover of Killing in the Name Of, has thousands of comments like "we as a people have erred for the Weird Al has become the Serious Al and is going to judge us for our sins."
Wacky shit.
Wacky shit.

I'm seeing too much Switch 2 posting... I'm starting to think I want one despite the small game library and high prices on the games.

Slowly realizing that supervising people is actually a lot of work and means catching shit not only for your screw ups but other people's screw ups too.
I miss just fixing people's printers. Well, except for newer HP printers. Fuck those trash machines.

Had a great weekend and then spent today getting yelled at my boss for stuff other employees did. Now I'm just so fucking tired I want to go to sleep and not wake up. Fuck this stupid pointless existence.

So the Japanese style village on Dragon Quest XI isn't content to just have the pagoda style and appropriate music, no they had to crank it up to, well, 11.
Everyone speaks in haiku. I pity the poor localisation team.

Starting Dragon Quest XI. I am growing very concerned about the fate of this pastoral little village and the nice people in it. I've played enough JRPGs to suspect very bad things are coming their way....

Finally got the call from that stupid credit rating company that calls me twice a day while I'm at work and told them to stop fucking calling me I dont want your credit rating report scam.
My phone wouldn't let me block the number because they're associated with a major bank, which is bullshit.
