Just now realizing the tooth fairy was invented to prevent kids from all having weird, creepy collections of their teeth. Seems like almost all cultures have some way of getting rid of those teeth!

Wish I cared about anything as much as my phone cares about my missing airpods.

Every morning on the way to school we stop to watch this mechanical dinosaur eat some more of this building.

My Blue Prince obsession continues unabated.

Yes!

As Blue Prince keeps zooming out and fractally revealing more layers of metapuzzles, the more impressed I am by how the roguelike structure acts as a drip feed to prevent overwhelm. You have a million dangling threads; the RNG both focuses you on a plausible daily subset and doles out new leads.

Rolled credits on Blue Prince. Day 28. Just getting started.

I think it’s closer to Balatro or even Inscryption where at fuse it just feels like your runs are ending quickly and you’re not getting anywhere but then you start to learn some tricks, get some unlocks, and you start having great runs.

RNG should be added to the list of phrases struck from the record when talking about games.

My experience has been that each run has presented at least one new discovery. Each time I start again I get that feeling of excitement.

Not every game is for everyone of course but with Blue Prince if you can approach it with less a feeling of needing to get something done and more just about discovery, you might find it opens up. Eventually the roguelike nature kind of falls away.

Yes! I keep having those “whoa, wait a minute” moments.

Totally agree. Similar in some ways to Elden Ring, where if you were stuck on an enemy, you could just go elsewhere.

8 hours in and Blue Prince is occupying my every waking moment, it’s all I can think about. I’m sure I’ll dream about it tonight too.

Whenever reality show contestants walk into the shity condo they have to stay in: “wow, this place is amazing.”

I feel like every colour should have its own special day.

A roguelike game where, at the end of each run, you get points based on the number of people who show up at your funeral.

Willem Dafoe in far away so close and spider-man is pretty close.

Now that @obsidian.net has got some heat going, time to get Alpha Protocol 2 in the works!

My daughter wanted me to draw the Mario characters. From memory, no reference, and I got it exactly right.

Lined up at Sam the Record Man to buy it. I was in grade 6.

Just once it would be nice if someone asked ‘how’s Waldo?’

Thankfully he left us such an amazing body of work that just reveals more with each rewatch.

This David Lynch news really hitting hard. I don’t know if there’s another filmmaker who feels as singular and just knowing we’ll never get another one is tough.

Was reading Narnia to my 5 year old last night and when it got to the friendly talking beaver she said, “if I met a talking beaver, I’d kill it.”

“Don’t Dream It’s Over” but every “hey now” is replaced with a Hank Kingsley drop. Can someone make this happen?

Should old acquaintance be forgot? The answer may surprise you.

Sonic 2 feels way longer than the brutalist.

Despicable Me 4 makes Despicable Me 2 look like Despicable Me 1.
