The Kinds of People Who Annoy Us
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the kinds of people who annoy us. In the news, there's some sort of plebian kerfuffle about a toy store and a famous person, and most news media is no longer journalism. Also we'll be live at PAX Unplugged with three talks!Related LinksForum ThreadThe Kinds of People Who Annoy UsDiscord ChatThe Kinds of People Who Annoy UsBluesky PostThe Kinds of People Who Annoy UsThings of the DayRym - Sierra Screamin' 3D Graphics Accelerator from 1996Scott&nbs

Robots
Tonight on GeekNights, we talk about robots. Real ones from the real world: not movie robots. In the news, Igor has tasted blood, the Meta pervert glasses are getting regulated in Norway, and do not give Meta's Muse thing your credit cards.Related LinksForum ThreadRobotsDiscord ChatRobotsBluesky PostRobotsThings of the DayRym - Salman Rushdie on Candide: Where to BeginScott - The Weather Channel Classics

Con Drama
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the topic of convention drama. It takes many forms. Attendee vs Attendee. Attendee vs Convention. Convention vs Convention. Convention vs Nature. Convention vs Itself. In the news, Malaria is at Frankfurt Airport, never ever pull the emergency brake on a train, the new Resident Evil movie might be good, and the Transformers movie is in theaters again.Related LinksForum ThreadCon DramaDiscord ChatCon DramaBluesky PostCon DramaThings of the DayRym - Cam

The Old Prince 1871
Tonight on GeekNights, we review The Old Prince 1871. It's an 18xx game, and you can play an alpha implementation at 18xx.games. It's a good one, designed by Lucas Boyd. We've previously reviewed 1817, 1889: History of Shikoku Railways, and 1846: The Race for the Midwest: you know we love a good train game. In the news, the Steam Frame is finally here, Nintendo has a big sale, and the Nintendo Direct was overall solid.Related LinksForum ThreadThe Old Prince 1871Discord ChatThe Old Prince 1871Blu

Common Side Effects
Tonight on GeekNights, we review Common Side Effects. It's got a lot going on and is worth watching: it's only 10 episodes and evokes aspects of Fargo TV. In the news, Ghost in the Shell continues to be fantastic as it follows the original manga, Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia is phenomenal, and Goodbye, Lara is absolutely worth watch as a re-take on The Little Mermaid. Also, the discourse around Anime NYC's photography policy.Related LinksForum ThreadCommon Side EffectsDiscord ChatCommon Side Ef

E-Bikes, E-Scooters, et al.
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider e-bikes, e-scooters, monowheels, and all the assorted electric conveyances that aren't cares and that are becoming more and more popular everywhere there are people. E.g., what are the "classes" of ebikes? In the news, streamers are suing Twitch and Amazon for their opt-out AI model training, 404 tracked down the "rare book" AI training story, and the Steam Frame might finally be coming.Related LinksForum ThreadE-Bikes, E-Scooters, et al.Discord ChatE-Bikes, E-

Board Game Night
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the humble Board Game Night. Many of you host (or try to host) them. Some of them are public. Many are haunted by that guy. In the news, Big Walk is out, you can play The Old Prince at 18xx.games right now, and Rockstar Games is an evil union-busting company and it's going to court soon.Related LinksForum ThreadBoard Game NightDiscord ChatBoard Game NightBluesky PostBoard Game NightThings of the DayRym - Yahtzee Proficiency Test with Detailed Feedback

Data Centers
Tonight on GeekNights, we discuss data centers. Once as positive thing, they have become a blight on the Earth in the ever-growing wake of the AI bubble. Rym and Emily are back from Cedar Point and will have a couple of special episodes about it in the near future, and also have a secret VR project that's slightly less secret than it was before. In the news, the AI slop factory wants help flagging AI slop, and ZGM is an open source gaming mouse firmware.Related LinksForum ThreadData CentersDisco

The Ghost in the Shell (2026)
Tonight on GeekNights, we review The Ghost in the Shell (2026) animated by Science Saru. It's the original manga faithfully animated with a lot of style. In the news, The Last Blossom (HOUSENKA) will be in North American theaters for two nights, and Crunchyroll is destroying their own store (RIP Right Stuf).Related LinksForum ThreadThe Ghost in the Shell (2026)Discord ChatThe Ghost in the Shell (2026)Bluesky PostThe Ghost in the Shell (2026)Things of the DayRym - Spokanki - Tjovane (th

Intentionally Retro Technology
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the growing trend of seeking retro technology. From the Charmera to flip phones to audio cassettes, it's part aesthetic and part anti-consumerist anti-capitalist pushback to the ravages of modernity. In the news, Mamdani announces new Click-to-Cancel rule for New York City, workers in Acklam discover Medlar fruit trees (also known as dog's arse), and no technology is going to make exercising effectively take less time. Also, we did it.Related LinksForum ThreadI

Ice Cream
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider ice cream. In the news, DUNC 3 has a trailer, ICE appears to have covered up another brazen murder this time in Houston Texas, and the situation in Russia is destabilizing in a way that evokes 1917.Related LinksForum ThreadIce CreamDiscord ChatIce CreamBluesky PostIce CreamThings of the DayRym - A short comic about LennyScott - pizel skylines

Association Football
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the game of Association Football. More commonly known as soccer, it's a game of high drama, clever play, and FIFA corruption that is cemented in societal and cultural history. In the news, a Manhattan skyscraper is collapsing, XBOX is collapsing, YOASOBI x Overwatch slaps, and the new Ghost in the Shell slaps.Related LinksForum ThreadAssociation FootballDiscord ChatAssociation FootballBluesky PostAssociation FootballThings of the DayRym - EVANGELION B

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. It's a fantastic continuation of Adventure Time, which we reviewed in 2013, reviewed again in 2014, shared our final thoughts in 2019, reviewed Distant Lands - BMO in 2020, and Distant Lands - Obsidian also in 2020. It's also deeply metacontextual. In the news, Science Saru is bringing us Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia, the Lefebrvistes are schisming over Vatican II (again), and two people climbed to the top of the Empire State B

Bicycle Technology
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the current state and evolution of bicycle technology. Not all advancement in modernity is "good" advancement. In the news, delivery robots are a menace, the illegitimate and fully compromised Supreme Court's broken clock was correct on geofence warrants, climate change is killing us, and AI slop music should be demonetized.Related LinksForum ThreadBicycle TechnologyDiscord ChatBicycle TechnologyBluesky PostBicycle TechnologyThings of the DayRym - I a

Mina the Hollower (2026)
Tonight on GeekNights, we review Mina the Hollower (2026). It's fantastic, evoking the feeling of old NES games but with modern design sensibilities. In the news, the Steam Machine is actually here and still a reasonable price (considering the unreasonable pressure the AI bubble is putting on computer components), Civ VII added hotseat multiplayer, and Deltarune chapter 5 drops TOMORROW.Related LinksForum ThreadMina the Hollower (2026)Discord ChatMina the Hollower (2026)Bluesky PostMina the Holl
