Most of Biden's pardons will pretty awful, but this inevitable pardon is really going to piss me off when it finally happens.

The more I learn about Bluesky, the more I absolutely hate the platform. I remember when Bluesky was announced and there was all this talk about account portability and decentralization. Most users don't care about that, but I do. Where is it, or was that all a lie?

I got about 500 emails to get to today. I've barricaded myself in my office. I'm feeling shoegaze. Any recommendations? I'm starting with the obvious.

I do appreciate GOG giving Blizzard the middle finger, offering discounts for the Warcraft Games and committing to keeping the games updated in the future. Warcraft 1 & 2 get pulled from GOG in 10 days. The discount code is "MakeWarcraftLiveForever" for those interested. I'd keep an eye on Diablo as well, that's probably the next to get axed. #gamestr #retrogaming

I rarely get sick, but when I do, it's almost always my fault. It all comes down to sleep. If I choose not to go to bed at a decent hour for a stretch, its over. I wonder how many people out there get colds and flus because they aren't getting the sleep they need.

It is funny watching people freak out about the Hunter Biden pardon. Everyone knew it was coming, why is this shocking?

I noticed Mortal Kombat Trilogy was on sale on GOG. It's a bummer that the PC version uses the PS1 assets and not higher resolution images like you would find in an arcade version. With the exception of Johnny Cage, everything could be pulled from older arcade releases. Oh well, the PS1 version works well enough. #gamestr #retrogaming

I don't always jump-start cars with dead batteries, but when I do, I always talk myself through the process like I'm defusing a bomb.

No hits on the second generation of video games either, let's see if there are any nostriches out there with third generation consoles sitting under their TV's. The third generation of video games refers to consoles from around 1983 to 1993. It is commonly referred to as the 8-bit era and includes the NES/Famicom, the Sega Master System, and the Atari 7800. Drop a picture in the replies from your collection for a badge. We'll tackle the fourth generation in January. #gamestr #retrogaming #videogames #gaming
