I made that joke to my mom once 15 years ago. She now makes it back to me every single time she brings up anything sports related. I'm so tired boss.

Took a selfie last night, and I'm actually pretty happy with it. I think I look pretty okay here.

Oh dude there's so fucking many. I know of 4 on the FC alone, and I've played a couple of the SFC ones (briefly, I think they're kinda overrated). I'm not surprised there's a ton on the GB as well.

I guess I just have a low tolerance for contrivances. 'because the plot has to happen' has always been a weak justification to me no matter the genre. I think it's lazy.

"I don't think there's anything noble about moralizing your choice in game difficulty."

*Raucous applause*

"...Which includes moralizing or bragging about playing on easy mode."

*Applause quickly turns to boos and jeers.*

I'm sure Sajam is a genuinely good guy, he clearly has a moral backbone. Unfortunately I also find him smug and insufferable so I'll cheer him on from the sidelines lol

Jesus CHRIST thank you for the context I genuinely had no idea. I liked his youtube stuff, I guess not anymore. I'm also heartbroken to see Spooky in there as well, I used to watch him in ye olden days. Sad stuff there.

I do not know how to edit. I don't even know how to begin learning. I cannot name a single piece of editing software. Can I have a job?

You know I have no idea what this means but dang it I want this FOR you.

omg Clockwork Knight! I played the demo on a Saturn demo disc I had over and over, I'm sad I never owned it!

I unironically think Armored Armadillo would wipe the floor with Tunnel Rhino. Like it wouldn't even be close. I have no basis for this opinion other than knowing it in my heart.

I got banned from @pointcrow.bsky.social 's youtube chat during the Kingdom Hearts 2 stream because someone said no spoilers and I replied "Bruce Willis was dead the whole time" that is WILD

Had a truly bizarre dream last night that I was playing Blazblue with @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social in his living room and they added a new transmasc character and we just had a chill conversation about how rad that was.

Okay but...can you? Because your thing actually sounds dope.

Have you done/do you plan on doing Deja Vu? That's my favorite of the NES Kemco games.

Gotta wait until I have my stent taken out because of kidney stones but once I'm recovered fuck yes, this is the year.

Yeah like that's exactly where I'm coming from. Bringing him back is one thing, but bringing him back immediately after the end of the last game? Why even care anymore?

The fact that they brought Bison back in season TWO after everything in SF5 makes my blood boil. And then I get called naive for being frustrated by this.

You can actually go even further back than that if you look at games that never made it out of their own countries. Japan had a pretty thriving indie scene even in the 80s and 90s on PC (Touhou anyone?), and even the Wonderswan had indie darlings like Dicing Knight
