dissidia 1 and duodecim were SO good and I am deeply sad the series went in the direction it did.

I feel like Jared Leto as an all-star talent/charismatic force is a concept that Hollywood has been trying to gaslight me with since 2005.

I am going to see the NIN music video. That's about it. I do wish I could see far less of Leto.

Great piece; theres compelling character work in bits of Hades 2 but it feels like it's setting up a turn that never comes. It feels like a story written backwards from its mechanics, but in a way that comes out arguably worse than the first one

Trinket Studios are true stewards and great representatives everything the Chicago indie game scene values. Lotta heart. A communal effort. Pragmatic and optimistic in equal parts.

So give their new game a shot!

Finished @tkingfisher.com's What Stalks the Deep just in time to start reading @marthawells.com's Queen Demon. Feels like a wealth of reading riches.

A friend and I were laughing this weekend as I talked up Kingfisher's new book, and we both meant different ones released in the past few months.

Local Chicago news is covering a lot of what is happening. I am not seeing this reported in any detail in national outlets (I assume it might get there eventually) but the harm is being done right now. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/t...

Tear gas deployed by federal agent in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood

Reports emerged of multiple immigration raids on Friday on Chicago's Northwest Side, including one in which tear gas was deployed by an agent.

Turn 42, decide to do some journaling to sort out thoughts, put the latest Cate le Bon on and chuckle as I look at the song it stopped at after I paused.

A music player showing that Cate le Bon's Is It Worth It (Happy Birthday)? song was playing before paused.

Anyway, since this is likely to be their last tour in the US where they're headlining I was glad to be able to tell teen me I still admire Shirley stomping and singing at age 59 in a city that helped start Garbage.
