Cute, but Dragon Kingdoms did it better.

I still quote "These purple things are unknown to science" to this day.

New fucked up snail comic discovered (Fantastic Comics #1, 1939. Tragically overshadowed by the debut of Stardust the Super Wizard on the following page).

Like we said with @threetwo.bsky.social, this REALLY needed to come out for a console with an analogue stick.

What I mean by this is: I have always wanted to cover other things, obviously.

I put a lot of that to one side in order to focus on Souls-adjacent videos. When it became a very unpleasant place to be, I stubbornly carried on anyway instead of stepping back.

In the end, that didn't do any good.
My biggest regret is not just sticking with Sin when she said she didn’t want to cover Elden Ring. Instead I bashed my head into a wall for three years and got nowhere at all.

What a heartbreaking waste.

See also Glinner and where that’s ultimately gotten him.
Sinfest is a cautionary tale about failing to grasp the difference between “Patriarchy” as a social order and “The Patriarchy” as some kind of malevolent shadow government you fight with a computer virus.

It’s stupid, but you can watch this feed the author’s fascist radicalisation, strip by strip.
Youtube video sensationalizing Linkara's shit webcomic "Lightbringer" as "The Worst Comic Of All Time".

I'd rather be buried to death under a mountain of Lightbringer comics than whatever the fuck Sinfest has become.

Going to be positive from now on. "Venting" has not been venting, it's been churning the toxin around in circles. I need to let it go.

There are 1500 rules in the scripts governing NPC behaviour in a mostly forgotten open-world Amiga/ST/DOS game called The Adventures of Robin Hood. All affected in real-time by 32 characteristics, what you're doing in the game, your reputation, and the changing of the seasons.
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?

This broken chimney tile in Maranda isn't used anywhere else in the game, and is only visible when standing in a single specific spot.

The reason you only ever use Magitek Armour in parties of three is that the fourth character slot is used to store the Magitek's palette.

Dadaluma is unable to use his "whistle" command if he's under the Mute status. However, there is no way to inflict the Mute status at this point in the game.

In FF6, if you put Umaro in the lead position and collect the Palidor magicite on the Solitary Island, he'll do a spellcasting animation that you can't see otherwise because he has no magic command.

I’m sorry about the last 12 hours. I had time off for the first time in ages, sat down to do something, and immediately fell into a pit of “what’s the point, nobody will notice or care”. I will try again tomorrow and walk away if I start to stew.

I get so annoyed when people say the algorithm is good like "don't blame the algorithm, it's the audience!" and like... absolutely not. There are too many things I see that deserve more than they have and their problem is always 'not fitting neatly into a box'.
