Rogue Legacy 2 is maybe not your type of game but I really appreciate that they have a whole "House Rules" menu where you can make the game as easy or as hard as you want with no judgement or penalty, it's really just like "here, go crazy." There's even an achievement for enabling it

Learned about this and so much more from from a TMBG Radio flash app they had on their website back it the aughts. Got so many golden obscurities thrown at me between that and the podcast. Still wowed by just how much they've put out over the years even beyond the album releases

you'd think I'd be used to the unceremonious abandonment of long-running plot points at this point, but like after all these years we get the very first straight up depiction of God, and he's utterly impotent, but no, that's not worth harping on, Israel is Mordor I've got something here

I just can't get over how this all started with "heaven is letting demons in now" which once upon a time would have rocked the foundation of the strip's most basic conceit to its core, but no, let's unceremoniously abandon that in favor of an extended LOTR "Jews are Orcs" diatribe

It's crazy to think that in Sinfest's tradition of long-running characters with established storylines being thrown to the wayside in favor of flat political cartoon caricatures, Uncle Fucking Sam is in the former category

Interesting, my American company uses emojis in Slack all the time. We're maybe the exception though! Or more prevalent in software dev? 🤷

In the car I told my 4 yo daughter that one of our dogs was getting a haircut today. “Daisy is getting her hair cut” “No, daddy, Polly is getting her hair cut” I said, oh yeah, you’re right, I got their names mixed up. 30 seconds later, I heard her say to herself, “I loved it when I was right”

If you ever want to get lost in a fascinating archive of consumer aesthetic categories you forgot how clearly you remembered, or find some granular era-specific textural inspiration, the Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute is an incredible rabbit hole: cari.institute/aesthetics

Gonna try to post here more than I did on the other site. I'm trying to push myself to make a game, probably in Godot. We'll see how it goes!
