Aaaand the right is going after Tim Walz for, Checks Notes...
Being a Gamer.
With a Dreamcast.
During the Dreamcast era.
Yeah apparently that's a bad thing? Feels rather relatable...and it was on a Sega Dreamcast?
What a bunch of totally unrelatable weirdos. That's bad-fucking-ass. Should play it up somehow too honestly.
Half of Everything I've learned about Walz has been from the right claiming something Entirely Normal is actually worse than they are as people. It always, always backfires.

Honestly, i don't think i'll ever really know if the shattered realms was genuinely good or not, because before I could really get into Flamecaster, HAN DIED!
And that was not only traumatic to Ash, it was traumatic as hell for me too. I didn't give af about jenna and her childhood crush. I WAS MOURNING! And then I continued to mourn for the rest of Flamecaster-- which made the entire reading experience terrible.
Then by Dreamcaster, I was still mourning. Han--but in a different way bc Lyss' grief felt more respectful to Han in some ways-- and CAT BC SHE APPARENTLY DIED TOO??? And I was also disturbed by the Raimon 'hints' (I believe it's mostly Lyss' own paranoia about her mom moving on, but still DISTURBING)
By Stormcaster the grief about Han was settling down, but then I got angry bc it finally hit me that Raisa and Han (THE WHOLE REASON THAT I READ ALL FOUR BOOKS BC OF) would never get a happy ending together. History repeats itself, just like with hanalea and alger, which is terrible since Raisa stuck it to her family at the end of Crimson Crown about how she was LEARNING FROM THE PAST! and there were more references to raisa moving on and spending the rest of her life with someone else and that made angry too, bc she's a half of my otp! idc if he died, idc if it's healthy and realistic to move on, THEY HAD JUST GOTTEN MARRIED!
And finally, by the time Lyss and Ash finally reunited with Han, and it was confirmed that Raisa and Han were meeting up in the amulet and would continue to do so, DEATHCASTER WAS OVER! oh, and don't get me started on magret, bc by that point i was too emotionally numb to grieve over her.
this isn't anything against the books as a whole, it's just my explanation as to why I post about Shattered Realms as much. I've never attempted to read them again bc of the trauma from the first read through, and thinking too much about it makes me sad again.

Use It When You Need It
I wrote last week about my recent goal of sticking with a game through to the end. I talked about the availability of games and the ease in which we can play almost anything that’s ever been released. The rise of retro game shops and new, hobbyist hardware that lets us revisit old games in new ways have widened the pool of options exponentially beyond what digital distribution was already doing.…

Into the Aether | 234 | The Fish Will Remember
Gollum sees it, a fish wriggling in the river. He wants it, yes. But what if the slimy thing is poisoned, precious? The tummy rumbles, too loud to ignore. He pounces, snatching the fish with his bare hands. The fish squirms, but Gollum holds tight. Too tight, perhaps? The fish slips and launches out of Gollum’s hands and splishes and splashes back into the river. Gollum hears his tummy like a thunder as he watches his catch dart away downstream.
[THE FISH WILL REMEMBER THIS]
Discussed: Sonic Mania, Sonic the Hedgehog, Tron Identity, Sin & Punishment, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Listen to the show here 😘
