I think Resident Evil (2026) is dumb, silly, and full of videogame logic. (complimentary) Overall, I liked it but it does biff something so bad that that biff is all I'm thinking about. So I give it a resounding "meh".

Part of me is sad that this story arc is ending, but I'm also immensely grateful that it was able to reach an actual conclusion after The Escapist's demise. Even having never watched any D&D-based stories before, I cannot recommend this series enough. Easily one of the best things on YouTube.

I beat Baldur's Gate 3! In total: 252 hours and 3 attempts over the past 3 years. 85 hours in this last one alone! (a pure Wizard playthrough) Now, I always liked this game but now seeing most of it... it's somehow so much better than I thought it would be. The hype is real and deserved.

A screenshot of two Steam achievements for the video game Baldur's Gate 3.
One reads:
All's Well That Ends Well
Finish the game (with a heartfelt thank you from Larian Studios).
23.5% of players have this achievement

and the other reads:
Hero of the Forgotten Realms
Save the realms: destroy the Absolute once and for all.

The End of Oak Street is pure empty spectacle. (Derogatory) It doesn’t even bother to pay homage, it just limply gestures in the general direction of better movies.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Most of my cuts to Adventure is Nigh! boil down to "the players over-explain what they're about to do". Making plans, explaining combat... Because we can just show what they did... or what they failed at. So Ep 7... being mostly combat and making plans means I cut nearly an hour and 45 minutes!!!

A screenshot showing two editing timelines stacked on top of each other.
The top timeline is made of long rectangles and has a total time of 2 hours and 36 minutes
The bottom timeline is SEVERAL small rectangles with a total time of 50 minutes.

Episode 6 was one of the lightest cuts of the season, only removing about 50 minutes. It was pretty Role-Play heavy (which I loved) combat takes up the most of the cut time, as we're looking up rules and explaining what things do. Make sure to catch up before a new episode drops this Saturday.

Two editing timelines stacked on top of each other to showcase the difference between in-edited and edited footage.
The unedited timeline is about 1 hour and 50 minutes and appears as long, unbroken rectangles.
The edited time line is only about 50 minutes and is comprised of hundreds of tiny rectangles.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the tilting point from movies, back to the “Giant Sized Annuals” from its heritage. This is not a bad thing as the spectacle is is great. But I think they cut away too much of the theming to fit in more crossovers. Still a wonderful movie.

I think Nolan does fantastic work with adaptations, as we can see with Batman and The Odyssey: Though I DO understand people’s complaints that they’re not accurate to the source material. Specifically with The Odyssey… I mean to pull THAT story from the moderately priced mini-van! Wild.
