Sony-Warner???

What do you think the odds are on there being illegitimate Cosby kids? Like, 1/1?

For the record, I don't like key cards. Buying Switch games with a download code inside was a major bummer, and key cards on Switch 2 are barely any different, to the point where you might as well just buy the games digitally.

From the Switch game "I want to eat Umaibo!" I'd be careful, fly-by-night developers. The creators of Doraemon are pretty litigious. Just ask Alpha Denshi.

This episode of Golden Girls is killer. Hal Lindon, great slapstick comedy, and some hilarious jokes... this could be one of the classics. Betty White shines as a comic genius in this one.

"We need to stop by the gift shop for one of those spiked balls on a chain."

Don't get me wrong... I like a lot of the dud systems that were released to absolutely no critical acclaim. I was the lone Saturn advocate at the time everyone and their mothers was going nuts over the Playstation. But really, a sense of perspective is in order here. They failed for a reason.

"Why isn't there a 5200+?," people ask, evidently unaware that the system was a spectacular failure, so reviled within Atari that Jack Tramiel is rumored to have attacked one with a hammer at a staff meeting. Why indeed. Maybe you should ask for a remake of the Edsel while you're at it.

@straczynski.bsky.social I've been pounding down old episodes of He-Man to keep me sane, or at least pacified, during a low time in American history. Funny thing, your name keeps popping up!

"They're pretending to be women!," the withered old hag screamed. "You pretend to be a Christian, yet nobody seems to mind that..." I responded.

Damn, I can't get Sega CD games to run on my Genesis Mini. I'm sure I did it once before, but even adding BIOS files via FTP and using the Genesis GX Plus emulator doesn't seem to work. I am thoroughly vexed.

A thought often occurs when it's this late at night. "Why am I not watching a Golden Girls re-run?"

But yeah, Namco is like the Bruce Lee or Leonardo daVinci or Muhammad Ali in the field of game design. Beyond peer, to the point where you can faintly believe it came from human hands and minds.

I mean, Shigeru looks kinda goofy. He IS kinda goofy, radiating Willy Wonka vibes all over the place. He posed with a sword to promote the Nintendo Wii, and did a symphony with a Wiimote. It's almost worth keeping Shigeru Miyamoto around just for his nutty charisma.

I've turned around on Shigeru Miyamoto, but not because of his recent work. He does this groovy late 1970s Japanese pop art that translates itself almost perfectly to his video games. It's uncanny. He was a nepotism hire that was unnaturally, uncannily good at his job!

Namco were the kings of STYLE in arcades, with everything they made exuding sleek Japanese artistic confidence. Namco is Japanese pop culture at its 1980s peak. Everything *glistens.* Every piece fits perfectly into place. They were decades ahead of the competition in that regard.

I mean, look. I am making motherfucking games look good. On the ColecoVision. The COLECOVISION, people. Do you comprehend this? It's like two generations away from a Pong unit, and I am able to wring Namco-quality arcade graphics out of it. (Okay, maybe Warp Warp quality arcade graphics.)

I'll counter your question "Why do men have nipples?" with "Why do women have clitorises?," Sophia. They're vestigial reproductive organs that wound up on the other sex.

But Andrew Taint can lick my balls. Dragging women by the hair into your cave is SO one hundred thousand years ago.

The rapist was Andrew Tate. I knew it sounded like "taint."

Any zoomers who support that guy richly deserve the toilet Trump will leave them in twenty years. Sucks to be you, assholes! Enjoy your dystopia! Try not to trip on any skulls!

I don't even know what the guy's name is, and after a five minute DuckDuckGo search, I just gave up. (Fuck, when did search engines get so shitty, anyway?) You know who he is. The dirtbag who got a pizza and some cops delivered to his home in Transylvania, courtesy of the environmentalist.

But that's okay. In twenty years, if we still have a functioning society, you zoomers can make your own cartoons starring your favorite bald rapist cromagnon man. "Unga bunga! No just means you're not trying hard enough!"

So yeah, boomers got their Fonzie in MY cartoons. And I'm getting my video game references in YOUR cartoons, zoomers. Sorry not sorry. I'd feel more pity for you if you weren't such big fans of the Romanian Captain Caveman who thinks rape makes you manly.

Whoopsie, the font was wrong! This should be a lot closer.

"Won't zoomers get tired of all this 1980s nostalgia?" Me, remembering that half the cartoons in the 1980s had Fonzies as a supporting character: "They can suffer. Lord knows I did."
