Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!

Will never understand how the world richest man starving kids to death on purpose isn’t a bigger story.

Did this a few days ago, but finally beat stage 10 and scored over 80K on PacLand, which has been a goal for a game I come back to for an hour or so every few months. Got 98900 IIRC, so now on to breaking 100K. I love that freaking game!

It is the one major unforgivable thing to me, making Mario Bros 35 a short time event. My 11 year old still complains about how much he misses that game which was his favorite. I miss it, it was the perfect lunch time game and so much fun. Bring it or an updated version back damn you!!

I freaking love this game! You can play it on NSO if you have it (I think it is on Gameboy but it might be the Japanese store version of GB, can’t remember). But my favorite iteration of it is Hello Kitty World for the Famicom. It has Joust/Balloon Fight mechanics, a must try if you like those!

i dunno I think sometimes people just enjoy talking to like minded people. do you do this kind of shit with your friends offline

Excellent post on the Bluesky index: WHY IN THE FUCK IS THE GUY FROM CLEVELAND IN CLEVELAND?!

SCOTUS is illegitimate and setting fire to our democracy. Sorry, I know it isn’t a fun topic and I’d rather talk about those, but it’s what is happening and it’s kind of a crisis.

The U.S. Supreme Court is conducting a coup d'etat. It is at war with the very premise of an electoral democracy. Nothing about that institution or its work is legitimate. Nothing.

Another game I keep going back to I owe to my five year old who wanted me to play any and all old hello kitty games I could find. And then Hello Kitty World on Famicom was actually really good, game play in the style of Joust or Balloon Fight but it’s a side scroller.

You're in a chess tournament against last year's champion. He jumps a pawn clear across the board to take your rook. "That's not how chess works!" you say to the judge. That's when you learn the tournament's judges get appointed by the previous year's champion. (What reading the news feels like)

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

I joined Bluesky to talk about games and have completely failed. Anyway, in the last month I randomly played Food Fight, the early 80s arcade game, and its a freaking blast, a great 10 minute game. The Atari 7800 port is also great with difficulty sliders if you a more casual play too.

I think blue states should redesign maps to fully dilute all rural areas now with the power of their city population after this mornings murder of the Voting Rights Act.

I hate being a tech worker now. Every fucking industry discussion is AI and people taking the stupid claims of tech CEOs seriously even when they are absurd on their face.

This shit is outrageous: Abolish ICE.

Today is officially the 30th anniversary of Steamed Hams. On April 14, 1996, "22 Short Films About Springfield" aired for the first time!

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

We don't need to speed up production. We need to slow down. We don't need to write code faster. We need to think through what we write. We've spent decades working to ship faster, and that's landed us in a world of hurt. Build better products, not faster.

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

Enjoying the hell out of the start to March Madness, that TCU and Ohio State game really came down to the wire….one of the best days of the year to take vacation 😂

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Who else is playing Legend of Zelda this week to commemorate the fact that it turns 40 tomorrow?! Its still an amazing and fun game, one of those that people will still be playing decades from now.

Princess Toadstool has had a lot of iterations over the decades, but I think the most out of place seeming one released on a game for an official Nintendo console has to be the one from the Super Mario Sweater sewing instructional software on Famicom Disk System:

So today I was very excited to find out that I can get PC-88 versions of Ys on Switch 2 and if I want, something I’ve interested in doing either on on PC-88 or Turbografx 16 CD. I also have been messing around on Famicom Mahjong here and there—very smart to spend $600 to play 40 year old games 😂

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Back to back snow playoff games has been a great argument against all the stadiums becoming domes. Give us some seasonal and regional variety in our football.

Stroud ain’t the one.

I pray to you Matt Prater!

It’s only 11 points with plenty of time left, but feels like the game is 100% over. Amazing.

Started up Dragon Warrior III this week on NES. Decided I’m going to play alot of classic RPGs I’ve never played this year.
