I wrote a 33,000 word article on the history of Apogee/3D Realms for my blog. It has some personal stories about myself and my time there, and I give some thoughts on EVERY game the company released from 1986 through now.

RIP Patrick Stewart. The first of the Next Generation cast to go, sadly. Looks like Avengers Doomsday will be his final film.
BREAKING: Patrick Stewart, the beloved actor best known for his iconic roles as Jean-Luc Picard in "Star Trek" and Professor X in "X-Men," dies at 86. nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-…

Me: I need to cancel my AT&T service.
AT&T: May I ask why?
Me: I’m moving.
AT&T: Where are you moving to?
Me: Somewhere else. Why do you need to know?
AT&T: It’s required for documentation purposes. It’s part of our cancellation process.
Me: Well, it’s not part of MY process. I’m asking you to cancel my service, not help me move.
AT&T: I’ll need your new address to proceed.
Me: You know what? Forget I said I was moving. I’m not moving anywhere. I simply want to cancel my service.
AT&T: Can you provide a reason for cancellation?
Me: Absolutely. Please document that AT&T is nosy, intrusive, unnecessarily complicated, and apparently believes canceling a service requires surrendering my future whereabouts.
AT&T: …
Me: …
AT&T: Okay, your service will be cancelled.
Me: So you CAN cancel it without knowing where I’m going?
AT&T: …
WHY DO COMPANIES MAKE IT SO DIFFICULT TO STOP PAYING THEM? 😭
Sometimes you just want to cancel a service without being interrogated like you’re applying for witness protection.
I don’t owe a company my life story just because I no longer want to be its customer. 😂

I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, it’s to Romero pwning Sandy on Twitter.
Hi Sandy. Are you well? This is wrong. On January 1, 1993, we sent a press release saying that multiplayer would be in DOOM, a full 8 months before you joined the company. We knew deathmatch would be huge. In that press release, in January 1993, we said multiplayer would be "the number one cause of decreased productivity in businesses around the world." We were sure of it, and we needed no convincing. I understand you are proud of your work on DOOM, and you should be, but please also respect the accuracy of your statements, particularly around game history. My concern is that these false statements are designed to trigger replies (like this one), reposts, and outrage discussion, all with the view of increasing your followers and subscriptions, particularly since this false deathmatch story (among others) is so easily disproved. I’ve even welcomed you to reach out to me ahead of time. You seem to appreciate game history as much as I do. Could you not also make yours accurate?

.. and then there were just two left. Walter Koenig has died, according to reports from family.
While most Star Trek fans remember him as Chekov, he SHINED as Bester on Babylon 5 - showing he could act if you gave him a chance to do so. #StarTrek

Was playing a little Nintendo Switch 2 today, and noticed a distinct slant with the most recent games there. I worked at Apogee for the better part of two decades. Hard to purge that from the system. :) @Apogee_Ent
An odd vinyl being spun today. I spotted this when in Target yesterday - its called "Snowy Setlist" - a compilation of mostly traditional Christmas music. My wife needed a pick me up, so it's playing today as she loves this stuff. The candy cane vinyl is cute. #vinyl #vinylcommunity #nowspinning

Got access to the new Asia album coming out next month called "Indigo". I was expecting just "more Asia" - you know that same kind of sound they have had over the years.
I very much enjoyed the album. It's not like I was expecting it to be bad or anything, but I was just expecting "Asia". I mean it sounds like Asia, but there's some good curveballs in here - very enjoyable music.
You can pre-order it here: ffm.bio/asia-indigo
There's three tracks available now:
1) The Traveller: youtube.com/watch?v=xxQmtk_m…
2) Echo of You: youtube.com/watch?v=OpyXnaGc…
3) Arcadia: youtube.com/watch?v=Xy9wwFKJ…
Been a fan of Asia since 1982, through a ton of twists and turns that I wrote about recently: joesiegler.blog/2026/07/the-…
Don't sleep on this, I found it quite good. @OriginalAsia @FrontiersMusic1

#AllMyVinyl #165 - "From the Dark" from @TonyIommi #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinyl
Tomorrow is the release of Tony Iommi's new solo album "From the Dark". I've had my hands on it for a little bit now, I whipped up a few thousand words about the album. Some heavy as shit riffs.
