Triple same. All thoughts come with extra added free complimentary bonus content.

Hard disagree (nice reference btw!)

I marched straight to him my first time there. He was the whole point :3

But did you pay homage to our lord and savior, Balto, while in the park?

“Under the right circumstances a producer could make more money with a flop than with a hit!”

From a long-time programming director: You list your favorite projects if you have long term ones or “freelance creator who works in X medium” is often enough :)

He can be a criminal all he wants. I love him.

Here’s one of mine to pay the cat tax

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

I’ve been doing a pretty massive overhaul of my office/game room and it’s a disaster area right now.

But I’ve made some real progress with new shelves and de-dusting.

You will! You’re a good bean.

Koschei the Deathless but in Soviet Russia to the backdrop of Stalingrad is worth your time folks. Get this.

You can’t get anything for $2 these days, not even plain coffee.

EXCEPT DEATHLESS, GUYS, GO GET IT FOR TWO BUCKS

I also wish this. I can scroll, but it’s really hard to sift a timeline some days

this website is a machine for surfacing extremely rarefied internecine beef from toxic friend groups and you need to be able to recognize when it's happening and avert your gaze

Heard the head of my grad school drama department giving the prospective student tour so I popped into the green room to be an ambassador.

Turned around and her father was standing there and it was Gary Sinise. He was very nice.

Yes. Fuck yes.
I gave it 3.5 stars in a certain N64 Guide Book.

-“the common clay of the New West”

…“You know….morons.”

Those all came up several times in people’s responses so this seems like a good list

The mole people may have been my first episode.
I remember “Disney’s Dominatrix World”

ME TOO!

And “WE LIKE IT VERY MUCH”

I saw an MST3k fan group posting about a person’s friend who finally discovered MST3K and what 5 episodes would people recommend.

I don’t have a catalogue of them in my brain, especially not the new ones, but this was my list, top of head:
Prince of Space
Space Mutiny
Mitchell
Manos
The Mole People

“C-c-cat…cat…the bi-bi-big…g-giant…cat…”

Or ever. Which is why David Prowse never received additional money and why he got banned from Star Wars events
Because he dared to call out the scumminess of Hollywood accounting.

Head canon is that the skull WAS an ancient version of the resurrected beast Ganon and when Calamity Ganon needed to form a body to fight you at the end of BotW, it yanked the skull and any bones up as a basis to build its Malice body around.

Place said that the skull had been worshipped by cultists who believed it to be the Demon King from ancient times.

In TotK the skull is gone and the swamp is the Bottomless Pond you dive into from the sky your first time down.

I realized that in the background you can see Hyrule Castle.

So my

Ok I need to talk about this.
Watching a video from Skittybitty and Zeltik on things from BotW that vanished in TotK and one of them is the skull in the bottomless swamp that monsters made a home in.

Apparently for the Switch 2 edition they added a bunch of Zelda voice logs and the one for this

None of this is what was intended but it’s how the show reads to me in my 40s.

The second is about the costs of those choices, the toll that things can take on you, like erosion.

It’s those same young people, whose spirit has been beaten but not broken, coming to terms with reaching a point where they start losing people irrevocably. Literally or figuratively. Death or rift.

I’ve been thinking about Rent and how for me it has two subtextual throughlines.

The first resonates with younger audiences roughly the same age as the characters. It’s about sticking to principles and making stands. Figuring out how your beliefs intersect with the messy reality.
