Are there wrestling fans that would watch any other option when they could be watching an Omega-Okada match? I feel like the answer should be no, but some people do like to pretend otherwise for some reason. The counter-programming has failed. Abort! #AEWFyterFest

Hey, something I learned today that might help someone else, if you're like me and one of your PS5 controllers is starting to get out of control stick drift, Dualsense controllers are on sale this week during Days of Play for twenty bucks off. Definitely worth it if you're looking for a new one!

Weird, when Leafs fans were pointing out that Sam Bennett deliberately tried to injure OUR goalie, everyone kept telling us that we were just whining and it was clearly an accident. Turns out, no, Sam Bennett really is a dirty piece of shit who does this stuff all the time, on purpose.

There is no way WWE would let someone in the building with a "More Gay Wrestling" sign, let alone put it on TV. I'm just saying. #AEWFyterFest

Well, TSN in Canada says I'm getting two hours of Dynamite and two hours of last Saturday's Collision, so let's see what actually happens! I wonder when AEW's Canadian TV rights are up for re-negotiation?

Not a bad State of Play, clearly at least some of it was "Now we can announce some Fall release dates since GTA 6 moved to next year." FF Tactics remake is probably the only thing I'm really into, but lots of stuff looked impressive!

People always make jokes about how Fast & Furious went from stealing DVDs to sending a car to space, but the original Mission Impossible movie was a relatively small heist movie, and the newest one is about literally preventing nuclear armageddon. It even took less movies to escalate that far!

I'm not saying the Switch 2 won't do well, it obviously will, but I'd say the lack of hype is because a lot of people looked at the price, then looked at the economy right now, then looked at the price again, and correctly said "Uhhh, I can't really afford a $750 (Canadian) console right now."

Spent the day removing all the footnotes from my manuscript and incorporating them directly into the text. They were a fun thing I picked up from reading too much Terry Pratchett, but it was a little ridiculous to think I could pull them off as he did. Now to figure out how to fix the first chapter

Took a shot and submitted my manuscript to a local place that I found out was accepting them. It went about as I expected, but I got some good feedback and motivation out of it! Self-publishing remains my best option, it seems, so I'd better get on it.

I have made the mature and responsible adult decision to not buy tickets to AEW All Out in Toronto. It's expensive, I'm old, I've seen my fair share of wrestling shows already, I'm just going to watch the PPV from my couch. Unless they have a Dynamite taping nearby that week. Then we'll see.

Honestly, if MIz left WWE (which he's not), I'd lean more towards him leaving wrestling and going home to his family instead of trying to go to AEW. He seems like a guy who would have saved his money and could easily not work again. Maybe he'd show up on The Challenge, I hear they need a new host.

Bigger accounts get to celebrate big numbers, but this is a milestone for me, so let's be happy that 100 people, for some reason, thought I was worth following here! If you are one of them, please explain this obviously poor decision.

I'm not saying we're about to put way too much pressure on a 19-year-old, but how many Leafs fans heard Easton Cowan won MVP at the Memorial Cup and are now thinking "It's okay, we have Mitch Marner 2.0 at home"?

Happy Pride Month to the entire LGBTQIA+ community! Now more than ever, it's important to show our support for people who just want to be treated exactly like everyone else and deserve all the same rights that we enjoy every day. And if you don't believe that, then I don't wish to know you.

I did wonder what would happen if Jason Mantzoukas somehow managed to win an episode of #Taskmaster. It did not disappoint.

Pleased to announce that after watching my old recap videos from when I used to stream and played Persona 4 Golden, I have been asked to voice the main character in the remake. They seemed to appreciate my angry, sarcastic take on the character. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Had a good friend talk me down off the writing ledge today, which helped a lot. Much less stressed about what I'm going to do getting forward to get this book published. Now I just need to survive the next four days of work to get a free day to do things!

Who among my mutuals wants to be the one who I bitch to in DMs about how badly I'm self-sabotaging actually publishing my book because I'm afraid of actually succeeding at something creative for once? Nobody? Can't blame you, it sounds terrible.

Why do I feel like Toni Storm made a bet backstage that she could make Mercedes break during this segment? #AEWDynamite

Well, I accomplished nothing related to my book this week. Also I'm mad at myself for not doing anything, and confused and worried about what I need to do next, and pretty sure I'm going to fuck it up no matter what I do. This is not ideal.

Mission Impossible was decent, if you're wondering. There were parts that went way too long because they wanted everything to be epic. The only real irritating part was when the characters spoke incredibly basic grade school-level French that I could both understand and tell they were using it wrong

Uhhh, being faced with all the work I have to do to actually publish this book I wrote may have pushed me into a little bit of a paralysis. Now I'm worried whatever I choose might be the wrong choice. Going to try and buckle down and make some sort of progress tomorrow.

Presented for your consideration, a wrestling company where everyone has completely bought in to working together so that the entire roster makes more money in the end, knowing that their "spot" is secure and only as good as the competition they face and occasionally lose to.

The whole reason I watch AEW is because it provides things that WWE can't or won't. I think they'll have more luck attracting some of those lapsed WWE fans simply by providing an alternative instead of trying to cater to them. It worked on me, and I was a WWE fan for over 20 years.

Cool, they cancelled the Wheel of Time show because despite successfully filming an incredibly unfilmable series of doorstopper novels to critical acclaim, it didn't stay on the Top 10 long enough for Amazon. I love when corporate trumps creative all the goddamned time. Real fun times we live in.
