Mario Kart World absolutely did not have to have the most beautiful sunrises in videogame history.

Not until after I played Doom which did make it seem a little less great than it would have felt otherwise.

For the disgruntled Tekken players saying "save us Virtua Fighter!" Virtua Fighter 6 is probably 2 years away. Virtua Fighter 5 is here right now though.

I do not need this. But man, do I ever have a weakness for both FFIX and games with widescreen cover art.

They've gotta reveal who is composing the music for The Adventures of Elliot. I was googling it the moment this song played on the title screen.

Just watch Perfect Blue for the first time and I sat there for 5 minutes afterward literally doing this.

Taylor Swift is a little bit like a right wing grifter in the same way that Batman is a little bit like Bruce Wayne.

City of the Wolves is absolutely my favorite fighting game of the last 5 years and also not at all the Garou 2 that I always wanted.

Caleb Kinkaid @calebkinkaid.bsky.social · 14d

Literally the best choice possible! But it really makes me wonder who the last one is? Mr. X? Meka Dragon? Reala!?

I feel like they discovered my wife's maiden name is Nuñez and just went, yeah give them the Spanish language ads then.

It's not really a problem, I wasn't going to click through anyway. It's just odd!

Caleb Kinkaid @calebkinkaid.bsky.social · 15d

Does anyone else get about half of their "targeted ads" in a language they don't speak? There's a good 50% chance any ads I see on my phone will be a Spanish. 100% of ads for Facebook are in Spanish. I thought these companies had all of our data, why do they think I can speak Spanish?

I'm fully ready for Marvel Tokon character reveals at this point. There's some obvious picks like Thor and Wolverine, but I wanna see how weird they get with it. Give us Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur as one character. Put Howard the Duck in there. Baymax! Go nuts!

Caleb Kinkaid @calebkinkaid.bsky.social · 16d

And apparently due to it being PPV you also can't restream it at all! There's plenty of time for them to rethink this and change their minds though.
