I doubt it will be, but I’m hoping that the parents will be Kitty and Red.
- Comment on Woj: Harden's goal is to make Sixers so uncomfortable they decide they can't bring him to training camp.. 1 year ago:
He should shout “Morey!” every time he shoots the three and completely brick the shot.
- Comment on [Shams] NBA’s Christmas Day games for the 2023-24 season, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium: 1 year ago:
Would have preferred Warriors vs. Kings, but I get the appeal of the past two champs duking it out on Christmas.
- Comment on [Woj] ESPN Sources: The 76ers have ended trade talks on guard James Harden and plan to bring him back to training camp for start of the season. 1 year ago:
Bring out the fat suit!
- Comment on [Woj] New York Knicks G Josh Hart is finalizing a four-year, $81 million contract extension, Aaron Mintz, Dave Spahn and Steven Heumann of @CAA_Basketball tell ESPN. 1 year ago:
One of my favorite Blazers in the last 5 years and we didn’t even get him a full season. Congrats to both Hart and the Knicks!
- Comment on Rant: Frustration About Current State of Games Companies 1 year ago:
For me, the ethical dilemmas affect my enjoyment of games by how involved a scandal/cause of scandal is ingrained into the game. For example, I think Rowling’s views are horrendous and I would absolutely stay away from projects that she has influence in; however, I still picked up Hogwarts Legacy because the studio spoke out against her views, and even included representation in their game for those who she spewed hatred against. The story was almost entirely original, so Rowling’s influence was pretty much restrained to her having created the general world, and some minor character lore. The developers and designers did not cause the hate, so while it sucks some portion of my purchase went to Rowling (even if it was just in a license they paid, the success of the game would likely inspire them to make another, resulting in her getting more cash). It’s difficult to want to punish the teams that built the game when someone who was largely hands-off is the reason it felt a little gross to play.
On the other hand, I’ve avoided High on Life because you need to hear Roiland talk through the majority of the game (until the patch replaces his voice). Squanch Games was owned by him, which means his views are likely reflected in larger portions of the game. I would be constantly reminded of Roiland, and his larger role likely means he profits quite a bit from the game doing well. While it’s certain that Squanch Games has great people working for them that I wouldn’t want to ‘punish’ by their game doing poorly either, it’s just tough for me to separate them. (Also yes I’ve heard Roiland’s charges were dropped, but the judgement was worded in a way that made it clear it was due to lack of damning evidence and not that he was necessarily absolved of accusations).
I agree that it’s important to have discussions about topics and culture that surround projects like this so consumers can be aware of what their cash is supporting. Even though I did feel somewhat guilty buying Hogwarts, I also took the time to give $20 to The Trevor Project in an attempt to offset what Rowling would make from my purchase. Does that make up for it? Who knows.
- Comment on But have you tried Jerboa? 1 year ago:
Connect is great but I can’t get over how ugly I think the icon is, so I’ve been using Liftoff instead. Turns out I’m shallow when it comes to tech!
- Comment on How Should I Retro? (OC, Long Post) 1 year ago:
Talk about learning something new, all of that sounds like the best way to move forward with retro games if the budget allows. Even just the simplicity of connecting everything through HDMI would be worth putting together something, at least on a smaller scale.
Thanks for sharing all of that information!
- Comment on How Should I Retro? (OC, Long Post) 1 year ago:
Damn, that thing looks rad! I hadn’t heard of it before, but I had thought to include a section about modern retro systems like the Analogue Pocket, but it felt a little long when all was said and done. Thank you for sharing the video!
- Comment on How Should I Retro? (OC, Long Post) 1 year ago:
I feel the same exact way! That’s part of what inspired me to write this - I have a couple of games on my Wii U that I would love to play, but I can’t be bothered to dig it out of a box in the garage, get the chargers charged up, and find a space to plug everything in just to play a game for an hour or two for the nostalgia trip. Fortunately, Dolphin exists!
Thank you for reading!

- Comment on Joe Mazzulla: Derrick White will be our starting point guard 1 year ago:
Always love me some Derrick White, but I wonder if the C’s will still try to find a trade to upgrade at PG. Tends to be a fantasy goldmine too.
- Comment on [The Athletic] It's time for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to win. That starts with Team Canada 1 year ago:
Rooting for the young core! Shai and Chet are going to be a ton of fun to watch. Hopefully they can start fostering a winning culture and we can see what the team is capable of.
- Comment on [Lopez] NBA has suspended Spurs guard Devonte Graham for two games for pleading guilty to a DWI charge from the summer of 2022. 1 year ago:
Wonder how over the legal limit the guy was. Two games seem like nothing, especially since they’ll probably be served early in the season.
- Comment on Have you ever been so far as to even pretend to even want to go to do more like? 1 year ago:
I only do as much of what I hate as of which I like. I couldn’t picture being close or further yet it seems like I could.
