A disabled friend going to FanFest is concerned about the lack of consideration for disabilities and may end up selling their ticket. If anyone can pass along to SE or someone in fanfest, would be appreciated. would be sad if someone couldn't enjoy the event because of obstacles.

Okay, so remember how I lost ~60 lbs after my father died last year and we decided to ramp up our workout?

Yeah, well now I'm too damn skinny. It's like I'm 19 again, except I have some abs this time.

Suffice to say... I'm pigging out tomorrow.

We just finished the original run of Murphy Brown, and also started on the reboot.

It was a great show, but boy did it go downhill after Eldin left. They needed to bring in Lily Tomlin WELL before Season 9.

First episode of the reboot is pretty good though. Even without Jim in it!

Nights like this that I'm thankful to have someone in my life who can put aside their needs once in a blue moon to help me process 15-20 year old trauma.

Things in my life aren't great, but I'm fully aware that they could be much worse. So I don't like to vent very often.

Big Lebowski Bowling, a mobile game from 2007, was developed by a North Korean software company
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?

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Culture Brain wanted Super Chinese (Kung Fu Heroes/Ninja Bros. series) to be their "Super Mario" so badly that they lifted the naming convention of their games the Mario series was using (e.g. Super Chinese _Land_ on GameBoy, Super Chinese _World_ on Super Famicom.)

The current unstable version of the MiSTer CD-i core supports the DVC now, meaning that 🚨 you can watch Video CDs on it at native resolution 🚨

Hmm, a "Steam Deck Does What Nintendon't" regular feature for the blog?

Possibly, but I need to fix the blog. Fortunately, a lot of what my current project could potentially fix the issues I have with The Dude's Soapbox.

The one huge piece I planned a year ago is just going to have to wait I guess
Went ahead and snagged Xanadu Next on Steam since it was less that $5 and I've wanted to try it for years. Plays really well on a SD if you tweak a lot of things... Like the controls.

This one is definitely a SteamDeck Does What Nintendon't. I'm really digging it so far.

Gonna announce an FPGA platform, post a bunch of shit takes about the MiSTer, and threaten to sue the spouses and children of YouTubers who call me out on my horrible attitude.

Nothing can possibly go wrong with that game plan. No sir. I'll be king of the jagoffs!

Back in the years before blood lost all its flavor
You slipped and fell but you fell into my favor
But I chose the land between Dan and Beersheba
Because I heard they were looking for a savior

So I focused my attentions on the wars in the west
Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test...

Alright folks, for #RandomGameSaturday I present Destiny of an Emperor.

I'm honestly surprised that we don't talk about this game more. It was:

1. A Capcom-produced JRPG on the NES
2. Unlike Sweet Home, was officially localized
3. Was every bit as good as FF1 or the DQ/DW games on NES/FC.

I can't remember which of you folks recommended Scarmonde. I just finished the demo. Wishlisted this for when I have money/time again.

This plays like if an 8-bit FF game decided to lean more into the Wizardry influences. But with balanced difficulty.

In 1945, the US Army put out a training manual intended to help rank and file soldiers spot incipient fascism in the US. One of the telltale signs that one was dealing with a fascist was that they called everyone to their left "a communist." bsky.app/profile/seth...
The third fascistic tactic to watch out for is their tendency to label anyone they disagree with who is to their left "a Communist." Fascists claim that they alone can save their nations from "the communist menace." Anyway, the 2024 GOP platform contains the phrase "Christ-hating communists."

I want to believe Lololo and Lalala are canonically different from Lolo and Lala much like Mike from SF1 is supposed to be a different alcoholic boxer named Mike than SF2's Boxer.

That Earthbound romhack is really neat. Y'all heard that one song from it? I forgot what it was called, but it was really megacrazygonutsfast.

Someone should put that on vinyl one of these days, even though it's from a romhack. More people need to hear it.

Anyhoodles, good night!
Something tells me that Toby Fox chap is really going places in life. Just you watch!
