Finished “River City Girls” tonight. Apparently it’s very possible to play and beat it solo, as long as you just grind a couple screens and do the side missions. I even beat the final boss first try.

“A stand that folds flat for travel can be used to prop up and turn tablets and smartphones into makeshift monitors, while the hub connects to those devices using a short built-in USB-C cable that can be stored underneath it.” Weird thing to put in the middle of an article @theverge.com

I've never played Hades, but I am playing River City Girls solo, basically fighting waves of enemies until I get a level up or enough to go buy more moves and items, and that's pretty similar to what I've heard people say Hades is like. So I consider it a stealth rouge-like now.

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone! The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

Watching the “Back to the Future” reboot where Marty time travels back 30 years to 1996; “Look pal, if I gave you zero Coke it’d just be an empty glass.” (“Hell” by Squirrel Nut Zippers plays in the background)

61 years ago today, a group of 600 peaceful protestors began a 54-mile march from Selma to the steps of the Alabama state capitol in Montgomery— in response to the police murder of 26-year-old Army veteran Jimmie Lee Jackson during an attempted march in Marion, AL two weeks prior.

“Mean tweets and cheap gas.”

If @teamfourstar.bsky.social ever figures out how to do MCU Abridged, Disney would probably pay them to do it.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

FUCK THE HENNEPIN CPUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE

video from iceout.org earlier today at the whipple outside minneapolis shows a hennepin county sheriff’s deputy shoving the head of a protestor who was already tackled into the ground we need someone to challenge dawanna witt for sheriff. this brutality happening under her watch is unacceptable

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most sensitive pressure points in the global economy. Conflict in Iran could put it at risk indefinitely. www.wired.com/story/what-h...

I made a post on a local Facebook group asking people to still use their turn signals in a recently built roundabout. More people than I'd like said "but then wouldn't your blinker be on the whole time?" I was saying "signal when you exit," they thought I meant "keep it on as you go in a circle."

Prince never would’ve approved this when he was alive, but it’s so perfect with it. youtu.be/ii_IlBbY0QI?...

Honestly I’m just glad he didn’t say “execute Order 47” during the SOTU because you know he’d name it after himself.

ICE is detaining a man from Madison, SD of all places. He’s a legal immigrant for over 40 years, homeowner and a farmer, but they decided to grab a guy while grocery shopping. Sharing this to raise awareness, his family has set up a GoFundMe for the legal fight. www.facebook.com/100000595545...

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

I’ve said we need to be reaching out to our right-wing friends and family, repairing the divides. That does not extend to politicians, influencers, etc, who get power and money from pushing “us versus them.” So I called Mike Rounds’ office and called him a bald Nazi until his staffer hung up on me.

My New Year’s Resolution is to give every game on my backlog a good faith attempt at finishing it. I managed to knock out Mario Kart 7 and Sonic Advance in the same day, so I’m feeling a little proud of myself.

I don’t see the point, Chrono Trigger is already perfect. I don’t know that you could add or change much to improve it.

@mn50501.bsky.social A simple majority of 50 votes will allow mining in the Boundary Waters (BWCA). Tell your friends in other states today: call Senators to vote NO on H.J. Res 140. 5calls.org/issue/bounda...

Crazy ICE experiences yesterday! Four ICE vehicles boxed me in outside my own house after following me home and trying to have me arrested. Watch the video for details!

Ok blueanaon listen to me. This isn’t a distraction. This is a purposeful illegal attack on a sovereign nation. He doesn’t need to distract anyone from the Epstein Files. No one that matters to him cares.

ICE is still endangering people in the Twin Cities: "Multiple agents in both cars ... When they ID patrollers, we honked and whistled them away. Then they drove off in separate directions and made several illegal driving moves to evade commuters from following them."

Until February 22, Indivisible 605 and Remedy Brewing are asking for people in the community to donate underwear and socks. Story >> https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2026/02/17/indivisible-605-remedy-brewing-asking-undergarment-donations/ 

Using a gif, who's your favorite female game character? (I even corrected the alt text)

LEX: “Unhand me you deranged drooling monster! Do you know who I am!?” VENOM: “WE WILL EAT YOUR BUTT.”

I fired up Metal Gear Solid 3, and I've realized I no longer have the patience to have Snake crawl through grass, pop up and look around, repeat. Snake now runs up to guards and ganks them as fast as possible.

Hi friends, there is a south Mpls neighbor in need of funds for their asylum case. They received a court summons today & need an attorney to help. @danielsuitor.com has given some pro bono resources but we think they will need paid representation. Please see images for details & how to help.

Why do I even have a PS3 at this point? At this rate they’re gonna remake inFamous and I can just toss the thing.

Took the plunge and now I don’t have to play Game Boy specifically in the room where the sun comes through the window really bright

We do updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! www.youtube.com/live/uDNeewC...

Instead of the “Superb owl,” call it the “football season finale.” That way you’re set up for disappointment.

“Because the iPhone was in Lockdown mode, CART could not extract that device,” the court record reads, referring to the FBI’s Computer Analysis Response Team.

JRPGs tend to confuse “plot” with “a series of events,” which are not the same. A lot of stuff happens in your average Final Fantasy that are just massive purple patches.

I don’t understand this app, man. I’ll post something here and none of my mutuals will like or comment, but I post the same thing on Threads and 15 strangers go “haha astute ‘Invader Zim’ observations sir.”

“And if you don’t like that then call the cops/‘cause chances are they’re us.” HOLY SHIT JOHN DENVER youtu.be/J3TcUA5jE6o?...

NEW: The FBI has been unable to access a Washington Post reporter’s seized iPhone because it was in Lockdown Mode, a sometimes overlooked feature that makes iPhones broadly more secure, according to recently filed court records.

There’s a rumor that Netflix is being taken off of the PS3 after all these years because it’s possible record from it onto a VHS tape, and now I kinda want to break my PS3 out and make a VHS version of “Stranger Things.”

Out today (tomorrow in comics shops): an economically-priced single-volume MARCH omnibus. While there’s nothing new in here content-wise (that’s something we’ll be tackling in the future), it’s a great option for schools, libraries, book clubs & the bookshelf. Softcover and hardcover!

Does Handheld Legend have socials anywhere? I put in an order close to a week ago and haven't even gotten a "sorry we're pretty busy" email, much less shipping.

I have finished Wario Land 4 for the first time! What an excellent game. Now for my little ritual where I use a broken DS and an R4 cart to extract the ROM and my SAV file, then save them away like Dexter and his blood slides.

I have a vague idea about a Shazam (technically public domain) story where Billy Batson is a female who turns into the big, strapping male Shazam we know and love, as a positive representation for transgenderism, but I’d rather some actual LGBTQ+ comic creators steal this idea.

On the one hand, my state’s requirement that websites with “adult content” should verify user’s ages is draconian and insecure, and I refuse to do it. On the other hand, since I won’t give BlueSky my driver’s license, I can use the Video feed without seeing one half naked bear after another.

This writer isn't necessarily left-wing, but what he's saying matches up with what I've read and heard from @cultexpert.freedomofmind.com, Hassan Piker, etc. We need to get better organized, but we also need to stop with the purity tests and cutting people off, because MAGA takes everybody.

Did we all hold our Game Boys like a foot away from our face as kids? I have the creeping hand of needing to get bifocals on my shoulder, and I'm so used to holding my phone's bright, sharp screen on my lap that taking my glasses off and holding my GBA closer to see Wario feels odd.
