“You are familiar with ‘Star Fox 64?’”

Honestly I'm gonna buy this because this is apparently a do-or-die for these devs, and I want to support indie gaming. Even though I don't care for Shovel Knight. Too hard.

Getting let go at a remote company is wild. Someone screwed up and they revoked all my access before I could actually join the Zoom call where a bunch of us got fired. HR had to reach out to me specifically hours later because I was emailing people trying to get back into my computer.

That’s what I like about BlueSky, you can post anything you want and nobody cares.

It's time once again for Bluesky's favorite game, Try Not To Have A Visit From the FBI Tomorrow!

Happy Miss Congeniality Day to all who celebrate!

Rereleases of classic JRPGs are weird. “We gave you the ability to instant skip or win every fight, probably 60% of the game at least, so you can focus on the story, which is the most convoluted series of events a bunch of salarymen who never took a writing class could come up with.”

I can’t believe how hard we have to work to convince people to not vote for this guy or his party.

Did one of those grid things if anyone want to tell me what a heretic I am

A thought for Superman Day. #SupermanDay #inspiration #fypシ

If I ever became a streamer, it would basically be an English lit class but with video games. We’d be playing “God of War” and talking about the concept of “Center of Good” and how you can root for characters that have a “rip people in half” button.

We gotta kick Palmer Luckey outta retro gaming I’m sick of seeing him throwing his loser ass government contract money around in my hobby

I was looking up what the best way to play the original “Crazy Taxi” is these days, and apparently Richard Donner, director of “Superman The Movie” and “The Goonies” loved the game and almost directed a movie adaptation!? web.archive.org/web/20070930...

What the fuck is an extraction shooter

Men, if it doesn’t have sleeves it’s not a shirt. Workout shirts are the only exception. Keep your armpit hair holstered.

At least half a decade ago, I started adding every PC game that game up in free giveaways to my various accounts. I didn’t actually have a device that could play them until I got a Steam Deck this year. I had to make a list of the 70+ games I got because I was wishlisting titles I already own.

I’m running on maybe four hours of sleep, Metroid fan cast: Samus: Issa Rae ADAM: Taika Waititi Raven Beak: Ron Perlman Anthony Riggs: Sam Richardson Ridley: Fred Tatasciore Metroids: Mike Patton

Was anyone referred to, during the entire run of “Riverdale,” as a punk rock prom queen?

Nobody does grungy rolling bass lines anymore. Because of woke.

We're asking you to keep the No Kings energy going with house meetings of your local community — friends, neighbors, and folks newly activated. There's a lot to do between now and the midterms, and it's vital that we grow the portion of the population engaged in sustained action against the regime.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

#NoKings in Sioux Falls SD, early estimates are 3,000+ people across at least three blocks, right in John Thune’s backyard. We’re pissed in the red states too.

Reminder to check your public library to borrow stuff for free like video games, books/ebooks, movies (including digital/streaming), and possibly even free museum passes and other goodies

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

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.
