I read recently that the prolonged rehashing of 1980s kid media is now called "courting the grandpa market," and, yeah. Gen-Alpha doesn't give a shit about Transformers, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, He-Man, Star Wars. Those movies are for 58-year-olds.

AI generated slop ads are getting wild.

An AI-generated slop ad for some sort of weird sex pillow that features a gray haired man who is either about to give his wife a massage or plow her doggie style.

Deckbuilding video games have become an addiction of mine. Here are some to try that are NOT Slay the Spire. Special shoutout to the delightful @theroyalwrit.bsky.social, which just came to #gamepass. thereisnttimeforthat.substack.com/p/deckbuildi... #deckbuilder #roguelike #videogamess

@jeffcannata.bsky.social Another terrific little roguelike deckbuilder recently hit Gamepass, and I think you'd dig it. It's essentially Wildfrost combined with Balatro, with a cute medievel storybook aesthetic. www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

For all you fans of tactics and deck building combat, "Fogpiercer" is a real indie gem: lots of creative mechanics that set it apart from the crowd. Choo choo! #indiegames #deckbuilders #roguelike @hoodedhorse.bsky.social

@jeffcannata.bsky.social Like you, I'm a huge deck builder fan. This is currently on Gamepass and I think you'd dig it (though it may take a few runs to really click). Combines tactical movement like "Into the Breach" with Slay the Spire deck-building. store.steampowered.com/app/3219010/...

Fight through the fog in this sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder where clever positioning, explosive chain-reactions, and the environment itself can make the difference between life and death.
