Just checking but we all share the headcannon that whatever Bob Harris whispers in Lost in Translation is the same thing Gendou tells Ritsuko, right?

Kiki saving Tombo from the collapsing dirigible and “This is What it Sounds Like” from Kpop Demon Hunters are the same scene.

Reagan and Bush and Bush at least had PLANS. Big thick documents prepped by smart people on how to do the bad thing, justify the bad thing, mitigate the bad results, and prove bad thing was good. This is going to be immeasurably worse for us all

Inspired for the new year and LEGO gameboy to prune my inspiration menagerie into a personal timeline into my game career.

Aaaaaaand Stranger Things sticks the landing. Happy New Year

My second Mega Man boss entry in 32 years. If my luck from last time holds, look forward to fighting Drain Man, designed by someone who isn't me. But in all seriousness this was fun. Please don't laugh at him this is literally the best character I've ever drawn.

Maybe late to the party but we got there. (This is a first batch but my batteries exploded and the repair service slapped that sticker on it after the repair)

35 years ago today I beat Mega Man for the first time. Later, after returning from the beach, my neighbor from Virgin Games invited me over to play his imported Super Famicom, the first step on my path into the industry.

Finished Murdle v.1 and as someone who keeps all books I'm having a real struggle with the fact that the only logical next step is to throw it out (or recycle).

1. I have faith the Malcolm revival will be fun. 2. Please join me in our King of the Hill / Malcolm utopia 3. The only acceptable wink to Breaking Bad is a suggestion Lois is cooking something in a lab. Never Hal. Do not do it.

CA wishing you a rainy Christmas and an Artax New Year

Folks, showcase those sandwiches

Wife observed that dead battery warble Zelda theme is also Mandalorian credits

Obligatory haul photo. First xmas without video games unless you count the LEGO GameBoy which maybe you should. But as soon as I discovered there is a gundam based on actual Shogun Ieyasu “I can’t believe it’s not Hiroyuki Sanada” Tokugawa, I knew I needed one so I’m the luckiest boy.

Only Rian Johnson writes “young dumb and full of Christ” and leaves it in the final script

Let me tell you. We took until tonight to finish that batch of Stranger Things, and we won. We outsmarted all of you.

This is how Dragon Quest OG’s do OG Dragon Quest.

You’re welcome, Bandai.

I wish morality paid cause the only group to ever offer funding for Mythri was ModRetro and when we turned them down nobody else showed up with money for doing the right thing.

Holiday Warning for those with fuzzy memories: half the cards at Target are repeats from last year. If it stuck out to you before it’ll stick out to you again - if you can’t remember last year’s card maybe search elsewhere.

@kumail.bsky.social giving me words I didn’t know I needed in his latest special (night thoughts on hulu) “Oh you want us to feel sorry for you [because your big movie (game) didn’t do well]?” “No! But *I* get to feel sorry for me” Preach.

The DQI remake experience is wasting an entire night trying to defeat Knight Aberrant early (with strategy) in Damdara, then forgetting to equip the Fairy Flute for the Cantlin Golem but disassembling him (with strategy)

The best part of this incredibly good video is the irony meter bursting as @jparish.bsky.social ’s infamous original use of Metroidvania is to claim the genre may have peaked. youtu.be/8seta8xyDQ4?...

I cannot endorse these Eva kids enough. From their reaction to ep25: “I mean it’ll all make sense next episode.” “Aren’t there MOVIES though!? Wait wait—“ “Wow can you imagine sitting through an hour and a half like this episode!”

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

I have had so many interactions with pro-AI’s who ask, “but wouldn’t you want something that can write the boring parts?” Or “give you ideas when you’re stumped?” No. The answer will always be no. Nobody who answers yes is an artist. Or a craftsman. The joy is in creation; the magic in struggle.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

The dog gets our first kanji stocking

90’s nerd watching Stranger Things: “that is not the NES version of G&G” 80’s nerd watching Stranger Things: “So it turns out that rich d-bag really DID have a special cart that looked exactly like the arcade. Still hate him.”

STOP WITH THE ARTICLES ABOUT AMERICA GETTING JAPAN-STYLE 7-11. EITHER PULL THE TRIGGER OR STOP TEASING US

In case you haven't checked the details of Capcom's Robot Master contest the deadline is JANUARY SECOND so please join me in a holiday break of stress and destiny.

That Mega Man footage has got to be the earliest build used in a reveal for decades. I am hyped because Mega Man. But that is barely a tech demo. There is nothing judge-able present.

(I will never accept “Galinhome” over Garingham)

We lost Chewie last night after 19 years. He kept on trucking without eyes for the past 5 years. Very sad loss. As far as pets go, a goat.

Earlier this year I got bluesky mad at someone for forgetting Rodney Reindeer’s name and y’all were like what a fun bit Tomm pretending to still care about a nothing character from 3 years in the 80’s…

Was wild seeing Melissa McCarthy play Resident Evil Merchant from @getplayedpod.bsky.social on SNL.

Watching stop motion Santa Claus for the first time and… …Ice King is just the Winter Warlock

Target nooooo It took you 6 months to sell through your supply!! Order a freaking Gelgoog!

Started DQ1. My main takeaway is appreciating that Erdrick has somehow survived as a localization for 36 years. They fixed the title, changed spellnames, towns, etc. But Erdrick remains. It would be one thing if EVERY DQ followed his descendants, but it’s just the opening trilogy.

I want to buy DQI+II on Switch 2 but I’m worried the moment after I do, it’ll go on eShop sale.

At long last Shaka Shaka reaches America

Final trailer for Return to SH suggests Mary drops the "special" and just beckons James to "our place" I'm dying.

any time I've ever said Jupiter was the best scout, I retroactively meant THIS Jupiter

Here's a sketch of sailor Jupiter as a fantasy knight I did: #sailormoon

McDonalds: "Holiday Grinch Meal!!" me: yawn McDonalds: "Japanese-style fry shake bag!" me: ...yes I just finished dinner but am I FULL?
