This… is BGNN

Things you might want to know, for the afternoon of Feb 20, 2023:

• Happy Birthday, Kurt Cobain — Given how things have gone with my heroes over the last 30 years, a fiftysomething Kurt probably would have been an insufferable nutjob. But I sure wish he’d given us a chance to find out.
• Your desktop reveals your D&D alignment, like it or not — So, for the first time in the history of goofy D&D alignment charts, I am officially Chaotic Evil.
• The Expanse extended gameplay trailer showcases zero-G exploration and tough decisions — I’m really, really looking forward to Telltale’s side-story for Drummer. She’s one of the best characters on a great show, and Telltale’s style means I won’t have to do any stealth mission bullshit just to explore the story.
• What rewatching old shows teaches us about ourselves
• Conspiracy Theorists Are Coming for the 15-Minute City — The worst thing that we did in the early days of the internet was get it into our heads that everyone should be empowered to speak. ‘Cause we somehow overlooked that at least 50% of humanity is entirely stupid and utterly unreasonable.
• Shigeru Miyamoto is working with his hands again — I’m vaguely interested in Disney’s Star Wars world, but to be honest, Universal’s Super Mario World is more my speed.
• OG sealed iPhone breaks record selling for almost 2x that of a recent auction — There’s all kinds of outdated, classic tech that the collector in me covets. But I assure you, I wouldn’t pay $50 for an unopened 1st gen iPhone, much less $50,000. Fucking idiots.
