Not a fan of Magic the Gathering; it's just not my jam. I respect it, it's just not my thing.

But I saw this and it's infuriating. The policies of the US government are absolutely wrecking so many different things.

What's the actual acoustics of it like, and how do you clean that up? Like, not in a rhetorical sense, what's the best way to really make that audio better?

Man, I have such conflicting feelings for that mag. On the one hand, Bill Donohue, the editor, legit helped me find my comedic voice because he and I would email each other back in the UGP days.

On the other hand, he's gone crazy-go-nuts hard right now, and SO MUCH of retro gaming feels that way.

Hello.

It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released.

Now, I'm looking for your memories.

Let's turn back together.

Face the flower and speak.

They say bad news comes in threes, and this year has been a year of loss.

February, said goodbye to my oldest cat, Stalker.

April, said goodbye to my next oldest cat, Sheldon.

Last night, said goodbye to my next oldest cat, Addie.

My family went from 5 cats to 2 in five months.

My heart hurts.

Mega Man 2 as an 80's Dark Fantasy/Sci-Fi Film
YouTube video by Overseer190 Mega Man 2 as an 80's Dark Fantasy/Sci-Fi Film

It's been bugging me, like, I feel like I have seen these elsewhere, so I did some digging:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oFC...

The pics all came from this video!

(Admittedly, The Megas has apologized and will not be using the AI art any more. Rock on, y'all! <3 )

This is how it's done. Hell yes; a mistake was made, there's no need to decimate anyone or anything of that nature, but it's fine to have accountability of things. Well done, GDQ and Megas <3

GamesDoneQuick - The Megas AI Images??? Watch GamesDoneQuick's clip titled

Only because they flashed the images while they were saying the names of the robots, to be honest. The clip:

Four of the five images from The Megas concert on Games Done Quick that I'm 99.999999% certain are AI.

Disappointed! I don't know if it's The Megas or GDQ who made this choice.

Hey, sorry to be a sort of jerk (well not THAT sorry, and not THAT big of a jerk), but did y'all use AI art as an overlay during songs?

www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequi... for the clip

I don't know if it was Megas asking for it, or GDQ adding it. Either way, big time let down, you're right.

Aaaayup; at first I thought the Wily one was some obscure TV show character, but as soon as the others came up....oof. Good job clipping that, and yeah that's disappointing :(

I fucking LOVE GDQ. Combine them with The Megas? Fuck yes.

...although I think they used AI art for their first song? The second batch of robot names they said, they had "pics" of robots.

Martha was absolutely perfect as the well meaning, tech ignorant Mom, and Jon was perfect as the dad who wants to say something but keeps getting distracted by minutia. It felt so lived in!

Will be sad to see you leave, but nothing but the best for you going forward, man. If you swing by Columbus again, and it's happening, I'd love to get you on another Like My Coffee. Otherwise, hell yeah, good luck <3

Weird Al's Dare To Be Stupid was recorded in early 1985.

Leave It To Beaver went off the air in 1963.

If that song were written today about a TV show that ended the same distance of time, Al would suggest we sit around the house watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
