in high school some guy called a large friend “Greased Lightning with titties”

Happy Yaksmas to those who celebrate

the Shatner intro always surprises me, but the unexpected appearance of Kevin Meaney also throws me for a loop youtu.be/vw89o0afb2A?...

this checks out

finally watched a Christmas classic

annual reminder to check your spam filters if you're a RiffTrax fan

very proud of my new country 🫡🇨🇦

grabbed a handful of neat-looking indie games in the ongoing Steam sale

there’s a 40% chance this is elder abuse

a great Christmas gift for the point-and-clicker in your life!

Merry Strandsmas

a great Christmas gift for the point-and-clicker in your life!

the face of a guy who doesn’t know he won’t make it past 50

thanks to @spacecoyote.com’s positive influence, i decided to up my cardio game and started taking spin classes in late July. a little bummed that a vacation and three illnesses got me off track at the end of the year, but i plan to get right back on that horse (stationary bike) in 2026

i’m not producer on this episode but i decided to help out by befriending a real Totoro and learning how to play the totorina

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

can’t wait for this performance, HUGE fan of the snacking utensil

In "Lisa's Rival," Lisa struggles with the idea that her new classmate may be more gifted than her. Our guest: Betsy Sodaro, co-host of the podcasts A Funny Feeling and We Love Trash. talkingsimpsons.libsyn.com/talking-simp...

realizing now that Charlie is a Mr. Saturn

i hope everyone out there listens to my dire warning about Dragon Quest VII

i have never "sounded off" in the comments

very happy to cover this modern, 37-year-old Christmas classic in excruciating detail 👇👇👇

at last: good news

we used to make jokes about creeps obsessed with dating sims and now our modern thought leaders want to kiss the tiny lady who lives in the computer

more like the uncle of indie gaming who’s no longer invited to Thanksgiving

baking arc has begun

couldn’t find powdered sugar at the grocery store because apparently Canada calls it “icing sugar.” my grip on reality has been permanently fractured

not a bad Steam top three, though i was expecting Monster Hunter Wilds to be a 100-hour game and not JUST a 60-hour one (still looking forward to whatever the expansion might be)

very happy to cover this modern, 37-year-old Christmas classic in excruciating detail 👇👇👇

my wife had just gotten up to use the restroom before this scene so i couldn't elbow her to indicate i've already read everything on the Wake Up Dead Man syllabus

hoping to win a Webby or a Poddy for the extensive Video Power research contained within this 15th (!) Retronauts holiday special

TOMORROW on the @retronauts.bsky.social Patreon: our 15th trip to the holiday cabin 🎄 www.patreon.com/retronauts/

hate to see Takahashi go out on the worst game i've played this year. To a T has good intentions (and i was happy to support it) but i'm morbidly curious as to why it ended up so dull and broken. baffling!

few people remember this Muppet special, but it’s a Toy Story prototype with an additional gallon of nightmare fuel boxd.it/c21yip

‘tis the season… for beers with words like “chocolate” and “banana” in their names (and 7.5% ABVs)

Expedition Thiwty Thwee? uh, i THINK we missed the fiwst thiwty two! no, but sewiously…

there’s already enough Fallout ghoul erotic fiction available for free
