It is the 90s and there is time

a fun thing about the Bad Air Situation is that my computer's weather app says the air quality is 137 here my phone's weather app says 258 the EPA app tells me 395 i mean, ultimately, i'm avoiding outside and wearing a mask when I do, but damn.

Darren Bailey on FB actually posting photos of his meet and greet in Chicago where like 10 people showed up 😂😂😂

Went from ambient antipathy to praying that @372pages.bsky.social will get to this one day. the Cline levels seem dangerously high.

americans can't stop eating vegetables, even at the risk of explosive diarrhea. are we too healthy?

one of the biggest disappointments of brandon johnson’s tenure as mayor is his absolute lack of a backbone on major campaign promises. he’s now used/proposed using hundreds of millions in tif funds for billionaire-backed united center, the 78, and foundry park (fmrly lincoln yards) developments.

One LLM would be bad for this, but why did they use THREE

In hindsight this video was more of a warning about the super diarrhea to come

every time trump is president you gotta wash your groceries

listen. this press cycle has not been great for ol Andy. but dont worry- once everyone gets a look at Gollum's incredible romance with the beeeeautiful Lady Gollumina, everyone will forgive him variety.com/2026/film/ne...

New meme just dropped

If your hack and slash RPG doesn't end with a revelation that the fantasy world you're on is a space ship does it even count?

This is a bill Illinois’ Attorney General, Kwame Raoul (D), has lobbied for for years based on moral panic manufactured by retailers, police, and surveillance tech vendors. “ATTORNEY GENERAL RAOUL CO-LEADS BIPARTISAN COALITION URGING CONGRESS TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST RISE IN ORGANIZED RETAIL CRIME”

In 1993 Myst released and neither @decafjedi.com or I seriously attempted to play this mega best selling game. Today on Quest Quest we talk about playing Myst for the first time decades later. Listen anywhere or here: zencastr.com/z/9a8Vrr5-

I want to be bored again, dear lord please bore me again.

Okizeme, or setplay, is an important concept in fighting games where an attacker forces a defender into a disadvantageous position. The origin of okizeme is debated, but some say the earliest example is Odysseus blinding the cyclops Polyphemus with a spike, allowing Odysseus to mix his ass up and es

Joke is on the AI scrapers. "Suno generate me a podcast about adventure games," and then its 50 minutes completely about other shit.

I'm still boiling about this. Maybe Illinois’ senators can explain why they think their constituents want ICE to run an expanded facial recognition database out of every Target and use it to do immigration enforcement along with federalizing petty theft (for everyone). But I doubt they'd deign to

I think people understandably but magically believe that surveilling your loved ones will protect them from harm because it promises knowledge and control. But when you get more knowledge but little actual control, your anxiety goes through the roof

In this age of AI slop fliers we must reward the places that clearly do not use it

In my experience, youtube is where the ads for normal stuff like groceries and detergent went, broadcast ads are for prescription drugs, and Tubi ads are the ads they play in Robocop.

This is one of my favorite episodes we've ever recorded. Not in a million years did I expect to love Myst as much as I did.

Tonight at 8 PM Central we're wrapping up Zork: Grand Inquisitor! Join us as this silly adventure comes to a close and if we have extra time... we'll pop into Virtual Springfield! Hooray. Join us then: www.twitch.tv/ps_garak

Who wants to play Siskel & Ebert: The Gathering with me??

everyone laughed at trump waving around maps in 2017 that just showed most of america was bright red (e.g. empty fields). But you can be on the edit board of a storied newspaper and still think the same thing.

new four elements just dropped

i'm actually mad about this

This week on Quest Quest: @bvigeant.bsky.social and I have avoided Myst for decades, but now we've played it, and we have thoughts! Did all the levers and buttons break us, or did we emerge as certified Myst-heads? The answer may surprise you! Listen here (or wherever): zencastr.com/z/9a8Vrr5-

One reason I refuse to buy into or give credence to the “Lindsey Graham was gay and hated himself” stuff is because it allows straight people to indulge in the old tropes of celebrating the shamefulness of homosexuality.

Happy heavenly 117th birthday to Curly-Joe DeRita. This is my tribute to the great man from The Journal of Stoogeological Studies Vol. 2

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about who should be the new Abbott and Costello wrt meeting Frankensteins etc and I have landed on the definitive answer: Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson “The Detroiters Go to the Backrooms” is a license to print money

I want to make a series of little pocketbooks of my funniest and smartest friends' Letterboxd reviews. Not saying Letterboxd is real Film Criticism per se but I do have buddies who have written individual lines that are better and more insightful than most professional critics' entire oeuvres.

one of the most undeniably good titles of a podcast i've ever heard, holy shit

Do you ever wonder if one weird French guy taking over American culture like this is some kind of karmic inverse for Jerry Lewis

if and when they irreversibly fuck up letterboxd, the bummer is that its one of the only platforms of that type I think is well done. I don't really like any of the versions for books, games, etc. Letterboxd is just very nicely designed in a way others aren't.

I don't know if there's data on it, but I get the sense that Letterboxd has been popular enough to materially make a difference for ticket sales, so these guys would kill the golden goose.

Trying to kill the theatrical experience wasn’t enough. Now Netflix wants to kill the social community surrounding the theatrical experience.

platonic ideal of a game announcement post

thinking about how many news organizations have lower standards for accuracy than Nickelodeon Magazine, which printed corrections every month under "Goof Troupe"

for many, youtube's recommendation algo is a pit of right wing radicalization. For me, it just keeps sending me c64 music, so i'm being radicalized in a different way (becoming familiar with 80s british games).

people dump on 80s and 90s gottlieb pinballs but they gave us shit like this so who can really say

this story is incredible
