Hey hey HEY. He has a cologne *habit*.

It is very much so a chain, I’ve had the one in Cola and the Chas one is right by where I live now.

Truly a perfect news alert

Happy Mario day!

Thanks! NXT house show in October 2017, in Greenville SC. Fantastic show and a lot of fun.

Young Bucks are pretty much the pinnacle of that style of tag team wrestling & pro wrestling in general. If you don't like that style, you won't like them. If you do like that style, they are undeniable. Best way to put it.

Little sneak preview of what that monster looks like up close and personal… hope you get to go! 🤞🤞🤞

Bandcamp buys this week

Last week: totally forgot to buy the DeathByRomy discog on @bandcamp.com like I've been wanting to do for a while now

This week: the entire DeathByRomy discog has been removed from Bandcamp.

Another weak week for Bandcamp.

😔

Bandcamp buy today.

@bandcamp.com Friday was only rescued by the amazing @ministryband.bsky.social boxed set. There's virtually nothing releasing in 2026 that I care about so far, and it's kind of sad.

I tell people that the way to know I'm legit angry is when my accent goes full Robert DeNiro, and that means they REALLY got on my bad side.

I make it a point to listen to every single cover of this song ever made, because I think it's like the best song to cover ever written, it let's everyone do what they want with it and make it their own while still being itself.

Z3 was my dream car for a while... I was driving a '95 Mustang GT convertible, the Z3s were SO sleek, then I ended up with a baby on the way so no Z3, and the Mustang got traded in for a Grand Marquis.

Bandcamp receipts for the week.

OK @bandcamp.com week, picked everything out yesterday but was so busy I didn't get around to hitting buy.

I tried watching a whole show. No way to do that without subscribing to a service I only would use for AEW. I’m not doing that for a show that is barely grabbing me. I work four jobs. I’m not committing that 3+ hours to a show that looks like it dropped what was interesting to me.

I don’t know why people feel the need to gatekeep stuff, ESPECIALLY when I didn’t even say anything like “the roster is terrible except Kyle Fletcher”. I praised him for getting over in 2 minute clips.

Because as far as I can tell, like half of the Bucks face turn actually happened on BTE, which I do watch and a ton of folks who watch the shows don’t. So I guess they should sit down too?

So, I’m not allowed to say “in the content I’ve seen, this guy really impresses me”? Wowowow lol hahaha what’s the threshold? Weekly Dynamite but no Collision let me have a say? If I skip BTE am I barred from having an opinion?

They haven’t posted a clip on it to their YT account in a like a month if not more. They really are doing a terrible job with that, I keep thinking all these stories are dropped. I’m constantly borderline paying for the show but then something that hooked me seems to evaporate 😢

Kyle Fletcher - as someone who watches the clips on YouTube and nothing else - is consistently the most interesting thing on AEW for me. The Takeshita/Okada stuff was funny too, but it seems to have disappeared as far as the clips are concerned.

Bandcamp buys for today.

Another weak @bandcamp.com Friday 😢

I wish they'd do this *anyways*. I don't need - or want - to be in dozens of Discords, with the pings, bings, boops, beeps, badges, and popups just for "here's a few screenshots and an updated timeline".

As a developer, manager, and leader with around 30 years experience, downgraded to senior developer and constantly being asked why AI can’t do my job… I feel you 😔😒

To answer the big question, it's your game, do what feels right for you! Steam's obviously the major market, but if that's not really what you want, I can get that. Just send me a link to check it out because I'm intrigued either way.

The market is effectively useless when anyone with a compiler can get a listing. Like Comixology is being flooded with ChatGPT generated comix, it's very quickly degrading in usefulness to me, the consumer, wading through slop.

I'll bet it's to ensure only people who are serious about a game list it, rather than fill the system with junk that someone abandoned after a weekend of work... especially when people think "I made a game!" after a few hours with Claude, that's a useful filter.
