There's too many fucking people in the Epstein files. Need Yakko Warner to sing a song about it to help me get caught up

Every year another Doom birthday rolls by and reminds me of the same thing:

I never actually launched the project I started five years ago with @textfiles.com

Today, I finally fix that.

Utterly bizarre that I'm watching GDT's Frankenstein and was trying to remember the name of "that polar bear thing from the Terror" after the opening, then opened Bluesky and immediately saw this. (Also, amazing work.)

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

As it's now spooky season, a reminder that I have a book all about spooky games coming out next year.

Every Alien game in detail, with two dozen new interviews conducted to complement the research (and (re)playing).

Aye, it makes sense from a story standpoint, just not in any obvious way at the time. Have you found the character who sells flea location markers yet?

Is the end-of-race music in F-Zero GX heavily indebted to Boom Boom Satellites or actually produced by them?
