If you haven’t played Threes!, do yourself a favor and try it. 2048 is a soulless clone.

Me too. I would say Pac-Man or Galaga, but Super Mario Bros. 1 is the oldest one where I’ll sit down and dig into it for a while. 40 years later, the character’s weight and momentum make it feel better than plenty of modern games.

How about the music from the Splatoon games? They’re squids and octopi, but they sound suitably fishy.

Oh dang! I also came in here to say Bad Religion, and I would have been wrong. Thank you for bringing sources.

Found it on Getty Images. Oh no, that’s Dr. Oz kneeling over the guy, too. I keep forgetting that snake oil salesman has a job in the White House.

My thought was to make a plumbing system that pipes water up and down, and someone’s superpower removes the effect of gravity on the upward flowing section only. Gravity accelerates water going down, but doesn’t decelerate it coming back up. But, I don’t know anyone who actually has control over gravity in a defined area other than myself in my dreams.

That’s really cool! Nintendo of America worked with this charity to modify Wii dev kits with 160GB hard drives and Bluetooth over wires! They’ve been doing this together from the N64 to the Switch Lite. I wonder if I can get involved in Streamers vs Everybody and raise money for the Starlight Foundation.

I’ve got this. That’s Sanae Kochiya, the other shrine girl from Touhou. This fan art came from Twitter when it was still Twitter.

Never mind what this orange idiot says. The real damage is that no other country will ever take a US President’s statements seriously again. He’s flushed us down the toilet and there’s no coming back.

My favorite Mario Kart game. Shout outs to CTGP Nitro, a romhack that keeps the entire original game intact, but optionally adds dozens of custom tracks.

Good point, yeah. I wonder if I should be saying Trump is the only government official in the US ever to be impeached twice. It includes every president, vice president, federal official, state governor, or state judicial official that there’s ever been in the US. That’s probably more accurate.

Here’s the writer’s Bluesky version of this post.

That last bit though, that he’s the only US President to be impeached twice, is too narrow. Of all the hundreds of millions of people who have ever been US citizens in the past 250 years, Trump is the only US citizen to ever be impeached twice.

They’re protesting for the wrong reasons. Look, I don’t like China’s leadership either, but these protesters are out there wearing MAGA hats and chanting racial slurs. Please don’t be fascist.

In 2007, I got my first Master System, the Coleco Handheld Electronic Games. I liked it a lot! It was a solid little bar of soap handheld with a tiny screen that made Fantasy Zone look great. I liked playing Aztec Adventure and throwing money at my problems. I eventually got a normal Master System and banged my head on Wonder Boy in Monster Land for a while.
