Play EarthBound with your kids, learn important life lessons.

The only cool adults are boho jazz musicians. A sentient pile of puke is a captain of industry. You invested in some kid's Kickstarter and got nothing for it. The cops laugh at you and try to beat your ass for funsies. You're homesick and you can't stop crying.

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

Every awful corp and Saudi investment in the FGC won't kill the fact that all you need is a venue and a couple consoles to do this thing

Meanwhile, it was one of the only times I've ever been excited about football. I do not follow the sport at all, but have a couple of teams I will get excited about specifically because of feeding off of the excitement of friends.

We should do a Funktastic Gameplay Fall, then it gives us an excuse to play.

The first time I marathoned EarthBound, someone asked me why it was scheduled for a full day instead of like 12 hours. I didn't know how to articulate at the time that I still wanted to have fun with EB for what it is, not just make the credits roll and call it good.

I'm STILL finding new dialogue.

The clouds in Onett cast shadows into Happy Happy Village.

A screenshot of the meteorite impact site from EarthBound. This screenshot is taken during the day, so you can see the cloud floating nearby instead of the starry night sky. The cloud is a simple oval shape.

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on.

They've outlived dozens of ships.

Is there a Pokémon that isn't SOMEONE'S favorite?

"Surely Cryogonal isn't someone's favorite." you might say, BUT NO, I found a post from someone who listed him as a "used to be favorite".

Probopass? Someone's favorite.

Bruxish? Someone's wife's favorite.

I found this one in Seattle back in 2024. Same one, or is it maybe part of a series?

Before the night ends though, I'd like to once again wish Undertale a Happy 35th Anniversary. Never released outside of Japan, this Nintendo DS visual novel touched the hearts of fans everywhere.

A platforming segment in EarthBound, the 1997 Playstation extraction shooter.

Maaaaan, one of the comics in this Bill and Ted series gave me wild nightmares as a little kid. I should dig it up so I can laugh at it now.

I've been wondering about Pg 1 for a bit and have been meaning to ask... what is the intent of Panel 4? I'm imagining something like Pepper flashing back to previous incidents?

She came up to us at Merch and proudly declared "Hello, I'm here to report the items we have stolen!", and y'all are doing an excellent job in the Horkrims household.
