Happy 2025, everyone.
2020-2024 have me bracing for impact. But hey: you never know. Maybe this year’ll turn it around. 🤞

Also, I have to say, getting older is dumb. I’m trying to fight a series of boss fights in Metroid Prime 4 and it’s annoying because of fucking arthritis of all things.
Enjoy your thumbs while you got ‘em, ya whippersnappers.

How hard they are to make. It's useless because somehow that knowledge has never stopped me.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Oh yeah! Annual reminder time. You can watch #Muppet Christmas Carol with the emotional lynchpin song "The Love Is Gone" replaced back into the middle of the movie under the Extras menu on Disney+'s entry for the film.
I learned this tip this year! If you have Disney+, the uncut full version of the movie is in the Extras menu for the Muppet Christmas Carol page. I watched it this year with the song back in and it was SO much better.

Does Katy Perry know that “VH1’s Behind the Music” isn’t a thing anymore?
She doesn’t HAVE to fill her life with wild events that can be teased before commercial breaks. She’s just choosing to.
