The amazing mail sent to a video game publisher An old Activision idea from the 1980s has led to some incredible things in the 2020s for Panic, the publisher of Despelote, Arco and Time Flies: “The range of things we received was wild."

Secret URLs. Special webpages. People learning how to send letters again. And way more mail than we ever expected.

A goofy idea that turned into one of the most fulfilling things we've ever done: www.gamefile.news/p/panic-mail...

I have turned off
the AI features

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

This looks amazing

Me, trying to explain what Magic the Gathering is to my not-nerdy-in-that-way coworkers: “It’s like Pokémon cards, but you play as wizards rather than Pokémon trainers.”

(I am only third-hand knowledgeable at best with either game)

A corgi napping angrily, which is a thing that corgis can do. His face is smooshed into the floor and he is surrounded by shoes.

When Möther makes you deal with a child, a youth, an absolute infant, and you only get one second breakfast to compensate.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in

I’ve of my father’s oft-repeated stories is of having an extended stay in the UK and discovering that at that point pork was the only meat priced comparably to Australia - but in England it was the cheapest meat, and Australia it was the most expensive.

I wonder what it’s like these days.

HI! HI HI HI HI HI HI!!!!!!!!!!! HIIIIIIIII!!!!

A side plate with a red border. It has black line art flowers printed on it, which have been hand painted in assorted colours.

Photo I took of these wonderful people (the faces of whom I’ve blacked out) singing happy Birthday to their lovely old dog at a bar I was at tonight in Portland

I was at a dog-friendly bar in NW Portland tonight and a table behind me started singing Happy Birthday and then I realized it wasn’t for a person but a really old dog who was wearing a crown and he was old and fucking adorable and I love this city

Fix your hearts or die.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Why does this look like Sonic’s mug shot

Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme?

3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice”

Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”

and Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said, All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them

A corgi is hogging the middle of a dog bed that is much too large for him. Behind him, a black dog lies on the floor.

“You know, there’d be room for both of you on that bed if you just moved over a—“

A closeup of a recipe for “Banana steak (baked)”, which appears to involve butterflying a large steak in order to stuff it with sliced banana and sugar before folding it back up, covering it in bacon, and baking in a water bath

I am reading a reprint of a cookbook from 1936 and it is… educational

Distracted myself from my 3am attempt to get back to sleep with the sad realisation that I probably missed my last opportunity to see New Found Glory live when they were here a few months back. Chad does *not* look like he is doing well. (Hopefully I am wrong.)

I am still incredibly proud of this line.

I mean, with all the GenXers freaking out about the Challenger disaster in the last week, you’d think “Low temps are a problem too” would be kind of top of mind right now

more than half of pirates is avast majority

orange arial rounded on black text reading "It's now safe to turn off your spaceship."

There surely must be something by The Lucksmiths which can beat this

Y’know, brain, I know my mother said the apparently key phrase “hand in [something] hand” to me on the phone a week ago and you have thus latched on to No Children by The Mountain Goats ever since, but maybe we could take a break for a new song soon?

I do like the song, but *still*…

Half of The White Album sucks but no one can agree on which half it is
