A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is so goddang good, y'all. Seeing such a fantastic adaptation of my favorite part of the Song of Ice and Fire universe has been a treat.

The influence this magazine ad and its importance to me cannot be overstated. Used to have this cut out of a magazine and it was like, the only decoration on my walls for years as a kid, and that Stand Tall & Shake the Heavens was something ten/eleven year old me thought was the coolest shit ever.

Shout out to the person doing uploads of old Malice Mizer concerts and music videos in HD, you're really serving a niche that I specifically am all about.

I cannot explain to you how completely about Amuro the song Suffering by Amelie Farren is. Please listen to it.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

Remembering this quote for pretty prescient reasons lately: "The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Fun development moment: Sometimes that idea that got brought up eight months ago but got shelved was the right one after all. Just needed the right context.

Got a lot of progress done on my main game project done in 2025, so for 2026 let's try to get the damn thing out in some fashion.

I need to write a few more one-page games, but to those that have recently downloaded Giant Shoulders and We'll Talk When I Return, thank you for doing so! I hope you have fun with 'em.

This game, it's online play, its soundtrack, was, has, and likely will continue to be huge for me. One of my favorite games of all time, with a look and a sound that no other game, even its sequels quite captured. It's one of those SEGA games brimming with a style that you can't get anywhere else
It's the 25th anniversary of Phantasy Star Online's release in Japan today!

On 21/12/2000, Japanese players could sail through SEGA space and embark on a sci-fantasy adventures in their global network RPG - online with others!

Got some love for PSO and memories of playing it? Share them here <3

This is real. Meticulously customizing a mini of one of my OCs has, and continues to give me a dopamine hit whenever I look at it.
