A 1990's-style video game ad for my Suikoden 1 & 2 book from Boss Fight Books. It features a mockup of the book cover over a red and black map, surrounded by screenshots and logos. The words "Coming 2026" blaze above in fiery letters.

I don't know why it bothers me so much but it's like the biggest story for Louisville right now

we are five minutes into the broadcast of the Louisville game and they haven't even mentioned Kasean Pryor

Local Barnes & Noble has Hillbilly Elegy in the True Crime section. 👏

PHOTO NEGATIVE: Space Harrier and the Return to Lost Negative Worlds YouTube video by Retrograde Amnesia

Our first full video INFINITE PERFECT production covers the intersection between the bizarro world of film negatives and the fantasy zone of Space Harrier. It's a wild ride.

I was just goofin' my troop the other day

When you do everything you can to hide the fact that your game is about beating the shit out of ghosts and bears but your game is about beating the shit out of ghosts and bears.

No I will not start posting about sports again sorry

Love watching football coaches make worse clock management decisions thans my nine year old sons do in Madden

Glad I discovered that @markennis.bsky.social is on bluesky. Have spent the better part of two football seasons googling "mark ennis twitter" to get his thoughts on Louisville football games since I deleted my twitter account.

after some deep soul searching, i am deeply saddened that we only spoke about the toyota echo for one (1) episode of our 44 podcast episode exploration of FF8

you'll sound great but it'll pick up everything. so if you sound echoey you may want to treat the area with some curtains or something
