The spiderman dinosaur cancer meme, but the dialog is rewritten: Spiderman - Why hook this all up? You have a Raspberry Pi 5! Dinosaur - But I don't want to use the Pi 5. I want a retro gaming hub.

Hello Trick or Treat Kids and Smilin' Sams, we're announcing the 2025 Starmen.net Carving Contest!

Pick up a pumpkin (or festive gourd of your choice) and show us your carving skills!

Details at: forum.starmen.net/forum/Fan/Fo...

Send them to us by **NOVEMBER 4th** at 11:59 PM EST to be featured!

The one-two punch of COVID and AI will be studied decades from now by psychologists and neuroscientists. People have descended into depths of psychosis that I can’t really fathom. Permanently damaging humankind.

Play EarthBound with your kids, learn important life lessons.

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

Big Bubs

Meanwhile, it was one of the only times I've ever been excited about football. I do not follow the sport at all, but have a couple of teams I will get excited about specifically because of feeding off of the excitement of friends.

field goal, lol

We should do a Funktastic Gameplay Fall, then it gives us an excuse to play.

I remember being very surprised by the Carrot Key/Dungeon Man thing.

The first time I marathoned EarthBound, someone asked me why it was scheduled for a full day instead of like 12 hours. I didn't know how to articulate at the time that I still wanted to have fun with EB for what it is, not just make the credits roll and call it good.

I'm STILL finding new dialogue.

A screenshot of the meteorite impact site from EarthBound. This screenshot is taken during the day, so you can see the cloud floating nearby instead of the starry night sky. The cloud is a simple oval shape.

A screenshot of Happy Happy Village from EarthBound. In this screenshot, you can see shadows on the ground that are simple ovals, similar to the clouds in Onett during the day.

The clouds in Onett cast shadows into Happy Happy Village.

Lammy Blows It

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on.

They've outlived dozens of ships.

If you have been raptured, REMAIN IN LINE

been raptured for 90 mins now. lines are insane. VERY disorganized. scalpers by east entrance

Ya crushed it!

Statue of Liberty: hacked
Butthole: whacked

Is there a Pokémon that isn't SOMEONE'S favorite?

"Surely Cryogonal isn't someone's favorite." you might say, BUT NO, I found a post from someone who listed him as a "used to be favorite".

Probopass? Someone's favorite.

Bruxish? Someone's wife's favorite.

I found this one in Seattle back in 2024. Same one, or is it maybe part of a series?

A platforming segment in EarthBound, the 1997 Playstation extraction shooter.

Before the night ends though, I'd like to once again wish Undertale a Happy 35th Anniversary. Never released outside of Japan, this Nintendo DS visual novel touched the hearts of fans everywhere.

Maaaaan, one of the comics in this Bill and Ted series gave me wild nightmares as a little kid. I should dig it up so I can laugh at it now.

I've been wondering about Pg 1 for a bit and have been meaning to ask... what is the intent of Panel 4? I'm imagining something like Pepper flashing back to previous incidents?

She came up to us at Merch and proudly declared "Hello, I'm here to report the items we have stolen!", and y'all are doing an excellent job in the Horkrims household.

They got Goku now!

There are ~368 days until PAX.

A banner found at PAX West 2025. It reads as follows: "On what to do with the time that is given to us. Our greatest strength is each other. Find your people in your local community. Stick up for everyone. Use the power you have to make the difference. You can. Learn to say no. Talk to people IRL about the things that matter to you. It's okay to be late as long as you show up. Whatever the "right" choice is, making one is always better than doing nothing."

It's a feature, tbh. "Vamp about Star Trek for thirty minutes, OH GOD HIS MOUTH" is a winning formula.

Watching infomercials with @krisstraub.com and @regretagarbo.rip continues to be one of the best panels at any given PAX.
