Admittedly, I don't drink much beer. I used to want to try out new beers a lot more the years before COVID, and in 2021 I decided to take a year off beer (and most alcohol for that matter).  This year I checked into Untappd 77 times, which isn't bad. Some was to drink old favorites, and other times to try out new flavors.

 Continuing on with my Year In Review for 2023, today I'll post some screenshots from stuff on Reddit.  Not sure what the algorithm picks up as important on that platform (there was some complaining that I noticed in December), but it's still mildly entertaining. WhitePeopleFacebook is particularly cringeworthy - sometimes you can't look away from a trainwreck...

 Well, here we are!  It's Year-in-Review season!  I've gotten a few of these from the various apps and services that I use so I thought I'd post some of these.  I thought I'd start off with GoodReads since I track my books through that platform. I've been considering moving to the Fediverse or something similar, but still using the Amazon product.   My "goal" for last

Right after Gears 5, I jumped into the expansion game, titled Hivebusters.  This felt like a short game, but it was rather enjoyable! This one was also completed in  August 2022, and I think it took about 3-5 hours to complete.The game introduces a new squad,brings back some retired characters from past installments of the game (like Col. Hoffman), and a new location with a tropical island

Here's another review for a game that I finished in August 2022... so a little while ago 😂. Let's see what I remember from this (and the notes from my stub).  Gears of War 5 (Or just "Gears," apparently...) is the second game in a new trilogy?  It's a continuation of Gears of War 4, and it still follows the same group of Kait, JD, and Del (and their robot Jack) on new adventures. 

Completed July 2022Why yes! It did take a while for me to write a little something about this game 😂. It's been in my drafts folder since July 2022 and over the holidays I've been going through my drafts to see what I can write about, and what I can just let go.  Since I like the Gears franchise, I thought I'd add my 2c about this game.Just to set the scene, Gears of War 4 takes place 25 years

One more finale to catch up and give my 2c (not that anyone cares 😎) before 2023 gets out the door! This year saw the end of one more DC television show.  I have the sense that the DCTVU is another casualty of the WB/HBO changes that happened this year.One thing that really "broke" this last season was the idiotic break between the first 5 (or so) episodes of the season and the second part

OK, so here's a series to watch if you have yet to see it. It's an American adaptation of a British series of the same name.  I am not always a fan of adaptations, but sometimes the adaptation is on par and even better than the British Original.  I like both versions, but the American version has more episodes available. British seasons only have 6 episodes per season, or 7 if there's a Christmas

[spoiler alert] Adieu to the most disjointed part of the Walking Dead Universe!OK, I don't hate the series, but I generally thought - multiple times - "WTF is going on?"  I honestly felt that they tried to introduce a lot of different kinds of stories and plots, in a way that was, perhaps, more like an anthology series, but the main characters remained the same. I did get the sense that the writers

 Καλά Χριστούγεννα, καλές γιορτές, και με το καλό να υποδεχτούμε το 2024!Λίγες μέρες έμειναν πιά στο 2023.  Αυτός ο χρόνος πέρασε πολύ γρήγορα. Είχε τα πάνω του, είχε και τα κάτω του, και με όλη την βαβούρα δεν κατάλαβα πότε
