My regional-favorite record store had an exclusive color of the Goosebumps soundtrack on vinyl that I picked up last week. It was truly an A+ spooky-season purchase.

I'm a big fan of Scranton PA's own Cynthia Rothrock. Even when a movie she's in is dumb, she shines. And I think I came up with a good description of her default character: she's Bruce Lee crossed with Cindy Lauper.

Morrigan from Darkstalkers inspired by bat wing jeans from Vietnamese designer brand La Lune

They were great! Lots of fantastic energy. I was kind of expecting them to exclusively focus on new stuff, but they covered stuff from across their career with unique mixes. (Also numerous clips of Sega CD commercials.)

On a train to NYC, going to see The Avalanches live! I have no idea what they're like live, but I'm looking forward to it.

I really like that their new album uses a lot of the same aesthetics and inspirations as vaporwave, but makes it into something extremely fresh-sounding.

Airbnb went from a cheap way to crash in a spare bedroom or rent a vacation house for a weekend and turned into "what if hotels openly hated you and acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you give them hundreds of dollars to stay there, and also it's more expensive"

Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...

I know I'm several years late, but I just finished the first season of the Chucky TV series and it's very good! It's kind of wild how consistantly high-quality the Chucky movies are and having this TV series on top of that is a great treat. Looking forward to seasons two and three!

I want to see Laika's Wildwood, but the title keeps making me think of the Jersey Shore and then I think "that can't be what it's called..."

Please ignore the MTL release of Meremanoid that came out today. We have had a hearty band at work (Chapu, Popi, Mr. Nobody, Misty, Shentok and I) working hard on an all-human patch. Fully playable in English, in it final editing pass now. Popi provided these screencaps today. More news later.

So, "Schrödinger no neko" isn't up your alley? How about a fully 3D JRPG about an amnesiac siren? This is "Shinkai densetsu Meremanoid". Already hacked the thing, got a half-width font, script dumped, the whole kit and caboodle. Ping me if you know Japanese and want to translate it!

My problem with "the golden rule" is that I think the way in which I want to be treated is a way that other people find off-putting and uncomfortable.

At the Alamo Drafthouse for the first time since they implemwnted mobile ordering as the only option. Mobile ordering is down.

I've long known that I'm distantly related to Pamela Colman Smith (of tarot fame) but I finally mathed it out: she's my first cousin thrice removed!

I've never had any adult friend-group who enjoyed playing console games with me, and this has always felt like some kind of personal failing. I know Resident Evil 6 isn't supposed to be good, but I'd like to play it with someone!

I have one of those bootleg laminated posters from the '90s-early-00s with this art and it's one of my treasures.
