The French-language version of It was split into three books, the third of which had an illustration of a giant spider tearing off a kid's arm

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

Set up my PS5 for the first time in a year and wound up finally finishing Astro’s Playroom. Don’t know why I slept on that game for so long, it’s really charming

In my mind, this predates the 2600, since I didn't see an Atari until later in life. But I guess this is kind of a 1.5?

Every time I think it's time to put UFO 50 down for a bit, I wind up picking up another game and getting sucked back in. Truly an incredible collection of games

I fired up UFO 50, picked out a game basically at random and then spent 2.5 hours clearing it. This completely rules

I don't think anything in my life has made me feel older than seeing this comment underneath a video of The Daves I Know on YouTube

Flu day 3: Woke up at 2 AM drenched in sweat, my brain frantically trying to figure out mission objectives for every Resident Evil jumbled up into one game. Took me 10 minutes to realize that I didn’t actually need to do that and go back to sleep. Hope your year is off to a great start!
