(plays game a million times)

(45 years pass)

Wait a minute. The name of this game implies that “frog” is a verb.

(three hours pass)

Or an adjective?

they were a little on the nose about it though, i could do without jared leto saying shit like "the 80s..." and "classic..."

Kuromi's mission.

Kuromi tells My Melody, "I will get ur ass". My Melody replies, "You will never get my ass". They are surrounded by small items: a teddy bear, a scarf, a bag, and a drink in a plastic cup.

Saw this post late last night and spent all day thinking about it #art #fanart #brickgame

Another drawing of the Brick Game gijinka, in which she and her pet is giving two "peace" signs; her glasses resemble the "tank" sprites from one of the more common Brick Game titles.

A cropped image of a flyer for the 1981 arcade game, Spiders, which simply reads "WE THINK THIS GAME IS BETTER THAN CENTIPEDE".

Also, sidenote; god I hate that 'X you've NEVER played' bullshit. Not only is it farcical half the time, discussing subjects that plenty of people did play, but I take a petty degree of 'fuck you, you don't know what I've played' towards it. Silly? Yes. Still winds me up.

scracchin @scracch1n.bsky.social · 5d

TRON ARES (2025)

One of the most puzzling experiences I've had with a film where the people who wrote the script and greenlighted the project don't understand the appeal of TRON but the people actually making the movie love it. 3/10 script meets 8/10 execution. I give it a 6. NIN cooked.
