Did you know tonight’s full moon is a Supermoon - the biggest and brightest of the year? Legends say it awakens the wild within. Are you feeling the call of the night - and your inner wolf? www.facebook.com/reel/2063597...

Breakfast at Screen Door in Portland. Huckleberry cheesecake pancakes and a Sunday coffee. Yes, the coffee had booze.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇." In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.) We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

What if Stardew Valley was set in a zombie apocalypse and you had to feed one of the last surviving towns?

That hook is why I haven't stopped thinking about Grimshire since I played the demo in October. If you've ever had an interest in the farming sim genre get this immediately. #indiegames

Got a $20.00 gift card for Christmas for Steam. Thanks to Steam sale I be putting it to good use. 😁

I've seen all the Blackwell games, but can't wait to play them for myself. Strangeland just seems right up my alley.

👻The Blackwell games are in the Steam Spring Sale!👻

Join Rosa Blackwell and her spirit guide Joey Mallone as they help guide lost souls into the afterlife.

Making these games spanned eight years and they still take up a very special place in my heart.

Have you ever bought a game solely based on its name? You had never heard of it, had absolutely no idea what it was, but the name of the game was just so....... intriguing.... that you had to buy it?

My game like that is a little game on the Nintendo DS called Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ!

In honor of David Lynch (1946-2025), some quotes about how his work on Twin Peaks influenced the Zelda series.

#DavidLynch #TwinPeaks #Zelda
PEOPLE: - Kensuke Tanabe, age 35. Link’s Awakening Writer. - Takashi Tezuka, age 38. Link’s Awakening Game Director. - Yoshiaki Koizumi, age 30. Link’s Awakening Writer. QUOTE: "Tanabe: When I started [on Link’s Awakening] I was given a list of requirements by the director, Mr. Tezuka, such as no Triforce, no Princess Zelda, no Hyrule, and a closed field. ... Mr. Tezuka requested a world full of strange characters like in Twin Peaks, which was a popular show back then. I then wrote a script that fit my vision of an egg hatching on a mountaintop ending the world with Koizumi’s ‘Your dream? Or someone else’s dream?’ Koizumi worked on the main thread of the story and I did the odd characters. " PEOPLE: - Takashi Tezuka, age 49. Director of Link’s Awakening. - Eiji Aonuma, age 46. Director or Producer of various Zelda games. - Satoru Iwata, age 49. 4th President of NIntendo. QUOTE: "Tezuka: Oh, right, about Twin Peaks... Aonuma: Whoa, here we go. [laughs] Iwata-san, do you know about Twin Peaks? Iwata: No. Bring me up to speed. [laughs] Tezuka: We were talking about this before you arrived. I was talking about fashioning The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening with a feel that's somewhat like Twin Peaks. At the time, Twin Peaks was rather popular. The drama was all about a small number of characters in a small town. Iwata: Okay... Tezuka: So when it came to Link's Awakening, I wanted to make something that, while it would be small enough in scope to easily understand, it would have deep and distinctive characteristics." PEOPLE: - Mark Frost, age 70. Co-Creator and Executive Producer of Twin Peaks. QUOTE: "Q: [Interviewer asks about his meeting with Nintendo developers, who were reportedly inspired by Twin Peaks for Link’s Awakening] Frost: They were talking to me about a Twin Peaks game, and they mentioned Zelda at the time. They said, ‘One of the things we love about your show [Twin Peaks] is how there’s all sorts of sideways associations that can drive the story forward.’ They asked me about that as they were thinking about expanding the Zelda universe. ... I’d played lots of Dungeons & Dragons when I was young, so I was familiar with the kind of story they were thinking about. I think I said, ‘Don’t be afraid to use dreamlike, Jungian symbolism. Things can connect thematically without having to connect concretely.’ It was things like that that I was urging them [to consider]." PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 58. Producer of Ocarina of Time. QUOTE: "Miyamoto: I didn't want to tell a story [in Ocarina of Time] so much as I wanted to have a lot of people appear around the main character and portray their relationships. Some years back, a television show called Twin Peaks was popular. When I saw that, the most interesting thing wasn't the ins and outs of the story, but what kinds of characters appeared. … I think those suspicious and odd characters alone are interesting. I'm more interested in their presence than who is whose cousin and whose parents were sworn enemies way back when. … What's important is what role that person plays and how they contribute to portraying the main character."

One of the pro tips that shows up in Ark: Survival Evolved is "Remember, you don't have to run faster than the dinos, only faster than your friends."

This made me think of that. 😆
