At a pre-school costume parade, and said “oh hey, Sonic!” to a kid that was dressed up as him. This 4yo gave me a wild-eyed DEATH STARE like I’d just blown his cover deep in enemy territory. I don’t think it’d ever occurred to him that an adult might know who Sonic is.

MULTIPLAYER!!! Like Greg below, many characters and places in gaming have non-canon nicknames that are widely accepted by the community. What are some of your favorites? Answer by 9:00pm TONIGHT to be featured on The Level! Shoutout to @desireekorruption.bsky.social for the question idea.

I have questions about the anatomy of this vampire Mickey.

New headcanon: someone convinced Trump there’s treasure hidden in the east wing and he’s trying to find it.

Has anyone else freaked out their spouse by absent-mindedly singing the song from the second Hades II boss fight?

Wake up babe, new headcannon just dropped.

Inflict yourself on me senpai!

MULTIPLAYER!!! Most heroes would be lost without their handlers providing them live updates (plot), support (banter), and intel (tutorials). Who are your favorite voice-in-your-ear characters in gaming, and why? Answer by 9pm EST ON Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

Ah, my first sinus infection of fall. I love everything about the season except for how I feel during it.

A cutesy barnyard tableau of chickens apparently bombing foxes with their own eggs

The implications of this fun little tableau are horrifying…

Powdered beef is when two queens in Victorian drag fight.

I can’t stop reading it “Steam Autism Sale”

MULTIPLAYER!!! No one really asked for Lego Horizon Adventures, but the precedent has been set! What games would be most amusing to see in a cute, kid friendly form? Answer by 9pm EST on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

Tweet from BL dev: “We've seen the discourse about builds that use unintended interactions and/ or the knife. We're not going to act on those immediately, instead, we're looking at our first round of buffs. Those will get addressed but we're going to start with underperforming gear/skills first.”

If Randy Pitchford wrote it: “OMG, so many players complaining about the knife being OP (as if they could do better). You know what? We’re gonna start buffing MORE stuff!”

MULTIPLAYER!!! Any game that gets big enough will spawn a string of imitators. That’s not to denigrate them, though! What “spiritual successors” outshone their inspiration, either in part or in whole? Answer by 9pm on Tuesday to be featured on The Level.

A wooded trail with a tv remote on the ground

You can’t make this kind of stuff up: I came across this on a trail in my local park.

I’m literally hiking in a REMOTE location! 😂😂😂

Kimmel’s material on Kirk was as mild as it gets, but he sure was brutal about Trump being in the Epstein files…

@kaye.zone you better act fast before all the good ones get snapped up!

MULTIPLAYER!!! What’s a video game quote that’s stuck with you? It could be meaningful, wise, or just funny. Answer by 9pm EST on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

The world’s longest wooden roller coaster? In this economy?!

I want to feel horror that political violence is becoming normal. Hell, I’d settle for some schadenfreude that a guy who got rich cheering on that kind of violence was taken out by it. But it’s hard to feel anything when it all comes dressed up in clown makeup and floppy red shoes.

My local park’s Space Force flag is at half mast for the assassinated podcaster.

Beyond. Fucking. Parody.

If past is precedent, the motives are weirder and stupider than anyone is imagining.

He would get treated just as harshly as that guy who bragged on tape about grabbing women by the pussy.

Being a stroke survivor qualified me for the Covid shot in Ohio. In case it’s helpful to anyone: I literally just asked if being a stroke survivor qualified me, they said yes, and there was no further inquiry or proof needed to get my shot.

MULTIPLAYER!!! We expect a difficulty spike for bosses, but sometimes a “regular” enemy can ring your bell just as hard. What non-boss enemy is your personal kryptonite, and why? Answer by 9pm EST on Tuesday to be featured on The Level!

The collapse of all this grifting is gonna be so much faster, weirder, and *stupider* than anyone can imagine.

Me on my 5th boss in a row (so far) at the end of Elden Ring

Super excited for new NFTs of bibles wearing golden shoes.
