RetrogamingSky in the last week

The first thing that happens when you join CM Punk's "Order of Anarchy" faction in WWE 2K26 is that you try to set some shipping pallets on fire and CM Punk comes over with a fire extinguisher and puts it out. Then he gives you a stern talking-to like he was some kind of cop. ANARCHY REIGNS BABY!!!!

Alt-Ctrl continues to be a gem. This year someone has a game about a hamster ball where you are literally the hamster in the ball.

My 4th GDC talk was well rated enough to get me on the pack of cards!

This talk looks at rewards in video games and their potential motivational/demotivational impacts

I also gave this talk because hearing "shot of dopamine" bugs me

Dopamine doesn't work like that!

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. A PADD is shown up close held by a pair of hands. (Kind of looks like an old palm pilot and if you're not old this will mean nothing to you) The beautiful LCARS user interface is displaying the text, "GO AWAY."

80s singer Thomas Dolby on raising queer kids: "the eldest is trans, the middle is a lesbian, and the youngest is a drummer"

The 3 genders

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

A wind waker mod where Link is replaced with Kiryu from Yakuza

found the perfect mod

a drawing of a monk wearing dark glasses and rolling dice at a table

gambling monk, germany, 15th century

Boss Mary transformation from the OG Silent Hill 2. I manually created each frame with keyframe animation to build this effect back then.

I remember this ad in Gamepro.

confusing everyone in the poker chat by not knowing how to describe an open straight draw and calling it a "two-sided wait"

shoving all-in and declaring riichi. calling pon on the turn card. i don't know what game I'm playing anymore

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu is a very bad fighting game.

But the development team absolutely knew ball because why the hell does Raditz have Mai Shiranui's Houou no Mai

#deltarune it’s dark

FIND HER. #DELTARUNE

nemesis is so funny conceptually. the ultimate bio-weapon. an undefeatable hunter. millions of dollars of research from the most evil corporation on earth. its target? a specific division of a single local midwestern police department

Frame #55900 from S05 -E20 - Taro Potato-629278

i had to know why someone gave this nearby island one star and i'm not disappointed by what i found

RE9 comic Grace: so how many kids do you have? Leon: what makes you think I have kids? Grace: o-oh I just figured from all the lame dad jokes you make the speech bubble stabs Leon thru the heart

GET HIS ASS, GRACE #re9

please do not tell me the Wii came out 20 years ago. I am aware and I am dealing with it.

Arcade machine titled EXECUTION with a guard and a double door gate

Presumably a marble baseball game

See Naughty Marietta Do Her Stuff, peephole machine

Tekken 3

Checking out some old-timey mechanical arcade games at the Musee Mechanique

a pink orange and red sunset can be seen through bare trees standing on spotty snow with a hazy foggy hanging in the air

hey. it's creepy and beautiful out.

Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, "What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is."

And my stove is left blinking and screaming, "IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!"

couldn't get it out of my head #njcup
