So, Nintendo updated the official Zelda timeline, putting the Wild era at the end of all 3 major branches. As it stands, this implies that era is simply an inevitability. I don't like that. So here's what I propose: The Wild Era exists in a merged timeline.

So, I just learned from moreparz on Youtube (www.youtube.com/shorts/41_8v...) that this is a thing. www.volkswagen.com.au/en/roobadge.... A GPS-activated speaker that plays predator sounds to deter kangaroos. And they're planning to make a version for deer in North America and Europe.

The Hyundai N Vision gives me serious 80s cyberpunk vibes, so I spent entirely too long making a livery for it inspired by a random TDK VHS tape sleeve. Share code 100 065 703

Masters of the Universe had no right being as good as it was. Whoever made the first trailer did the film no justice, I was expecting it to be a rehash of the "stuck on Earth" storyline from the old movie, but there's like... 30 minutes of Earth. And the score? Impeccable.

New Forza Horizon means it's time for me to make a new set of Lantern Corps cars. I started doing this back in Motorsport 4. That came out right after the Blackest Night event, so it was fresh in my mind. First up, we've got the Green Lanterns, the Red Lanterns, and a Kyle Rayner-inspired bonus.

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 6, showing a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302. It is primarily a two-tone green and black, with black racing stripes, and Green Lantern logos. The livery is Green Lantern, primarily Hal Jordan, inspired.

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 6 showing a 2019 Hennessey Ford F-150 Velociraptor (a 6-wheeled version of the Ford F-150). The color scheme is primarily matte red and black, with jagged edges between colors. The windows are similarly blacked out, with jagged edges and claw marks to allow the driver to see. It has several Red Lantern Corps logos. The livery is Red Lantern Corps inspired, primarily Atrocitus.

@horizon.forza.net Why are there so many sub-divisions for car categories? Like Classic Rally vs Retro Rally? It feels arbitrary, and makes it annoying to figure out where a given car can be used.

I miss when @humblebundle.com was DRM-free. There's a Joe Hill bundle up right now. I love Locke & Key got me back into comics, so I love Joe Hill. But it's only readable on Kobo. I've got a Kindle. I've passed on numerous Humble book bundles because of this.

I know this is me being an old man by modern web standards, but I grinds my gears when people say they've "made a meme". You can't just *make* a meme. Memes happen. You post an image, video, joke, or whatever and people run with it. An image *isn't* a meme unto itself!

Played and beat the main story in Pokemon Legends Z-A this weekend. Perfect? No, but it was fun. I'm still confused why people keep saying it looks like a PS2 game. I don't think most people making that comment were around for the PS2. I think the art was fine.

@humblebundle.com Will the books in the Star Wars book bundle be able to be loaded on a Kindle? I got burned before when a bundle was on Kobo. Even just trying to read one on my PC was a bunch of hoops to jump through. Thanks for calling it out in very obvious text this time though.

Just saw the Ozzy "tribute" on the VMAs. I know I'm not the target audience, but holy crap that was bad. It's not like there aren't huge bands that were Ozzy's contemporaries still active, or even major current metal acts. It honestly felt disrespectful to me.
