King shit
A very serious lead singer with a new wave mullet stands at a microphone, behind him is a heavyset man in a tropical shirt, a sunglasses, a black baseball cap, and rocking a cop mustache.

I legit laughed out loud at this dumb joke from Deathstalker II:

“Do you think we lost them?”
“(Scoffs) You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to catch the Prince of Thieves”
*crossbow bolt!*
“It is pretty early in the morning!”
A handsome man (Deathstalker in Deathstalker II) with floppy hair and a wide smile rides a horse with a distressed damsel behind him. “(Scoffs) You gotta get up pretty early in the morning”

He kind of looks like Tommy from Smosh

You know when the lead of your 80s fantasy movie looks like this you’re in for a good time.

This just in, Doctors confirm that Charlie has a terminal case of Has Never Been Petted Ever syndrome!

There is only one cure, but Charlie is doomed never to get it.
My cat Charlie, a black and tan tabby, flopped over on this back on a notebook on a wooden coffee table. He is very cute, but also very sad because no one has ever petted him ever.

Carmine Deville’s original Carmen Romero sketch from 2018, which looks incredible.

I honestly had to zoom in and make sure I wasn’t in this photo. I’m not, but also I am.

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed
Now, all I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact
You cannot kill what you did not create…

I push my fingers into my
Eyes
It’s the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it’s made of all the things I have to take
Jesus it never ends, it works it’s way inside
If the pain goes on…

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead

The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead

Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead, Undead, Undead
Undead! Undead! Undead!

The virginal brides!
File past his tomb!...

Under the wire - Gambit debuted in August 1990, a couple months before I turned 13, which means I was the exact right age to think this was the coolest motherfucker ever.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising is currently free. It was built off of the Assassin's Creed Odyssey engine, and is basically AC Odyssey meets Hades meets Zelda with some WoW visuals.

It has a pretty simple character creator, that does not give a fuck about the Gender Binary.

This summer I started leaving out a mug of clean water on the game room table for Charlie and he now almost exclusively drinks out of it.
