True Hunter S. Thompson story:

I used to have a friend who was an editor at the SF Examiner. This was during HST's time writing there. My friend hated him. He said he was the worst writer he ever had to deal with. Most of the stuff he submitted needed heavy editing just to make it readable. I still like HST but this story reminded me of the original Star Wars and I wonder just how much the myth of HST is based on good editors.

I like Nicky Gervais but I'm a little worried at how dad rock he's gotten, considering he's probably half my age lol

saw four B'z box sets on a coworker's desk and it turns out she's a superfan, and she was astonished that I'd ever heard of them

so I sent her the "At Icepick Velocity" deleted scene (the 17-minute long anti-B'z monologue) from the TM review by way of explanation and am expected to be :sever:ed any minute now

Now I understand how y'all felt when I bumped the thread a few weeks ago lol

Give us another video, Tim, I need another 6 hour hyperfixation to be engrossed in.

The default assumptions for the thread being bumped are:
A) New video
and/or
B) Tim dead

There’s a potential third for Truck Heck coming out but lol at that ever happening.

i like to think of NCG as a good enthusiast topic writer, like Robert Traver was to fishing. Tim is more like Hunter Thompson, laboriously mapping his pathology onto the topic and uncovering new perspectives in the process

Also the newest episode of the Insert Credit podcast is more than two hours of Tim and Brandon Sheffield (so of course mostly Tim) talking about the video games of 2022 - the ones that they didn't get to on their actual 2022 GOTY episode.

I hope tim's doing well. When I peek in on the friday streams he usually seems just kind of generally irritated but maybe that's what being in a Creative State is like for him

I respect his opinions on video games and the effort he puts into his work, but if his streams are anything to go by I suspect he is bad at actually playing video games.
