The Dorks’ Delight

👏👏

So if coal once powered a lot of industry, and Santa brings coal to the naughty...

Couldn't some baron exploit this loophole for free fuel?

Time to browse those yearly "Gifts to get the gamer in your life" listicles for the holidays

There's always some out of pocket picks

Hey, got that player sprite ready yet?
Yep, pantless elf with slutty thigh-high boots, just like you wanted boss

I'm just going to trust you and not google it because you totally never do sarcastic bits about classic games or anything like that...

Not the Oat Milk Gamer

Wow that actually freakin rules, I'm glad that it's true

So that means Ridley probably has a Doug Funny closet full of lab coats, flying-reptile sized

@tlfoster.bsky.social thanks man, you did this

"But why didn't you just google this"

It's so ridiculous that I rather talk about it with you fine folk instead

Im asking the original question to set this main question up:

If the flying reptile is a professor, does it have a big white dragon shaped lab coat?

I need to know

Ok this is a serious question about Metroid lore.

Is Ridley really also a professor? Or is someone just chatting shit? I heard on a podcast just now for the first time.

I mained Samus in smash in the past, but I kinda don't know too much about the universe and lore

It was some form of "dude the dialogue!"

None of those knuckleheads had an original thought.

I don't even mind Tarantino I just hate the worshippers.

I think Tarantino has good stuff but seeing pushback on him makes me so happy.

My favorite thing to do when I was a freshman in college was to ask the freshman film bros what their favorite Tarantino movie was.

8/10 times it was Pulp Fiction. Every time I'd ask any of them why, and without fail

I wish they weren't allowed to sometimes throw "death" in their side effects in a rapid-paced way right before the commercials.

Like maybe we should be a little more blatant and hit people over the head with that one.

"Hey so you have arthritis, take this pill twice a day, call us if you die"

A photo of my right Joy con 2 inside a plastic mouse-shaped enclosure

I printed this joy-con mouse shell and it makes using the joy-con as a mouse much more comfortable. I’m surprised something like this wasn’t packed in or at least available to purchase.

When Smash Melee was current, me and my childhood friends would gather at the kid who had it firsts house

We all erupted in laughter when he pulled the Rick trophy for the first time. A hamster with a human name? Peak comedy to us at the time. We never played dreamland 2 so we didn't know him yet.

Opportunity to show off my Rick plush
bsky.app/profile/alex...

What's best about Rick is his name. He has many great qualities, but his name is the best.

If you gave me, and almost anyone else 100 guesses to blindly name the character, "Rick" would never be a guess.

I have not thought about Rick nor seen him mentioned since about 2006. In Super Smash Bros Melee, Rick was that one trophy that seemed to pop out right when you thought you were about to score a rare one.

I feel like he was the garbage filler of trophies, poor guy.

And by "played" I mean:

Picked up the controller for about forty seconds because my brother got frustrated with vampire killer feeling funny compared to NES castlevania.

I will say, it did look very nice in person on proper hardware. Better than NES, for sure.

Oh cool I did not see those.

I'm going to hang out on your page for a minute and check that out. Yeah that would be cool if you did, iirc you have some quality retro gaming threads.

I've only ever played anything from the MSX once, actually just recently at a convention.

I'm not too familiar with MSX games but just looking at the details of the computer and there's HUGE hidden gem potential.

Given that fact that it was region exclusive, tied to one language, and had ~1500 official games...yeah you're going to have some fun.

Are you browsing now? Post screens!

This is all to say that the movie really isn't as bad as most make it out to be

Id never give it an award, but it's got value.

slight tangent but I don't know where else I'll be able to say this:

A podcaster I listen to has made a point that the first Mario movie would probably would be a beloved underground hidden gem work of sci fi if the movie was stripped of anything Mario.

It could work, and I agree with him

Oh yeah I've watched at least a few video essays on the making of the movie. I don't know what I was more shocked to find out about:

the fact that Bob Haskins is not American

Or

They were fuckin hammered for a lot of the filming.

Now I'm imagining a video game where Mario is drunk as hell

"Listen Spot, I know things have been rough late-"

"Ruff? Oh really Ryan? I catch you digging through my belongings and you have the NERVE to hit me with DOG PUNS? Maybe you're the reason WHY I drink!"

then Ryan realizes that he's so fucking drunk that he imagined his dog was a talking alcoholic

Before I realized what was in that guys hands I went through the following guesses:

1) big candle
2) cartoon salami
3) loaf of bread

Not once did I think it was a poo sack

The song was so popular that it event went platinum.

Yeah that's not really AS impressive as it once was, but hey! That's a lot of streams.

Oh yeah it's actually a scene in the movie, not just on the soundtrack.

As far as I know, it's an original song but I really want it to be based on a song called bitches.

Also:

They're going to try so hard to recreate the success and virality of Peaches, but that won't work because you can't force that.

It's going to come across forced and the kids will know, kids are receptive to that vibe.

I bet it will still be as fun movie that's on par with the first one.
