Neat!
‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Look, all I'm saying is that if my original NES didn't have a loose pin, it would be hooked up to my TV right now.

From an exclusive interview with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth on his portrayal of Link in the new live action Zelda Movie:
GaA: So, you've decided to employ method acting to prepare for this role, can you tell us about that?
BEA: Hya! Hup. Hep. Yaaah!

There are some fantastic designs at Unplugged this year. I so wish I was going.
We close out another year of Pinny Arcade with a doozy of a #PAX Unplugged 2025 Pin Quest. We're buried under a ton of really great partner pins for this show. Get your plans in order! www.pinnyarcade.com/news/pax-unp...

Introduced #Unmatched to a friend, and he was hooked.
Him: So which of these (online) is the starter?
Me: Every set is a starter, every set is an expansion. Get whichever one you like.
Him: Then how do I get a map?
Me: It's in the box.
Him: Someone is smart.

#PAXEast tickets are now on sale. I absolutely love this show. At PAX I've found a fantastic and supportive community of gamers and like-minded geeks.
As we get closer to the show, I'll be posting guides on Pinny Trading and navigating your first PAX.

We're getting through some backlog and show notes are here for Episode #63 - Conventions. In our main topic we pool our con-going experiences and go over how to prep for a con, what to pack with you, and how to deal with con crash afterward.

I'd say that this is a solid review of the SWORL. I picked one up because I have inflammation issues in my joints, making a traditional controller not a good option for me. But the SWORL is an amazing accessibility tool for me allowing me to play games I otherwise couldn't.

This is the single coolest pin board I've ever seen. Shout out to a fellow Paxtronaut who put a lot of imagination and wicked awesome design.
Pinboards I made for my PAX Pinny Arcade pins collection — an arcade machine to match the Penny Arcade/PAX theme, and a claw machine (fittingly filled with cats), complete with a movable claw! They are in PAX AUS colour acrylic + deep black velour. @cwgabriel.bsky.social

Some of my friends are saying that they think Silksong is harder than Hollow Knight. I don't find that to be true. For example. when playing Hollow Knight, it took me SEVERAL tries to defeat Hornet. While I'm playing Silksong, Hornet is getting defeated ALL THE TIME!

Was pretty bummed that I got sick and had to miss out on a father-child day at Connecticon. But at least kiddo got to go, and her Hornet cosplay turned out amazing. Really proud of what a good job she did.

This is a strongly thematic game with a narrative drive with multiple endings. It's a significantly higher weight game than the price point implies. If you like longer gametimes, strong art, and sweeping adventure themed play, this is definitely for you.
