SSX Tricky. The more open-world design of SSX 3 and later meant the tracks leaned more toward plainer slopes and less into crazy things like tropical icebergs and giant pinball designs... and I missed the crazy.
Oddly, I prefer the Skate series over Tony Hawk, for exactly the reverse reason.

"Lumines but more so" wasn't something I knew I needed until I saw it in action. Feels like an even more natural fit for that style than Tetris Effect was, and I love Tetris Effect.

That's true. But if I think about it too long, I start to doubt that I'm capable of more than that myself.

Since Gunpoint, I've always admired your passion for launching people out of windows whenever possible.

It's tricky to rock a rhyme. To rock a rhyme that's right on time. It's tricky.
Nothing against Tony Hawk, but I always liked SSX more.

I haven't tried sardines medicinally. When I was four or five, I did demand ice cream with sardines and chocolate sauce once. Oscar the Grouch said it was his favorite dessert, and I had a strict policy of always following advice from a Muppet.
(I'm 46 now, and that policy is still in effect)

So you're telling me that I can draw a direct causal line from "Manly Guys Doing Manly Things" to new episodes of "King of the Hill?" Awesome. Sometimes, good things do happen.
... though I may now start to think of Bobby as "Chubby Jared."

It's damn near impossible to parody anything these days, reality is stupider than any writer could ever keep up with.

Marvel & Capcom's agreement on the game let them use a bunch of obvious characters that both compaies agreed on, but then each company got to pick a couple that their people really wanted. Capcom picked a tentacle monster.
He's my favorite, too. Good call, weirdos at Capcom.

Is that Cyberdwarf, from Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden?

I heard he's not really gay, but he is being Ratatouille'd by a gay rat, so he doesn't really get a choice in the matter.

Between the plane and the TrumpCoin dinner party, there's some very stiff competition for "most blatant example of bribery in presidential history," and that's just from the past week.

Same is true with tacos in California. Slick/modern place? Probably fine. Old place that looks half-condemned? That's going to be good. A random van and pop-up tent on the side of the road where half of the cooking equipment appears improvised? JACKPOT.

I use this one in Firefox, but I imagine there are a few like it for other browsers.

I keep a browser extension installed that lets me tell a WEBP to download as PNG or JPG as I go. It's saved me so much time.

I can't decide if Honkstravaganza is the name of an evil clown, or just a regular goose.

He was just stepping out of the spotlight a bit. He thought his fascist meme antics would make him more popular, yet he became even less popular, and that was hurting the value of his stocks.

The guy doesn't even believe in germ theory and fights against vaccines. You could not pick a worse person if you cared about the nation's health. That's why he was picked. DOGE & Project 2025 want these departments to utterly fail.

Don Jr. says it's stage 5, Don Sr. has said it's stage 9. They always exaggerate numbers to make themselves look better, or their enemies look worse. It's such a strong compulsion, the result doesn't even need to make sense, and they still have to do it.

If you ever find yourself on one side in an ethical debate, and Big Bird is standing on the opposite side, something has gone terribly wrong inside of you.

This is proof that it Donald Trump is utterly incapable of mentioning a number without wildly exaggerating it to sound better for him or worse for anyone else. It's his brain saying "If four is bad, we'll double it... and add one more, that'll stick it to Biden!"

I keep hoping the two Hyrule Warriors games end up on this list. The third game in the series is on the way, so enhancing the first two would buy them some bonus publicity and goodwill.

When RFK Jr. tells me I shouldn't listen to RFK Jr, I almost feel like I need to start listening to him, entirely because RFK Jr. advised against doing so and is always wrong.

They bought HBO, one of the most recognizable brand names in media over the past 40 years. Right away, renamed the HBO Max streaming service to just Max, discarding that valuable brand recognition they paid so much for.
And now they've announced they're renaming it again, back to HBO Max.

Don't make me choose between my fear of automation replacing humans' ability to make a living, and my love of mechanical violence. It'll just make me feel a bit guilty as I eat my Triple Dipper® delivered by 2023 world-champion, SawBlaze.
Besides, retired BattleBots should be put out to stud.

I remember even in the 80s, as a kid, recognizing how many villains in movies and cartoons were just thinly veiled parodies of Donald Trump. And that was just from seeing him occasionally on a talk show or news. We all used to understand who he was.

Very sick kids do die of the measles. That's why the vaccine exists, to keep those kids from becoming very sick kids in the first place.
Unless he's talking about a version of eugenics and only kids strong enough to survive measles unaided deserve life... oh... it's RFK Jr... so it's probably that.

It's like watching a terrier catch a rat. A grab, followed by savage thrashing until they're satisfied they've heard enough crunching sounds.

Hiding their faces means they're either afraid or ashamed. I'm going to assume it's fear, because I'm not willing to believe they're capable of shame.

I was going to suggest getting one doll, chopping it into 25 pieces, and loading each into a door on an advent calendar.
Then I realized I was just re-inventing Johnny Long-Torso.
