Anyway, remind me to show you all the sick Shadow the Hedgehog shirt I'm going to wear tomorrow because I am nothing if not a man of many conflicting opinions.

As a kid, I somehow had the mental fortitude to be able to beat enough paths in this game to get the true ending. When I tried playing it again as an adult, I could barely get through one. I just did not enjoy playing it.

281. Shadow the Hedgehog

All hail Shadow... except for in this game cause it sucks ass. While I've grown to appreciate the humor in the image of an edgy cartoon hedgehog with a gun, the game itself is just an unfun slog. Later levels especially feel like they take an eternity to beat.

Boxart for Shadow the Hedgehog featuring the titular hedgehog look as cool as possible holding a giant gun in front of an explosion.

Hey, that Silent Hill 2 slot machine was a huge risk because they never made a Silent Hill 1 slot machine. What if people got confused?!

Dang. Couldn't even be bothered to give Zip Lash a single PNG of the boxart.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

It's an incredibly weird series of videos and my guess is it isn't leading to a new game announcement or anything. Nintendo just likes making shorts with Pikmin.

Kremlings are so cool. The fact that Barrel Blast had so many unique ones has always been one of my favorite parts of that game, and Kludge is my favorite of them! He fit perfectly for spooky month, especially since Barrel Blast came out 18 years ago today in the US!

280. Disney Magic Kingdoms

DMK is not a bad game in the traditional sense. Production values are pretty good. It's been regularly updated for 9 years. It functions as intended. But it's barely a game. It's a microtransaction filled idler that does nothing but waste your time. Pathetic.

I've grown to really love Commit this to Memory. Probably my third fave behind Even If It Kills Me and Dinosaur Life. Panic Stations is easily my least favorite but there's still some good stuff on there cause they're just a great band.

I told Carissa that I thought it was good but not as good as their older stuff and she was like "Is it really not as good or have you just been listening to those other songs for 20 years?"

Cut me deep.

🦇 Impish MATTS in the belfry 🦇 @impishmatt.bsky.social · 1d

I did know that! They've been releasing tracks from it over the last few months so I've been keeping up with it. Some good stuff on there.

The first Tron is about a talented programmer who gets his ideas stolen by someone who takes credit for them, who is then threatened and blackmailed by an evil AI who knows too much and wants to become all powerful and destroy all other programs.

My point is Grok would be a bad guy in Tron.

this clickbait headline is actually harming trans people by acting like it's too late to pressure Newsom and it pisses me off!

Newsrooms know that false panic goes viral so they intentionally lie to everyone to drive up ad revenue.

Meanwhile, it demotivates activists and distracts from the fight.

If California can't even be seen as a safe state for the LGBTQ+ community then we're all fucked. This dude's just like all the rest of them. A fucking fake who will act like an ally right up until he decides it no longer benefits him personally.

Yeah probably. I see the vision with the Pikmin stuff, though.

This is probably how the Mario movie starts.

Every week there's a new article picking an arbitrary normal thing to blame global warming on because they want you, a regular person, to feel bad when in reality we've known for years now that the 1% and big corporations are responsible for the vast majority of pollution causing global warming.

Coach Jerry (referee 🔵) @gopher33j.bsky.social · 2d

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

Inhalers contribute significantly to global warming, study finds

Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.
