My 2nd grader has to do weekly reading logs, and every entry this week was the book "How to be a Math Genius," until the final day, when he switched to the instruction booklet for Majora's Mask (he has no interest in the actual game, he just really likes N64 instruction manuals)

Got an x-ray done and then was told I’d need to physically mail the CD they gave me with the images to the specialist’s office two towns over.

I was having the coolest dream last night. I don't remember the exact plot, but I remember I'd just summoned a dragon... and then my kid woke me up to ask "what if there was a slap chop made of lego?"

James and I just got back from open house at his school where we got to meet his teacher and see the classroom he’ll be in this year. The entire room is Animal Crossing themed. I’m genuinely jealous and losing my mind

Happy 13th anniversary to Final Fantasy XIV! This is just a handful of the pieces of art I made inspired by the game over the years, from 2019-2023, as many as I could fit in a post on here. You can see the progress I made in that time!

James: I made a level with the rule "Baba is float and sink." If that was in real life, it would mean he was neutrally buoyant me *frantically googling when school starts up again*: oh, neat

We're playing a game in age order, so James just turned to my mom and me and asked, "Which of you is older...?"

So, the popsicles taste good, but the two darker colors are nearly indistinguishable through the wrappers, I can’t remember which is which anyway, and the third flavor looks like this…

We've been playing Chain of Memories, and James has been trying to figure out how many members of the Organization there are, since I won't tell him. He heard one of them call Marluxia 11 today, and told me, "I'm guessing there are 12, 14, or 15. Those seem like good numbers of guys"

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.
A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.

I just realized this pattern of mispronunciations my kid makes is just the opposite of people who say “nucular” for nuclear He consistently says words like particlear, reglear, binoclears

My childhood unironically
A panel from a manga, idk which one, Captain Tsubasa and Kagurabachi’s lovechild for all I know, saying “HAVE YOU EVER READ A BOOK WITH A PERSONAL PAN PIZZA ON THE LINE?!!” because I was risking it all for some pizza hut as a kid.
