Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

Wrestling is special. Only a community like this can band together in moments of absolute darkness, put on a show that illustrates why you love this artform so much, and make you see the light.

Pac was a real pro wrestler. Left wwe before aew was a thing, told that company to eat shit then he coulda walked right in to NJPW when they were still super hot and went to dragon gate out of loyalty. There are very few guys left out there that are like him

You could always count on PAC to have a good to great match, but my favorites of his were the ones with Orange Cassidy, they had freakish chemistry and PAC knew how to be the self-serious heavy for Orange’s style. I can’t believe they’re never gonna wrestle again

If you are so extraordinarily stupid that you fall for a standard Republican trans panic ruse, I cannot trust you to represent me in office. This is like media literacy 101. Your colleagues are going to run circles around you. Dupe you into anything. I'd be safer running and representing myself.

I think it's different if I'm playing a game as piece of art where I'm trying to interact with it on an emotionally enriching level, but that's not the way I was playing video games. I was playing them rotely and joylessly, attempting to jog out a sense of accomplishment by watching number go up.

A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter’s education that I hoped would challenge New York City’s separate and unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice.

similarly for zelda i look at link running around realistic grass and rock textures in 4k Hyrule Field and beyond the jokes my main thought is a new zelda game would *never* look like this. it is an aesthetic that would not be considered were it not a remake. you must see the Progress on the screen

just a tremendous list of failure dated from april to september. it includes the name of every pitcher who gave up the lead and i won't put those here because it would feel like striking them from the book of life or something
