I can't believe she was playing Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage on the side!

Yeah but that one is a photoshop where they took Brian out of it! I'm tired of this globalist Quest 65 erasure conspiracy.

Alright now you're going to tell me I never played Quest 65. The party battle system was awesome! I even have a picture of it, so it can't be fake.

A screenshot of Brian from Quest 64 battling with some buddies that is definitely not from an old prototype Final Fantasy tech demo for the Nintendo 64.

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

Fuckin yikes, man

Some comics were transparent about their willingness to ignore their moral convictions in order to play at the festival. “So what, they have slaves?” asked Tim Dillon in a podcast segment that led to his firing from the festival. “They’re paying me enough money to look the other way.” Pete Davidson offered a similar take, acknowledging in a chat with Von that people have asked him why, given his father’s death on 9/11, he would take a paycheck from the Saudi government. He did not address the criticism directly, but he did suggest he was happy to forget 9/11 for the right price: “I just know I get the routing, and then I see the number, and I go, ‘I’ll go.’”

Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect

Role-playing, novelty/humor, curiosity. Playing the traditional hero can be less interesting when there's a different path offered.

Fellow GBC Mario sports appreciator. ❤️ The GBA games were solid as well, but Tennis not connecting to Mario Power Tennis was really dumb and will forever make me salty.

a three panel "comic" made from shots of donnie darko

the panels read, in order "your order has shipped" "real or label created" "label created"

the first two panels show a man sitting on a couch, and the second panel shows a woman sitting in a chair

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

Especially with gaming. Like if you're in your thirties, shouldn't you have anything else in your life? Other hobbies, relationships, obligations?

I don't know about this one, Xk.

The comic frame lines could be improved a bit.
