Not even hiding in the bathroom would help me. I hate most gatherings/parties (unless it's nerds or car people) and I'd only be able to relax once I got into the car to leave. (Maybe that's why I love cars so much, they're my safe space. :D) I felt sympathetic anxiety for the woman reading the...
Me: Hey, I haven't been to Slashdot in years. I'll go visit.
Also me: Now I remember why I stopped going to Slashdot.*

Our Flag Means Death
This series is crazy fun. It's the queer pirate rom-com we needed in these dark times. People are calling it "What We Do in the Shadows with Pirates", but I think it goes deeper than Shadows (which I love). Lots of quirky, silly fun, but it's not afraid to have some darker...
I'm in motorsports. It's a sport. It's physically and mentally exhausting, and I'm just in amateur SCCA rallycross. At the pro level of motorsports, you have to be physically/mentally fit like any other athlete. (At varying levels, apparently IndyCars just murder F1 drivers because IndyCars...
I get what you're saying. My word is 'nourish'.
I know it's a perfectly good word, but it's been so overused and misused, especially in marketing to sell overpriced snake oil, that it's lost meaning to me and I despise it. All sorts of products and services, it seems, can 'nourish' you. Or your...
I don't mind "love at first sight", but even I got whiplash here. I swear, I was watching the high school dance scene--Tony and Maria have not met yet--looked away at my iPad for a moment, and when I looked back at the TV, they were together and completely and totally in love with each other...
Hey, another Addam's Family fan! I played quite a bit for a while in college. If I had the money and space for a pinball machine, that would be it.
I'm not a fan of the digital pinball, though. The cool thing about pinball is all the mechanical gadgets. Digital just looks so boring (and also...
Peacemaker season one is done, and season two has been announced!
This series was way better than I expected it to be when I first heard about it. I thought it would simply be ultra-violent hijinks, and while it certainly was, it also gave the characters real depth.
Boba hasn't been portrayed as "bad" in canon, just very angry about losing his father. In The Clone Wars, he was driven to get revenge on Mace Windu for killing Jango, but he showed compassion to the troopers Aurra Sing wanted to kill, he cared about the cadets from the Endeavor, he showed...
I had the same thought, since the Armorer knew so much about the Darksaber, but it doesn't fit the time frame: this is only about five years after RotJ, and it's been established in the Rebels epilogue that
So unless they're retconning a lot of stuff, there's no way she could be the Armorer.
Just watched episode four. Peacemaker seems to be going the same route as Doom Patrol: completely bonkers, but more complex than it appears. Lots of revelations in this episode, holy shit!
I've watched Episode 1 so far. I really like Leota. With the reveals about her, there's a lot of potential for her character and I hope they don't disappoint.
I'm concerned with what will happen to Topps' non-sports stuff, specifically Star Wars, but there's no information at all on what will happen to those after being being bought by a sports-focused company. Fanatics does seem to have a Star Wars license (they have sports team x Star Wars stuff)...
Encanto
I think Disney got their movies mixed-up this year, because Encanto (a regular Disney release) feels way more like a Pixar movie than Luca. It's about family expectations and fitting in, and can get fairly deep (much deeper than Luca). It doesn't shy away from a tragic backstory and...
Finished the final season of Lost in Space on Netflix. I'm going to miss this show, it's been fun to watch. This is what a remake/reboot should be. It kept the spirit of the original but did its own thing to update it. A good mix of serious and humor, with a hint of cheesiness. The cast was...
