Well, I just watched Red vs Blue: Restoration. I suppose that’s it. Red vs Blue is over. I was late to the series, having only discovered it in recent years, but that doesn’t make seeing it end any easier.
Restoration felt rushed and unpolished. I think an extra half hour on it’s runtime would have it many favours. It certainly wasn’t the best ending, but it was an ending, and that’s something.
It’s sad to see things end but I think it’s important to simply value the memories they created. After all, memory is the key
Thanks Rooster Teeth.

YouTube, do you care to explain what the hell I’m looking at?
Seeing X (formerly Twitter) fall victim to clbuttic has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen recently.

I’m having a most excellent birthday. Can’t wait to share some of the stuff I’ve been doing!
Minecraft, Nostalgia, and Growing Up
I'm feelin' nostalgic for the block game.
A look back on Minecraft, its editions, its culture, and how it shaped me as I turn 18 and transition into adulthood.

Microsoft, I ask of you this:
Does everything need AI integration?
There is an old saying that goes “If you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product.”
It almost seems that for the digital age it should be altered to “If you’re paying for the product, then you are the product.”
A debatable claim…
