Update about the English Moonlight Syndrome fan translation efforts🌕

The entire script has been translated! Now we’re in the middle of editing and reviewing the text in-game to be sure that every line and sub is perfect. We’re getting closer to our goal!

Oh lol, was searching for some stuff about email implementation, this came up in the search results, I clicked it, and it's perfect.

NYT article "Everyone wants your email address. Think twice before sharing it".
Below it paywall "Create an account, or log in", and prompt to enter your email.

HFTGOOM/ He Fucked The Girl Out of Me has been deindexed by itch.

I am worried it could be erased.

Please considering downloading an offline copy to help preserve the game here:

Incidentally, here's the video I did years ago in which I talk about Junkbot and also some other things. I'd probably find it too embarrassing to share anymore, so good thing I didn't rewatch it before posting this youtu.be/5JZSg_fYlII

A new Junkbot sighting found in LEGO set 40805 Arcade Machine. Junkbot would be difficult to play with a joystick

Watched the 1964 animated short "The Hangman."

Highlighted in the most recent Animation Obsessive newsletter, this is a terrifying film about a man who comes to town and begins hanging people. Instead of helping their neighbors, the cowardly townspeople turn away.

This is TOTALLY me when I've just jumped out a window and am being chased by a bear dressed in finery

From Goldilocks and the Three Bears (1928)

Still from a black-and-white animated short showing a young girl running in fear from a cartoon bear wearing glasses, a top hat, a suit, and trousers

I tried to get back to editing together a simple video game review video and learned why I stopped: I can't find a way to get a video file off my phone anymore. AirDrop and importing to Photos just don't work 😫

This video was "supposed" to be done in 2023 btw. I guess a complete loss of motivation also didn't help

Also, here is a gameplay tip: afaik (it never tells you explicitly), time only passes whenever you enter or leave the overworld. You only have a few in-game years, so you need to be careful about this. Once you have enough money, don't shy away from buying flights between cities to save time

WD @mackerelphones.bsky.social · Mar 16

Yes, I still live...

The English patch for Linda Cube, unless it's been updated, contains a number of points where it crashes or the sound begins screwing up. So don't be shy about taking save states. For me at least, they saved me from bug trouble several times

I had NO idea where this image came from! What heartless cruelty

scary tall bart @tallbart.com · Feb 16

When you share this image, you are blindly repeating one of the most unapologetic, vile pieces of transphobia ever uttered on television. Spitting on Brandon Teena's grave for Internet points. I'm posting this because I still see it randomly posted without any context.

Comedian Norm Macdonald on Saturday Night Live saying, "Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story should die."

The New York City Menace's statement to Norm Macdonald dated February 27, 1996. It details Brandon Teena's tortuous rape and murder and forcefully condemns Norm for his hateful words on Saturday Night Live.
