"birth rates are declining" don't care I already got born

Here's @gilespink.bsky.social talking about his philosophy of game design on this week's episode of Quest Quest: The Adventure Game Podcast. Listen to the full episode here: zencastr.com/z/pkypB_6L

A screenshot you can hear.

Someone else made this point already but the He-Man movie bombing seems like an unusually clear example of movie executives thinking that the generation of parents that currently have kids they go to the movies with is 15 years younger than they actually are.

They think they’ll make us buy this propaganda by using eye candy

Super excited to show my latest VRChat world: a 1:1 recreation of Mario Bros. Plumbing from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show! ⭐️ Not only can you hang out in a Brooklyn basement like a true plumber, but you can also watch every single episode of the show, including Super Show, 3, and World!

My job search aggregator which has thus far led me mostly to third party scams that promise to get you a job at the USPS now mostly wants me to either be a private investigator or move to Hershey PA to be the adult in a frat house which sounds like a terrible sitcom idea.

Gigan and Megalon are an underrated heel tag team.

oh no, somebody spilled all of their puppies.

I would remove In Search Of Lost Time and replace it books 1-5 and 7-65 in the Horus Heresy series.

“My next guest, on the monitor behind me, is an organized crime informant. To protect his identity, we’ve placed him in a darkened studio—so let’s go to him now.”

My home page recommendations for HBO Max are The Sopranos, various Godzilla movies and Once Upon a Time in China so it has me pegged.

ammm going to be staring down a almost 4K bill on my cc card on top of my already accrued debt bc have to pay out of pocket for a pet scan so uh shop sales + shares are appreciated !! michiums.bigcartel.com

For no particular reason I wanted to identify the books sold in a Games Workshop store in 1980. This still comes from a BBC (watch it here: youtu.be/1KoyUwWaLU0?...) But right now I’m interested in the book spinner on the far right of the frame and maybe you can help me? #WarhammerCommunity

This death scene completely makes sense in the fictional world of Laura Bow: The Dagger of Amon Ra.

Maybe my favorite movie? Close? Definitely top 5 and I can watch it basically any time, regardless. Anyway, oh, what a day.

I miss the full page, vaguely threatening Marvel ads.

I ran that Shadowrun adventure. It wasn't my best.

BEN: Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope. LUKE: Yoda spoke of another. BEN: Oh yeah he must’ve meant Ahsoka Tano, a fully trained warrior badass who’s alive just offscreen. She’s got two lightsabers LUKE: That’s badass. BEN: You only have one and you lost it

Haha ow.

A young me as Hans Moleman: "I was saying rock the cash bar."

When I started debating this straw man I didn't expect to fall in love.

45 years ago The Beastie Boys (previously: The Young Aborigines) form with Michael Diamond (later Mike D), John Berry, Kate Schellenbach, and Adam Yauch (later MCA) as a hardcore punk band, May 1981 #punk #punkrock #beastieboys #hardcorepunk #hardcore #history #punkrockhistory

when they tell the stories of what it was like to live in this time, it should just be this video

It's finally happening! A piece of anime history is finally being screened for the first time in North America, after the film had been stuck in legal purgatory for years! This gives me hope that an official U.S. Blu-ray release may come later down the line.

I was not allowed down the stairs.

Vienna, official set dog of MST3K: The RiffTrax Experiments.

Catwoman

Most excellent new commission request! Silk, Batgirl, Robin: three Asian-American superheroines fighting the fascist forces of ICE. I drew this in the spirit & visual echo of Captain America punching out Hxtler in early 1941.

The Cortex Prime Game Handbook is live on DriveThruRPG for the first time! 256 pages of the most flexible RPG toolkit I could make—build any genre, any tone, any kind of story you want to tell. I'm so proud of this book. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

I think I messed up with my choice of colors, but this will do.

It does feel like these days, maybe, you'll get Stephen Root in a role as a treat but mostly it's nobody else who looks normal. In fact I remember a voice actor who was trying out for just extra roles was TOLD he looked too average.

Refreshing to have someone just say it without all the hemming and hawing

I knew Grogu when his name was still Groguell Macintosh. He was the quiet kid in our theatre class until he got up and did the final monologue from Eric Bogosian’s Talk Radio and blew us all away. He was the real deal. An actor’s actor. But nothing corrodes integrity like money.

Our car is going to cost close to £500 to repair, a month before we get married, so I'm once again asking people to buy some games. For once I'm not putting them on sale because I'm tired, frankly loottheroom.itch.io

Spotted on Tumblr…

33 years ago today, Krusty the Clown was forced to replace Itchy & Scratchy with Worker & Parasite. “Krusty Gets Kancelled” first aired on May 13, 1993.

Welp, a new "the worst thing that could happen" has happened for me: My medical debt from 2018-2022 has hit a point where the creditor is no longer allowing "min payments" & I have til June 6th to pay it IN FULL... "or else." If you can help, I'd appreciate it. www.gofundme.com/f/help-kdin-...

Started watching the anime City Hunter, which I've been meaning to get to for a while, and god they don't make anime openings like they used to

"One Last Call From Harrowden"

Another successful writing day. Enough successful writing days will eventually produce a new piece of interactive fiction, like my timewarp dinosaur jaunt SILVERWORLD! You can play the first four chapters for free!

One of the funniest moments in gaming is the unseen cavalcade of nonsense Guybrush encounters behind the wall.

I miss the days of weird little desktop software toys, so I made this video about The Simpsons Screen Saver collection from 1994. My favorite is "Homer Eats," where Homer walks around your desktop eating icons. Watch here: youtu.be/yhq2Bym5kTY (If you enjoy it, a like or a share goes a long way!)
