I'm biased because I love my wife's books, but WILD GOOSE CHASE has some of my favorite jokes and situations that Sarah has ever written starring the most down-bad man you've ever met.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

35. How to Write a Love Story by Catherine Walsh Absolutely love everything Cat writes. There's one character moment in here that I'll be thinking about for the rest of my days and that's the mark of an incredible book, to me.

it's too late, i have already depicted myself as ernest, walking away with snow white, and you as dumbfounded robin williams

So you say you're glad that he's frozen in there and we're out here. And that he's the sheriff. And that you're frozen out here. And you're in there. But oh, you just remembered - you're out here. But what I really wanna know is... where's the caveman?

Can't do videos and images in the same post, but did want to show a video of what ESP Ra.De Psi looks like in action. Still learning shmups, but I think I did okay here

This is such a powerful image

Sarah and I have been watching Gosick which is a decent anime but has one of the funniest plot points I'll be thinking of until the end of time. A POPUP MEMOIR. The murderer documented his own tragic history in a pop up book and it's the funniest thing I've ever seen. It's so good.

34. The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay I loved this book. I think my favorite thing is how GGK writes, fully leaning into the beauty of language in some passages and exploiting the power of ambiguity in others. Just an incredible book, all around.

BIG Challenges 🐊

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

What a great headline

thinking of her today

It's Thanksgiving, which means it's time for my favorite tradition, listening to the Friends at the Table episode where they play The Most Wanted and Most Unwanted Songs. friendsatthetable.net/clapcast-the...

A fun fact that I learned about Jojo is that minor antagonist Midler (who was maybe my favorite to play as) got a whole redesign specifically requested by Capcom for this game that the anime then completely ignored.

ME POSTING: Good pussy sound like the Silent Hill radio ME AFTER I NOTICE A FAMOUS PERSON JUST FOLLOWED ME: More than ever it is so inportant to be apprised of all that is to be and furthermore to learn of all that could in the best manner we are able as this is the true delight of Life

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Let's all learn how to draw. Doesn't matter how good it looks as long as we're having fun making lines.

34. Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon (PC)

The DS is one of my favorite consoles ever. So many incredible experiences and phenomenal games. The four that come to mind are games that excel on the DS: while you can absolutely play them elsewhere (via re-releases or emulation), there's a real magic that comes from the dual screen experience.

Sure, I may have spent nearly six figures for my minor in art, but have you considered that I won a $25 gift card at work because of it? So who's really coming out ahead, here?

Some more sketches, the three comics from yesterday's episode of Crowd Control on Dropout and my quick attempt of the Frieren head looking up sketch. That angle suuuuucks, no thank you!!

Nintendo 3DS

Block Head

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

33. The Sins of Lord Lockwood by Meredith Duran Marriage-in-trouble books are hard to do well, but damn Meredith Duran absolutely kills it. Both sides have wronged the other, both are hurt and dealing with their own issues and each other, both have to forgive and be forgiven. Just a great book.

32. Asunder by Kerstin Hall I joked to my book club that if I had a nickel for every book we read where a guy got turned inside out, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice. (Really enjoyed Asunder, though!)

When you finally get Claimh Solais in Aria of Sorrow #Castlevania #art

A five minute face/upper body sketch and then about twenty 30-second hand gesture sketches as I slowly get back into drawing.

I spent over 250 hours getting a complete living Pokedex in X and I have no regrets

I'm going to spend the entire time building the G-Bouncer just saying "The Bouncer" like the PS2 game over and over and over

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say dick cheney died when he was out hunting and tried to shoot a bird in a tree but missed and hit a big branch which fell on his dick and smashed him flat and then the bird pooped on his head. don’t say stuff like that

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

pretty interesting ballgame they've got going on tonight

Great job, everyone, we did it again

Also, fun fact, finally noticing that my NES screenshots (and only NES) were being stretched the hell out had me spending several days digging through RetroArch settings to figure out what was causing that (turns out it was a screen filter on top of the shader I left on, whoops!)

I was made to watch a video today that was the most excruciating hour and a half of my life and that's including the time a roommate made me watch all of "Freddie Got Fingered" with him.

As someone who has only ever beaten Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! by decision, it felt pretty good to finally TKO him. Need to work on trying to hit the KO, but I'm pretty satisfied for now.

I got a third one so I recorded it this time.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

A lot of people around me making stupid fuckin decisions lately. Not me though. Killing it

despite everything it'sa you

bernie knew what was up

When someone only played NES Ghosts n Goblins so you put them onto the Arcade version

I also did two more quick runs of Ys I for RetroAchievements immediately after beating it (again): one with the minimum viable equipment (first batch, Silver items, Flame Sword, Evil Ring) and then a speedrun which I did in just over an hour in-game time.
