They should start marketing presidential candidates as a crew of like 3-10 people instead of one honcho. Y'know, so it'd be like "Are you gonna vote for Digital Underground or The Strokes?" Also they should perform original music.

At Capcom I was GregaMan. At Sega I would be the Grega Grega Drive, aka the Grega Gregesis.

Just played through Ninja Gaiden 3: RE for the first time. I skipped every cutscene, which mostly worked out great, except 1) I don't know if they ever explained why Ryu can just fly in this one and 2) I don't know what this "slice little girl" QTE was all about. Did I slice the little girl??

Well, despite the still frigid weather, the house centipedes have decided winter is over, thereby commencing the only other season. House centipede season.

Ah man. Double Dragon was genuinely the first video game to sell me on the whole concept of video games, when I was like three. "Beat up bad guys with your brother." SAY NO MORE, WORLD

Somewhere between the grinder and the filter, a big spider got into my coffee grounds without me noticing. When I started pouring hot water on them, they started SQUIRMING and I FREAKED TF OUT and batted the whole apparatus over, getting coffee everywhere. My computer, my socks, the whole of Easter.

Someone on Reddit pointed out that if a band were to write a song like The Smashing Pumpkins' "1979" today, it would be "2010." Of all the ways "You are old" has been sliced, this one cut the deepest.

VGA is the number one southern gaming podcast

Love when your fave gets a whole extra D and it works out.

The Raven would have been so different if the phrase the bird happened to know was like "Next Thursday"

You guys ever been to Oasis 21 in Nagoya? That's a 32X.

Hot take, but Mega Turrican is basically a CAG

Rewatched Speed over the weekend. That is a fun, fun movie, but Dennis Hopper's character really staked $3 million on a bus being able to maintain 50mph in LA traffic. It's actually kind of hard to think of a worse ransom ploy than that.

I love this dude.

Oh man, this is almost exactly the fight controller I've always wanted, except I would've attached that swivel joint to the bottom of the d-pad thing so the d-pad was elevated like a flight stick.

Back on my boomshit. I spent almost $80 on a replacement laser for this thing and I only kind of know what I'm doing. But man, if it works the satisfaction will be grand.

You ever wonder if the Fine Young Cannibals ate the lady from that song?

Why your support matters to me. As billionaires buy out media outlets & as the FCC consolidates media into a monopoly and State TV, the need for independent analysis is more important than ever before. Consider taking 1, 2, or all 3 of these calls to action. www.qasimrashid.com/p/why-your-s...

Anyone else have a thirty-year obsession with 90s also-rans Sponge? I must be one of their biggest fans outside Michigan and I still think those first two and a half albums hold up fantastically.

AI-generated-ass guitar

Man, I really want a 32X, but the most I would pay is like fifty bucks since they suck so hard. I just want a second floor for my Sega.

So I'm still playing FFX, and I'm at the endgame where you unlock the world map. I tried to go straight to the boss, but after a good fight in the first two phases, he completely shut me down in phase three, like an hour into the battle. Online consensus seems to be that you've gotta do side stuff.

This was the "medium" cream cheese. Which I guess makes sense when you consider how much they put on one bagel if you get it made there.

A lot of ppl who enjoyed our Bulk Slash project missed this one, but it greatly benefitted from all we learned on the former. SASS is, if not the Saturn's *best* 3D game, certainly its *most* 3D game. And @silos.bsky.social 's Mission Stick implementation makes it the best Mission Stick game imo.

"Cured ham" correctly implies the existence of diseased ham.

Felt like an absolute dumpster all day until I went to host the local open mic night. In-person community really feels essential.

As a pretty generic-looking guy, I see with some frequency guys who basically look like they're the same rig as me ± whatever life experiences. Unfortunately one of those guys is Stephen Miller, which makes me feel guilty by resemblance. Where did I veer?

Gnome Chompsky, is that anything?

The weird thing is, Mega Man Legends is definitely one of Capcom's best games ever, and certainly better than most Mega Man games. Seems like they should have rebooted it by accident by now.

I've got a 20-minute music gig on Sunday and I'm getting very hyped for it. I've finally started to feel like I have a distinct style and things to say.

I'm relieved that the Ludovic story seems to have reached a positive conclusion, but there's no overstating what an abomination of justice it was that he was subjected to such indignity and torment in the first place.

One of the words I missed on the JLPT was 前倒し, and I was kicking myself bc I knew I'd seen it lots of times at work and probably even used it before. I just couldn't remember if it meant "delay" or "hasten." Googled it later and got "move up." Ah yes, I forgot this expression sucks in both tongues.

the official organizers and lud's family spoke with @therealnews.com on a podcast organizers are asking this story be boosted to increase awareness and visibility for lud's bond hearing tomorrow source: therealnews.com/ice-snatches...

Hegseth and anyone else claiming “oops, I accidentally massacred 175 children” are not above the law.

Reading list for the next few weeks.

The US/Israel led illegal war on Iran has so far killed: •7 US soldiers •13 Israelis •1200 Iranians (mostly civilians) Iran is targeting military bases. USA & Israel are targeting civilians. This start is a repeat of the mass collective punishment on Palestinians. Congress must shut this down NOW.

Not the Idoru I imagined, l’m afraid. (Actually the previous sentence can be two, as well.)

Wise words from the Eden Express

Grateful to @thebaltimorebanner.com for covering Ludovic's story! Keeping up pressure this week is extremely critical! Please call your representatives and spread the story! #FREELUD now and always www.thebanner.com/community/cr...

I am disastrously terrible at RE: Requiem except for when all you have to do is parry.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

I'm only just now wondering this, but how exactly did Joe get out of this bind in the end? Wizard?

I love Japan's upside-down dead babe subgenre

Unpopular opinion, but sometimes I think it's actually better when you do bar some holds.

Rare that the fact checkers don't end up finding ANY

Does anyone else have this thing in Windows 11 where your computer crashes every time it goes to sleep? Tbh I thought Windows 10 was fine without that feature

When're we gonna revive this one youtu.be/UAFuBJtSy9A?...
