Nice toque

I'm really loving this game right now (~80% of the way through, and having received a review copy in no way plays a part in that declaration). Considering buying it on the Switch as well so Conklederp can play it and share it w/ our friends who we often do escape rooms with.

Yes.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

I mean, when you get a good lab worker/phlebotomist who knows their shit and can get a needle into a vein for a donation without feeling anything, it certainly could be that they have glowing hands.

Rather than say best, let's say Top 10 "Favorite" Video Games:

1. FF VI
2. Eternal Darkness
3. FF Tactics
4. Morrowind
5. Tears of the Kingdom
6. Legend of Zelda
7. Super Mario World
8. Super Metroid
9. thomas was alone
10. Resident Evil (2002)

The top 4 probably won't change if I redo the list

First time I played on the PS, I got the ending where you escape before fighting Tyrant, and thought that was a brilliant ending. Only later did I find out there were multiple endings, and found the one where you do fight Tyrant far less interesting.

I can safely concur that killing nazis in classic hit video game Wolfenstein 3D is a lot of fun.

What the President said yesterday was disturbing. I’m relieved he held off on striking civilian infrastructure, but the fact of the matter is that no part of the war has helped the American people in any way.

10 Things We Want to See in a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Reliable leakers have claimed an Ocarina of Time remake is coming, so we've put together a list of what we think it needs.

Call me whatever you will, and I know I'm in the minority, but I really hope the next Zelda game isn't an Ocarina of Time Remake. It would just take the wind out of my love of the franchise sails that was reignited back in 2017.

Classic Brian Regan moment.

Was experiencing this playing "The Exit 8." Was thankfully able to reduce 'head bob' in the settings, but was still getting nauseous, so I put a dot of dry erase marker on the middle of my screen and that help a bit.

Also happens in ~15 minutes if I try playing Doom 2. That one's the worst.

Good evening @chrisbodegard.bsky.social , I have a potentially odd question:

Did you ever go by the name "Khaos" and sing a filk song about Cthulhu to the tune of ABBA's "Fernando"?

Your voice on @plante.bsky.social 's Post Games sounded familiar.

Apologies if I have a terrible ear for accents.
