My TAPEZOID MARK III is finally finished!!
It took almost five months, and this is actually my second attempt at this iteration.
There is no greater sense of satisfaction than booting up a fighting game to play with a controller you poured your blood and sweat into.

As I was writing a check to the guy who installed our new garage door, he took a moment to tell me that he had been doing installs for about 21 years and had probably installed a million garage doors. As I nodded and smiled, he added, "Getting kind of tired of it."

I’m 100% not joking when I say that REH and fighting games are the solution to today’s “positive masculinity crisis”.

Right, because nobody cares about open heart surgery until they need it themselves.
But “we put a man on the moon” is a tidy story about “us” as a nation (or a species) that we get to tell ourselves.

I get it from a narrative perspective.
Kitty Hawk to Apollo 11 was 66 years; many people experienced both in their lifetime (and everything between).
66 years from 1969 is 2035 and the triumphs just aren’t as narratively simple.

Bleach is a landmark in anime that posed the question "WHAT if the main character had no flaws and was fine and won everything and was really boring and would have introspective dreams during convenient times when he couldn't best somebody?"

My favorite wild fantasy in movies is when someone keeps trying to persuade their shut-in friend to go out. Like...imagine begging an introvert to do stuff. Its exhausting.

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?
