This is the last thing I was working on before I left Epic last year—though it was still early enough that I didn’t get to see too much progress. I hope it came out well!

"chat,"

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

if I’m riding the T through North Station or Kenmore when a game has just ended I always look at the bejerseyed passengers’ faces and try to guess if they just saw a win or a loss. Nailed it today

Calendar widget that says “No More Events Today”

I hope you’re right, little calendar widget

A conversation. 1: How long has it been like this? 2: On April 7th, 2026, people stopped being born. On the same day, people stopped dying, and people stopped aging. 3: Ham cheese. ham cracker. cheese cracker. ham and cheese cracker. ham and cheese. 1: Why? 2: We don't know. Nobody knows.

Today, April 7, 2026, humans inexplicably stop aging, dying and being born (17776 or What Football Will Look Like in the Future by Jon Bois, 2017)

Great call. I’ve always liked when someone leans into a leading tone over a IV chord but this feels spicier

Recently learned that the Joe Hill book "NOS4A2" was released in the UK as "NOS4R2," which is an extremely funny bit of accent translation

if pokemon’s so great how come there’s not a pokemon 2

10:57: Just Ate "Twix Snickerdoodle". Wow! I enjoyed the subversion of the 'Cookie Element', and the lingering sweet flavor. This dessert makes one question what the nature of COOKIE and CANDY truly is. It is a rare "treat" for fans of the genre.👍

18:32: Ate "Broccoli".

Hell yeah. That transform offset feature is a game changer

holy hell, Skenes got the hook after 0.2 IP

I hope Netflix never gets a baseball game again but we got 'em 🙏

God is this opening night thing terrible. I'm a baseball fan and my team is playing and they already have me not wanting to watch

An obscure functionality of Donkey Kong Country Returns is that if Donkey Kong spends 3 full attack cycles of a boss not damaging it, Professor Chops will pop up telling him what to do, e.g. "BOP NOW!" In the Mole Miner Max battle, the tip is particularly condescending, being simply "TRY HARDER".

Damn, sorry to hear. This sucks so much

Well, shit. Sorry to hear ❤️

ugh

Finally listening to the new Mitski and this shit would be all over the Miss Havisham scenes in Baz Luhrmann's Great Expectations

Just the other day YouTube recommended me the episode where he had Jonathan Coulton on to perform a bunch of the songs. I still knew most of the lyrics!

lindsey buckingham 🤝 stressed-out pokemon fans when times go bad when times go rough won't you lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff

I like the spirit of that handheld mode feature, but in truth everything I've been playing on my Switch 2 recently already has a Switch 2 version anyway. I sat on XCX until it got one! Maybe I'll go back to FE3H or something one day though eh

I bet Konami regrets buying that big behind-the-plate ad in Japanese now with Japan not making it to the WBC semis

a pitch maybe 2.5 baseballs below the strike zone

rough to lose a game on a called strike down here 😬

I thought the unspoken rule was that the baseball stadium PA system only plays the intro to Crazy Train when the bases are loaded, but the WBC is really challenging that. I just saw a dude get an infield single with the bases empty and, sure enough, ALL ABOOOOOOARD

Page 6 of the Super Mario Compact Disco 1993 Japanese booklet contains a very small photo of singer Reiko Chiba wearing a T-shirt with "Macintosh" replaced by "[profane term starting with f]intosh".

Warning: profanity
A photo in the booklet for the official 1993 Super Mario Compact Disco album contains a profane shirt in a photo that likely slipped through due to be being printed so small that it requires extreme zooming in to view the swear.

You said in your talk that it's more fun to destroy things that are beautiful. Why do you think that is? Motokura: That's a tough question. I think part of it is the surprise element, something that was so elegantly put together, beautiful. When it's destroyed, it goes to nothing. And that gap between these two states is what creates delight and surprise, I think. Did you ever during development go to one of those destruction rooms where you get a bat and you just break things? Motokura: No, I've never been, but now that you described it it sounds kind of fun. We would've wanted to go. So do they have a lot of beautiful things for you to destroy? Some, but I also think you can bring your own things. So if you want to destroy your own beautiful things, you can. Motokura: Interesting.
