I can't believe this is actually happening. Regardless of however else 2026 turns out, at least we got this.

I did not expect to like it at all, and then finished every single thing. It is a surprisingly cozy game. My only regret is that there's no VR version on PS5.

Well, with this, your trifecta is 2/3 of the way there. Just The Apple left now.

True. But what really impresses me is the amount of effort they put into this. Four commentaries? The original 4.0 audio track, in addition to lossless new ones? Documentaries? 4K/HDR with a scan from the original camera negative? The previous Blu-Ray was the bare minimum in effort to release it.

I just received this meme from @richardswanauthor.bsky.social who is currently reading The Tower of the Tyrant. It is accurate. I refuse to explain. You'll just have to read the book.

A meme with the caption "When god made Fola." It shows a cartoon of god pouring something from a cup into a mixture. He says "just a little bit of horniness," then "oops" as he spills the entire contents of the cup of horniness into the mixture.

The animated version also worked out pretty well.

Some of the most effective emotional manipulation in the history of cinema. That ending with the soaring Williams score, and the performances of the kids and the wizard puppetry, is the ultimate Voight-Kampf test.

I never thought a book I'd write would end up in a Valentine's Day sale, but I guess it's just that kind of year. So, if you want to find out what Filipino Goddesses and Were Horses are willing to do for love and friendship, have I got a novella for you: rebellionpublishing.com/sale/

There might be some hope for those people, since what you're saying indicates they actually understand how tariffs work, instead of operating under the impression tariffs mean the other country pays the USA, while prices for Americans remain unchaged at the store.

I still occasionally watched both, but Transformers was helped enormously by having a movie that was animated by Toei.

Great choice. I only finally got around to reading this a few months ago, after having first been interested in the art style due to Knights of Sidonia on Netflix, then the Blame! animated feature. Really amazing art and vibe.

If you care about your image and audio quality, a 4K disc with lossless audio is still going to give your TV and home theater system a better experience than a compressed stream. I mean, The Abyss in 4K looks and sounds amazing.

Unrelated, but The Abyss finally came out in 4K, and man, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this movie.

The Graven (space opera / metaphysical SF) is eligible for Best Series for the Hugos, and I've found it to be one of those strange moments where I get a hit of "the trilogy is DONE" like I've spent so many years in that world every day, I don't feel let go yet.. 🖤 🤍 💜

I'm on a Windows desktop PC. Honestly I was a bit surprised because when I bought this new external drive, it included software with the option to mirror any changes in save files, even letting you choose specific folders. The one I used for years previously backed up things at the end of the day.

Wayne Santos @waynesantos.bsky.social · 28/01/2024

It's not a cloud-based solution, but I ended up just buying an external drive plugged into my desktop that automatically mirrors any changes I make, so if something happens to the drive in the desktop, the external still has it. Of course, if something happens to the whole room, I'm screwed.
