AAA Gaming is expensive. Not like playing 2019 indie gem "A Short Hike" or watching 1992 western classic "Unforgiven", so here's my review of those, among many other things instead; because I Can't Afford Wolverine. New video, check it out now 👇 youtu.be/RvR_3Srh-Kc

I have, like, other things I really need to write, but Tomlin's interview just hit me in my heart. Parkinson's is on the horizon for my dad, and I've been trying to get him to play CFB 27 to help with hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Mike Tomlin's joy made me think of him.

Hello site editors! Just putting it out there that I am NOT available for Duskbloods reviews. I am not good at Soulslikes, would not finish the game in time for embargo, and would write a very grouchy and unfair review! Retweet for visibility🙏

Parker @parkj0hn.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

this is pretty good stuff imo

Or, you could lose. You could admit defeat against the system. You could acknowledge that you’ve been bested. You could learn a lesson. You could try again. And again. And again.

And then, you reach the mountaintop. After losing for so long, you do it. Sometimes you barely eke it out, surviving by the skin of your teeth. Other times you create a build so broken, it feels like you shattered the whole system.

And doesn’t victory just taste so much sweeter when the bitterness of defeat is still so real, so fresh on your tongue?

last year was my first year doing fantasy football, and my biggest lesson I learned is that the best team names are puns based on your players. so I've done some brainstorming. any and all feedback welcome

Fantasy Team Name Ideas

- Always the McBridesmaids
- Nacual Selection
- Big Dicker Energy
- The Njig Is Up
- Easy Pickens
- Gibb and Tate
- You Telling Me Rashee Fried This Rice?
- Plenty Left In The Tank. Bigsby
- Mahomes and Watson
- Judge, Jeudy, Executioner
