Sonic Project 06 is such an incredible labor of love to get the game into a more enjoyable state, but I still get heartburn playing each level every year.

It's that time of year again. Happy Hedgehog Day, everyone out there!

“Oh you’re just learning this NOW?” Good! Thank you for learning it! It’s very important that you understand what I’m also upset about!

Each other.

Since it's cold and flu season and you may also be traveling tomorrow

While we're on the subject: Don't call the cops on your neighbors. Not for noise, not for garbage, not for an unmowed lawn, not for *nothing.* Calling cops kills people. Nobody deserves to die for a loud party.

Libraries are precious and beautiful and must be defended

I firmly believe we can culturally make it *incredibly fucking embarrassing* to admit you asked ChatGPT something because actually using your brain to find real information was just too hard

I hate this idea that eventually the industry is going to capitulate to AI. Nope. Let's fight. Let's revile it. Let's start an art war and take no prisoners. Fuck AI. Let's throw it into the sun.

What if social media is bad for us and we’re refusing a golden opportunity to move on

Critical, need to know information I was denied as a child

Super Mario Sodas (1993-1994): A line of Super Mario-themed sodas from Shasta, featuring 4 different character/flavor combos: Luigi Berry, Yoshi Apple, Princess Toadstool Cherry, and Mario Punch

To all those who celebrate!

ITS FLAT FUCK FRIDAY

I am so tired of the already elected saying that things hinge on the next election. Do more now and run on it. If I was president the day I learned that crimes were legal for me I might act on that knowledge and get the Supreme Court in line.

Current and permanent mood

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

Stream some Lower Decks today!

Happy Mother’s Day, to those who are pet-moms, to those who have dealt with fertility issues and pregnancy loss, to the trans moms and the enby moms, to the single moms and the still-in-the-shitty-relationship moms. To just all the folks and extra to those society doesn’t always hand out flowers to.

Remember to celebrate Piccolo Day Today

I used to be a tech enthusiast. I am becoming a tech dethusiast. I don’t want any more tech to buy. I don’t want smart appliances. I don’t want smart pants. I don’t want smart dumbbells. I just want things that I can buy and that work for 20 years.

General reminder than an important part of internet hygiene is refusing to humor bad-faith assholes. Screeching "Slavery was a net positive!" or "The clitoris doesn't exist!" or whatever comes from 1 of 2 types: trolling ragebaiters or relevance-starved wannabe influencers. Don't elevate either.

Also, quick repost in case anyone missed it: RPG Maker XP is FREE for the next few days on Steam. I nabbed it, excited to make some useless, zero-pressure nothingmess. store.steampowered.com/app/235900/R...

February 2nd is Groundhog Day in the United States, but 30 years ago it became Hedgehog Day as Sonic the Hedgehog 3 launched for the Sega Genesis

A Happy Hedgehog Day to all!

Also, there's nothing more nakedly political a statement than declaring a piece of media "apolitical."

I realize I’m no different from a vinyl record hipster for this opinion, but boy howdy, no amount of emulator/upscaler filters will ever truly replicate the magical warmth of playing games on an old, beat-up CRT.

It's been a minute since I actually broke out my SNES. Very excited for Friday!
