Mapquest is about to go viral

What percentage of late-80s / early-90s TV shows were scored on a DX-7? I hear it *everywhere*

Favorite multiplayer map? Top 3, at least. So many sniper battles in UT99.

The kids are absolutely amazed because I told them that our house can make liquid snow, as much they want, every single day of the year

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

Good lord what a throw :o #superbowl

Bilmuri absolutely crushes it live. The sax and female vocals are giving my alternate-universe The Midnight vibes and that is amazing. youtu.be/RW5nHYDSVDw?...

Every year on Groundhog Day, we wait to see if winter will last. In Carleton, we've been stuck in the same Conservative cycle— declining healthcare, unaffordable homes, & crumbling infrastructure. What if this year we broke the cycle? Vote Liberal on Feb 27 #onpoli #ONPoli #Vote

Super fun match, but I’m kinda deflated by that ending, NGL.

Holy shit I forgot Roman was even in this. #RoyalRumble

Bron Breakker and Jacob Fatu will be excellent when it happens. I get why it hasn’t tonight, but when it does… #RoyalRumble

Bron Breakker is just it. The spear on Escobar looked like it hurt a goddam lot #RoyalRumble

Thaaaat looked like two feet to me, but I’m happy to let it go #royalRumble

Tuning in late, just the men’s #RoyalRumble starts. Penta vs Rey is a super cool way to start, the old and new guard for luchadores

Me: *draws narwhal in CSS* No one: No one: Absolutely no one: Me: You know what would be amazing? Removing the tusk from the drawing, adding the design to a clock, and waiting for the hour and minute hands to overlap, so they look like the narwhal's tusk.

Also, why is Electric Callboy so fun? youtu.be/BiP0FpY88E4?...

I know Wrestlemania is always the biggest show, but something about the Royal Rumble match is just so much fun to watch.

TIL I want a 7-string acoustic guitar youtu.be/oMdLyCSSdxI?...

Y’all ever play Frequency or Amplitud (PS2 or PS4)? Those games are, like, my spirit animal. Getting the halo in Amplitude is probably my greatest video gaming achievement, and the PS2 didn’t even have achievements to give out.

Hey, I did a thing on this one!

i have used the phrase "we nailed legs to a dog to make an octopus" a lot in technical reviews of late

Not just binging Castlevania Nocturne S2 today is going to be very hard indeed.

TIL that the exceptional #Evangelion manga was made to accompany the anime’s release in the mid-90s. I always assumed it was made wayyy later than that to cash in on the success.

Why can't I stop? WHY???

Hey #frontend #web friends, what are you excited to learn / spend more time with in 2025?

Also, #raw is apparently not the hashtag I wanted to use for a wrestling post

The people were not into the Hulkster at all. Good. #wwe #raw

I don’t know why I’m so hyped for the #wwe raw debut on Netflix tonight, but I am. Maybe it’s Seth and Punk? Or maybe it just feels like a huge deal

I really liked the first couple of hours of Tiny Island Survival, there were some really cool ideas and design decisions. All the fun and mystery ended as soon as the grind and dungeon levels kicked in :( Regardless, I hope it does well for the devs

Holy God, the finale to #EpicTheMusical has every single one of the feels. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Beef Wellington is just a corn dog from a different socioeconomic background.

Guitar bsky, help me out: if you’re an intermediate guitarist who wanted to get markedly better, would you pick one learning target at a time (eg moving around the fretboard, then hybrid picking, then scales) or pick a few and do them on different days of the week?

Trying to pick a single hobby to really really focus on for next year, and I’ll be damned if I can’t decide between finally making a game or finally getting (closer to) good at guitar. I could split it up into 6-month chunks, but I’m really curious to see what a full year of commitment can do…

"to face unafraid the plans that we made" goes so insanely hard

An essential thread, really, what Bluesky was made for

Hiroshi Nagai has absolutely one of my favorite aesthetics. Inextricably linked with City Pop and the 80s, and I love it all.

Even (or especially?) in Latin, Everybody Wants to Rule the World is a banger.

The new #Superman trailer is leaving me cautiously optimistic, which is I think the best I could've hoped for. Top Gun'ing the original John Williams score is friggin' awesome either way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhUh...

I've always been skeptical about how much better a Leuchtterm1917 notebook could be, because ultimately it's... it's a notebook. Having just received one as a gift, I can say that it *is* just a notebook, but goddam do I like the little touches that are sprinkled everywhere.
