Quick, give Talarico money so he can afford to make more ads that ask for money!

OK. The fact that Widow's Bay won more Emmys in a year than anyone ever makes me feel justified in starting all my conversations with "Have you seen Widow's Bay yet?" for the last few month.

Is it weird that I have a crush on Patricia from Widow's Bay?

If you haven't watched Widow's Bay, there is still time to correct this horrendous personality defect.

Ugh. Silo season 3 is off to a terrible start. You don't get to start this badly unless you drop a whole season at once. Will I have the will to come back weekly until in two months it pays off? No.

Gotta love those autogenerated subtitles

Alex O'Connor interviewing Rhett McLaughlin saying, "Your wife, if I'm not mistaken, was a student of Bart Ehrman." The subtitles read, "Your wife, if I'm not mistaken, was a student of Bartman."

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was good. And it just goes to show that if you want to do something good in an established world, you have to do it in the window of time before (or after) some ham-fisted moron screwed up the universe. Or else you have to jump WAAAY back of forward.

The Comedy Mothership's vibe is sooooo fucked. Having 10 muscle douches wanding me and patting me down before I can go listen to jokes? $12 for a beer? I've been to The Creek and The Cave numerous times and it's sooo much better. This place fucking sucks.

I'm well on my way to being a solitary weirdo now. There was a mosquito in the bathroom with me, so I shut the door and yelled, "You think I'm locked in here with you? YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!"

Backrooms was like if House of Leaves were less scary because we spent a ton of time just sort of looking at the monster and explaining it rather than spending the time in the weird space.

Here's an obscure(ish) Final Fantasy 6 Meme that made me laugh:

"Suplex" with the train meme upside down: It's a reference to the Ghost Train battle in Final Fantasy 6 where the martial artist can suplex the train just like it's any other monster

I don't know who needs to hear this but "funny" negative Steam reviews hurt developers. "I haven't seen my wife and kids in 6 days after starting to play this game" - Negative review It's not good y'all.
