The thing is that I don’t know how hard the Rare staff thought about this. Post mortem interviews with the devs always give me the vibe that they just ran with a lot of ideas off the cuff

14yo son keeps coming out to quote me hilarious lines from game he recently discovered

Sam And Max Hit The Road

which I think I first played when I was maybe 15 (and had much the same reaction)

I love this for him.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

Absolutely AMAZING commission by @glamdoodle.bsky.social of our Mario tabletop RPG characters; they knocked it out of the park!!! Our innocent little guys have no idea what’s about to happen to em… @prozdishere.bsky.social @sousourocket.bsky.social @suchminutiae.com @mewd.bsky.social @leogarcia.art

A Boomerang Bro wearing a Crocodile Dundee outfit looks very happy as he takes a group selfie. A toad with a blue head is blinded by the flash. A craw wearing a backwards cap and a nose ring has his hands in his pockets next to a Brock with a pompadour giving a cheesy thumbs up. A Koopa in a hot pink fur coat and short tight pink dress looks standoffish.

I found an entry on MobyGames for a compilation called "Quest & Glory" and I love that they're both 1) trying to deceive you into thinking it's Quest for Glory, and 2) using Vivaldi Script for the word "Quest" to deceive you into thinking it's King's Quest

Be safe, and don't you dare go hollow.

4 panel comic, une bunny and a witch cat are sitting around the fire, preparing dinner.
Dialogue goes :
"So, you're a Brush bearer, an Artist"
"Are you still painting?"
"I am"
"Hah! No way ! with the world on the verge of collapse and hoe fading day by day, you think art still matters?"
"Now more than ever..."

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.

I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

This dynamic also maps onto tech bros trying to manifest every dystopian innovation in speculative science novels.

We're back with more Leisure Suit Larry 2 on #SavingOften, and finally! The airport! Now @sousourocket.bsky.social, @mewd.bsky.social and I can escape whatever it is that we're trying to escape, which we only know about because of meta knowledge! Wahoo.
