Hivemind Times Issue #43

Welcome To The Hivemind Times!

Wassup family. Graydon here writing to you from the factory of madness. This week has been a rocker here at HQ. We filmed two massive brackets for the main channel that will be out soon for you to indulge in and dare I say they are some of our best work to date. Move over Eddie Murphy there's a new king of comedy and his name is Graydon and Riley. 

Anyway I remain humble and devoted to deliver you all with a fantastic read this week from contributions of many of your favs. We’ll show you some of the outtakes of the Movement festival film and supply you with other quality info and some glorious music recs. 

Stay vigilant and spread joy at every opportunity, with love G-man.

CRONK’S UPDATE

On the cold rainy night of June 4th, 2025, myself and my lovely girlfriend embarked on a treacherous journey. It started off as any normal night, but this night was special. This is the night we pick up our Nintendo Switch 2 that we preordered from the Best Buy in Roseville, MI.

As the clock struck 11:35 PM we briskly made our maiden voyage via a 2004 Honda Accord with 285,000 miles on it. Everything seemed normal until I heard the sound of a million raindrops. This is when I knew this night would be interesting. I thought to myself, “I really hope we can wait inside of Best Buy,” but as this rickety old Honda hit the pothole-ridden pavement of Best Buy, I knew this would not be the case. The line was wrapped around the building. I was shocked. 

Dozens of grown men, some of whom even had girlfriends and wives, waiting in the rain in unison. We all struggled together. We waited for nearly an hour. We stood in our Copes hoodies with no umbrella, soaking up an ocean of water. The fella behind me was calling everyone he knew on his phone, speaking very loud in a horrific nasally voice. It was mildly uncomfortable. I knew the pain would end eventually, which it did. The Best Buy employee treated us like king and queen and they served us this overpriced piece of technology. 

We made our way home. The console is pretty sweet. Mario Kart is cool. But more importantly, we made it out alive.

Thank you for reading this traumatic story. Be safe out there.
