I wish there was a bizarro version of Kickstarter that let people donate money to stop a project from happening, because I’d love to Kickstop Starfleet Academy.

I just discovered that my research is cited extensively in the Wikipedia entry for Nuka-Cola, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. 👍

Every comic cover since has been trying and failing to reach the heights glimpsed by this Carmine Infantino cover for Flash #133 in 1962. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
Flash being turned into a puppet while thinking "I've got the strangest feeling I'm being turned into a PUPPET!".  FUN FACT: it is impossible to see this cover and not want to see more

Currently bingeing @decafjedi.com and @bvigeant.bsky.social's Quest Quest podcast at work (because I should have started listening to it a long time ago, tbh) and nodding sensibly at their Very Correct Opinions. Well, most of them.

That's what I've heard. I guess I should add it to the queue.

My playthrough of Hugo's House of Horrors is now up on YouTube! I remember seeing shareware copies of this one beside the register at Software Etc. back in the day, and I'm glad I finally got a chance to play it.

I just saw a commercial for the Broncos/Jets game this weekend, and I'm pretty sure that Bo Nix and Sauce Gardner are both ChatGPT-generated names.

I'm sorry, but I just found out that Salt-N-Pepa, Kid 'n Play, and Martin Lawrence all worked together at the same Sears before hitting it big. 🤯

I almost forgot: I threw in a live unboxing on Sierra On-Line's Manhunter: New York around the 29-minute mark. youtu.be/_fw0puRMnv4?...

Even if it's not a great book and the author seems like a jerk and the publisher can't decide what to do with the royalties, at least someone finally got around to chronicling the previously unexplored history of RPGs on a Nintendo console.

Don't worry; we provide ample spoiler warnings before revealing too many of the game's secrets.

Today on our FIRST BIRTHDAY episode of Quest Quest, the Adventure Game Podcast, @decafjedi.com and I discussed the remarkable game IMMORTALITY. We talked on the films it was inspired by, its chutzpah, and why we love it. We call out when we enter spoilers. Listen wherever or: zencastr.com/z/8QxWP2de
A woman with an smile stands center in an art gallery between two face masks elevated by sticks. A woman stands in the dark of night with city lights behind her. A table reading. Two people with their back to the camera discuss at the front. Three women sit looking distracted. Two monks look concerned at a woman sleeping in the foreground.
