Always fun to see a Park Journey update from Six Flags Magic Mountain!

Watching some Neebs Gaming playing Icarus. This one is hilarious especially at the end.

First time I heard this new Nickelback song, I wasn't sure about it. Now that I've listened to it a few times, I've added it to my latest song rotation.

Just found out the Backrooms movie is going to be rated R. I'm not sure how I feel about that because I think it means they are going to add in some things that I probably won't like. I was really looking forward to some pure psychological stuff like in the YouTube videos by Kane Pixels. I know there are some monsters that do appear, but I worry they may push it into a gore area that is just unnecessary for something like the Backrooms. I hope I'm wrong, but I am worried.

I'm old enough to have seen the He-Man cartoons when I was a kid, but I don't really remember them. When I saw the teaser trailer for Masters of the Universe a few months back, this looked like the type of movie I would enjoy. Now that the full trailer is out, I definitely know this will be a movie I will enjoy.

The music in this trailer sounds amazing as well. I can't wait to see this on the big screen!

This trailer looks so good. Reminds me of a bunch of Spider-Man comic covers. I'm also super excited for this movie. I feel like Tom Holland plays a fantastic Peter Parker, and I love that his story continues.

I loved the Project Hail Mary book. I can't wait to see the movie!

Always love a good Park Journey update.

I'm going to miss AJ Styles. He was my favorite wrestler. I remember watching him on TNA years ago. He was a big reason I have followed TNA for years. I learned about New Japan Pro Wrestling when he went there. Started watching and fell in love with that show. The Bullet Club stuff was amazing work.

I was super excited when he debuted at the Royal Rumble because I never thought I'd see him in a WWE Ring. Watching him compete in WWE these past 10 years were awesome. His entire career has been amazing.

AJ Styles is the reason I am a professional wrestling fan and not just a WWE fan. It's going to be weird watching professional wrestling without him going forward.

Bring that beat back: why are people in their 30s giving up on music?

It would have been unimaginable in our 20s, but these days more and more friends are disengaging from a passion we once shared. Surely this

I'm 45 and still discovering new music and loving it. Kind of sad to read that a lot of others stop enjoying new music in their 30s.

I can't even remember Toy Story 4 ... or 3 ... or 2. I think I might have to revisit the previous movies before I see this one. I can only really remember the first one.

Grandson of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup inventor accuses Hershey of "quietly replacing" ingredients

Brad Reese claims Hershey is cutting costs by relying on cheaper ingredients, risking the Reese's brand.

I've been telling my wife for awhile now that I swear Reese's Peanut Butter Cups don't taste as good as they once did. This confirms it. Makes me sad too because it is my favorite candy, but I haven't been enjoying it as much as I used to.

I replaced Windows with Linux, and there's only one feature I miss

Switching from Windows to Linux is easy, they say. But here's what they don't tell you.

Here is some a helpful piece of advice. If you are trying to put Linux on hardware that was designed specifically for Windows, you are probably going to fight with it more than you will using hardware built by a different manufacturer.

My experience with Linux has been great. I have it on a Lenovo laptop and a customer desktop I built five years ago. I didn't need to do any "command line" stuff to get it running.

The minute I saw the author mentioned they were putting it on a Surface device, I realized they were giving themselves a challenge. Surface is built by Windows for Windows. I would not recommend putting Linux on a Surface device.

Linux Mint isn't the best Windows replacement anymore

This distro is sleek, easy to use, and has built-in support for Windows apps.

Hmm. I've used Linux Mint off and on over the years. Might have to give ZorinOS a try. I like the idea of installing a Windows program by running the exe file and it setting it up automatically without having to get WINE up and running first. I wonder how well that actually works.

Curious.

Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are already sold out for the entire year, says Western Digital

AI companies have bought out Western Digital's storage capacity for 2026. It's only February.

Sigh. Gues this means we will see prices go up on hard drives now.
