If you have the time, try to find the podcast of one of the Millers taking the VGHF crew through their storage lot. It’s an ey-opening glimpse into just how much *stuff* accumulated around the studio and how enthusiastic Cyan was about preserving it.
Just reflecting it’s been refreshing that there seem to be so many people on bsky who are experts/enthusiasts about very, very specific niche interests and are regularly sharing about those interests.
It is all fascinating and I am just grateful for everyone posting about their things.
That’s quitter talk!
Videogames are just cool. Big, small, fangames, mods, whatever. I know it's a stressful job making and selling them, but if your role is literally ANYTHING ELSE then there's no reason to be miserable about them. Or to have them make you miserable, for that matter.
There's so much it's overwhelming!
I want EVERY game to have this feature.
What if we're the dystopian Planet of the Apes that they splashed down onto, and they originally launched from some better dimensional counterpart of Earth?

We can't go back... but we can build shrines. :D
I loved the em dash so much that I memorized the alt code for it as a teenager: Alt+0151. This was back when all we had was WordPad that didn't auto-replace stuff like two dashes or curly quotes.
The em dash rules. AI can't ruin it. It can, however, get fucked.
Oh, this is a VERY good choice for a film adaptation. Home Safety Hotline is very smart and funny. Whether it works is entirely going to be dependent on the dialogue. The less shown, the better.
I love that Ben's found the deal with the Flying Tigers in this thread, but now I'm enthralled by some of the other titles there.
I was already familiar with some, but Chaos and CyberJudas and Psychic Detective all sound cool and I either never heard of them or played them and now I wanna!
Don't mind me. Just formatting a floppy disk. 💾
I could post this every morning and it would still be relevant
This is amazing, I love this stuff.
It reminds me of some of the sites you can find on neocities.org where people have been really dedicated to the late-90s/early-00s aesthetic. (Especially the ones with auto-playing music, MySpace-style. Some absolute bangers I hadn't heard in decades there.)
The 'x is a sandwich' meme is one of the things that always amuses me at how much it bugs me. (NO! A sandwich is a sandwich. A burger is a burger, not a sandwich. If I ask you to make me a sandwich and you bring me a hot dog I'm gonna be mad! A convenient category summary is NOT the full taxonomy!)

Turns out I wasn't tired of space -- I was just tired of billionaires sending pop singers or their cars up there as grotesque displays of wealth.
I've felt like a little kid watching interviews or the livestream this weekend 🥹 space exploration is incredible and astronauts are real life superheros
“If you use <insert grammatical pet peeve here> then I know your writing was done by AI.”
Cool, and if you use AI paranoia to try and shame a writing style you don’t like, then I know you’re a bit of a cunt.
Some people have all the luck!

I'm mentallytrying to pin it down by the medium and also failing. Airbrushing and watercolours were big at the time, but I can't tell what else folks were using to get that effect.
(Either way I love it.)
I swear as a kid in the 80s and 90s half the books I borrowed from the library had covers that looked like that.
Does anyone know what that art style is called?
OW! 🌑

You can tell this is Heaven because they're using cartridges instead of 'a digital licence'.
From the days before he crossed a line and became Hitman Monkey.
Surely even if you knew exactly when and where, you’d still have to cop it sweet for the kids, right? They deserve to see adults getting slimed.
On the plus side it’s a heck of a sincere compliment that people like the way you do what you do so much that they want to see it applied to other games. 😅
Endless respect for the retro modding scene. What could possibly improve on Mario Kart Wii? Eh, maybe an extra 5200+ tracks.
