This is a great topic! I have more than one kinda odd hobby.

I got a bunch of old newspaper comic strips of Mary Worth from 1947 and 1951 (almost two full years’ worth) that I’m putting into ~3”x12” poly bags so I can read them more easily. I need to put them into a book of some sort.

I also got some color Sunday strips from 1951 but they’re a crazy size so I may need to put those in a separate book.

I think they’re so cool though! The strips have ads on the back from the time period.

Oh, that’s just a risky proposition, that’s all!

I would wager most people don’t know themselves well enough on psychedelics to trust watching weird shit with someone who is also on psychedelics.

I saw the poor kid’s hair in the thumbnail and was like “oh no.”

There are a LOT of brown squirrels in the Midwest.

I’d make sure to cut my hair AND wear a hat if I was going squirrel hunting and had hair like that.

Yes, thank you! I knew I read somewhere that she really liked it. We had that book when I was a kid and I read through it.

I really appreciate this, you just saved me at least $20.

Microsoft’s user experience is awful at every step in a browser. I wanted to like XBox but it’s clear why they’re losing.

I think you’re actually right in what you mean though.

“Gaffe” implies he’s embarrassed. There’s no way he’s embarrassed, he’s incapable of feeling real human emotions.

I don’t find this odd at all! Just difficult to clean up if it drips on the coil.

Similarly, I have made a decent number of s’mores in the microwave with marshmallow fluff.

Which members of Rush earned PhDs?

In short, the music licenses for Rock Band 4 are expiring.

On Sunday, October 5, 2025, Rock Band 4 turns 10. What a ride it’s been,” says Harmonix’s statement. “With this milestone comes one big change: the original licenses for the core soundtrack are expiring. Because of that, Rock Band 4 will be removed from the PlayStation and Xbox digital stores. If you already own the game, nothing changes — you’ll keep full access and still be able to download the game and songs to any new, compatible devices. The same applies to Downloadable Content (DLC): songs will come down as they hit the 10-year mark, but anything you’ve purchased will remain in your library.

FYI, “Gaffe” doesn’t imply he has made an attempt to backtrack. It’s just a blatant mistake or faux pas.

I have been really curious about Sonic Racing Crossworlds, thanks for the blurb about it!

I have played Mario Kart prior to this gen (I don’t have a Switch 2) and really like Sonic’s characters. I might wait to see if it goes on sale because full price seems a little steep.

Try playing an old PCM wave file from a 68k based Macintosh or Amiga on a PC.

I really appreciate how specific this is. It sounds like it’s from experience.
