i think what makes Punch-Out! great is how inscrutable it is. i've played this game dozens of times but if you asked me how it decides what's a knockout vs. a knock down, or when to use uppercuts most effectively i have no idea. the systems are opaque

basically, just saying i think you should watch, read, and consume art that pushes your boundries. i think its important

Nora-coded characters

one of my favourite things in anime is when a character takes a bite out of food and they make a "hom" sound

*waves magic wand* bippity boppity boo you;re a girl "but.... nothing changed" ohhh did u want a more feminine body? then u should;ve asked for that, silly!

today for pride I'm bringing back and remastering my classic old thread, long inaccessible on the fallen twitter, back for bluesky: What Final Fantasy Tactics Lesbian Are You? follow along at home, won't you?

probably the best thing about transition is no one will ever expect me to care about golf

incredible quote lol

it's my bubbel, and i like it!

sometimes i read about other people's family experiences and it really blows my mind. like whoa, families can work like that?? like, there's some tension there but it's clear that they care about each other and have a genuine interest in each other's lives? wild.

Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog Pasta (1998-1999): Canned pasta in a tomato/cheese sauce from Franco-American, shaped like weapons, a castle, and a dragon from the short-lived Fox Kids action-fantasy series from Saban, which was set in ancient Ireland

was trying out a new toque situation earlier for the winter months so here's my checkpoint tribute (STOP. This is a selfie checkpoint. You must repost with a cute selfie to proceed...)

today's been a good day (minus a rocky start). not sure what it is, just feeling good about myself and how i look. going to try to store these warm thoughts for when they're sorely needed in the depths of winter. like an emotional squirrel

Been sitting on this old photo I found for a couple months, so I could take another one right around two years later to go with it. Thanksgiving 2023 vs 2025 Never too late

Happy holiday shopping season! Consider Woodworking, and consider buying it from an indie bookseller, whether your favorite local store or Bookshop dot org!

Introduce yourself with five animals you have seen in the wild Black bear Humpback whale Moose Gray partridge Canada lynx

chilling out with some Picross. it's absolutely shameful that the new one they put out on Switch runs at 30 fps. like... all the others run at 60? it's a game where you fill in squares? how does this happen?

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: Prince Silversun Pickups Paul McCartney The Beaches The Rural Alberta Advantage

for you, Thanksgiving was the most important day of the holiday calendar. for me, it was a Thursday. (happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!)

look around your room. see how many cups you have that you haven't brought back to the kitchen. what does this mean? that's right: you don't have nearly enough cups. go get more cups.

i mean just look how cool this is

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

it's funny that iOS sees me as two different people and correctly auto-tags pre-transition photos of me under my old name

me from about 9 years ago, it's pretty wild what 1.5 years of HRT will do to a face

Wow! I've never seen it explained this well

The Mandalorian writers' room at any sign of resistance:

hey so Streets of Rage totally slaps, huh?

i find it frustrating how in the dearth of cis people being normal about trans people, there's a whole cottage industry of "gender-affirming" or "trans-affirming" versions of pre-existing services where they upcharge on the promise that they definitely won't be weird (they will be definitely weird).

Really loved this piece. It's really well-written (like all of Dia's work), but I'm also so primed to read about coming back to a remake of a 35+ year old game right now. The memories of childhood basement gaming are so vivid, but I also loved the musings on what that looks like for kids today.

The HD-2D remakes of Dragon Quest might modernize these ancient RPGs, but could anything recreate the experience of playing them on the NES? www.avclub.com/dragon-quest...

Last night I dreamed that my kids were watching End of Evangelion and some things *are* worse than YouTube

Canada is releasing a set of stamps celebrating the nation's graphic novelists. These stamps feature Kate Beaton, Jimmy Beaulieu, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, alongside some of their famous works.

legit not sure how to deal with YouTube as a parent. they started by watching educational videos but gravitated to this British weirdo who talks about his cats and Lego minifigs. a video recently joked about illegal immigrants being deported. it's set to 5-7 age range, but they don't moderate.

Babe, are you feeling okay? You've hardly touched your Kirbussy slippers!

I just discovered a game show I would dominate.

100% - said this before. gamergaters were and are the unpaid "enforcers" of management of the game industry. no reason to ever meaningfully try to do anything about these right winger harassment waves when they're the ones out there acting out what most of the management class actually believes

rt if you would tuck him in

I'm terrified that one day my consciousness will be revived and held in eternal torment as punishment for my failure to dedicate my life to campaigning for a modern revival of a certain beloved PSP franchise. I am facing down the horror of LocoRoco's Basilisk.

The proportion of female to male dialogue in Final Fantasy. #advx25

how is X-2 still below 50%??? 😭

yay i have eyeliner again!

hey it's been a year since i finished Phantasy Star III ! i think it gets a bad rap because the localization was a bit rushed, but playing it with the General Improvement romhack was a joy, very much recommended for fans of the series, the plot is absolutely wild
