edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

There's one with the Batadons in the desert that scared the crap out of me when I was hunting down P-Switches at 2 am. Did not know that could happen.

Batadon, the Flying Moai guy from Super Mario Land. in Mario Kart World

Only 14 titles? The license to Waterworld can't be that expensive, c'mon. And where's Nester's Funky Bowling?

I need Beetle Adventure Racing on NSO yesterday. Whatever the licensing fee would be is worth it.

Quest 64 Official @quest64official.bsky.social · Sep 4

September 4 1999, Beetle Adventure Racing debuted in PAL territories!

Originally, EA partnered with Paradigm to make Need For Speed 64, but the project was cancelled and converted to this game after EA signed a deal with Volkswagen to make a game based around the New Beetle!

There are some incredibly vital issues at this moment in time that go beyond like, oh we disagree on marginal tax rates but we can still be friendly. Trans rights are one of those issues. Trans rights are human rights and those are not negotiable. (see also: genocide; fascism. not unrelated!)

My son is scared of Hulk Hogan and clings to us whenever his beer commercial comes on and we just realized it was because we had been loudly booing it.

Overall a good week for shiny hunting, also knocked Mewtwo and Trubbish off my Bingo card thanks to US wormholes and SOS chains.

Cameron @battletoad.bsky.social · Aug 31

Finally got my shiny 3-segment Dudunsparce. I did not keep track of how long this took, but I'm sure I was at least 2x over odds. Since the Switch 2 update I was hitting 4-10 per sandwich

That leaves Family of 3 Maushold as the final obtainable gen 9 shiny. I am not looking forward to that hunt.

Had a dream Nintendo added Mr. Peanut to the next Smash Bros. They seemed pretty embarrassed about it in the Direct, but implied they needed the money and couldn't say no to Planters.

I wanted to eat too much breakfast food for Father's Day, and Cracker Barrel was closer than Waffle House and nicer than Denny's. They had a lot of weird candy in the gift shop. I had a good time. I'm very sorry.

Cameron @battletoad.bsky.social · Aug 25

Being a parent is ridiculous. We're taking turns watching Sesame Street with our son and updating each other on the episodes we miss. Usually just to say "oh god, they gave Abby another segment this season" or "the new Letter of the Day song isn't as catchy."

Can't wait to start playing Silksong, get too lost, give up on it for a year, try again, get lost in the same spot again, put it down for another year and then finally 100% it in three days.

I like how this is designed to trick people into thinking Saw 11 came out and they just didn't remember it.

This argument used to be about stuff like universal healthcare and now it’s about specific groups of people deemed an acceptable loss

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · Aug 8

I am so fucking sick of this vile argument that fighting anti-trans hate is making perfect the enemy of good.

Forcing trans people out of society isn’t “good”!! It’s fucking evil!

“Once that is done” means “let a bunch of people that I deem less important die in the meantime”. No! Fuck you!

You all going to let the idea of perfect ruin good? We need all the weapons we can muster right now to end the fascist regime. Defeat Trumpism and the GOP. Once that is done and we are moving forward I guess if you want to you can bicker about perfect.

Whoops Fantastic Four also had a bunch of parent stuff, too. Although I think it was more of a Mom movie. The "Dad" content was mostly relegated to "Dammit, Reed, go play with your son."

Cameron @battletoad.bsky.social · Jul 20

I was not warned ahead of time how much dad content would be in Superman. That sure was a movie about fathers that love their sons.

Cameron @battletoad.bsky.social · Aug 1

Hey, is that stuff about working with a fascist arms dealer true? That sucks!
