Well. The problem has been resolved. She came to me with divorce papers yesterday. I talked about it a lot, but I never really planned to do it. It was just therapy to say it and argue out my side. Basically, she found a new group of friends, and she has been spending a lot of time with them...

Whoa. DC Showcase: Death was really good. Really resonated. Especially the part about how art was when he was younger.

I bought a Switch and Animal Crossing at the beginning of the lockdown because my kids were begging me. They were sold out everywhere, and I just happened by sheer luck to be in Walmart when a shipment came in. Anyway, all of us thought AC was the most boring game we ever played. Even watching...

The story is nice, and the visuals are nice. Even on Hard mode, though, The New Order is really easy. I haven't tried Colossus to say either way yet, but it's just something to keep in mind. Even the bosses went down pretty easy on Hard Mode. The only place I got stuck had no boss at all. It was...

They were wired positive earth. I remember the big sticker under the hood.

Would be fine in an MG.

I actually like Deca-dence quite a bit. It's kind of a reversal of the whole "trapped in a game world" subgenre. On another note, this new trend of having the cast's faces change at the end of the intro just kind of drives the point home that most anime character designs are just Mr. Potatoheads.

You know, I saw that and thought, "someone's going to read that as 7 being part of TNG", but I was just moving onto the next example from the Trek verse. For TNG it was really Troi and Yar. Crusher, too. Classic "nurturer" role casting. But especially Troi.

FYI, for all you "walled garden" people who love to hate macs, there's always a way around. Not sure how people think you can't install pirated software. I would argue that it's actually easier on a mac since nothing "installs" on a mac, except some preference files. Everything else lives in a...

I resemble that remark. But yeah. I'll happily rank which ones belong at the bottom, but then again, I think they all kind of do for some things. I mean, I love TNG (and trek in general), but even when I was a teenager I was old enough to realize they treated women pretty crappy (for example)...

I feel like Dark Souls pulled off one of the most successful marketing propaganda schemes ever. They managed to convince a bunch of fans that the single most frustrating feature of most video games was the core mechanic of their games, and that it was now somehow fun. Falling off the ledge a...

She does but I don’t let my kids have a cell phone at night. They would just be on it instead of sleeping. No phones, video games or TVs in the rooms at night. I am dead set against it because they will not self regulate. I don’t see any reason they need any of those at night anyway. 1593922240...

Follow-up: First, she's fine. We have scheduled a counselor, and she's talking openly about it. I think this was a little cry for help mixed with a lot of teen drama. But like I said, I'm taking it seriously. It actually turns out it wasn't Alexa who called 911. It was her friend who she was...

I’m not sure about parental controls. I mean, she’s 13. I watched everything at 13 (except outright sexually explicit stuff). I know things are a bit more over the top now. But this is a case by case thing to me. This show is unusual and I think it needs to be treated as such. It’s probably...

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant Meh. "Meh" sums up this movie. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't really anything either. It was just so generic and bland. It was like an episode of Goosebumps or something. Even the title theme and animations were super-generic. This movie was like the...

Yeah but if MASH said suicide is painless, and you're cool for doing it, and you'll get everything you as the target viewer seeks out of life by doing it.

Last night, I learned what happens when you tell Alexa you don't feel like living anymore. The entire police and fire departments show up at your house. I know this because that's what my 13 year old daughter did. To be clear, I don't think she was actually having true suicidal thoughts, and...

Whoa weird. It's like I was bitten by a libertarian zombie and I'm slowly changing.

Maoyu and Spice and Wolf I'm putting these together despite having watched them at very different times, because they have a similar feel to me. It was like watching an educational video on economics and government instead of a fictional story. Also, the censorship practice of nippleless boobs...
