I haven't played or kept up with Magic the Gathering in years and years but I kinda want the Forgetful Fish deck secret lair they just teased. Magic is at its best in self-contained weirdo formats for perverts (rules perverts not EDH perverts)

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

Started work on this today. Looking forward to being able to share more.

I've made a lot of attempts at drawing over the years and reached "impress a nine-year-old" levels. I have decided that's as far as I go. I think that instead, universe, I would like to be a patron and commission artworks that I want to exist. Okay, so when does the money for that start coming in?

I'll tell you one thing I *don't* miss about wrestling fandom and that's everyone talking about Japanese people like they're children all the time for some reason

Pray for your friends with crafty, cynical souls and lumbering, powerful bodies. We Gray Mousers forced into Fafhrdom; we be-Smough'd Ornsteins; born to Izutsumi, made to Inutade. A lifetime of "Durr okay, boss," longing to "myeah, see?"

i have discovered never before seen documents detailing the creation of the failed American DarkStalkers cartoon series 1900hotdog.com/2025/09/nerd...

The Knights of Guinevere pilot is cool as shit but man, the whole "buy merch for the 25 minutes that exists so we can hopefully make more" thing kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I know it's basically crowdfunding but like. It sucks that you can't just make stuff that's cool as shit

this doesn't mention it, but a big reason so few kids got shot in CO is because beyond getting them out of harm's way, this kid risked his life trying to restrain the shooter. he's in critical condition because of it and needs help. www.gofundme.com/f/help-matth... www.cpr.org/2025/09/17/m...

Why learn to play the guitar well when you can simply put reverb before distortion in your pedal chain and sound good that way

Happy tenth anniversary to my favorite game where you play as an unexpected arrival in a strange world far below the surface of our own, wrestle with tough moral choices, make new encounters - some skeletal, some fishy - and follow the guidance of an anxious scientist friend who's trying her best

I've said this before, but let me make my wishes clear: Do not make an AI version of me to talk to after I die. I will record the story of my old band's first gig in Washington DC onto a cassette tape, and you can put it in a Teddy Ruxpin. You can sew a little Banshees tee for him if you want.

The coolest fighting game series of all time.

Current plan is to stick with SF6 until I get good enough to find it boring and then pivot to being really into like, Alpha 2 or Waku Waku 7 or something

The mouse switch buttons sounded weird and gimmicky at first, but I figured I had to try them as an arcade controller dork, and I like them a lot more than I expected. I prefer the OneFrames, but they don't fit my main panel while the Flashtaps squeeze in. One of you hurry and make screw-ins already

This was a joke but it would probably be my favorite video game of all time

I've been going through the full run of Calvin and Hobbes with my kid lately. We're already into 1995 and I gotta say it's even funnier and better drawn than you remember it being.

New favorite quora answer: Someone asked if Feilong and Chun-Li were real Chinese names, and a Chinese person replied "I guess they could be, but it'd be like Americans being named Diehard and Pretty."

Not me over here thinking "hmm Jon Benjamin Has A Van probably isn't unknown enough to qualify" while everyone and their brother says Firefly like you guys have been able to shut up about that show for five minutes since the moment it got axed

Seeing a lot of "oh great, more Three Houses discourse," but friends, I played Three Houses and posted about it online the entire time I played it and have never seen, let alone participated in, "Three Houses discourse." Truly our prisons are chiefly of our own making

Are you sure this is yuri? Neither of them is a giantess and nobody's eating anybody

Alan Moore is gonna go down in history as the most vindicated curmudgeon of all time

We're all leaving. We're all going back to the somethingawful forums. They're pretty good now actually. We're taking the word goon back

DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX Reco.ver (大往生DX-ﾚｺver.-) was preserved by Yuuku! Only sold on December 30, 2007, this is a score competition variant of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX. Given how it was only available for one day, this may be one of the rarest i-mode games preserved so far.

Black Francis remembering nonbinary people mid-song and trying to be respectful: Here comes your friend

Bittersweet day; bidding adieu to one of the longest and silliest projects in my career as the subbed series finale of Godzilla Island hits Youtube. I was the English dialogue editor, and I hope you understand I don't say this lightly: it was a hoot and a half. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

You know I'm playing the fiendishly difficult bug game (Mushihimesama Futari)

Say one thing about this guy, one look at his face still has me singing "he'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear" to myself for the next day and a half

Thinking of going ex-JET sober (that's when you don't drink except for nihonshu. Not to be mistaken for JET sober, which is when you only drink Japanese microbrews)

Just caught a lag spike against SF6's V-Rival that made me think someone had managed to teach Sim Sim how to ragequit for a sec

Nice of them to print the tierlist right there in the ad for everybody

Starting to wish I could go, like, a week without thinking of this episode of Community tbh

There is no such thing as "free money" in game development, and even if there were, it certainly wouldn't be in designing DLC costumes or porting games to new consoles.

The Pro Family Forum’s early 80s Satanic Panic pamphlet "Dungeons and Dragons: Only a Game?” has it all: - a great cover - a description of D&D guaranteed to entice 14 year olds - a list of other, “more sophisticated and cruel" fantasy TTRPGs to try

Wishing all my fellow flubheads a joyous September Fish

I'm normally not the type to get distressed about aging, but waking up the morning after my birthday and turning on the news to see "Mana Ashida (21)" is pushing it

Chun Li #streetfighter

Saying "Lankhmart" over and over again to myself because I know I'll need to say it a lot for my upcoming DCC campaign and I'd rather not have to imagine a store where Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser go to buy discount sword polish every time I do

Why are all the people who were supposed to be the smart ones in games media doubling down on twenty-year-old "Linux is hard" and "building your own PC is a nightmare" takes lately

The trouble all started when someone took a perfectly good list of Vin Diesel Facts and find-replaced "Vin Diesel" with "Chuck Norris"

Most serious shmup fans fit into one of two categories: developers and people so incredibly clueless about all aspects of the game development and publishing process that you could say the opposite of whatever they believe about it and be almost entirely correct

You see more and more nametags (or their digital equivalents) at industry events and online spaces with space to specify pronouns, which is a good start, but there should also be a spot to fill in whether you've ever been cool or not. I have a lot of conversations where that would be helpful to know

People rag on adults who're into children's media, but then you see some of the posts on Reddit about The Good Place—a show where one of the characters is a professor who all but literally explains each episode's themes to the camera—and it's like, hmm maybe y'all should stick to Bluey after all

Sources at the White House say the president is out on the balcony burning coffin nails and listening to My Bloody Valentine's "Lose My Breath" on loop and won't talk to anybody

You'd think those would at least be Pearl lyrics, but no, it's Marina
