With his little egg container hiding down his trousers.

He's SO famous!
I've been looking forward to seeing Armando, but you're right - this is a high energy group. Lots of fun!

If you can draw that, even roughly, I'd like to see what you see

Aw shucks. (But no.) 🙃

Experience suggests the 1960s and 1970s produced adults who could self-soothe by drinking and smoking heavily. Can decades smell?

Cringe photo of me in my 20s, dressed in Mario stuff and holding a copy of Super Paper Mario.

Some people seem to love it so much they got extremely angry at me for calling it a bloated mess in a video review as a (much) younger man.

Do parodies count? Balloon Kid on Game Boy takes place in Pencilvania... ✏️

I did also think it was a harness for his gun. (I forgot to add that to the drawing.)

Even with the benefit of new information, my brain refuses to update. This guy's been leaping out with his nipples on display for 40 years now.

I know, right?!

The bare-chested skin coat is very fashion forward.

Star Fox 64 / Lylat Wars is very funny when you intentionally mishear every lo-fi use of the word "Fox" as "Fuck".

As a physical game collector... I love emulation! You think I'd collect any of this stuff if it wasn't for emulation? Gimme the emulators baybeeeee!

Then today has been a good day.

Side by side. On the left, the gunman target with his shirt off. On the right, the gunman target wearing a big coat.

I don't know what this says about me, but even now I see the shirtless Chippendale, despite knowing better.

Oh my God! I've just this second realised this guy has a tall collar! He's wearing a big brown coat with buttoned-up breast pockets.

He's not strutting around with his moobs out!

The Professor target from Hogan's Alley stands up on a pair of spindly legs and looks around at the gangster targets.

The Professor target leaps in terror as a bullet hits one of the gangster targets.

The Professor Target makes a swift exit as bullet holes follow him off the screen.

The VS. Arcade variants of NES games are wild. The Professor target from Hogan's Alley has legs.

That's so sweet.

This is so fucking accurate it hurts.

UPDATE: here's my new Discord ( blakerbarkhound )
I'll use it for commissions and stuff like that, and..

"The thing you people need to know is that the government has ALWAYS..."

Look, pal... You're singing to the choir. We are not the ones who need convincing.

If you see this, QTP with your favourite Mario Character.

The whole Gateway Galaxy > Ukiki thief > Wart casino sequence was such a weird mess (why did Peach assume Wart knew the location of Bowser Jr.?!)

What came before wasn't much more cohesive. E.g. finding Yoshi.

I suspect a compounding problem reaching a head, and mileage will vary wildly on that.

Where would you say the halfway mark is?

His rhetoric could be seen as a negotiating tactic, with some arguing previously it shouldn't necessarily be taken literally.

Fuck's sake, BBC.

Counterpoint. It's a messy fart of ideas designed to drag the action-puzzle focused gameplay out for as long as possible. And it's smelly and dumb and I'll die on this hill.

@skullpiratemike.bsky.social Catching up with SBFC and heard you reminiscing about Monkey on the DK Jr episode! ❤️

My uncle watched it and I saw a bunch of it growing up. It's all on Amazon Prime at the moment and I watched the first episode the other week. It's corny but still fun.

I watched @seanseanson.bsky.social's Ubik PS1 video and decided to finally read the original book.

Who on Earth thought that would work as a videogame? They're off their rocker!

The platform worked well, but the drawers and storage plan didn't work so much. Now a monumental task to unpick some of the reorganisation work. 😖

Planning on spending some of my day building a platform. Like... a literal platform to elevate some drawers in a built-in wardrobe so the bottom drawers are usable.

Dad mode!
