Tis the season for Homey Pizza

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

Tonight's time waster: making 45-year-old video look good.

President Dipshit here, there will be a War tomorrow. No I did not ask anyone else about it first. Thanks

The Video Game History Foundation does incredible work, of which this is just one example, but let's also all agree that @philsalv.bsky.social is a goddamned national treasure

Surprise, we preserved Sega Channel Like all of Sega Channel

Bunch of YouTube videos need updating now

In the USA even the very wealthy old men must perform as gladiators until death in inhospitable outposts like Indianapolis in order to provide their children with medical care.

Simba (1969-1972): A tart, lemon-flavored soda from Coca-Cola, marketed as a "pure, thirst-quenching beverage." Known for its distinctive green, embossed glass bottles. But the background, roll-out and demise were a wild ride...check this 🧵

Huh. Ian Kennedy Martin wrote Mitchell. He basically cut-n-pasted the "Buzz off, kid!" scene from a script he wrote for The Sweeney. Having seen the #MST3K version of Mitchell a million times, seeing this scene in a British context with two different actors feels like a fever dream.

I am so proud of them. the kids did it. they made a new stupid number to say. they may now take their place in history.

Tonight I am at the THEATRE to watch a jazz band play Charlie Brown Christmas music

With this 7-yard touchdown pass to Josh Downs, 44yo Philip Rivers becomes the weirdest man ever to throw for a touchdown in a NFL game.

Reminds me of this Kellyn Beeck story I recently found in our archives. A Moxie enthusiast from 1982. youtu.be/rxAm7TEBbxE

Wal-Mart is open until midnight for the holidays and there’s a bunch of high school kids here giddy that they can run around the store “so late.” Heartbreaking. They have no idea what was taken from them.

Jucika Prepares for the Ball (Sound design by hypnadot on NG)

Lots of well-deserved love for Rhea Seehorn, but damn, the guy who plays Manousos is killing it, too

rare post that gets better with every single word

We're 93% of the way there, just a little more! gofund.me/16ef32cb1

haibane renmei is p good

Warner is in this very weird spot imo because he was part of the very first wave of Logical Republicans Running As Dems so he’s missing a lot of the characteristics of his latter-day counterparts

Love that they made her from Richmond. #RVA getting anime repping. Really need to do a Planetes rewatch, it’s been too long

The absolute best way to go into this show

Love, LOVE this Reki fan artwork 🪽

This looks really neat! We’ve come a long way since the days of Super Nine Inch Nails Brothers and Super Wheelchair Brothers

Seeing a lot of divisive reaction to this week’s episode of Pluribus, which for me might’ve been my favorite of the entire series so far. But if there’s one thing we all can agree on it’s this: tobacco causes cancer

As of today, the only person in this Daily Penn visual that hasn't been fined millions of dollars or convicted of a felony is Luigi Mangione, believe it or not

We're partnering with @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social + @megacatstudios.bsky.social to release Xcavator 2025, a never before seen NES game from the legendary Chris Oberth. 100% of profits go to @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social! Pre-order now to play the newest old game on the market: bit.ly/xcavator-2025

Yes it's true! Instead of the Game Awards I recommend watching my GDC lecture on the state of video game preservation. I put my entire ass into this and it would mean a lot if you watched. youtu.be/_00AjQNjgDk

*defunctland voice* The Imagineers, unprepared for park guests' new addiction to generating images of Elsa smoking weed, and indeed their *expectation* to smoke weed with *the real* Elsa at the park, had a difficult road ahead

A lot of people are one sepia tone anime away from "figuring it all out".

HAIBANE RENMEI

It’s sort of interesting that giving Sonic the Hedgehog a gun was a big deal but Nintendo has given Kirby a gun a few different times and no one really reacts because it’s like “yeah he’d have one”

That’s right ladies and gents it’s another night of me #haibaneposting in bed

The absolute best way to go into this show

I can’t say it’s super unknown but Haibane Renmei definitely was something rare to stumble on as a middle schooler in the early 00s. absolutely blew me away at the time and I respect how much it keeps its secrets to itself

😤

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Rodan is straight-up faded here

Join us tonight at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern for a YouTube Premiere of @frankcifaldi.bsky.social's impassioned, energetic talk about the state of video game preservation. This was previously for GDC attendees only, but has been unlocked for all. We'll be in chat! youtu.be/_00AjQNjgDk?...

Opa Opa should be allowed to have a guy inside him if he wants
