Thank God, this shit was getting expensive

I'm still playing Yoku's Island Express. It's so much better than anyone could have expected. An extremely solid non-violent Metroidvania/Pinball(?!?) game with a perfectly realized whimsical tone, all on a carefree island full of secrets and sidequests. It's almost certain to be a top ten of the year game for me.

Pete Hines is really committed to this whole "fuck nazis" thing. Loving it.

I finally saw Solo and.... I really liked it? What did people not like about it? I feel like I don't understand Star Wars fans anymore.

A meth lab just exploded two blocks from me. So... that's cool

Yoku's Island Express is my new favorite Switch game. Nice to finally have something to play on it again.

For some reason my almost 4 year old daughter decided to clearly enunciate the name "Prendergast" several times at the dinner table tonight with no explanation. She seemed to consider this highly amusing.

In any case, it was probably time to introduce the kids to Teddy Pendergrass. Even if the name doesn't quite fit.

Man, Valerian is not a good movie. Bad casting, lazy, retrograde writing... it has a bit of the visual flair of the Fifth Element but none of the anything else.

New guideline for checking if your kid's movie is just about over: if there's a giant anime pillar of light that figures are ascending into, should be done within five minutes or so.

Embarrassing admission time: Every time I see a Kia Rondo I automatic think "...of BLOOD".

One of the fun things about being old and out of touch: yesterday I had never heard of Sigrid and today I have done nothing but work and watch Sigrid music videos.

That said, I just read an article that really does a great job of explaining why some places don't take reservations. I guess it's just the people who wait four hours for an oyster bar that confuse me.

I mean, except for Eventide where the line spills into the street and makes the sidewalk impassible for the entire summer.

I'd like to thank all the fine restaurants who charge more than $30 for an entree but don't take reservations; you have effectively quarantined the people who make poor life choices or don't see time as valuable, leaving more space on city streets for me.

Man, I have tried and tried and I really do not like the Scott Pilgrim movie. I wish I did. I like the comic, and I like Edgar Wright.

Well, I ended up just reinstalling SMB 1.0 because... uh... ride or die? I can't find an SMB 2 app on Android that actually works for what I need.

F1 is very relaxing to watch except when someone decides to turn their car into a cloud of rubber and carbon fiber.

Lordy. Nothing like a crash live when the feed is on first person view to wake you up in the morning. Not even a bad one.

Currently watching F1 while the kids play well together. Unsettlingly well.
