Was just trying OG Final Fantasy VII out on Steam, and... ...Wait...was that audio-stutter in the opening FMV always there...?? It wasn't in the PSX version, was it? It's an uncompressed AVI file! Why hasn't anyone provided a proper audio-fix for it??

I don't know what they fed the bell peppers with this year, but they look larger to me than usual. Which is a great thing! Throw in some ground beef and cheese in one of 'em...bang! Evening meal!!

This evening I learned that I STILL despise it when a fan of Final Fantasy (or any long-tenured game franchise) speaks of their favorite entry as if it is the only correct, winning answer.

The idea of the poor getting screwed so that a group of government-assigned Proud Boys can screw the poor even further puts a knot in my gut.

An abuse of interrobangs!?!

You are far-safer standing near a goth holding a knife than your are standing near a priest holding your arm...

Sometimes it pays to repurpose your picket-signs.

I had no idea that the Rayman Run games were available on Windows! Maybe because you can only find it on Ubisoft's Connect service. Well, like usual, there are 'other' ways, and I had forgotten how much I freakin' LOVE the UbiArt Framework games!

@lupucs.bsky.social - I see what you have done

I'm fully-convinced that a playable Sega CD prototype of Brain Dead 13 exists and hasn't been discovered yet. The game's magazine-ad listed Sega CD as one of the planned platforms, and a specially-formatted trailer was featured in the Sega CD port of Space Ace!

Just tried @raycarrot.bsky.social's new Rayman Control Panel update. Because I'm a schlub and didn't know he released it days ago. =p Rayman 2 controller-support with Ray2Fix is MUCH better now. Still no right analog-stick function...But a BIG improvement over what GOG provides! ^^

Geez damn, even the English teacher used to give you a zero-grade if they ever caught you with the motherfucking CliffsNotes! What kind of back-ass Jedi mind-trick are they trying to apply here?

Trump may just be the harbinger of a new, eighth deadly sin...: 'Influence'.

I suddenly want cake. And maybe that's because I've been replaying 'Splosion Man.

I don't know why I got offended over someone's argument about pink light not existing. Okay, cool, groovy. Tell me in what other ways we should only allow primary values in our lives. I bet 'black' is the only crayon you banish from the arts & crafts room.

Except for the part where he still gets it in the eye and says 'Thank you sir, may I have another'.

67 is just 69 spooning.

I don't often talk about this (Mainly because there's never really an opportunity to bring it up), but the evening my father passed away I had a dream of him saying goodbye to me before he climbed into his Ford Station Wagon and drove off. I was 12. It was the last dream I ever had of him.

Sound is just ONE of the ways, but I get your point.

Xenia Canary runs Banjo Kazooie so remarkably-well it bothers me that they don't just finish the job and fix the star on Tootie's shirt at this point. =p

'Band from the early-90s'...? Tsk tsk, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social; 'Doctronic' sounds like a Eurythmics parody-band Mark Mothersbaugh would've made up after consuming too much spiked Bartles & Jaymes from his repurposed DEVO-hat! youtu.be/Fu5BBcRxZBE?...

...Is it possible that the only thing shorter than a 'present-moment' is the complete stoppage of time?

Did RFK recently read the Shel Silverstein poem 'Backwards Bill' and thought he was trying to set an example??

I just learned Jim Ward passed away last month. Suddenly, Captain Quark hits a bit different...But I've also always said if Quark had been created, like, five years earlier, it would've been Phil Hartman doing that voice...

I'm sorry, Sonic fans, but the moment you create your own 'Sonic OC', you -- 1) Fully-admit that the 'O' in 'OC' is false, and 2) Inadvertently put yourself in standing company with Ken Penders.

...Okay. ~sigh~ I'm so tired of journalists reporting how often these guys break the law, and doing absolutely-NOTHING to slap then in the face mid-interview, or hold their feet to the fire in any discenible way!

Whenever I see YouTube upload a Mr. Bean episode, and the topic-title says 'CLASSIC EPISODE' in all-caps, I think "Yeah...but isn't EVERY Mr. Bean episode, though?"

Mr. X is why Racer X went incognito.

Just learned of the magic of OpenGOAL, magically making the Jak & Daxter trilogy playable on PC! Currently only Jak 1 & 2 are playable, and I HAVE NO PATIENCE to wait for Jak 3!! =p ... ...At least I know now I've been spelling 'Acheron' right this entire time...

I find it disgusting how I have to wade through 25 years of unceasing hate against a long-dead videogame translation-publisher just to find out if a certain feature connected to them was ever given proper support on modern PlayStation emulators! For fuck's sake!!

PSX emulators still can't unlock that Lunar 2 trailer in Silhouette Mirage?

Just to let y'all know: Even as the world collapses around you and Satan is gleefully dancing on your front-porch beckening you outside, magic crystal-growing trees are still simple, joyful, and best of all, cheap!

Happy New Year! My room-mate passed away! Not even joking; He was in the hospital for the last month, was diagnosed with liver cancer, and I just got the call 20 minutes ago. ~party-favor makes a sad, disgruntled 'twirrrrrp'~

Last piece of Tails art I saw had him dressed in a Nazi SS-outfit, wore a swastika arm-band, and was doing the sieg heil -- At least three people defended it as 'artistic license'. I'll much-sooner defend this piece for NOT having a connected message about killing 6-million people!

I think it's time for the Trump-haters to stop acting like Gandhi and starts thinking like Guevara.

In a universe full of Tallests and Taks, why is our country being run by fucking ZIm?

First They Came – by Pastor Martin Niemöller. Read the poem. Heed its warning. Or continue to allow this country to exploit you until you're next. It's your choice while you still have one.

Never fails. The only way corporations know how to fight back against a negatively-charged profit opportunity is to keep forcing their own narrative until everyone eventually tires out and accepts it.

He's going to revoke the second-ammendment before enough people in this country grow the balls necessary to utilize it. Congratulations, NRA -- You fought hard for decades to keep your rifles in your cold, dead hands. And now you're too chicken-shit to even use them.

My autism was misdiagnosed as many of those, plus an extra dose of 'You're just making excuses'.

Blub, blub, plankton's my grub

There are two ways you can get a beautiful person to care about what you say...: 1) Tell them how perfectly-beautiful they are. 2) Dare to mention in what way they are not.

I'm gonna probably have an entire Jewish bloodletting for asking this, but if something being 'halal' requires such a strict process to be done to an animal, what, then, makes the pig an exceptiion by that point? No...please don't answer that; I'm sure any reply I get would only be out of anger.

Suddenly....I want a hot dog. Ballpark. Proper bun. Ketchup & mustard. Maybe some cheese and sauerkraut...yeah, that sounds really good to me right now!

Heed my stern warning, Uber Eaters -- Cancelling any order-in-progress will result in a processing-fee north of 20$!!

MTV RIP

Gotta be hell buying so many horse birthday-cakes, especially so close after the holidays! Forget the money that needs to be spent on gifts and wrapping-paper! Aya!!

Re-discovered this poem I wrote in early-2024 and had forgotten about it. I think it works eerily-more now. 𝘚𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘋𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘴, 𝘋i𝘯𝘪𝘳𝘰s 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘶𝘣l𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘺𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵; 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵?
