It's FunFactor Fuuuuuuuuuesday!
In today's episode of @funfactorpod.com, @tyschalter.com paints a word picture, I get confused about Final Fantasy VIII's launch date, THE SPOILER gets spoiled, and we take a look at Game Informer #53's review of GoldenEye 64—a game we both respect more than like.

it's 2026. PC Gamer is doing journalism while actual news outlets post more transphobia. a sandwich costs $16 or five easy payments of $5 with SandoLoan
Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel
Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

Screenshots really do not do this game justice because there’s so much motion and depth to the environments.

My hot take is that Hollow Knight is just a “Metroid” and not a “-vania.”
It was the best Metroidvania until Silksong came out.

For an episode of @funfactorpod.com, I looked into Heat.net and it’s now a generic Wordpress site for a Florida heating and cooling company, so this tracks.
Happy Valentine's Day, with Sega's Heat . net online gaming service & this 'romantic' magazine ad: "Yesterday, Ken met Doris when she was in Heat. This isn't Doris. Are you in Heat?"
