Bernstein was bang on with the whole "a plan and not quite enough time" thing, wasn't he?

Make the extremely niche content you want to see! (This has lived rent free in my head for a long time so I did it. It was fun.)

Whoa! It's my birthday! And as far as I can tell, maybe the first time my birthday has aligned with a Bandcamp Friday? As such, if you want to support this birthday boy, my band has two albums and a ton of merch over at discocactusmusic.bandcamp.com, and I have a track at dougperry.bandcamp.com!

I forgot about this, but I once collected a series of images comparing the A Link to the Past dungeons to Simpsons moments. A thread:

1. Eastern Palace
A screenshot from the Simpsons episode with the Hullabalooza music festival. Homer is recoiling from having been hit in the stomach with a cannonball. The reference is that there's a room in Eastern Palace where cannonballs are shot at you.

That's time on my 2025 Four Job Fiesta run! #ff5fjf2025
A screenshot of the final battle of Final Fantasy V. NeoExdeath is crumbling. Ninja Bartz (who is silenced), Knight Krile (who is berserked), Summoner Faris (who is blinded), and Time Mage Lenna (who didn't have any status effects) watch. Everybody lived!

Inside you there are two wolves.
A screenshot from the game Pentiment. The protagonist Andras Maler stands in the middle of a wooden house while a character named Old Otto sits and works at a table lit by a single candle. Andras has a thought bubble that says "I should get some sleep... or break into the library."

I had a great time writing an essay about #Deltarune where I talk about what retro media can teach us about the lost art of having fun. Nostalgia isn't always regressive; sometimes it can be transformative. Is it any wonder that everyone wants to kiss the TV? 📺 sidequest.zone/2025/08/04/d...
Deltarune Remembers How to Have Fun - Sidequest
In Chapter 3 of Deltarune, the player is invited to reunite with the nostalgic aspects of video games that encourage the player to have fun.

You know when you finally play/finish Undertale and really want to discuss it in the context of another game it obviously partially inspired, but you only know one other person who's finished that game, and to discuss it widely would mean spoiling the other game for people who haven't played it?

MY SISTER FOUND IT.
A photo of a white girl with glasses and frankly ridiculous bangs wearing a sun dress and an officially licensed Nintendo Game Boy fanny pack (black with pink trim and text). She is slouched on a beige couch with a flower pattern and is focused very intently on her Game Boy. Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins is visible in the cartridge slot. A navy blue balloon emblazoned with white 5s is also on the couch.

And done.

It happened (part 1; it still has to happen again on the other end. And it will, after a break.)
A cropped photo of a royal blue scarf made to look like the scarf from Hyrule Warriors. The completed bottom edge has red and blue stripes with the Hylian crest duplicate stitched above them. The rest of the scarf is partially visible, with the unsewn other end kind of crumpled to the left.

It’s still happening.
A photo of a royal blue scarf with red stripes at the bottom. The Hylian crest from the Legend of Zelda series is more fully stitched onto it than it was when I last posted a photo. The Triforce is yellow in the middle and the winged pattern surrounds it in red. There are still two yellow curved stripes to add. (Then it all has to be redone on the other side.)

A photo of a portion of the royal blue scarf (with red trim) I’ve been knitting, now with a red embellishment and yellow Triforce (from the Zelda series) duplicate stitched/embroidered onto it.

Next: making a bunch of test swatches and practicing duplicate stitch until I feel totally confident that I won’t mess up on the six-foot tube I just cast off.
A photo of a royal blue scarf with red stripes at either end lying on a hardwood floor. It’s folded in half, like it would be if it were draped around a person. The ends are curling up a bit because of stockinette stitch. They’ll be closed with fringe later.
