Since we’re just making up stuff About the guy guy now, I choose to remember Charlie Kirk as an outspoken defender of trans rights. RIP Charlie, you’re with trans Jesus now

I hope my dumbass representative who voted to memorialize Charlie Kirk on Friday is noting how that spirit of bipartisanship is being rewarded at his funeral

the glazing is out of control

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

I guess when you run out of guys you make up to get mad at, you have to start making up guys you can eulogize www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

everyone should post that earth wind and fire song on the 22nd. as we experience time in a linear fashion, you cannot remember the 21st night of September until the 22nd at the earliest.

“why some people be mad at me sometimes” they ask me to remember but they want me to remember their memories and i keep remembering mine - Lucille Clifton [writing the most Black woman poem of all time]

if you are in a professional or personal situation where you cannot fully divest yourself from something being rightly boycotted, you've got an easy out: shut the fuck up. no one asked. you're free. i'm not your priest.

Apocalypse Hotel episodes 1-6: this is a sweet, charming, and surprising show about finding one’s humanity in difficult times Apocalypse Hotel episodes 7: what Apocalypse Hotel episode 8: hahahaha OHMYGOD this is the greatest show of all time

When I play old JRPGs, even if the game’s not great, I usually find something interesting about them that increases my understanding of the genre as a whole. A mechanic, a character, maybe even a whole arc. When I play a so-so old adventure game my takeaway is, “that was a mediocre adventure game.”

What do you *mean* the “Deftones” aren’t a 5-person harmonic rap group

i just think if you’re hot, you shouldn’t have to learn how to parry

THEY DEFORMED ME, COOP. REDUCED ME DOWN TO ONLY MY MOST RECOGNIZABLE CHARACTERISTICS. I’M A CUTESY SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF. THE BOYS AT QUANTICO ARE CALLING ME A “CHEE-BEE.” I’M SEVEN CENTIMETERS TALL, COOP. 150 GRAMS OF VINYL PLASTIC.

Buckle up, I’m gonna say something controversial-yet-brave

I’ve still got my hand drawn maps for “Gateway” and “Spellcasting 101” 🤓

Who else up Squirtlin’ their Saturday

it occurs to me that some of you may not be aware of the completely insane UI for the Legend Entertainment quasi-text adventures

it's very funny reading professional iPhone Air reviews 'who is this even FOR?' I dunno, maybe people who want a phone? instead of people whose literal job is to compare camera megapixels between different hardware configurations

this exists it is called thinking

Bad news: I've figured out how to reconstitute box art from the source files

Every Amiga game is like “yes, it’s not very good, but you have to consider how impressive it was in 1992”

All right so I installed every Amiga game ever on my PC so let me know if there’s any Amiga games I should check out

We have Druaga at home

All right, even if it’s anachronistic I could not deal with the wires, so the retro CRT battle station now has an 8bitdo Fami keyboard

EGM², a spinoff of EGM that was meant to be a second edition of the magazine. Then it became the tip magazine Expert Gamer. And THEN it was rebooted as the teen-friendly GameNOW. (Yes, we have all three!) archive.gamehistory.org/folder/0721d...

I'm starting to get texts about this now so I guess I need to say something: There is a fundraiser going around about a "preservation disaster" raising money right now that I highly advise you to stay very far away from. A particular British tabloid is running with it unquestioningly. Thread:

The ACIP vote was tied 6-6 for requiring everyone to get a prescription for the COVID19 vaccine. The chair broke the tie by voting NO. Prescriptions will NOT be required.

No one is going to fight this in courts and win and have a piracy free-for-all. Do not engage with this fundraiser, do not believe the weird hype. A recycling place fucked up and a reseller flew too close to the sun, and that's as elaborate as this story gets.

Remember that Harrison Ford was discovered on-set as a carpenter before playing loveable scoundrel Han Solo and adventurer Indiana Jones. That makes him an "Indy rogue-like deck-builder."

Playing old DOS adventure games and getting a Proustian frisson from the short CD-ROM seek delay before every poorly-acted, blown-out mastered 22Khz WAV file. Close your eyes and imagine the too-loud dialogue completely overwhelming the FM Synthesis soundtrack. This is the future of gaming.

This is cool. Someone shoved an emulator with Sega’s early racer Turbo into a Tomy racing toy youtube.com/shorts/rrToK... Sidenote: Turbo and Buck Rogers used analog scaling hardware

FINALLY nabbed one of these, after like a year of trying

"i cant stand that hack koichi sugiyama" "oh cuz of the homophobia and stuff?" "no his hot air balloon theme was too melancholic and was an insult to the euphoric experience of riding an actual hot air balloon, which is one of my favorite pastimes."

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

Wednesday S2 has accomplished the nearly impossible task of making me unhappy every time I see Catherine Zeta-Jones

JESUS: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani CHATGPT: you’re completely right. And I want to thank you for holding me accountable. It looks like you’ve somehow got nailed to a cross

i think a lot about @elmore.zone a while ago saying that being on social media was like hearing the Halo critical health "beep beep beep" sound over and over and opening Cohost was like hearing the "bwwoooOOOOOP" of Chief's shield regenerating

Cancel Disney+ today. Just do it! Resubscribe later, or don’t. But tank their metrics so hard they shit their pants today

downloaded a 1994 windows application suite disc to see if it'd have any goodies on it, sadly not a ton interesting but i did get a laugh out of 'rat.bmp' with the capybara here
