I just posted the first chapter of the lost #SuperMarioBros3 #SMB3 #Mario #Manga by Yukio Sawada. This has never been online before & was last published in a monthly magazine in 1988. Its been 38 years since anyone who hasn't held the magazine has seen it Find it here: archive.org/details/zine...

Can I vote -now-?

Godzilla Minus One (2023)

Supergirl: It was Fine! I look forward to Milly Alcock in a better movie next Summer.

All the kids that my kids go to school with, only play Roblox & Fortnite (and Minecraft on their school iPads) because almost any device can run them and there’s no paywall to get in. I’m not a gamer, but it’s wild how that industry learned nothing from the success of those games.

Now that I'm no longer in the affiliate marketing tech space… Good. If we can expedite the end of influencer culture (among other pressing concerns), we'd be better for it.

Three minutes at max? Too long! God, we are cooked.

Coming soon, 40 new flower pot monsters! Photographing them tomorrow.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

my feed today: apple: it’s fucking over microsoft: it’s fucking over supreme court: it’s fucking over video game devs: it’s fucking over Wario64: undertale $2.49 on steam rn

It’s very straightforward: I don’t need to pay devs anymore because I can use generative AI, which admittedly we know players don’t like. Fortunately that’s not an issue because nobody can afford consoles anymore, because of inflated prices due to AI. Let’s invest in AI. - a very clever businessman

I also get to host during THIS shift at #SGDQ2026. Let's get spooky, y'all.

I have the pleasure of being host during this shift! PRAGMATA is one of my favorite games of the year, and I cannot wait to see it speedrun at #SGDQ2026.

I really do get that these price hikes are hard to avoid with the RAM crisis being what it is, but if you're going to keep raising your hardware prices, you need to find SOME way to raise the value proposition too. And I don't think "closing a bunch of studios that makes the games for it" will work!

what a Baltimore icon. RIP.

Scrolling through my timeline… Today is just one of those all time stinkers, isn't it?

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

A "podcast" that is taped and released as video and features famous people is just a talk show that doesn't have to abide by union rules.

If I still collected discs, I'd be all over this. I'll just be hoping that my digital copy gets a 4K upgrade... www.ign.com/articles/mar...

Great even handed take. Great device, terrible timeline. but what isn't in a terrible timeline right now, yeah?

@soapboxsoftware.bsky.social hi there! Every so often (I've not yet been able to get a screenshot yet) the post count/timeline indicator moves from the center to the right, next to the filter. I assume this is a bug, BUT! I actually like how it looks. Any shot of it being a toggle option?

How did the games industry get to this? I spoke with one of the few people who had a front-row view of the biggest changes of the past 30 years: Rob Pardo, the current CEO of Bonfire Studios and former CCO of Blizzard. Now on Patreon. Subscribe to Post Games on your podcast app and get it Monday

If you asked me years ago which one I'd be more excited for… …I don't know that I'd expect my current answer.

A mall I will forever remember... - For having laser tag - For having one of the area's few A&W's - For being where I first saw a Mortal Kombat II machine - For being where I bought my PlayStation (with Final Fantasy VII) End of an era.

A few... - An early message board for action figure collectors was a favorite, made some literal life long friends from it - Twitter from like, 2008-2016 was amazing. Literally met my wife through it. - You know what? MySpace kinda ruled.

And with one line, this review of THE ADVENTURES OF ELLIOT on Polygon sold me. www.polygon.com/adventures-o... Reviews are pretty positive overall. opencritic.com/game/20344/t...

You see this dude in a movie and you gotta lock in

475 million of them are accidentally clicking on a link in Instagram and getting annoyed

the office couldn't be made today because it would be eight episodes for some streaming service that would schedule the second season for three years later and then cancel it for no good reason

it is really important to be loud about this stuff because it's typically kept very quiet to enable people to go "See? Nothing happened, it was just people being dramatic"

oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING
