Why I Canceled My US Mint Subscription for 2026 Sets
The prices for the annual Uncirculated and Proof sets for 2026 at the US Mint have gone through the roof for seemingly no reason at all (they’re not silver or gold), so I’ve made the unfortunate decision to cancel my subscription. The new prices are: Uncirculated Set 2026 – $124.50 Proof Set 2026 – $107.00 For some reason, they’ve decided to price me out of annual clad sets. For context,…
Mistborn & Stormlight Updates!
Mistborn movie(s), and a Stormlight Archive TV series are in the works! The Stormlight Archive is one of my favorite series, so I’m really excited. Update From Brandon byu/mistborn inCosmere I just finished Stephen King’s 11/22/63 and was looking for my next read. Mistborn it is!
2025 Fantasy Football Roundup
Since I posted my drafts at the beginning of the season, I figured I’d post an update on what happened in those leagues: From the first draft, I won the championship! I ended the regular season in third (9-5). I also ended with the third most points for, and second most points against. It was a stressful season. The QB position was rotational, but I ended up with Trevor Lawrence in the end on a…
Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles - Chater 1: The Meager
I’ve started my Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles playthrough, and I’m loving every minute of it. The original is one of the greatest games of all time, so I was so hyped for this remaster! It does not disappoint. A ton of quality of life upgrades and fully voiced dialogue have been amazing additions. Much like the Final Fantasy 7 playthrough videos, I’ve sped up the grinding,…
Finished The Stormlight Archive, Built Another App
Finally finished Wind & Truth, to wrap up The Stormlight Archive for a few years (or 6). Absolutely loved the series, and recommend it to any fans of fantasy novels: Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson (Book 5 in The Stormlight Archive) I also built an app to format ebook highlights into a few different… formats. It takes the raw output from the highlight exports and moves them into markdown,…
First 2025 Fantasy Football Draft
I had my first fantasy football draft this weekend, in a QB-centric league. Here are the results: I’m basically betting on the boom or bust here. It’s not at all what I imagined it would be, but drafting from 7th position, it is what it is. My AI grade was not super favorable, but it also doesn’t understand that QBs and Team Defenses can put up good numbers in our scoring format: Overall Grade:…

Currently Listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl Series
And WOW it’s so good. I’m on book five at the moment and I’m still loving it. I’m currently very slow in updating my sites (obviously), but I just got a new post up really quickly for the first audiobook, which I finished back in May, so I figured I’d cross-post it here. I’ll get the rest of my thoughts uploaded eventually. I’ve also got some new coins, but work and dad life have all sort of…
I'm a fairly active reader on coin subreddits, so I've been thinking about making a short PSA about this for a while. If the L in Liberty is on the rim of your penny, it's not an error.
sylphrena!💙 this has been in my wips for too long.. I’m always meaning to do more cosmere art but I’ve gotta catch up on the books first 😭 most of the way through rhythm of war rn, I’m nearly there!!
Love this!
Currently re-reading The Stormlight Archive.
for whom good omens is being written
Hey maggots and the rest of the fandom, it's the Good Omens Mascot here. Today I read a post about this tweet:
The accompanying video genuinely made me cry. And I've been thinking about this for a long while, as far back as February, when I saw a lot of conflicting opinions on what people wanted from the third season. It really is true that no matter what you do, some people will be dissatisfied. But what matters is that Neil is writing this for Terry.
And I was reminded of some paragraphs from the Good Omens TV Companion, which I'd read in Amazon's sample excerpt of the book. I know this is a long post, but I really truly do think you all need to read these, I've done my best to select only the most important parts. Here you go:
'His Alzheimer's started progressing harder and faster than either of us had expected,' says Neil, referring to a period in which Terry recognized that despite everything he could no longer write. 'We had been friends for over thirty years, and during that time he had never asked me for anything. Then, out of the blue, I received an email from him with a special request. It read: “Listen, I know how busy you are. I know you don't have time to do this, but I want you to write the script for Good Omens. You are the only human being on this planet who has the passion, love and understanding for the old girl that I do. You have to do this for me so that I can see it." And I thought, “OK, if you put it like that then I'll do it."
'I had adapted my own work in the past, writing scripts for Death: The High Cost of Living and Sandman, but not a lot else was seen. I'd also written two episodes of Doctor Who, and so I felt like I knew what I was doing. Usually, having written something once I'd rather start something new, but having a very sick co-author saying I had to do this?' Neil spreads his hands as if the answer is clear to see. 'I had to step up to the plate.' A pause, then: 'All this took place in autumn 2014, around the time that the BBC radio adaptation of Good Omens was happening,' he continues, referring to the production scripted and co-directed by Dirk Maggs and starring Peter Serafinowicz and Mark Heap. ‘Terry had talked me into writing the TV adaptation, and I thought OK, I have a few years. Only I didn't have a few years,' he says. 'Terry was unconscious by December and dead by March.'
He pauses again. 'His passing took all of us by surprise,' Neil remembers. 'About a week later, I started writing, and it was very sad. The moments Terry felt closest to me were the moments I would get stuck during the writing process. In the old days, when we wrote the novel, I would send him what I'd done or phone him up. And he would say, "Aahh, the problem, Grasshopper, is in the way you phrase the question," and I would reply, "Just tell me what to do!" which somehow always started a conversation. 'In writing the script, there were times I'd really want to talk to Terry, and also places where I'd figure something out and do something really clever, and I would want to share it with him. So, instead, I would text Terry's former personal assistant, Rob Wilkins, now his representative on Earth. It was the nearest thing I had.'
(...) As Neil himself recognizes, this is an adaptation built upon the confidence that comes from three decades of writing for page and screen. But for all the wisdom of experience, he found that above all one factor guided him throughout the process. 'Terry isn't here, which leaves me as the guardian of the soul of the story,' he explains. 'It's funny because sometimes I found myself defending Terry's bits harder or more passionately than I would defend my own bits. Take Agnes Nutter,' he says, referring to what has become a key scene in the adaptation in which the seventeenth-century author of the book of prophecies foretelling the coming of the Antichrist is burned at the stake. ‘It was a huge, complicated and incredibly expensive shoot, with bonfires built and primed to explode as well as huge crowds in costume. It had to feel just like an English village in the 1640s, and of course everyone asked if there was a cheap way of doing it. 'One suggestion was that we could tell the story using old-fashioned woodcuts and have the narrator take us through what happened, but I just thought, “No”. Because I had brought aspects of the story like Crowley and the baby swap along to the mix, and Terry created Agnes Nutter. So, if I had cut out Agnes then I wouldn't be doing right by the person who gave me this job. Terry would've rolled over in his grave.'
And, finally, this paragraph:
"Once again, Neil cites the absence of his co-writer as his drive to ensure that Good Omens translated to the screen and remained true to the original vision. 'Terry's last request to me was to make this something he would be proud of. And so that has been my job.'"
I think that's so heartwrenchingly beautiful, and so I wanted you all to read this, too, just in case you (like me) don't have the Good Omens TV Companion. It adds another layer of depth and emotion to this already complex and amazing story that we all know and love.
Share this post, if you can, please, so that more people can read these excerpts :")
Tagging @neil-gaiman, @fuckyeahgoodomens and @orpiknight, even if you've definitely read these before :)
Still true in Season 3. Missing him more.
After 98 hours and 30 minutes, I've finally completed Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
I loved every minute! Absolute masterpiece.
I'll be uploading thoughts and my full playthrough to my blog theoman.com and on https://youtube.com/@theoman.
Finished the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Demo, and spoiler alert - I loved it! Uploaded my full playthrough on the blog:
This blog isn’t just about coins – we can have more than one hobby! I finally got around to doing a full playthrough of the Final Fantasy VI
1960s Pennies – Large Date vs Small Date
Looking at the image above, the large date is on the left, and the small date is on the right.
If you look closely, the large date 1960s pennies will have the 9 and the 6 closer together. Under a microscope, the 9 on the large date will go higher than the 1. The 6 also has a slightly longer tail. The large dates also feature a slightly larger 0.
The small date 1960s pennies will have a noticeable gap between the 9 and the 6. Under a microscope, the 9 will be the same height as the 1, and they have a slightly smaller 0.
The absolute easiest way to tell just by looking at them without a microscope is by looking at the gap between the 9 and the 6. Once you've seen the gap in the large date vs the small date, you'll never confuse the two again. A gap equals small date, while no gap equals large date.
I've noticed that people have started spreading the 1992 Good Omens script around. Please don't. If you've got it up, please take it down. There's a mess of serious and real legalities involved, and I don't want to have to start being a dick and asking for copyright takedowns and all of that, and I don't want to have to regret letting it out into the world. Just take it down, unshare, delete links. Thank you.
Aww so pretty ♡
I haven't posted any photos in a while, so here are some from Great Basin National Park. We camped out there for a few nights and had an amazing time.
It's one of the least visited US National Parks, but it is quite beautiful. The Lehman Caves are very unique, and have some extremely rare formations. I'd highly recommend a visit!
TUMBLR I HAVE JUST LEARNED SOMETHING AMAZING AND MUST INFLICT IT IN YOU
There is a Japanese water beetle called Regimbartia attenuata. It has developed an incredible adaptation to be being eaten by pond frogs.
It walks out the frog’s butt.
The beetles get swallowed whole, and usually that would be considered Kinda Fatal, but this particular species is just like “DID YOU THINK A FROG’S DIGESTIVE TRACT COULD HOLD ME?!” and proceeds to walk through the frog’s intestines, then presumably stimulate the frog’s hind gut with its legs so that the frog poops. The beetles emerge headfirst and 93% of them survive and live on for weeks afterward.
Apparently some beetles can do this obstacle course in six minutes! (Usually takes a few hours, but some people will speedrun ANYTHING.)
Isn’t that COOL?!
Life's journey sometimes takes you to unexpected places.
