  • Streaming Service Ad Load Showdown

    ,

    I’ve been doing some totally unscientific research on streaming service ad loads lately, and honestly, the results are both fascinating and infuriating. As someone who’s had to go ad-supported on pretty much every service to save money, I’ve become intimately familiar with just how wildly different the advertising experience can be from platform to platform.…

  • Phases: Intro

    ,

    Every song is a breadcrumb on the tangled path back to who I’ve been. In this series, I let shuffle decide which memories resurface, giving each musical phase its turn in the spotlight—and seeing what stories wake up with the sound. I lack the ability to actively recall memories, for the most part. I have…

  • Weekending BB27 Rankings

    my week-ending 17 August #BB27 rankings(based solely on how much I like seeing them on my little screen) Keanu continues to be messy, but in an entertaining way. Whenever I think I’m gonna drop Ava down a few notches, she pops up to spit straight facts. More solo Katherine time on feeds always endears me…

  • Starting My 2025 Buffy Rewatch

    During my WFH for COVID this last week, I’ve been rewatching Season 1 of Buffy in the background. I used to rewatch Buffy every year, along with Angel and 30 Rock, but it’s been several years since I’ve actually pulled it off. On top of that, I usually skip Season 1 and jump to Season…

    Speaking as someone who owns a less-than-a-month old Steam Deck OLED but is mostly and Xbox guy, I honestly don’t know how to feel. Portable Windows still sounds painful but an ecosystem would be pretty nice…

  • Spiders, Wires, and Man Meat: Media Diet Omnibus

    This week has been filled with old habits and trying new things. Join me as I try to take my favorite PS5 “zone out” game portable, find comfort returning to the magazine aisle, and get drawn back in to my first British soap love thanks to hot shirtless men now that it’s on YouTube. Currently…

  • Wednesday Morning Update

    ,

    My co-worker’s sister died and it’s brought a lot of emotions up in me from when my mom died. Ends up, I think I’m just not great at dealing with death or loss. Aside from that, I got a mystery injury that inflamed my left sciatic nerve branch. Walking around with a limp like the…
