Domestic long distance calls used to cost money. Like a *lot* of money.

Then The Long Distance Wars happened.

Last night in a dream I was watching Haibane Renmei and there was a short chunky character in the Old Home that looked and sounded exactly like Bobby Hill. I woke up as I was checking on Dreamland-Wikipedia if PamelaAdlon was in the dub cast for Haibane Renmei...

Two weeks till I do a talk about starting a LAN party group in modern times. It's gonna be very little about LAN technicalities and nearly all 'Why PC gaming in person is awesome, we let broadband and voice chat kill it, and what it takes to convince people to bring their PCs to your basement'.

There are reasons my LAN parties operate one exactly three rules:
1) Consume legal substances responsibly.
2) Don't be a jerk.
3) Absolutely don't make Ashley further define rule #2.
I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

I would like to again point out that the Quake 3 server running in a docker from my basement still works 27 years later and you can play on it right now.

I'm just saying.
Anthem servers are shutting down on January 12, 2026 at which time the game will no longer be playable.

Transport Tycoon and by extension, OpenTTD. That said I can only play OpenTTD by importing the original TTD graphical assets and not the 'OpenGFX' they use now.

Thanks to BlueSky I'm checking out My Life Me, an animated series from Svetlana Chmakova of Drama Con fame. This is like... '2000's Webcomic: The Animation' in the best possible way.

We really need to move harder to bring back the 'Insane Gay People Live In An All Boys Dorm Together' genre.

Now for the anime about that manga that I was last reading 20 years ago.

"Root claims that the platform’s gender ratio “makes the Smurf village look like a feminist utopia”"

Ouch.
‼️A German hacker known as "Martha Root" dressed as a pink Power Ranger and deleted a white supremacist dating website live onstage

This happened during the recent CCC conference.

New Years Hangover Breakfast was banana bread French toast with Nutella and real Canadian maple syrup.

Starting 2026 with a bang.

People saying 'Screw 2025, this sucked, bring on 2026, it has to be better' clearly do not remember what happened after New Years Eve 2019.

I just saw three teen girls huddled in the snack aisle of the grocery store, consulting with ChatGPT over voice on how many bags of chips they need to buy for an event.

...I'm gonna need to add more rum to my egg nog.

The wikipedia for almost every timeless Christmas movie contains 'was a moderate box office hit on release in the United States.'.

What if I bought The THEA1200 just to emulate The Prevue Channel?

The real shame of Christmas not being in Japan what it is in the West is that you don't get a lot of options for Anime Christmas Ornaments.
