It was bundled with a Rocky Horror platformer from the same dev. 😂

I was today years old when I learned that Manos, the platforming video game, exists. Did I buy it? Absolutely.

Just beat Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster. Final boss fight took 45-ish minutes and my shoulder is killing me. I paused about 40 minutes in to look up what the mfer was weak to. Then spent the next few minutes shouting “You mean I could have used this weapon all along?!”

Weirdness like this is why I love jrpgs.

I’m playing Final Fantasy (pixel remaster) for the first time and this game is delightful. It would have blown my Atari 2600 mind back in the day. Right now, it’s a lovely distraction from life nonsense.

Human. Food. Now.

I had never played a Legend Of Heroes game before Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (2025 remake). Me now:

Just finished Season 2 of Peacemaker and John Cena deserves an Emmy. I continue to marvel at just how good he is as an actor and the journey he has taken this character on. Also props to the entire cast and the writers and just everyone involved with this show.

Something about the expeditions searching for a Northwest Passage feel more like follies to me and that adds a dimension of tragedy to the insanity.

In the Kingdom of Ice is great. I also really liked Labyrinth of Ice by Buddy Levy about the Greeley expedition.

I went through a phase of listening to audiobooks about doomed polar expeditions and every single one was just bonkers.

What I want to say to pretty much everyone in Congress trading memes while people are hurting from this shutdown and programs being gutted for the last several months.

Good reporting is verified and doesn’t rely solely on one source.

dear everyone

MOCKING PEOPLE'S APPEARANCE ISN'T HOW YOU BUILD A MORE JUST WORLD

MOCKING ABILITY OR HEALTH MOST *CERTAINTLY* ISN'T

how many times must we cover this

yes this includes "chosen" things like self-tanner FFS it doesn't matter

people's SPEECH & ACTIONS are what matter

GO AFTER THAT

Who exactly are we saving democracy for if we’re willing to throw marginalized groups under the bus to do it? The whole point of democracy and inalienable rights is that they’re for everyone. We cannot save democracy by ignoring the threats to “not us.”

That’s beautiful and makes me miss Washington.

It’s kind of rude for PlayStation to tell me there’s help for a game before I have even sucked at it.

“Don’t you want to rub my belly?”

Two things I wish journalists felt empowered to do:
- Tell the president that it isn’t their job to be nice to him and it’s his job to be accountable to the American people
- Ask people “WTF is wrong with you?” when they spout nonsensical and harmful garbage

Switch 2 preorder watch update: I have received the email confirming that I will receive the email, but they can’t say when.

It is May 8 and I have started Switch 2 Preorder Email Watch. Nothing yet. 😂

Someday the Zoom AI transcript tool is going to become sentient just ask us to all stop talking about the weather at the start of every call.

Just walked out of seeing Casablanca in a movie theater. Can we get La Marseillaise trending as a protest song? youtu.be/HM-E2H1ChJM?...

There were times in my life when I would replay just to get different endings, but these days life is short and my backlog is long.

As a player, there has to be something about the gameplay itself and not just the prospect of a different ending to entice me to replay. Once I have an ending, I can watch the other ones on YouTube and spend minutes instead of hours.
