That is pretty much the whole video game industry at this point. Everything is becoming more and more half-a*sed with nothing new or even remotely good being made.

I am looking forward to GTA 6 being a bust. Hopefully that will finally set the industry back enough that things start to improve once again.

I'm at least thankful that Nintendo is still pushing out some great games from time to time, despite having an underpowered console in comparison to PS5 and Series X. Looking forward to playing the Super Mario RPG remake soon.

Former First Lady Rosalyn Carter died.

Reminder that back in November of 1993, Sonic the Hedgehog made his debut as a parade float, but unfortunately met the demise of deflating due to a street lamp putting a hole in it.

Now that Thanksgiving is long over, I think it's time I got on my little soapbox to get something off of my chest. I prefer the holiday being about the lord giving us what we have, rather than celebrating the slaughter of land of several nations and people. We can be better than this, but as a country we prove that gorging food for a holiday based on staining blood on a land continues to show how much other countries rightfully hate us for glorifying our ancestors in such a manner. Thanksgiving should be a solemn holiday and a reminder of what our founding fathers did.



Okay, done with my rant.

Beautiful sentiment, Ben. 

I went to Kohl's today and I was looking at the gag Christmas gifts. And one of 'em was a toilet seat made of grass.

Sort of gives a whole new meaning to the word Lawn Chair, doesn't it? *Rim shot*

And have you heard about the Potty Piano?

My dad has been battling dementia for a few years, but today is the first day he absolutely did not know I was me. He thought I was a longtime friend of his named Jerry. He was talking about me, to me. Having to process this now. It's not unexpected, and yet I still feel blindsided by it.

Sorry to hear that. I've witnesses the mental deteioration of several family members. Watching our heroes succumb to age is so incredibly difficult. I encourage you to keep on being supportive regardless. Those moments can be ruthlessly savage on emotional health but I choose to be unrelentingly compassionate so as to almost spite death.

A lot of people fear they will die a slow, protracted death but I'm confident mine will be swift as involving putting together a piece of Ikea furniture for my wife.

Swift and IKEA don't really go that well together.
