Went to see Captain America: Brave New World with the kids yesterday. Then immediately watched The Incredible Hulk (2008) and it really is a direct sequel. Minus Bruce Banner and the Hulk.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Kraven the Hunter #MarvelUnited #MiniPainting

Took a small break from Marvel United to paint an actual Warhammer figure: Primaris Techmarine #MiniPainting

Me: Hey kids, what would be your ideal day? Them:

The Sandman. I tried a new yellow primer on this. It was terrible as it left a glossy surface that didn't lend itself to be painted easily. In the end it worked out, though. #MarvelUnited #MiniPainting

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle doesn't feel like Uncharted or Tomb Raider, as much as it does feel like a modern Thief game.

Similar to how phrases of four 2 syllable words gets turned into TMNT meter, I've found that I turn any 2 syllable then 3 syllable word combo into the "Bitchin' Camaro" meter: "Mango Banana milkshake" Oh? ... Mango Banana, Mango Banana! I wanna have a taste too www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeY2...

I don't know about Game of the Year, but The Great Circle is a lock for: Best Indy Game!

Upgraded my CPU and doubled my RAM. Yay, I can play Alan Wake 2 without it bogging down! I don't care how bad performance is, I am NOT going to turn off ray tracing in a Remedy game.

Best app I've seen in a long time! www.copymethat.com

Just because I start reading 1 book for a while, and then start another book for a while, and then another... does not mean I'm reading 3 books at once. It just means I have (literary) commitment issues. The last book I finished was ... Ready Player One (?!?) Ooof I need to rectify that.

Green Goblin This one took longer than expected. Mostly because of the armor. #MarvelUnited #MiniPainting

All Tyson needed was more stamina.

Boxing actually is entertaining every once in a while... But why is the round scoring 10-9? Why not 1-0? I must conclude that they are keeping the door open for 8 more competitors in the ring. Royal Rumble Style!

Harvested my first Scorpion x Ghost Pepper today. I'm impressed, it really is as hot as you'd expect it to be! pepperjoe.com/products/apo...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #735,592!

This is surprisingly hard to research via search engine, so please correct me if I'm wrong: NES -> Super Mario Bros. (Pack-In) SNES -> Super Mario World (Pack-In) N64 -> Mario World 64 ($50) PSVR -> Astro Bot Rescue Mission (Pack-In) PS5 -> Astro's Playroom (Pack-In) PS5 -> Astro Bot ($60)

I haven't paid much attention to the recent Planet Of The Apes movies. Mostly cuz 2001 Marky Mark didnt hit w/ me. But I'm watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and it holds up & it is ... ON POINT. (and cool to see Brian Cox in it) All of a sudden I'm interested in the franchise again!

I haven't watched a game all season. But I'm watching tonight! #StanleyCup #Game7

The last from this batch of Spider-Men. It is: Spider-Ham! #marvelunited #miniaturepainting

That Unfrosted movie isn't necessarily good. But, it is always fun to see a new version of "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" or "Rat Race". For that reason, it was worth the watch.

Miles Morales #marvelunited #miniaturepainting

Spider-Gwen #marvelunited #miniaturepainting

I started watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and I was going to comment on how Jonathon transforms from harmless, carefree, rich boy - to the most powerful force in the universe literally between episode 1 & 2. But, I see the ultimate comparison is pretty obvious: jojowiki.com/Blog:Fist_of...

Finished my latest paint job: Colossus

A kickoff through the goal posts should give your team 1 point.

This is how you ramp UP a halftime show!

The commercials are fine, but it's weird that every one relies on AT LEAST one celebrity.

Ok, let's see all the Super Bowl hot takes on this thing....

No better Quality Of Life improvement than the search feature in Windows 11 Task Manager. I thank the makers every time I use it.

We got a Quest2 for Christmas & I finally got a chance to play where the kids weren't playing Gorilla Tag. vs Quest1 - WOW! The screen door effect is nearly gone. The Steam Link app is so much nicer than the Virtual Desktop hack. Can't wait til we get the Quest3 to see how much better that is...

Now that Spotify Wrapped is out, am I free to listen to K-Pop for a few weeks without it counting against me?

Whenever I've heard a reference to the latest Napoleon movie with Joaquin Phoenix, I've done a mental double take. So, I finally made this:
