Matt Eddy

Xbox's problem isn't the Xbox itself. The Xbox Series X is a pretty great console. The problem is all the decision making on all the stuff that surrounds and supports it.

This but Caribou in Minneapolis.

I think I'd have a harder time with this if the 24 tacos were removed. I think the 24 tacos spaced out over the day might keep me from falling asleep from the beers.

Still a solid chance of blowing mondo chunks somewhere in my 2nd 5 mile run though.

It was a big moment for my personal politics when it dawned on me that I like police procedurals and, like, Brooklyn 99 because I wished cops really were valiant detective geniuses or golden-hearted comedy doofuses. I enjoy that fantasy.

This reply is aimed squarely at whatever cultural demographic I'm in.

Great, but I don't want to accept the status quo impunity forever. Congress needs an Anti-Impunity Plan for every position in the Federal Government, including the President, and a plan for bad faith federal judges who will stand in the way of it.

This speaks to my soul. I don't know if it ever mattered, but as I got older I felt increasing anticipatory shame every time I would have to tell someone my email was Mega Matt, enough that I eventually made what I called a more "professional" email.

Obviously reactions on both sides of the border, and around the world, are all over the map about this. There's been American bellicose trolling, Canadian sour grapes, as well as some honorable grace in all corners of The Internet. This one made me laugh out loud, so thanks for that.

Canada really deserved to win that in regulation, but holy shit what a shot. To Canadians: just stay off Twitter and forget all the bellicose bullshit. No one person can speak for the USA, obviously, the country is too huge, but speaking for myself, I'm sorry we've been a shitty neighbor.

Thanks man. And thanks for posting on this website so I don't have to look it up on Twitter.

Just ignore Twitter, man. The commentary by all the randos is going to be all over the map, you'll have chill Americans congratulating both teams as well as bellicose dorks trying to troll. Same as it ever was, all the noise - especially the dorks - is just louder now.

Me, an American, clicking down hockey rabbit holes, landing in regions of BlueSky that are about Canadians debating Hockey Canada.

The absolutely nasty drag move for the win, the sticks and gloves in the air, and then the shot of the stoic-faced coach with a single Manly Tear: epic moments and I gotta hand it to NBC for the TV directing there.

Hockey has again rendered me unwell.

Desktop quadboxing Olympics events, turned on some replays for Nordic Combined and Skimo and hell yeah, it's gray and dumping snow, love to see ski stuff in the snow. "It's absolutely nuking out here today," says a commentator. As a ski idiot, makes it feel a bit like football.

I thought you were summarizing his implications, but no, it's literally what he says.

It also contributes to siloing kids into more concentration on a single sport than there used to be. If you want your football kid to play and not be a benchwarmer on a maniac competitive team, you're not signing them up for baseball in the spring, you're doing private football training camps.

It's very stupid and has little to do with the original game lore, such as it was - which is absolutely the correct choice and a good thing for a TV show.

This is good deep lore to know.

I AM referring to Vine Street Pub! How worldly of you.

I'm in Denver now, and one of my favorite Brewpubs also has declared February to be Stout Month, and I think this needs to go nation/worldwide.

I just audibly chuckled reading this and imagining the tone shift it would bring to Olympic Medal Ceremonies.

For the first time in like a week, I added basketball to what had been an all-Olympics multiboxing desktop experience, and Kawhi and Wemby are out here ferocious about the All-Star Game in a way that is honestly very funny to me. Like I'm imagining Jokic telling Wemby "Chill, who cares"

It's some kinda cheesy buffalo chicken and fuck you, it's delicious.

That moment when you've ordered 1:00 am dominos and you're half way through the side salad you ordered out of obligation for vegetables, and then you open up your entre, and for the life of you, you can't remember what the actual fuck it is

Pacha "just right" meme image.

When you're multiboxing Olympics windows on your dual-monitor PC, and got replays and live broadcast timed just right to show two USA gold medal wins at the same time.

The opening ceremonies cheer for our athletes and boo of J.D. Vance really rescued these Olympics for me.

Okay so: Effect: Dazzle (enemies 20% more susceptible to status effects) Quad God: Dashing near an enemy spins their focus to a new target Knife Shoes: Duo Boon with Hermes; all speed boons get +1 Lost Crown: Attacks cause Dazzle. Perfect Set: Dazzle lasts 10% longer. Season Opener: Duo boon with Demeter, dazzle causes frozen enemies to change targets when they unfreeze just noodling

Good Sportsmanship: Duo boon with Ares, lifesteal from enemies hit by blade effects True Olympian: Duo boon with zeus, dazzle lasts as long as blitz does

I asked my friend and holy shit. I could never have the cleverness to cook this up.

Just started my Hades 2 playthrough, what kinds of boons can I expect from The Quad God?

I was a TE in college and have suffered the jokes and humiliations for years (I deserve them), and I'm proud of the reframing to prostate health.

It's easy to get really frustrated by the modern internet, but every now and then it does something like deliver a random interaction with someone across the world who shows you grace. Thanks, man.
