Chip's Challenge hits the Switch. Yeah, I didn't see that coming, either. (www.nintendo.com)

The classic puzzle game Chip's Challenge, which made its debut on the Atari Lynx thirty-five years ago (oy vey), has now resurfaced on the Nintendo Switch. For those curious, this is the Lynx game running on an emulator, as opposed to the PC version, which has a higher resolution and a wider view of the playfield, but unsettling...

This is MAGA, ladies and gentlemen. If they're not actively doing stuff like this, they're at least thinking about it, and they sure don't have a problem with it.

‘Your Product Is Killing People’: Tech Leaders Denounced Over Child Safety (www.nytimes.com)

Lawmakers on Wednesday denounced the chief executives of Meta, TikTok, X, Snap and Discord, accusing them of creating “a crisis in America” by willfully ignoring the harmful content against children on their platforms, as concerns over the effect of technology on youths have mushroomed....

Zuckerberg responded by saying, "Oh my God! I've violated Asimov's first rule! What have I DOOOOONE?!" and exploding on the spot.

Life sucks, no doubt, but you're here and you have to get used to it. The best advice I can provide is slurp up all the good moments you can and savor the taste, so their memories will get you through the hard spots. Repeat until dead.

This seems to happen with progressive rock at alarming levels. They just reach a point where they take their pretentious bullshit a little too far, and the fans grow weary of it. You saw that with Jethro Tull, which pushed its luck with A Passion Play after scoring a critical success with Thick as a Brick. Yes took it too far with Topographic Oceans. I'm sure ELP has an album where they pushed the envelope a little too far and pushed away the audience in the process. Unfortunately, that had a pendulum effect, with ELP releasing the wimpy Love Beach in an attempt to reel back in those lapsed fans.

Man, now you just trollin'.

I get a laugh out of Sisko doing a silly child's dance in Lethal Candyland, in that episode of DS9 when they make first contact with a bunch of gambling aliens. "Allamarane! Count to four! Allamarane! Then three more!" It's those little moments in Star Trek where respected actors humiliate themselves for the sake of the plot that are just so great to watch. See also Armin Shimerman as the silvery announcement box in one of the early TNG episodes.

Self-hate is one hell of a drug.

When was the last time you purchased something at a vending machine?

I usually avoid them because of the mark-up, but yesterday I was in the mood for a soda and didn’t feel like going into a store and interacting with the cashier, so I bought one out of a vending machine. I enjoyed it. What about you? When was the last time you used a vending machine, and what did you buy?

I'm wary of using vending machines lately. You can use a debit card on the soda machines, but they'll charge you much more than the cost of the soda, and not refund you the difference for several days. I think that sucks.

If right-wing douchebags like these were actually replaced, what would we have lost? Nothing of value, certainly.

DeSantis tried to out-Trump Trump's awfulness, and for all his social awkwardness, he's likely smarter than Trump. So I don't think he was any sort of improvement.

Boomers won’t part with their homes, and that’s a problem for young families (www.cnn.com)

Buying a family-sized home with three or more bedrooms used to be manageable for young people with children. But with home prices climbing faster than wages, mortgage rates still close to 23-year highs and a shortage of homes nationwide, many Millennials with kids can’t afford it. And Gen Z adults with kids? Even harder....

Gee, boomers are being selfish! Who would have guessed?

Amazon's no longer any good at shipping, and Google's no longer any good at searching. What a terrible year to be a tech nerd.

Final Fight MD Hits its Halfway Point in Development (www.youtube.com)

The first three stages of the game are fully playable in the beta currently available on Xavier's Patreon page, taking you through the bar, into the wrestling ring with a handful of Andores,...

God made herpes, and I don't want that, either.
