A pop punk band from the next town over got hyper-locally famous for their song "Junji Ito Pinball Machine" back in high school, but I can't find the mp3s anywhere on my backups. Gonna have to look in my old bedroom closet for my old PC tower next time I'm at my parents.

any insight on this? I understand one of the rare Junji Ito pinball machines may have existed in the Chicago area circa 2000-2010.. is it possible one of your writers played it/remembers where it was set up?

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I've been spending too much time today trying to track down any info I can of this Junji Ito pinball machine - through stuff like the VGHF digital library and such - and didn't find anything until I checked a midwest zine library. Can't find anything on this machine either, but it's so close.

Great stuff from MeatCastle about the current landscape of TTRPG critique, especially the part about being able to speak to our own preferences as players and writers.

I am, unsurprising to anyone who knows me well, very excited for this. MST3K (in all its various forms) is an all-timer for more. Excited to see these (and great to see Minnesota creators and a Minnesota productio making some bank right now)!

Finished Strange Horticulture (after owning it for years and never playing it). I really enjoyed it! A very calm little puzzle/mystery game of parsing documents and artifacts and identifying plants with some cool story implications as it goes along. Pretty short too (that's a plus, for me)!

The dweeb guy in this replying to someone asking him "how does that boot taste?" in his non-apology resignation statement with "it tastes like freedom" is a tremendous moment in loser history.
