I really need to play DDS at some point. I finally got around to getting a copy of the second one a wee while back, which was sort of why I put if off for so long.

They sort of fell out of touch with her after that in the pre-internet days where it was harder to maintain friendships across those sorts of distances. But whenever Garbage came on the radio, they'd proudly tell my big brother and I about it.

I don't really remember that well now to be fair! Just very vague images. My parents knew her when she was with Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, before she went to the US to join Garbage.

Just over half a million! I'm not sure it'd even crack the top thirty most populated US cities. And I think it feels significantly smaller in the sort of creative circles my parents moved in when they were younger. Feel like a lot of creatives there get to know each other sooner or later.

Also, that Bruce Lee game looks magical and I need to play it immediately.

It's on my backlog list for this year! I'll definitely play in 2026.

Live service game: tons of shit with maps and guns and battle passes and progression loops to keep you addicted to spending money

My playtime: 15 minutes

Fighting game: two guys in an alley uppercutting each other while saying shit like "METEOR BEEF"

My playtime: half of my lifespan

good news, guys:

04.03.2026 07:32 β€” πŸ‘ 58    πŸ” 5    πŸ’¬ 6    πŸ“Œ 0

there are two types of people in this world: the ghoulies, and those who are grabbed by them

I won't accept blame for doing an objectively good thing.

(I love Revenge of Shinobi, and the soundtrack is a big part of that)

Someday you're going to try to grab only to find no ghoulies to grab and you won't be able to say I didn't warn you.

All I'm saying is that I'm scheduled for bottom surgery soon. I literally won't have goolies in the near future. If you're looking to grab me a second time, you're on a strict deadline.
