Man. Tonight I vibed with my daughter over the new Ms. Rachel vinyl and it was so rad. She was so intrigued by the turntable and where the sound was coming from, just bouncing to the music. No screens. Grabbing books off the book shelf in silence. Listening. It ruled. Also, these arrangements 😘👌

Raise your hand if you accidentally bought the Mortal Kombat Original Motion Picture Score instead of the Motion Picture Soundtrack as a kid and were extremely disappointed at the lack of “Techno Syndrome” aka “Mortal Kombat!” And you were ashamed to go to school the next day 🙋‍♂️

Happy birthday, Metroid. One of the most satisfying gaming experiences I’ve had was playing the 5 2D games back-to back. The enhancements to Zero and Samus Returns really tie together a satisfying cohesive story across all. (4 pictured here before Dread dropped). Fav: Zero Mission

Hey. Corey Feldman’s Donatello is the best Donatello. Smart, but not showy or nerdy. Reserved and chill. Probably the only version of a TMNT brother that would be tolerable irl. Thanks for listening.

“Super Nintendo” by @mackeza.bsky.social I flew through this read. As close to a “behind closed doors” of Nintendo as we’ll likely get (for some time). Equal parts interesting, nostalgic, and insightful, even for an enthusiast like myself. Brilliant chaptering — games as a lens into the company.

The receptionist at the doctor’s office was shocked/impressed that I knew he was vibing to Lava Reef Zone at his desk. (GOAT Sonic track.) When I left, he gave me this drawing.

@chelseabot.bsky.social I’m reading your @petevolk.bsky.social Polygon Exit interview. I wrote a very similar paragraph on my blog when Polygon sold. zerocounts.net/2025/05/01/p... It’s awesome that we have a shared experience of what inspired us to want to work at Polygon. I’m gald one of us did!

“What I Talk About When I Talk About Running” by Haruki Murakami. A pleasant, peaceful read that as a runner both resonates and motivates.

4 cups into Mario Kart World and I feel what it gains in chaos it loses in charm. The courses all vibe similar and I’m having difficulty parsing the theme of each, which is a big part of what I loved about MK8 — the beauty, which I touched on in a piece about Wii U: zerocounts.net/2014/06/01/h...

My banner notifications are mad messed up. I get banners for apps I’m in. (Video attached) I also get blasted with banners of all of my Lock Screen notifications when I unlock my phone. Anyone else?

I saw them open for The Shins in 2017. Same tour? I don’t remember a podium, but we were hard house right. I remember them vibing hard on “I Ain’t the One” as twilight turned into night. Pretty rad.

Holy shit yes. Amazed that a perfect film could get more perfect. In 2020, we were planning some pizza themed decor in the house and I edited this blu-ray capture to frame.
