Maybe they have cookie sales...?

For those who may need a refresher, Loose Ending is my series of endings to things as told by me, closing the book on things that may have been ambiguous or otherwise ended without answering every question. This one is about the game from RockStar Games, Red Dead Redemption. Spoilers, obviously, for anyone who has yet to play the game.

I was posting the above song for my SotW, and a stray thought passed through my mind: what would a crossover between MLP and Descent look like?

...Now I feel the urge to play those games again sometime, if only to brainstorm ideas. Maybe someday.

I have almost the exact same PC, but with original hardware.

Well, kinda . . .

This is my first video on my new channel, which is a successor to an old channel I'd been neglecting. Bear in mind, my voice sucks, and my narration sucks more, but it's not much more than an intro, so I hope to improve over time.

Less than a week ago, Crafty Arts asked me if he could do readings for A Mad Glimmer and A Crazed Gleam. Now they're both up on YouTube. Thanks again, Crafty!

I just want to take a moment to thank my new patrons on Patreon.

I'm totally blown away by how generous they've been -- to the point where my first goal was met on the very first day: now that they're giving more than $10 per 10k words, I'm committed to writing at least an hour a day, no matter what. It's gonna be interesting.

The tapes rented out by Fotomat from 1979-82 were known for having weak video signals, often causing VCR's to lose grip on the picture. This was the studios' apparent attempt at discouraging folks from copying tapes (which were made specifically for Fotomat), 'cause, you know, everybody had two VCR's at their disposal in 1979.

For the curious, the film used in this demo is "Shane" (1952).

- Ben Minnotte.

VHS tape for in-store play at Major Video, a rental chain primarily in the San Francisco area from what I can remember (they had a pretty cool TV commercial on bay area stations, unfortunately I don't have a copy of it.) They opened one store in Davis in 1989 where I lived.

Eh- I 'll ponder its possible meaning/use later.

I know this is probably late, but I had to post this, because up until now, I had only heard a few things about what was really going on within Keyframe's life, and I honestly didn't want to believe it. I hope you do well in you new life Keyframe, you deserve nothing less.

So it's a Tuesday. THAT kind of Tuesday for us Americans. Election Day. I figure there's enough politics, fervor, and doom and gloom in your collective social media feeds, so how about something random and mindless and-- okay, honestly, that's pretty much all I've been managing lately, but I've been sick for four days. Give me a break.

Page break to save your feed some space.

Better late than never, here's the special Q&A video I promised celebrating 1 year of doing this crazy pony talking thing!

I know everyone is talking about the latest OK Go video--and believe me, I like it--but this other song from them is so much better (and the video is pretty cool too!)
