#Fallout fandom has been toxic since the dawn of time. Remember No Mutants Allowed grognards flipping out about Bethesda getting the franchise? Fandom, fandom never changes. www.pcgamer.com/games/fallou...

Breaking Benjamin frontman pauses concert to rant about Fallout 4 modding beef: 'There was a modder in the community that was really mean to me'
The singer and guitarist spent several minutes asking fans to download his Fallout 4 'True First Person' mod after another modder criticized it.

Absolutely. I don't mean to make light of things when I say hold my beer. I'm aware a number of people were impacted and would have been in trouble if it had extended further - particularly for health and mobility concerns like CPAPs, scooters, etc. Glad electricity was restored quickly.

To the good gentle who just muttered about my hat being from the 1800s... It was created in the 1600s and had fallen out of favor by the 1800s. If you're going to gatekeep, at least get it right. Your sneakers didn't ruin my #Pennsic, I'm sorry my hat ruined yours.

Me on a boat, sailing poorly.

The family learned how to sail this weekend, or at least putter around the local reservoir on sailing dinghies. Lots of fun with knots, rigging up the boats, the completely different terms for everything, and getting to know the local sailing club.

The Brainy Borough! I'm off in the hinterlands of Hunterdon County now, but my son's travel soccer has been a great excuse for nostalgia trips around Jersey. "I used to live right over there, and there was an awesome store called Vintage Vinyl a block away..."

And we would argue on the Feff World guestbook so much that Joe Hewitt would create a social media website, which was a mistake in retrospect.

Extremely grateful for my team at the cancer center, but looking forward to seeing less of them. As my oncologist said, "Hopefully I'll never need to see you again!"

Russell Sprague @kingfox.bsky.social · 10/03/2026
But for now I can get my blood tested every few months, keep my fingers crossed, and keep on living. Apparently my complications were the subject of a expert panel discussion at the cancer institute this week. 🤣 I'm happier writing case studies than being the subject of one.

Russell Sprague @kingfox.bsky.social · 10/03/2026
Because the cancer was aggressive and widespread (stage 4a, 9 Gleason), there's a substantial chance of it returning at some point over the course of my lifetime. Then I'll need to enter into a round of treatment and deal with that fight.

Russell Sprague @kingfox.bsky.social · 10/03/2026
Based on how the cancer had spread to lymph nodes removed during the surgery and some of the nearby plumbing, they assumed it had spread to other systems and further treatment would be needed. For now? It's not!

Positive news! My PSA levels are under 0.1, in the undetectable range. If you don't have a prostate anymore, this is the biomarker to indicate presence of prostate cancer in the body.

When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life.
