🟡 NEW REVIEW from Shane | @SteadySphere
🟢 SEGA Extreme Sports (2000, Dreamcast)
Shane remembers Innerloop's versatile, multi-eventing racer that spanned a range of extreme sports. It delivers a range of unusual disciplines to good effect! 🙂 #gaming#retrogaming#review
Give this one a boost! You probably know a photographer or a hobbyist looking for a NICE tripod! https://youtu.be/hJsYmtUpWGA
Who would have thought that we'd be seeing this level of "tripod innovation" these days? Blows my mind how far we've come over the last five years...
Today's queer indie author review! Run Wild, Run Free" by Fiona Glass:
"Joey feels like he no longer has a place in his family, as if he's become invisible... Glass packs it with emotion, leaving the reader with many things to think about. Well worth the read."
You're not inviting me to #review a #paper. You're asking me for free labor to help perpetuate a system that exploits researchers, students, and the public in order to line the pockets of #publishers.
I understand that I am a part of that system. I will serve as a peer #reviewer for your #journal, but please stop pretending you're doing me a favor by "inviting" me.
The beverage is suitably green, but the floating things that good brine has in it are absent. I'm not sure you would want to see spices and stuff floating in the drink, if it's supposed to be a shot, so I applaud their filtering.
Sure. A Sony is expensive if you just do BASIC phone things with it, but that really isn't the point of an XPERIA is it?
Taking a quick tour through the External Monitor mode, it's crazy to think how little we're really tapping into the amazing compute power of our phones...
Today's queer indie author review: To a Fungus Unknown" by William C. Tracy:
"This series is totally my jam – colonization sci-fi, a weird alien species, and a whiff of mystery... I can’t wait to see where this goes. if you love serious sci-fi, grab this one right now (and the first book if you haven’t read it yet). You won’t be sorry."
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
THE INSATIABLE HUNGER OF TREES, Samantha Eaton's debut, is an instantly gripping horror story with a genuinely terrifying, unique creature wreaking havoc- but its also a layered, affecting reflection on grief, coming to terms with unpleasant truths, & not letting tragedy consume you.
American Born Chinese, premiering this week on #Disney, is a coming-of-age comedy that masterfully interlaces the stories of Jin Wang (Ben Wang), a Chinese-American teenager, and characters from Monkey King #folklore.
Today's queer spec fic review! White Trash Warlock" by David R. Slayton:
"I enjoyed White Trash Warlock quite a lot... an effortless complex and intriguing world with just enough explanation to clarify but not reveal their hand." ...
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
Upon finishing NORTH AMERICAN LAKE MONSTERS I sat, quietly devastated by the elegant, bleak prose that spooled out stories of souls broken by fate, circumstance, tragedy, &/or the random cruelties of others. Beautiful, savage, resonant. A "must-read" collection.

"Escaping by all means possible, even if those means are illicit. One cannot help but think that Leila and her brothers have nothing to lose any more. And yet, Roustaee proves his dreaming characters wrong. There is always something else, something more to lose, for everyone."

Today's queer indie author review: Free Me by Beck Grey:
"The hardest thing about reading this book was finding uninterrupted time to finish it, because once I started, I did not want to put it down... a wonderfully well-written novel that takes us along as Steph and Blake build a relationship."
Low budget #horror movie from the 20teens. so you know it was set in the 80s.
Written and directed by Justin M. Seaman, which was going to be my porn star name so I'm glad I didn't use it.
Watchable if not particularly original, but at least it has Linnea Quigley.

A new series, folks. I watch a lot of movies and TV shows and I read a lot of books. So I'd like to do some reviews here. Not so much in the direction of good and bad and "x out of ten" voting, but rather under the aspect of what parts are interesting or unique in the sci-fi and fantasy world. ...
I'm late to this sci-fi classic: Ringworld by Larry Niven. Niven has, especially through the series of the Ringworld books, become one of the most renowned and respected writers of the genre, often listed as a successor of Golden Age authors like Bradbury, Asimov and Clarke. ...
I need some mental exercise. Something easy like porting Toledo Atomchess to Intellivision 😁 It has passed some time since I drew "fat" chess pieces. #retro#retrogaming#intellivision
