(He/Him) I’m a big fan of video games, video game history, and anime. Currently spending my spare time working on trying to find all of the digital pinball games released for consoles and handhelds. And playing Wacca. I love Wacca.

Is it #RandomGameSaturday or Silver Ball Saturday?
Attack from Mars, 1998, Tiger (yes, THAT Tiger!)
This game deserves way more attention.
It uses actual digitized sound effects, multiple modes, decent controls, a pull back plunger, LCD wiggle Martians, and a solid table layout.
It's great o'clock.

So I just checked our sales - we're at 289 copies sold.

We need 11 more to reach 300, which is our internal threshold to go ahead and start planning Issue #2 - let's do this!

At 45 years old, I've had lots of friends through my life that I've lost touch with, whose memories I treasure and remnants of broken bonds I still hold close to my heart. The nostalgic, reflective, sometimes gentle and sometimes passionate tone in this opening with this arc resonates deeply with me

A screen capture of Sanji from One Piece in the opening sequence from the Hope opening. He's walking forward looking down with his hands in his pocket. A ridiculously large cape is flowing and showing Luffy staring at him angrily. The subtitle shows "Why did you give up on your search?"

From the Crunchyroll translation:

"Why did you give up on your search?
Why do you keep fighting by yourself?
Say, what kind of future did you prepare for?
Have you fulfilled your dream?"

This feels powerful juxtaposed with Sanji's cape showing the weight of the memories from how he left.

Mine favorite is Hope. I love how it opens with the faster chorus and then slows down afterwards with softer tone, like of solemn reflection. With how Sanji parted, I love how the few lines in the middle are like someone talking to the memory of a long, lost friend.

They picked a time period and put in the effort to put in period appropriate sets and it felt like they earnestly tried to make it feel like it really took place at that time.

I think it turned into nostalgia bait when they noticed people talking about the sets more than the story and saw $$$.

I enjoyed the first season, and bounced away for the rest. It didn’t feel like nostalgia bait. You know how you watch a show and a character says “Let’s play Nintendo!” and they grab a PlayStation controller and sit in front of a TV without any cords going into it while 2600 Pac-Man noises play?

Neat finds! Pataank is something else for sure. I was lucky enough to get my copy autographed by Rob Fulop a few years ago. He was super cool and shared some neat stories. He also seemed a little exasperated that, of all the games he worked on, this was what I brought for him autograph. LOL

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

I love the random discussions my wife and I have on car trips. Today’s led to “At some point in our lives, every one of us had a Milhouse for a friend, and also every one of us was someone else’s Milhouse”

A new Frogger added to the collection for #RandomGameSaturday
Frogger, 1983, Gakken VFD.
Though it looks like the Coleco Mini-Arcade from the same year, it is tougher! It added a snake in the 2nd level on, for more frog peril. I prefer the gameplay of the Gakken.
However, the viewing angle sucks.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

fortify inside why spiritual practice matters during the rising authoritarian tide

Please believe me when I tell you:

Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now.

You are going to need it.

And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing.

The thing that sustains and nourishes you.

That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others.

More present.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

I still think they should have remade the Santa Maria as a replica of the pirate ship from The Goonies as a celebration of Christopher Columbus (the movie director).
