ok time to record a funny podcast.

Kind of tired of hearing “but his approval rates are tanking” without also hearing “So we dragged him onto the street and are forcing him to march while we ding a bell and declare “SHAME! SHAME!”

I've no interest in the gecko starter, but if it makes a sound like a Tokay gecko, I might be in trouble. youtube.com/shorts/O8-Bf...

IF YOU AIN’T ON TEAM POKÉMON WAVES, YOU AIN’T SHIT.

If you invite Clint into your home, you will not be able to expel him from the premises until you cut off his head and stuff garlic down his neck.

Some people are saying Smiling Friends' "ending" with season 3 is a fake-out, and man I can't deal with that, I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop with Act III. #Protomen

I feel we'd be better off as a society if older men told themselves "My dick doesn't work so good any more, and that's OK" when they reach this point. Hell, normalize pissing on golf courses. Most men are capable of aging gracefully but the ones that aren't currently have the nuclear codes lmaoooo

Mega Man X9.

There’s a potentially very interesting and very cursed discussion to be had about why and when it’s appropriate to reference real-world tragedies and atrocities in video games and related media. Gio is a great writer I respect a lot, and I think it’s reductive to say “lol it’s just Resident Evil.” ⬇️

OOOoOOOooOOOoooOOH EMILY

BAFTA discourse has reached the “What if he’d said [purposefully uncensored k-slur against Jews]??” stage and it is beyond time to mute the term.

Close enough. Welcome back, Blockbuster Video World Game Championship!

Maybe Yoko Taro being in charge of the new Evangelion means I'll finally get through it I'M SORRY I'M SORRY please don't kill me. I'm sorry. I ruined it.

Forever my favourite beastie boy.

The next issue of Pixels and Polygons Quarterly is shaping up to be a good one! Guest contributors for this issue include @nadiaoxford.bsky.social, @brendanlh.bsky.social, and @cloud-line.bsky.social. I hope you're ready to read about some odd Square games! Get your copy now!

Being a Jew in a post-Files world is a riot because dimwits are confident that we’re the source of the problems in their shit lives. Gas prices went up? 🧃. Guac costs extra? 🧃. Three layers of skin sloughed off their penile shaft because they didn’t wait for the microwaved kumquat to cool? 🧃🧃🧃!!!

Doomer TikTok losers citing John B. Calhoun’s “Rat Park” experiment as “proof” that cities turn people into cold-hearted maniacs, but they never talk about the Bruce K. Alexander follow-up experiment that proved rats/people aren’t bothered by crowds but actually need stimulation/a sense of purpose.

Whichever loser biologist said that house cats can’t chuff like tigers was talking mad nonsense.

It’s been an age since I read this, so I want to believe Protoman was having a Vinz Clortho moment with the washing robot. Protoman: “WAIT FOR THE SIGN! ALL PRISONERS SHALL BE RELEASED!” [Runs down street and falls over a fruit stand] Broom Guy: “What an asshole.”

20+ years as a games writer and in that time I’ve watched Sony, Apple, and now Microsoft slam their video game legacies into trees seemingly on purpose. All three of them made Nintendo sweat at least once in that time.

And then the judges would be like "Well, guess we have to give the Gold to Canada because they made the most goated music choice, sorry, those are the rules from ancient Greece itself." 🤷‍♀️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDiK...

“ALBERT! Get in here! Project ‘Furry HentAI.exe’ gained sentience. Looks like we’re going to have to kill again.”

Listen, Thoughts of a Dying Athiest is one of my all-timers, but I feel like Muse completely missed the point of 1984 in “Resistance.” Still kinda a banger tho so maybe I’m the asshole.

My brain automatically changed “Hokkaido” to “Thicc-iado,” and come on it’s not even 9 yet, it’s too early for my bad impulses to start their shit.

Good to see the internet is being normal about Pragmata.

THUNDER SNOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!! ⚡️❄️ #toronto #onstorm

I can’t think of a show that’s made me laugh this hard since glory days of The Simpsons and South Park. It’s my brand of humour, which is: -Some little freak always running around/screaming in the background -Bouts of vulgar comic violence -The sound of glass shattering at intervals.

I was just telling a pal that if you’ve been waffling between a Switch 2 and a Steam Deck, now’s the time to grab a S2 because this gongshow is going to get worse before it gets better. I understand the “boycott Nintendo” angle, but Switch 2 prices are about to be the least of our problems!

I KEEP STRAINING MY BACK WHY WHY DO I KEEP STRAINING MY BACK?

Happy Lunar New Year!! Fellow metal Monkeys rise up.

I don’t get why people post screenshots of bigoted dumbasses saying dumb shit in Nazi Land, aka Twaddle. Of course they’re over there saying dumb shit. They’re Nazis.

Falling back right in with the system Who'll see you falling back to the end When falling back is better than simply Falling back into pieces again 🎵

@cosmicmaria.girlonthemoon.xyz Hello!! You did the Rockman X manga translations, right? Love them! Any chance we’ll see X3 done someday? :D

HELLO we’re gonna do Mega Man nine times and you’re invited to watch us closely.

Wanna see a Nostalgia Nook turn into a Nostalgia Pit live and in person?? This is your chance! I just carry the aura of chaos wherever I go. I’m favoured by Dionysus, maybe? 🤷‍♀️

The problem with living in winter climes is sometimes you get THE perfect vibes and forget how brutal this season can be. (Also this rink smells like weeeeeed lmaoooo)

My book is so close, so very close, to release! Literally waiting on just one last thing! I’m pantin’ heah.

Hasbro sure is saving money by hollowing out classic franchises and selling the shells to nostalgia poisoned adults. I’m not the biggest fan of TF or Power Rangers but I respect legacy media as art, not just as a textureless cash cow. Hasbro is a world-eater and it’s not even voiced by Orwell.

Symphony of the Night on Switch. That's all I'm asking for, man.

<—THIS IS A SONY STATE OF PLAY FREAK-OUT ZONE—>

Dude fixing my plumbing in our apartment is having a conversation with his wife on the phone in Tagalog, and man, the “Why doesn’t this performance have subtitles?” folks would not last ten minutes on a Toronto bus.

Hello!! Finally got my #Protomen Act III CD, and by extension, definitive proof that The Girl / “Roll” is the daughter of Joe from Act II. “Oh yeah? PROVE it, Nadia! You flaccid excuse for a human!” Well, it has to do with what’s on the other side of this photograph. [Story spoilers!] ⬇️⬇️⬇️

A former friend of 25 years recently went off on me and said, amongst other colourful Jew slander, that the word “antisemitism” doesn’t mean anything anymore. I asked why it’s the Jews’ fault bad-faith actors on the right have purposefully muddied the term. She called me the C word and ditched, lol.

It’s fine everyone, they caught it. 😮‍💨
