It’s a shame he ended up being such a turd. The Story of Everest sketch in Mr Show is a masterpiece of physical comedy.

I haven’t gotten my shit together and researched specific models yet, but I’ve been looking into this a bit myself, and from what I’ve read, Sceptre appears to be one of the better brands for completely dumb TVs these days.

“Pleased to meet ya Lloyd! Hope you guessed my name.”

Because otherwise we wouldn’t have Walter Murphy’s “A Fifth of Beethoven”.

The series with the magic item home shopping network is amazing.

Yes. Also due to free time, climate change, a global swing towards fascism, and the fact that I find all children unpleasant to be around.

There’s a few short fiction podcasts I like for bedtime stories:

• Myths & Legends
• Fictional
• LeVar Burton Reads
• The Magnus Archives

Shadow Madness on PS1. Unlikable characters, incoherent story, bad graphics, and boring gameplay. It was like someone drew a better JRPG from memory.

If that’s not the perfect descriptor for God Hand, I don’t know what is.

Also where the fuck is a God Hand remaster/sequel while we’re on the subject?

OKCupid. And given what I hear about the state of dating apps today, it feels like we caught the last chopper out of 'Nam.

I’ve seen that one in my podcast app, but my backlog is still so long. Might be good for nights that I just want to zonk right out though.

The thing I like most about LeVar Burton Reads is that it’s basically Reading Rainbow with the occasional “fuck” thrown in there.

And yeah, Tim Harford’s smooth voice is a much-needed balance to the anxiety inducing content of Cautionary Tales.

I prefer single voice, storytelling podcasts. I listen to them as bedtime stories a lot.

• Lore (the older episodes are better, IMO)
• Myths & Legends (snarky modern retelling of old folk stories)
• Fictional (when he actually updates it… same guy as above, but these are classic literature)
• LeVar Burton Reads (all over the board. It’s whatever stories LeVar liked. Leans a bit toward speculative fiction)
• Drabblecast, sometimes good if you like “weird fiction”
• Cautionary Tales (nonfiction)
• Just started getting into The Program. Clear Black Mirror influences here.

“Soulsborne” isn’t a series per se, it’s an umbrella covering all the Dark Souls games, and FromSoft’s other games using the same formula like Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring.

I could be down for small beer being the main thing we drink.

Yellow kiwi blow green kiwi away. Little to no fuzz, so you can eat like an apple without peeling, and less tart. Also maybe a hint of banana to the taste?

Also fantastic, can’t believe I forgot to include this one. Not only are they hilarious, but it’s fun to rewatch them knowing Jordan Peele would go on to start making a name in horror. You can see the roots of that in a lot of their sketches.

I need to give this one another look. I watched a few episodes a while back, and it wasn’t bad, but it was weird. It felt kind of like watching interdimensional cable from Rick & Morty.
