    Scary to see Disney consolidating so much so quickly . Hope this at least means we'll get Futurama/Archer/Bob's Burgers back on Netflix though

    Which seems odd considering their trend of demonetizing completely SFW videos lately. Someone who reviews food for a living and hasn't even used a single swear word on his channel has been striked.

    Meanwhile, a nonprofit wants to avoid putting ads on their channel, but YT won't let them. I was told that it it possible to put some swear words in white noise that viewers are unable to hear, but YT's bots notice and strike videos for it. If that actually works, it might be a good solution for Blender.

    Finally started playing yesterday! I tried right when the closed beta started, but had some bugs where I couldn't get past the menu screen. Figured I'd give it another shot now that it's on Steam....

    Finally started playing yesterday! I tried right when the closed beta started, but had some bugs where I couldn't get past the menu screen. Figured I'd give it another shot now that it's on Steam. Although it's no CPMA, I've still been enjoying it a bit. Cruising across the map as Anarki is pretty fun.

    Daytona's production had me extremely hyped up, but Ye just left me feeling underwhelmed. I'm waiting until it's available in a higher quality to finish judging it though.

    The most recent book I've read was one with a misleading name. It's called Meet Me in the Bathroom, but it's not a romance novel like the title may imply. It effortlessly flows with passages from interviews of a bunch of people who were involved in New York's rock scene in the 2000s.

    I want to start reading A Song of Ice and Fire, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get through before the next season of the show starts.
