This trip will save their marriage

February 27 is a special day in the very specialized genre of "companion" Gameboy games with: Pocket Monsters: Red & Green (1996) Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages & Seasons (2001) BOTH *or all four* debuting on this day in Japan! Dig out that link cable and celebrate! Move saves! Trade Pokemon!

fitting that on the 30th anni i retvrn to the grass type (I didn't play Gen V)

Huge New Music Friday Started w the new Bon Iver live track. Sounds insanely good, knocked my fuckin socks off

i'm in love with this angry little shithead

The audacity of this administration of known pedophiles to call ANYTHING the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" other than a bill that impeaches and punishes every child rapist in office is off the charts... especially with a bill like this that will actively harm trans youth. Fuck this place.

Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

the time for posting has ended the time of making games is upon me

Back at it again in the mines

I love memories, and I love writing about memory, and I love movies about memory.

i’m gonna level with you kitten the walls are closing in on daddy

An idea whose time has come hellgatenyc.com/feed-the-met...

the market as it currently exists means that providing material products in exchange for money is actually bad for profits, it is better to cannibalize and charge people for things they already have

seems like making games is merely a by-product of what the games industry is supposed to do now

watched The Virgin Suicides recently and it's so powerful how effectively that movie portrays parents clinging to their misguided and harmful convictions over respecting and preserving the lives of their children.

The groundbreaking ceremony for 341 new units of truly affordable housing and a performance space in East Harlem opened with a performance of "Mamdani's Belongó Mambo," which Grammy winner Arturo O'Farrill told Hell Gate he wrote just two days prior.

“journalism is better when it’s backed by live markets” is easily the most cynical piece of copywriting i’ve heard from a company in a long while. it’s like if lockheed martin thought it would be a good PR play to print “inhabited towns are better with drone strikes.”

Kinds of Kindness I hate Yorgos's misanthropic hack ass with every fiber of my being

Faster buses on the Bronx’s busiest route, a continuous protected bike route all the way from Sunset Park to DUMBO, protected bike lanes around 10 schools in Central Brooklyn, and a connected bike network for Midwood, Flatbush, and East Flatbush. Streets that work for everyone—not just cars.

Taxing billionaires is always cool and correct. This stuff? Whack. Square. imagine being a teachers pet for a billionaire

A neighbor posted this on the door to my courtyard the other day There were at least 5-7 piles (PILES) of poop in the courtyard, most stepped in (poor soles)

insane to me that people feel entitled to have a pet without taking any of the responsibility of owning that pet. Clean up your dog's shit. I feel that this epidemic of uncurbed dog shit is the same pandemic-induced brainworm that makes NYC shithead drivers run red lights with their cars constantly

Most importantly, here is un-blurred Garrus

Been a fan of Isaac, Meat Boy, and Edmund in general for well over a decade. Hearing him and Chris talk about all the games' elements that had meshed with my psyche, in ways that I've rarely gotten to hear spoken aloud, was wonderful. Itching to have the opportunity to play Mew-genics someday soon.

“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups… “Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”

important to note and say aloud that this literally violates the Geneva Conventions

the culture swings between "any one who reads is being performative" and "here is one million words on why the book is better than the movie" and i have to say: is literacy a prison

Crazy that nine inch nails did a fanfic, this movie would’ve been so cool

one of the things that freaks me out the most about ICE chuds is that like, billionaires are detached from their crimes and human rights abuses, their obliviousness almost makes sense. But ICE agents actually enact the evil, commit crimes and are shamed every day, and still do their craven work

granting a moratorium of until the end of 2026 before which all of my loved ones to watch this movie or else
