Today I lamented to my 5-year-old that I had to call an electrician to finish my fan installation because I wasn't 100 percent positive about our wiring situation. He said "You should've taken a note about the old wiring before putting in the new fan" and I did one of those old comic strip pratfalls

It's wild how much of the pro-genAI discourse comes from people who just fundamentally don't *get* art. They think every aspect of it boils down to the final 'product.' They're incapable of understanding that what we hear, watch, and read are the process, not the outcome.

I've been a parent for almost 6 years and I can say with confidence that it's insanely easy. You just have to have unfathomable, heretofore unseen god-tier levels of patience.

Lots of games to choose from as cover stories in 2026, and Onimusha is for sure a great one. But as someone who worked in magazines for a long time I can feel the pain buried within these dueling cover choices

It's okay to hop on a trend but I draw the line at sharing a graphic that pluralizes anime as "animes." I'm also too lazy. Cartoons are cool.

I'm gonna see the new movie tomorrow and am very excited but for my money this spine alignment is the scariest thing the Resident Evil series has ever done

I started a new playthrough of Donkey Kong Bananza with our five-year-old this weekend and, man, that is still hands-down the best Switch 2 game yet.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Harry Potter sucks incredibly hard and has *always* sucked and your life would be better served if you attached yourself to a decades-old property like Food Fighters or Barnyard Commandos.

The windup of the guitar solo in Michael Jackson's "Beat It" is heavily telegraphed, making it easy to parry.

15 days until the release of my next book, one that deals with a show that gave Batman's villains some of their most emotionally effective stories in history. So, I gotta know: Which BTAS villain do you relate to the most?

I think what we're missing from most modern FX-heavy movies is the "how did they do that?" factor. Watching INNERSPACE (1987) and constantly wowed by the effects, but if it were made today I wouldn't need to ask that question.

Well, it seemed to good to be true. I’m seeing some people claim that this company also employs a few humans, but either way, the quality of work I’ve seen definitely devalues professional localization. Guess I’m back to prioritizing my original to-be-read pile. What a shame!

If you write a headline that doesn't mention the subject of your story in any way whatsoever, you're an enemy. Unless you're under pressure from your editor to do so, I guess. Then they're the enemy. Enemies all around.

Maybe they something like it and I missed it, but @discotekmedia.bsky.social needs a "Danger Meter" for releases that are close to going out of print so I can prioritize those.

Adventures of Elliot is fine but, while I know there's a lot of testing involved in game development, issues like the overly-chatty companion really make me question whether or not they actually play their games before shipping them.

STEEL BALL RUN is the archetypal literary classic. It’s a timeless tale of a guy with spinning balls and a guy who can shoot his fingernails and toenails racing against a guy who can turn everything into dinosaurs to be the first to find all the pieces of a magical musty corpse.

If I were president all I'd do is make everyone number their sequels. Like, Alien Romulus has to be called Alien 7 or else.
