Alright, let’s do this. For the sake of variety, these won’t necessarily be my all time favorite tracks, but they will be interesting ones I want to highlight. I’m playing on Hard Mode (no repeat games)!
If I didn’t already have my copy, I’d jump on this. It’s big and unwieldily (I actually prefer reading the smaller C&H collections most of the time), but it’s glorious nonetheless. I took a bus to a neighboring city to a half price books that was having a sale about a decade ago to get mine.

A Tyrannosaurus Rex as a boss fight. There is not a single game that could not be improved by adding one.

Excellent news! It shouldn’t have been this close, but I’ll take it. Hopefully this stays this way and Katie Wilson is the next Mayor of Seattle. If you live in Seattle, CHECK YOUR BALLOT online to make sure it was counted properly. 🗳️
SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Friends, why do you crave the Harry Potter in the Fort Night when you could just play Darkened Skye for Gamecube. Consider:

- Also third person
- Also features magic
- Also has weird brand synergy
- Not propping up the world's most notorious transphobe
- You get to use a Gamecube controller (rad)

Make no mistake about it: This administration is trying to take away your ability to protest their new secret police force and even stand next to those who do so, and they are abusing the legal system to do so.

Kat is not afraid. I'm not either. We all have to stand together here. We will win.

Seattle, remember to vote! We’ve got a chance to get rid of Harrell and, more important, elect someone actually good!

I’ll never forget the time I showed Baby Pac-Man to a longtime friend when we were at a local barcade, and he described it as “a Kafkaesque nightmare”.
now that we have videos, i can repost one of my favorite videos ive ever made:

This is the future liberals want.
Zohran Mamdani's promises of free busses might sound great, but I live in Albuquerque NM where city busses have been free for five years and I'm here to tell you the truth. This is what every bus in my city looks like now. Think carefully about your choice this November.

Announcing you’re “going into crime and stop-motion” is such a flex. The Louvre better watch out!
Guillermo del Toro says he would be interested in doing a new ‘PHANTOM OF THE OPERA’ film

“It’s such a classic tale but I would do it differently. I have a couple of ideas but for now, I’m going into crime and stop-motion”

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!

I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.

People are acting like Miyamoto said "oh it's so hard to play old games" but the point was about the progression of time and the IPs. He mentions the Virtual Console right there.

So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

Gary Larson coming out of retirement because his pen clogged up, he got a tablet and just had fun playing with it, is a nice reminder that you should every so often go on Jetpens and buy yourself a new art tool to play with. Art can become a chore and routine, experimentation can shake that.
"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad!

I love everything about this! For those who may not have the full context, Wyatt is my cat who passed away, who I loved SO MUCH, and for about the last year my bestie @winkware.bsky.social has been making amazing art of him, and her cat Pixel who passed. Go follow her! She makes the best art. 🐈❤️
Wyatt dressed as a vampire for trick-or-treating. He tried to be scary, but he was just too cute to be scary. But he is having fun trying. #Halloween #cat #pixelandwyatttine #art #Winkware
