Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him. Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

Incredible. The man has done it yet again.

Tonight I'm livestreaming more Monster Hunter Wilds for @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social on Twitch. I'll take on the game's true final boss (with help), and move out of low rank into high rank. Join me at 8 ET for some fun hunts! www.dcgameblog.com/2...

ICYMI I wrote about why the idea of a live-action Powerpuff Girls isn't bad per se, though the way CW planned to go about it was uninspiring at the very least, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/03/cogn...

I honestly don’t hate the picture of all the Chicago cops protecting Tesla because showing a bunch of armed agents of the state openly enforcing Elons will is revealing the truth of our situation much more clearly than anything protestors could show

Bernthal was reportedly contacted to reprise the Punisher role for “Punisher lite” in Daredevil: Born Again before the retool, and passed. He signed on after the creative shuffling. I believe him when he says the special won’t hold back. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

I keep remembering that I have to set the clocks up tonight and getting frustrated. Farewell, internal body clock settings. The adjustment process over the next few days will be a lot of "fun."

I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about why a live-action adaptation of The Powerpuff Girls isn't a bad idea on paper, though the cancelled CW show wasn't the proper way to do it. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/03/cogn...

A Saturday surprise Let's Play from Monster Hunter Wilds. Since we played most of this offline, have a video from the low rank Arkveld fight. We'll save the game's true final boss for tomorrow. youtu.be/WnxLC06JipI #VideoGames #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter #LetsPlay

My Twitter account was permanently suspended for briefly posting Elon's government email. The reason cited was "private information." Funny, Elon never had issue with libs of tiktok posts with government emails. The so called free speech absolutist strikes again.

ICYMI I wrote about how we'll never get another video game console like the PlayStation 2, alongside how nostalgic I am for the system, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of its launch for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/03/cogn...

Missed this news earlier in the week, but: I would not have predicted that Prime Video would get Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. (I made sure to remember there are six “u” letters there.) There truly is a first time for everything. www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-03...

Police officer in Vermont who struck and killed a bicyclist with his vehicle had a Matt Walsh anti-trans youtube video playing on his tablet at the time of the crash. vtdigger.org/2025/03/07/s...

ICYMI The 257th Quarantine Control went up later than usual on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social. @silverhuskey.bsky.social wrote about Trigun Stampede, CWTyger wrote about Recovery of an MMO Junkie, and I wrote about The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/03/quar...

There were already people in the government "reducing waste, fraud and abuse." Trump fired them and replaced them with one unelected asshole who's canceling programs he personally doesn't like and awarding himself government contracts

I thought the BRZRKR adaptation would be an animated series instead of a live-action movie, but that’s okay. There’s undoubtedly a bigger audience for the latter, especially with Keanu involved. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

I'm more than halfway through Star Ocean: The Second Story R, and it continues to be a superlative remake. The original sprites have aged well, and look great with the redone backdrops, as some screenshots here should show if they're not too compressed.

Normalizing racism was a major goal of the “free speech absolutist” movement and they’ve been wildly successful at their work.

The meme that the polls are worthless and usually wrong has done real damage. The polls and political data journalism have their flaws, but if they go, you're not going to like what comes next.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about how we'll never get another video game console like the PlayStation 2, and my overall memories of it, to commemorate the system's 25th (!!) anniversary. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/03/cogn...

The new details about the death of Gene Hackman and his wife are depressing enough that I don't want to link to them. Those are horrible ways to go out.

Friday is here! What are you playing, watching or doing? Our streaming schedule is attached. Offline we're playing Star Ocean: The Second Story R, Tales of Berseria, Mana Khemia 2, Marvel Rivals, Final Fantasy XIV, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and MH Wilds. One of us is also traveling. #Weekend #Twitch

For today's Quarantine Control on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social I shared my thoughts on Trigun Stampede. @diosenrab.bsky.social wrote about The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, and CWTyger covered Recovery of an MMO Junkie. It's an "Oops, all anime!" week. www.dcgameblog.com/2...

March 7th marks the anniversary of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny originally releasing in Japan! To celebrate, we're sharing this new artwork by Capcom's staff. It's truly a joy to reunite with everyone after 23 years! #Onimusha #Onimusha2

They adopted a posture of total submission and it bought them precisely nothing. A lesson for the Trump era www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Part 1 of my Monster Hunter Wilds livestream filler is now on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social. I get into the opening hours of Wild and get a feel for the game. So far it ranks better than Rise for me, but not as good as World/Iceborne. Still, this one is a lot of fun. youtu.be/lo0_YmxZOhU

Jeff Bezos is channeling serious Bond Villain Energy in parts of this piece, which is very fitting. The artwork made for it further helps hammer this home. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

What accounts for phrasing like this? If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.

The Ghost in the Shell films are some of the finest anime around, and I will kneel by my bedside and pray that a third one happens. www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/202...

They gave Nolan a blank check after Oppenheimer's success, and he's damn-well using it.

There is indeed a body of polisci research that indicates Biden won specifically *because* of racial justice protests.

These people really do not have what it takes to fight back.

And we love that tariff ping pong game, don't we folks? We love it, and we love it a lot. apnews.com/article/tari...

In 2009 GOP Member of Congress Joe Wilson screamed “you lie” during Obama’s SOTU. No censure by the GOP, only “reprimanded” by Dems At Biden’s SOTU 2022 Lauren Boebert and MTG heckled him, nothing.. But Dems will happily throw their Black colleague under a bus for white moderate voter pandering

It's very easy to see why the plug was pulled on the CW Powerpuff Girls series from this leaked trailer, which gives the feel of a circa mid-2010s College Humor parody. The YouTube video has been deleted due to a copyright strike, but it might be somewhere else.

The thing I'll always remember about Al Green is that he was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, after Comey was fired. He also argued that Trump was impeachable for his bigotry alone. This was completely out of step with most Democrats and party leaders.

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

Can anyone recommend good external game capture cards? We've dabbled with the ElgatoHD60 S in the past, but it had significant issues with lag, especially on the audio side. Thank you for any help or insight! #Twitch #Livestreaming #YouTube

The idea the president alone can levy taxes on a whim and spend it as he pleases without any congressional approval is the kind of thing so beyond the pale it's not unconstitutional, it's anti-constitutional. It is overturning in starkest terms the central rallying cry of the American Revolution.

Random Roar: Suikoden Gacha? Really? www.dcgameblog.com?p=40905

I simply don’t believe that Naughty Dog will end The Last of Us with Part II, but I *guess* we’ll see. The success of the HBO show might will it into existence. www.ign.com/articles/nei...

Meanwhile, Democrats are considering censuring...Rep. Al Green. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ
