Whatever happened to that fellow Reggie Collects? That guy came on like a hurricane and then just vanished? He wasn’t my cup of tea but he seemed pretty passionate about what he did.

Almost gave me the sense (looking back if he is truly done) that it was a bit of a social experiment.
I’m not throwing shade either…just sort of odd as he just seemed to completely go radio silent (unless he changed names or is on some other platform I’m not aware of).

I don’t follow many Comic YouTubers.

Yeah, I don’t follow any. I just don’t really have the time to sit and watch long YouTube videos.

Well… they found a way at work to screw me over again. Been a fantastic week with my water main breaking and now this.

I absolutely hate that advertisement for Google’s Gemini AI where a dad uses it to, “Write,” a fan letter to an athlete for his daughter. Just…why? I made a blog post about how stupid it was I figured I would share it here as I haven’t linked to my own junk for a while so it isn’t too gratuitous…

Agreed! The message is stupid - “Let’s offload our parenting duties to AI and encourage our kids to be lazy”

I agree 100%. I was talking to someone about how cheap and phony the concept is. “Rather than using my own words to explain how I feel, I’ll get the AÍ to do it.”

I took my son Joe out to the high school fall baseball team tryouts. He did well. Stood head and shoulders above the other kids out there. I coach a 12u team with the JV head coach and was talking to him about the upcoming season. When everyone walked away he told me that the head varsity coach said that he”doesn’t care what position that kid Joe plays he wants him to hit for the varsity team.” For the record I didn’t play high school baseball, too small, and am not trying to live vicariously through my son. Just put in a ton of work with the boy over the years and happy to see him realize his dreams.

@Anthony Look in to getting him this…

How Does Our Baseball Swing Trainer Work? | Baseball Hitting Aid & Swing Trainer | LineDrivePro Trainer

the 2nd one is a different link, I follow the gram page! :slight_smile:

This kind of sucks as even though I never really cared for Game Informer I was happy we had at least some video-game magazines around. What is left at this point? “PC Gamer,” and nothing else? I used to read so many gaming magazines back in the day.

I bet Game Informer web domain will be available cheap pretty soon if someone wants to revive it. lol.

Nothing stays dead for long. I read Kohl’s is going to have Babies R Us mini-sections or such.

Toys R Us is back in Macys stores.
