I have been playing Hollow Knight, and it is a beautiful game and I can see why it is so beloved. But dear God there is just so much backtracking - even for a Metroidvania!

Now that Steve and Peggy have a kid I think it could make for an interesting and fruitful story someday to explore how that kid turns out to be a shrimp like their dad and how they deal with that some other way than super soldier serum.

I hope it is good. I will be sad if it is baaad.

I prefer the name Tricianetta.

Only two Kryptonians.

I am a bit wary of the tone but maybe it will make more sense when the pace of the full film is likely a tad slower than the trailer.

We have an angel that we have had for long enough at this point that I struggle to remember what the star we had when I was a kid looked like.

I feel like this would be the appropriate time for another Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa one liner: "It has begun!" My first reaction when I saw the news earlier was, "Are you kidding me?"

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa to movie goers, 1995: "Your soul is mine!" The gods to Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, 2025: "Your soul is mine!" https://variety.com/2025/film/obituaries-people-news/cary-hiroyuki-tagawa-dead-mortal-kombat-1236600753/

French fries of reasonable quality. They may be terrible for you, but they sure are tasty.

Autosave of some kind can be okay if it is frequent and doesn't have the effect of gatekeeping achievements. Like, autosave in Tomb Raider games is generally alright I think.

I did not buy anything. Going to wait for the Winter Sale on Steam and Boxing Day sales in stores to see if I can get a deal I like.

Unfortunately our celebrating the demise of nicotine may have been... premature. Enter vaping and, I think, a possible resurgence of smoking in popular culture. Not to mention I am not sure that smoking ever actually declined in some parts of the World.

I wonder whether they could get away with casting Anya Taylor-Joy and then injecting just a little No One Lives Forever into her take.

Colleen Jones, iconic Canadian curler and reporter, has died after a battle with cancer. My Mom told me, and was saying she was glad she and my Dad had a chance to meet her when the Scotties was held in the local city. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/colleen-jones-obituary-9.6991829

In my corner of Canada we actually saw people lighting fireworks in a local parking lot on Diwali I think from our window. They high-tailed it out of there when they heard sirens (that turned out to be an ambulance I think) but came back around to light some more. Not sure if we were close...

I think 50-80k pounds might be wildly undervaluing what that desk might pull in. There are some extremely rich (and extremely evil...) Tolkien fans out there.

One interesting thing is that at the time of the American Revolution the party enjoying a long period of dominance in British politics was in fact the party that was more sympathetic to the Americans. The focus on the King is also a bit odd to me considering this was quite a while after the idea...

I got my D&D books at a garage sale and they were AD&D 1e. So that is my TSR edition.

Thanks to this important clarification I voted that I observed Thanksgiving as a non-American. But obviously as a Canadian it was our October Thanksgiving that I observe. I feel like from the current tally most of my fellow Canadians must have just voted no though.
