my favorite ozzy song

lucca!

The oyakodon place is called Oyakodon Senmonten Marukatsu, and it's in Ginza. Tiny little place. Very good.

I knew I wanted to explore the character of Patrina in my Curse of Strahd game, but I was pleasantly surprised by Laura's character's "she's hot, I can fix her" approach.

"Favorite character" and "character you'd want to get a smooch from" are not necessarily the same thing, so this is potentially interesting.

That said, the first character that comes to mind for me is Agrias Oaks. I aspire to be the kind of person Agrias would be willing to smooch.

We shouldn't have to live on eggshells wondering what's the next right the courts will take away from us.

Even assuming scotus upholds birthright citizenship, you can tell the institution is fundamentally broken because we can plausibly believe they'd come down on the other side. That shouldn't even be a possibility.

If you have the stomach for it, there's the drive-by approach: post your take, then turn off notifications and never give in to curiosity.

Or the therapeutic approach: compose your take, edit it to your satisfaction, bask in its glory... and then delete it without posting. It's weirdly satisfying.

I don't have an issue with Chainsaw Man's ending.

I do feel like I lost the plot for that story like a year ago, though.

Big purchase requires big Internet. This is simple math

Dunno about greatest, but my first big, heart-pounding boss was the end of Kirby's Adventure.

You defeat Dedede, and he looks TERRIFIED.

You accidentally summon a scary black orb and fight an aerial battle.

Then you fight a tornado vampire on the moon?

It was a lot for a 7 year old.

if you can’t see that shouting “free Palestine” at a random Jewish person is antisemitic, your brain is cooked. clock out, you’re done. the world has passed you by.

Pro shopping cart strat: park next to a cart corral and take a cart from there.

That cart has already served another customer through an entire trip. It has proven itself reliable--functional, at the very least.

Also, it'll be easy to return to the corral, and you make less work for the employees.

More art on the timeline is never annoying.

So in a way they're winning.

Been playing Roots of Pacha lately. It's good!

The main thing I want to highlight is that, unlike many other farming sims, it really feels like the entire community is coming together and contributing to its success. They're not just static villagers you happen to live near--you must collaborate!

Image of 9 game titles from a currently popular meme of 9 games that influenced you. Or maybe the meme is 9 games to get to know you. I'm not sure anymore. It works either way. The games in my list are, in no particular order: Earthbound, Final Fantasy Tactics, Disco Elysium, Cave Story, Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, Crusader of Centy, Final Fantasy 4, Pokémon Blue, and Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete.

This feels like it bears explanation, but I won't do that right now.

Actually, though, I would have included Breath of Fire 2, but the generator didn't seem to have it as an option.

Also, was Chrono Trigger more influential to me than Pokémon? Was FF6 more influential than FF4? Maybe, I dunno.

I think Typhon does this a bit. And maybe the, ah, infernal beast a bit? But yeah, most of them avoid it.

My Balatro approach in a nutshell.

Woah, almost invented a whole new kind of jump scare

Deleted and reposted because it's definitely the 10th anniversary and not the 20th, haha.

On this 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley's release, I just have to note that, not only is the game itself a treat, but so is Concerned Ape himself.

After working with him all this time, I'm grateful for the constant reminder that good people make good things.

Me, regarding at least two isekai anime this season.

I hope people enjoy at least some of my dumb little jokes in the UFO Companion. I wear my Working Designs player's guide influence on my sleeve.

3. Wind Waker. Awesome style, super smooth, fun story and characters. I enjoyed the sailing, the treasure hunting, and the ship to ship combat.

Also, you have a grandma that gives you super-powered soup!

Also also, a guy runs a game in which he enthusiastically shouts "kaBOOM!" and 'SPLOOOOOSH"

2. Tears of the Kingdom. Managed to find a balance between freedom and storyline better than BotW, which compelled me through to the end.

Simply fun from moment to moment. Fulfills the promise of an open world filled with things to discover, which is likewise a miracle.

1. Link's Awakening. Incredible how much heart they were able to pack into a Game Boy game. Turning the limitation of 2 buttons into a tactical loadout choice with surprising depth. Cool dungeons, great music, and just a bit of existential horror. The game is kind of a miracle.

Didn't expect the two isekai anime I'm watching this season to both be BL. Cool change of pace.
