That's among the many things I don't miss about convenience. People would throw full cups of liquids away all the time, even some of my coworkers that should have known better sometimes.

One time someone threw away a couple dozen mostly full bottles of Gatorade from their car. That was heavy.

The cover to the 200 album "Stomping Ground" by ska-punk band Goldfinger. It depicts a photo of the band as kaiju attacking an illustrated city and populace.

Every once in a while I remember a customer at a past job that wanted to return a CD. She had bought one by the band Goldfinger thinking it was the soundtrack to the James Bond movie. Meanwhile the cover looks like this:

When you fuse a Machoke with a Jolteon.

90s Lackadaisy AU where Zib and the band are a ska band. Is this anything?

Up until the end of last year I was still running a computer with Win7. When I had to buy a new one I specifically looked for one with Win10 because what I've seen of Win11 at work hasn't exactly wowed me.

Fortunately I don't have direct internet on it so it hasn't been bugging me to "upgrade."

I forgot that the children meter is technically a timer. Something funny about letting so many of them die that it underflows and suddenly almost a thousand kids appear.

Photo of Afro Man, a Mega Man 3 hack. This is the selection intro for Snake Man's replacement, Picky from Fighting Vipers.

Photo of Madd City War X, a River City Ransom hack. It depicts one of the player characters pondering a large throwable anarchy symbol while standing above a door labeled PISS.

A photo of San Mierde: Homeroom Homicide, a much later iteration of the previous River City Ransom hack. The player character, who is technically the same one from the last photo but looks much different, ponders a "sawblade earth" design that I made up as a logo for a band I tried to start.

Photo of Pokécide, a Super Mario Bros 2 hack. A fictionalized version of my teenaged self stands atop the original game's first level, but with a winter night palette.

Here's something a little different for #ScanlineSunday. A collection of NES ROM hacks I made in my teens, running on an EverDrive 64.

I have other later hacks I might share in future but these are ones that are publicly available so thought I would start here.

mega man out of his armor running as the sun sets

y'know most mega man artwork with him with his helmet off portrays rock as having a messy, spiky look to his hair, but mega man 1 credits shows that his early days he was fucking around with brylcreem. hair as stiff and tough as his metal joints

A small part of me thinks it's kind of a shame he turned out to be Like That just because that first album had some bangers back in the day. I'm also not mourning him, though.

At least your fictional self has taste in men?

Reupload: Soder cats

Cloud: Good Lord, what is happening in there?!
Sephiroth: Aurora Borealis?

I think the only way he could be any more WWE coded is if he was like 6'6".

Steel Battalion on original Xbox.

#RandomGameSaturday Just spotted this at a retro media retailer. Game only, unfortunately.

Huh. Apparently the former singer for Lostprophets got stabbed to death in prison.

Anyway.

Make a movie better by adding John Carpenter's to the title:

John Carpenter's To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar

Mega Man and his flowing hair

MEGA MAN 2
CAPCOM 1988
NES

I'm still not used to them running on Saturdays but now they're doing one in the morning at that?

Shenmue II on Xbox.

For #RandomGameSaturday I have my latest pickup, Shenmue II. I haven't played it yet beyond making sure it works but I hear it's supposed to be neat.

91.

I know cabernet is pronounced "kah ber nay" but looking at it as a word, it sounds like a Scottish website. Caber Net.

Randomly remembered an old Tumblr post of mine that might be funny to bring back.

They should invent an October that isn't hot during the day.

This is just an idle thought but it would be kinda funny if someone joined just long enough to get that signing bonus and then never actually showed up. Might be hard to make a clean getaway, though.

No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom had its 30th anniversary today, in case you were wondering where we are on the passage of time.

Image of John Madden’s face in an inscrutable smile-like expression with pixellated text “MADDENING” underneath.

came up with a new meme let me know what you think

I see it used to great effect online sometimes, like when someone was explaining the difference between a straight guy and a Straight Guy™ .
