I did this in the Super Tea Room in 2024! It was not worth it!

A grid of tea darkness. A1 is basically just milk.

Tragedy: I poured too much milk into my tea and effectively made a cup of hot, smoky milk

Any support in helping my game gain visibility and find an audience would be deeply appreciated!

You: wants sleek, modern UIs

Me: Wants a big honkin' dragon sitting on the menu for no particular reason.

We're doing something very cool this week that hardcore game history nerds will love (and everyone else will be mildly interested in but hopefully you like it too)

I don't want to spoil anything but I am still thinking about a specific 5-minute section of the movie that happens about midway through

Jesus christ. The quote about how a show like Pee-Wee's Playhouse "can be developed by thorough knowledge of the target audience" has parallels to the current wave of "AI will replace artists" boosterism

Looks like we were only missing one (the SOTE strategy guide, which I didn't even know was an EGM-branded magazine). Just ordered it for the library!

Hi! We actually just talked about this on the latest episode of our podcast (around 1:11:45 gamehistory.org/episode-136-...). The short version: We're working on a larger project about Sega Channel that's taking some time to prepare, so thanks for your patience!

Was it Vasyl? He's invited me to check out their archives and I need to take him up on that

They’re saying that even in Philadelphia, a city known for signage indicating businesses that aren’t sketchy, never before has signage been less sketchy, and they’re saying it powerfully.

I went to a showing of Labyrinth. The theater was me, my friend Joe, and about a dozen college girls who SHRIEKED every time David Bowie was on-screen. The ultimate way to watch that movie

It's great if you're in it for the vibes. MAGWest is a smaller event (~2k people) but if "hanging out by the pool while a jazz band plays Sonic music" sounds like a good time, it delivers in spades

Wait is this a known person involved with multiple restaurant dramas? I was only familiar with the pastrami place because of the sign in the window
