This zine posted by my buddy @hmibisondollars.bsky.social is worth reading. It costs nothing, and if you get to page 6, you can find out how my alter ego did in the e-fed.

Foone does cool stuff, and she needs help.

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months for medical reasons, and I'm still about 1000$ behind on being able to pay for my car and storage. I'm sorry to keep asking, but if you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help.

When I was in Japan, I skipped seeing Osaka Castle to visit a retro arcade full of Astro City cabinets.

I have no regrets.

For arcade crawlers like myself, Adores is a familiar name that ranks among the giants like SEGA and Taito.

After an impressive 40 year run, Adores Sunshine--named for its location in Ikebukuro's Sunshine City right off of the iconic Sunshine 60 Street--has announced its closing in January 2026.

I'm not getting enough engagement on Facebook, so I'm making AI images of Jesus waving an American flag and making out with veterans while listening to Shujin Academy VGM Club. I'll be posting the slop just as soon as I get the image generator to visualize the part where they're uplifted by my show.

Virgo, Libra, and Pisces are all getting laid tonight. Be sure to practice safe sex, you crazy kids!

Meanwhile, Capricorn will find a $50 bill in their jacket pocket, and Leo and Cancer should take a chance and lick that delicious, alluring doorknob.

I laughed so hard at this.

This is the weirdest thing to me. The police are already funded with our tax dollars, often excessively so. And somehow, that's not enough? Meanwhile, our schools are broke, and the "back the blue" people want to take money away from public schools and give it to billionaires to run charter schools.

Professor Tom of Shujin Academy VGM Club @shujinacademy.bsky.social · 2d

This meme & the people behind it are so weird. It's fine when a game is horny and that suits the story they're telling or the game they're making or whatever. But every game doesn't need big honkers to be good.

Except for Daytona USA. That game is shit, because the race car doesn't have big tits.

퓨̸크̸ "Games No One Likes" Puke @puke.bsky.social · 2d

I looked up the origin of this meme (which I correctly identified as NOT a joke, this time!)

One, of course it's Twitter. It's always Twitter. Two, it is just so exhausting to be in the same space as these losers at this point. What does "with gamers in mind" even mean here? That looks terrible.

The designed with gamers/"activists"(?) in mind meme of the Ghost of Yotei protagonist, edited to look like a whitewashed child with tits literally bigger than her face, as indicated by physics defying cleavage

Sometimes, you see a piece of art that speaks directly to your soul.

Scorpio needs to spend some extra time on the dating apps today; somebody's going to be swiping right on them.

Meanwhile, Taurus should buy some lottery tickets.

If Kanye West had gone down the Andre 3000 route and gone nuts for playing the flute or something instead of, you know, we'd all still like him and he'd still be considered a great rapper.

Anyway, try not to let your money and bipolar disorder turn you into a fascist.

It sounds like Shadaloo is like a distressingly large number of countries that way.

I don't typically do partisan stuff, but sometimes an idea just comes to me and I have to run with it.

"Portland, a well known Crime Capital, has been ruled by Antifa and frogs for many years"

. . . but in the style of the Final Fight opening.

As horny Konami arcade flyers go, this one's almost tasteful and subdued.

Anyway, my LinkedIn profile is up to date, in case any big AAA game publishers need a senior executive. Not only do I have good ideas to unite the gaming public, I am also good at laying off people who've been crunching for six months straight and then giving myself a $10,000,000 bonus.

Ubisoft missed the obvious solution here: Instead of a Black male protagonist, they should go with a light skinned Black female waifu protagonist with huge boobs and perfect makeup. Then the incel gamer set would have no choice but to love the game.

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

I used to look at the multi page ads that SNK would run in EGM and think "Who can afford a $700 game system with $200 cartridges?"

And honestly, I'm still not quite sure who could.

If this game had a sequel, it would be dynamite.
