Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 4hThe most frustrating thing in ADHD for me is how little I can trust my own perception. I think a neutral face is screaming at me and every few years I take prescription hallucinogens so I don't hurt myself, so please explain this "objective reality" you're referencing, that sounds amazing. 180
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 12hShort form video content is convinced that I'm interested in watching well groomed men from the Middle East put on perfume and you know what? It might be right this shit is calming as hell. I need to whisper about how I'm layering on three kinds of hella expensive but good smelling oil. 080
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 13hWhenever I feel like criticizing the games press I remember it's all corporate owned, no one is getting paid, and headline mandates mean good work is basically impossible. There are good indie sites out there, but the overall ecosystem is in really rough shape and it's not the writers' fault. 0301

This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp... 4043581925

Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The kids are rediscovering Alanis Morrisette and at the time those albums were ridiculously overplayed but now that I've gone back and just listened to them as songs? Alanis fucking rules. She brought the thunder and it all stills sounds great. 1251
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Cats are a ridiculous concept. You can get a little panther that wants to keep you warm while you both sleep. That's amazing. 031125
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Boy howdy if you have any feelings about generational suicidal ideation I'm just going to put a big ol' "BIG OL FEELINGS" tag on the latest episode of Lanterns. Not a criticism. Brilliant episode. But yeah I had to pause a few times. It goes swimming in some dark waters. 1112
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 29/09/2026My Resonant strategy so far is to run around and do side quests and enjoy the vibe and combat. I have nowhere I need to be and nothing to write about. It's been great savor this one. 1110
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I stretched my entertainment budget a little to pick up Resonant but I've been playing every night and haven't regretted it for a second. Remedy, I see you and appreciate you. This game is an absolute delight, and I've been with you since the Max Payne mouse pad. 2290
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I was not emotionally prepared for this episode of Lanterns, it turns out. 150
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If are you wondering how delighted I am that a character in Lanterns is a watch enthusiast the answer is all the delight. I love this show so much. 051
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The same kid that saw Primetime with me also pointed out how good the sound design is and how well the full audio experience of the theater and the mixing made every gunshot count. Guns are not fired that often. You feel it every time. Even the stupid ones. Especially the stupid ones. 090
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Resident Evil for the second time was just as fun. The jump scares still work. I was able to really soak in the technical achievement of it. It did not have to look that good to work and so many shots are just beautiful. The use of darkness is the best since The Batman. 0140
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This has been the perfect pop culture day. Saw Primetime, watched a wild Bengals Steelers game, played some Control Resonant, going to see Resident Evil again, and then new Lanterns. Zero complaints. 0130
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026"Back in my day if you sold anything..." Ok, but we used to argue about clapping during E3 and now your outlet is owned by venture capital and they don't let you put the name of games in the headline and you pay $20 for 30 guides a month. It's not your fault but let's not pretend the past exists. 1200
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Watching Primetime with one of my older kids and seeing the world of older trashy TV through his eyes was wild. The shit we used to just calmly watch like it was normal. 160
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Folks, it's silly to pretend like anyone cares about writers or influencers selling their old promotional shit. There are no jobs, and the ones that kind of exist barely pay. What are they going to blacklist you from. Cereal is $5 a box. This is a made up controversy. 0140
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm happy for everyone who isn't having an anxiety attack during every play in this Bengals Steelers game. What a shit show 030

Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I saw Primetime. Pattinson is on a run that we're going to be talking about for 30 years. It's dark, surreal, super weird, and Pattinson as Chris Hansen makes so many bizarre acting choices that somehow all pay off. It's buck wild. 1160
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026You are lying to yourself if you claim you don't own a copy of Flurbin' Durbin' by Rascal Sally. Everyone owns that song. Flurbin' Durbin' is life. Why would you lie about it. 062

Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026There is a weird generation thing with Primetime. One of my older kids brought up wanting to see because to them this is weird and hard to believe American history. That feels a little weird. Everyone was watching back in the day.static.klipy.comPrimetimeALT: Primetime 0122
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Today I'm seeing Primetime in the morning, then the Bengals Steelers game, then another showing of Resident Evil with most of the kids because they haven't seen it yet. Then a new episode of Lanterns and I have some work prep to do for the week. This is an ideal pop culture Sunday 0121
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026My daughter has been reading the Hunger Games series and we've been watching the movies together and honestly watching JLaw fuck up a bunch of fascists is pretty satisfying right now. 0260
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It makes me super happy to see so many people vibing with Control Resonant as much as I am. I think this one is real special. 0130
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A real thing I'm very proud of: I did the online ordained minister thing and performed two ceremonies for some of my closest friends and both couples are still married and that rules. What a great thing to get to help someone with. Honestly makes me happy to think about. 2350
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 27/09/2026For all the pressure I put on myself this morning I had a very profitable day and made a real dent in the lawn. I wish I could convince myself all that worry is unnecessary before I perform, but it seldom listens to evidence. 1111
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I was helping a lady with a project and I asked to borrow a pen because mine were in the car and she said "No problem, do you like your pens scratchy or smooth?" I looked up and said "oh fun! Are you ADHD or autistic?" And she laughed for about five minutes before saying "autistic, you?" 1300
Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Ok brain, I'm going to do the same things I did yesterday, and I'm perfectly safe. Brain: great, I'm going to pull the adrenaline lever until it reaches "being hunted for sport" levels. Should help. 0110

Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Creed has a ridiculous premise but Phylicia Rashad absolutely anchors the film in the opening 15 minutes. Her performance puts the whole movie in motion and gives the entire thing a sense of weight and emotional reality. It makes the silly idea serious. I adore Creed. May be my favorite from Coogler 1100

Ben Kuchera @benkuchera.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Listen, I don't suggest anyone stay completely ignorant of most gaming news. I get wanting to be connected to the hobby.
