I hate that I got curious enough to look into this because what the fuck

I’ve seen a bunch of clips of this podcast before and it’s your pretty typical comic book/nerd IP podcast but nothing bad, until this clip where one of the guys talks about watching all the Harry Potter movies, for the first time in the year of our lord 2025.

I’m just *tired* 🙃

Screenshot of a TikTok comment that reads “@Jake Higgins: None of this matters, J.K. Rowling is a vile transphobic bigot who continues to use the money and notoriety she gets from this IP to actively harm trans people. No amount of nostalgia is worth that, it’s okay to let it go.”

Yes, it really feels like a warm, nostalgic hug! Ocean Avenue was the first album I ever bought in the summer of 2006 and that was what got me into music as much as I am now, so they've always been really special to me.

The Battlefield 6 FOMO is so real right now.

Everything I've seen from it looks like a total blast and such a good return to form after how rocky 2042 was. Battlefield 4 was a favorite of mine when I was younger and all the clips and such I've seen give me those feelings.

I've been following this artist on TikTok for a few months now who paints Pokemon art on rocks and it's legitimately the most wholesome and joyful thing you'll ever see.

Here's the link!! She's such an incredible artist, too. www.tiktok.com/@tinkywooble...

YouTube recommended me a Fall Out Boy live set from their tour last year that's 2 hours long, and watching this is only making me realize even more how dearly I miss live music, and I really hope I get to go to a show again soon 🥺

The ones on MTV after the music video blocks in the morning were all so awful and cringe and yet I watched every single one of them.

Went to Texas Roadhouse tonight for the first time in ages, and I swear, their fresh bread rolls could single-handedly get me through The Horrors (tm).

It's been a rough couple of weeks (months) and I'm burnt the fuck out trying to make everything work while also being chronically ill 🖤

I'll see y'all in a week or so!

A screenshot of Ash's discord announcement from this morning.

It reads:
I'm sorry y'all, no stream today

I'm gonna be real, I've been having a really rough couple of weeks. Between the stress around the pp push, pushing for full YT monetization, draining my savings to make sure Puff gets his meds, my ccv, my wisdom teeth tomorrow and good ole SADs....I just don't think I can push through it today.

I'm not sure when I'll be back to stream, it depends on how I'm healing but I'm hoping I'll be good to go by this time next week!

In the meantime, please continue to sub to my YT and watch videos (Mortuary Assistant should be out tomorrow), and upgrade your sub on Twitch if you can!

I do also have a ko-fi goal, but as always no pressure 💜

The TwitchCon FOMO is so real, not even really for the con itself but just being able to see everyone 😭

Welp, Arcane has already ripped my heart out and made me feel all the things and I am not okay!!

It's so good though, I cannot wait to watch more.

Haven't had a chance to see this yet but I hear nothing but good things and I'm so intrigued to see what this director does with Resident Evil. Those Mila Jovovich movies are peak guilty pleasures for me but this might actually be legit good, fingers crossed.

Totally forgot that Splinter Cell animated series dropped on Netflix yesterday, so I know what I'll be watching this weekend!

Fingers crossed it's good and sparks some momentum for the franchise, we need a new game, gosh darn it!!
