What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

Did we mention the Talks are programmed with devs impacted by layoffs in mind? That means FREE ACCESS to the entire series. If you're able to donate, great! That helps us do more of these in the future. If you're not, that's okay! We don't want anyone unable to access support because of money.

We were watching the Wolverine Sentinel footage, and... We used to call these "high chair boss battles" because the boss looks like a baby in a high chair and you're on their tray. Now you have to see it, too 😅

screenshot from the new Wolverine game with him battling a giant Sentinel. Wolverine is on a platform that comes up to the sentinel's waist. The sentinel hands can come to rest on the platform.

A mock bad photoshop of Wolverine in the same pose from the trailer shooped into a stock image of a large baby boy sitting in a high chair and crying. Wolverine is standing on the high chair tray in a similar angle and presentation to the previous game trailer screenshot

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! Here’s Luclin! 🐈‍⬛ Frankly, I think our little voids have a much better rep than in the 90s. Well deserved good rep, too. She’s such a love bug.

All hail Luclin, Mistress of Shadows ! The picture is a black shorthair cat front half. She’s lounging comfortably on a blanket that also has cats on it. She’s looking off-screen at something.

Friends and neighbors like Ms. Rachel do everything in their power to protect children of the world at all costs 🌎 She is my hero, the library kids are my heroes. Be like Ms. Rachel, be kind. Raise your library voice for the children 💜

A smiling Ms. Rachel and Mychal take a photo together. Post on their photo from Mychal reads: “Friends & neighbors like Ms. Rachel do everything in their power to protect children of the world at all costs.
What she does takes exceptional courage. She is not fearless, rather her care & empathy tower over fear. She stands up to fear so she can take a stand for children, for people, for humanity.
She does not see herself as a hero, the children are the heroes.
But she is my hero, the library kids are my heroes.
Be like Ms. Rachel, be kind. Raise your library voice for the children 💜”

The saucer section dominates the upper frame, with the registration number clearly visible. The secondary hull and twin nacelles with glowing red Bussard collectors and blue warp field grilles are visible below. The background swirls with dramatic orange and purple cosmic clouds against a star-filled sky. Art by Pablo Mendoza.

Confronting your fears takes courage. That is obvious. But doing so also takes compassion. You must understand why the fear took hold in the first place, and be gentle with the part of you that shrank away from it. You must attack your fears, not yourself for having them.

Many years ago, I went from Couch up to 10K with ZR. Actively working on it again after a hiatus. ZR is amazing, y'all. Great voice acting. ZR5K is super accessible for brand new runners (starts at 15s slow runs rather than 45s like some programs). And the story keeps coming! <3 Raise the gates!
