Review brah really tempting me with that Papa John’s dipping thing.

Really depressing to see something a friend worked really hard on come out today (as planned months ago) looking great but completely tainted by the cowards on top bending the knee to hollow threats from the fascists.

PSA, since there was some YouTube discourse a couple weeks back: You might want to double check this setting in the app (top of Subscriptions screen) to make sure YT hasn’t arbitrarily toggled it to “Most Relevant”, as they apparently did for me.

You can only keep 26.

I can’t get over how friggin’ cute she can be.

LMAO, citing Lady Decade as a reputable source on *anything* is one helluva reach, let alone as an expert on search warrants.

I don’t know who needs to see this, but I was reading about Him (2025) last night since it sounds like a fascinating misfire and decided to preserve this placeholder plot summary from its Wikipedia entry in all its machine-translated-from-some-Scandinavian-language glory. Spoilers obviously.

why is this so damn funny i do not understand

このポーカーゲーム筺体…見たことあるような… #DrawPoker #1982

Just ran across this random NPC, probably nobody important.

Trying out this Shadow Labyrinth-like that I’ve heard good things about.

It had to be done.

The Wrong Guy doesn’t have enough reviews to get an RT score, but every critic review that’s up there is negative, so I feel like it qualifies. And they’re dead wrong: Written by two geniuses of sketch comedy and an early season Simpsons writer, it’s chocked full of some truly amazing comedy.

The Long Walk…back to my car in the parking lot after watching The Long Walk at the theater. (Because I parked far away; the film was even better than I’d expected!)

I feel like it goes without saying, but I’m saying it anyway: If you can read and translate Japanese but can’t make a sentence that sounds like it was written by an English speaker for the intended audience, you’re not a good translator.

I also decided to try to break my Switch 2 with ACA Gradius III just for funsies, but it ran perfectly fine. I checked over the list, and it looks like they fixed every last one of the Arcade Archives games that previously had issues. Huzah!

I finally unboxed and hooked up my Switch 2. Currently putting it through its paces with the GOAT.

Apropos of nothing, beyond I guess me getting to discover this feature since the eShop that absolutely chugs for me on the Switch runs like lightning on the Switch 2: You can search for a term and then sort by (current) Best Sellers under that. And so naturally I tried this with Arcade Archives…

Yeah, I think it’s time to put Shinobi aside for a bit and try something else. I was having an okay time trying “Arcade Mode”, but started feeling a bit fatigued as I did a few runs of Stage 1 and realized how a “quick” run of that area seems to be at least 10 minutes….

Watching this gradually (45 minutes now), and there’s been a great mixture of stuff I know and WTF moments. Hats off to Michael Darling for making this awesome compilation! Mr. Smith is one I’d completely memory holed till now, but 8-year-old me watched the heck out of that talking orangutan!

I’m only 10 minutes in but, as someone who tends to remember most of the junk, I’m absolutely mesmerized by how many of these I’m drawing a blank on. God, I hope Scorch (1992) made the cut.

Hot topic for debate: I know, based on all of their other games, the voice here is probably saying “Presented By Sega” here, but it’s always sounded like “Patented By Sega” to me. I mean, it’s a game based around future tech, so maaayyybbeee? youtu.be/jFhDCITREXI?...

Rolled credits on the main game. Was not expecting to see the voice of Rick Hunter among them.

I’ve enjoyed most of the death trap puzzles in Shinobi, but this final (probably) one on the last level is really trying my patience. My max clear time on any of the Anko sections was maybe 45 minutes, rarely over 15-20. I’ve been wrestling with this one for hours.

24 years ago today, Keanu Reeves went public with the remarkable story that he was tricked into starring in a movie because the director forged his signature on a contract en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wat... No one's heard about this because it was not the biggest news on September 11, 2001

He’s so adept at stealth that he can even evade your average cartographer.

It’s a bit gauche to join a Discord server solely to try to boost your personal Twitch stream without even engaging with anyone there otherwise, doubly so if it’s not even really relevant to the server in question.

Oh on, Mediagenic!

Okay, I’m stumped here. I’m trying to install 2 x 32 GB sticks on a 2-slot board that should accept these per its specs (up from 8 x 2). Both sticks post fine individually in the outer slot, both fail on the inner one. System posts fine with both of my original sticks in there. Any ideas?

Trying to determine if these PC RAM chips were bad out of the box or if I just suck at seating them/at life in general.

“Frictionless Shinobi” just makes me think of that greased-up guy on that profoundly dumb Watchmen television show.

And when I say “an absolutely absurd amount of grinding”, I mean that I once got through a rewatch of an entire season of The Shield on my second screen while grinding in one late game area to get some trophy or another.

I’m still digging Shinobi on PS5, but I encountered massive frame drops in this area (Ankou Rift in Stage 1) due to the buzzsaws and the foreground graphics I guess? Anyone else notice this?

Trash collection in our neighborhood was on Tuesdays and would normally get bumped by the holiday, but they decided to redo the system for about 100K of us, so they just reset it to the following Monday. Judging by the curbs, half the neighborhood doesn’t know and is fully in Great Pumpkin Mode.

Oh fuck yes
