Drunk cycling is a large part of why I quit booze six years ago.

I mean, “Son of Sam” was about a man who became a serial killer after being told to by a dog so I can see why cats would like it.

“Do I really look like a guy with a plan?”

Yeah also, how would he be able to wear the same clothes for 30 years? Not just because of the smell- I’m pretty good at taking care of my things but don’t think I could keep them intact for that long.

They are doing another Rey movie but it won’t be part of the “Skywalker Saga.” Can’t say I’m as excited as I would’ve been prior to IX but I will still definitely be there when it’s out.

Love Rian Johnson, especially as a Breaking Bad fan.

Don’t believe everything MAGA breathes

Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love seat

I actually really liked Last Jedi on its own and consider it in the top half of my ranking of the franchise. I think Luke’s characterization could’ve been handled better (and the whole Canto Bight subplot could’ve been cut wholesale) but looking at myself at 23 (how old Luke was in RotJ) and my experiences since, I found the lapse of judgement and faded optimism quite relatable. Adam Driver is one of my favorite actors and his portrayal of an abusive yet charismatic antagonist turned love interest was spot-on. There’s also the comparisons you could make between the First Order and the rise of fascism in America today. That one’s a bit of a stretch but it’s important to recognize World War II’s influence on the original trilogy and the Iraq War’s on the prequels.

That said, Rise of Skywalker is not only the worst Star Wars film- I consider it the worst film I’ve ever watched. It’s not a poorly-made film, the cinematography is great, but the plot is nonsensical. It redacts everything they set up in the Last Jedi, retroactively making that one worse than it is standalone. What seals it though is this will always be the ending of the saga- they can’t go back and fix it. I’ve probably seen worse movies, but the disappointment will never reach the level that this one gives me.

I’m excited that Zelda gets her own play style and isn’t just a reskin of Link. We all saw how Zelda’s Adventure on CDi turned out.

I immediately thought of Sgt Yates from the South Park episode where this exact scenario happened.

Plus Lydon is a Right-Winger now.

On my brief 4-6 month career on Tinder many years ago, one of the only “successful” dates was someone who was trying to force it as much as possible. In their defense though, I feel like the apps encourage this.

It was here I learned that it was a huge turn-off for me and that I prefer to meet people organically.

Still waiting for the news that they took down old.reddit. Without the third party apps, that was the only way it could still be usable.

Another streaming service that started around the same time as Netflix’s. More focused on TV shows and now owned by Disney.

Decades of retro game collecting experience leads me to agree :)

It’s also odd because of Xbox’s recent push to boost market share in Japan. Why would they close their only Japanese studio?

I’m about 6 years completely Amazon-free. A key component of the switch was realizing a lot of the random stuff I’d buy (mostly cycling equipment) is cheaper on eBay with faster shipping. The irony is that the seller is likely the same one on Amazon and the items would be delivered by Amazon Fulfillment Services.

A home for Hobbits

I’m playing the original Phantasy Star via the SEGA Ages version on Switch. Very much enjoying the simplicity of an 8-bit RPG, but it’s amazing to see how much they were able to push the Sega Master System to its limits.

Also trudging through Dirge of Cerberus on PS2. It’s clunky and jank as hell but I love the atmosphere.
