Software engineer, ace/aro, any/all pronouns. I'm into all kinds of media (especially indie games and anime), media criticism/analysis, and politics.

From Hawkeye (2012) #3 (written by Matt Fraction, art by David Aja), in which a nude Clint Barton desperately tries and fails to fend off Tracksuit Mafia thugs with only a bedside lamp. Captions are as follows: “Anything is a weapon if you’re in deep enough trouble. There’s no special training. No special skill. Just the belief that at any time you might have to hurt someone to stay alive. What kind of an animal walks into a room and figures out what they can use to hurt people if they have to hurt— —what kind—“

"Tell you the truth, this one was a mystery to all of us." The Clerk shrugs, as if admitting something. "I mean, we always deny all knowledge. But this time we didn't have anything to deny. The working theory is 'sometimes spiders just do that'."
I've taken a while about this (originally it was going to happen last year) because, especially as regarded the first book, I wanted to take care not to fix what wasn't broken. These new editions are emphatically not rewrites. However, they do involve: • The most important bit: adjustment of technology and background in the book(s) to reflect what's routinely been part of young readers' lives, starting in 2008 • Some minor editing of material that struck me while revising as clumsy or ineffective • Some additional material (not vast amounts) • Repair and reconstruction of what has for a long time been a very broken, inconsistent and frankly dysfunctional timeline

from the game Anthology of the Killer: "M.T. Lott's celebrated moment of moral awakening occurred after the artist watched 1000 hours of children's cartoons on a dare. Realising morality was too important to be left to human fallibility he set about embodying it in immortal objects known as "works of art". Using capital acquired from his many supporters in the NGO space he soon began work on his most ambitious project yet. The unfinished remains of this work..."

Me playing Ironclad vs. Doormaker on Ascension 10 in Slay the Spire 2. I have only 8 HP left, but Doormaker is down to 44 HP and I'm about to hit him with a 54 damage Perfected Strike+
Ironclad fighting against Queen in Slay the Spire 2. Queen is at 10/400 HP on turn 1 and is being targeted by a Pommel Strike ("Deal 15 damage. Draw 2 cards.") to finish her off. Ironclad also currently has 77/80 HP and 43/3 energy, and every card remaining in the deck has been drawn except for 1 card in the discard.
Bar chart titled “Q: To what extent do you consider yourself to be a gamer” with scores ranging from 0 (“I am not a gamer”) to 10 (“I am a gamer”). The bars don’t line up with the numbers on the x-axis because there are 12 bars but only 11 numbers.

I Close the Door Which I Have Opened 29 January, 2026 (Queeneater's Castle) I have pushed away the dreams and the red and the sacrifice. I have clawed my way back into my own skull. The face I feel when I reach up and touch it is my own: not hers. Mine. Mine alone. I can see beyond the mirrors now with mine own eyes. I see there is a breach open from the Stacks, in the chamber of the Rites of the Ruby. Dreams spill from it like blood from a strung-up bull. It wants me: I must get to it. It is here I am made and unmade: it is the source of the sanguine dreams; it is the call I must answer. It is the slab and I am the sacrifice, if I do not best it. The mirrors around the Palace make the Flaw: it keeps any from dreaming into this mind, into what leaks from the gate, the portal, the breach. And in sealing away those dreams, the flaw is recursive: All dream of the red castle as it stops any from dreaming their way into the castle. It is a cork placed in a bottle being shaken: it will not hold. I must unstop it. I must reach the breach and perform the Rites of the Ruby.

After advising Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign and early administration, Giuliani joined President Trump's personal legal team in April 2018, remaining on it during the 2020 presidential election. His activities as Trump's attorney have led to allegations that he engaged in corruption and profiteering. In 2019, Giuliani was a central figure in the Trump-Ukraine scandal. Following the 2020 election, he represented Trump in many lawsuits filed in attempts to overturn the election results, making false and debunked allegations about rigged voting machines, polling place fraud, and an international communist conspiracy.

Cohost post made by me 2 years ago: certified brain genius Ok, so I was trying to Google this one pun I thought of to see if anyone had ever made the same one before, and it seems like I might actually have been the first person to come up with it: “She was left downright upset.” #puns
Two Bluesky posts from me: Reply to Liz Ryerson I keep meaning to play Uurnog since I really liked the other Nifflas games I've played, and I'm pretty sure I picked up Pig Eat Ball at some point in one of those itch charity bundles. Hopefully I'll get around to them one of these days! Reply to Michael I still gotta play Sephonie... Looking forward to this as well though!
