One of the fun things about making a real Game Boy RPG is that I can play my game on anything from a Game Boy to a GameCube! I could even pop it into a Super Nintendo! 🎮

Screenshot of a Game Boy RPG. The player character is standing on a tropical beach, looking out to the sea. A strange door can be seen above them.

Screenshot of a Game Boy RPG. The screenshot shows a turn base battle screen against an enemy. The interface shows the players health and mana and the enemies health. The players options are to "Attack, Spell, Use, Equipment and Run."

I got some more battle music done for my Game Boy RPG! 👾

I was composing this with the intention of it being the regular battle music, but I think it came out too intense. I'm thinking of swapping it with the current boss battle music. 🎶

Someone could make a business of taking people's phones and computers and disabling every "Ai" feature and making it so they can't be re-enabled without explicit permission and confirmation. I would pay for that service.

I can’t remember if it was strictly 100% continuous but as a kid I started a playthrough of Pokémon Ruby and by the time I finished for the day I had just beaten Norman (Gym Leader #5 of 8) IIRC

10 years ago, Amanda Marcotte was calling Bernie supporters a bunch of racist, sexist, spoiled rich kids and now she's trying to launder the history of the Young Republicans. el oh fucking el.

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

Wisptober Day 4 : Horn
“Hidden amongst the tall grass, a young unicorn unsteadily rises unsteadily to their feet. Their horn is closer to that of a beetle, shaped like a crescent moon, and it is plain to see that this sweet foal might just be one of a kind...” #wisptober #unicorn

I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

How many cases are there of "the author's barely disguised fetish," but the story is so good that nobody cares?
All that comes to mind for me are Tarantino films, but I know there's more out there.

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

When I was a kid I mentally wrote off all kinds of weird/janky game design by assuming I just Didn’t Get It somehow rather than it being bad, and that is actually the case enough of the time that it’s still my first assumption, but… maybe not here, haha

btw when i say the devs were smoking that good and this game deserves to share the spotlight with the all time kusoge greats i mean it. this doesnt even mention that the final boss is a cutscene and you blow into the mic to run from battles
