A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

Hey, happy 30th birthday GameFAQs! Launched on November 5th, 1995!

The earliest scrape I can find on Wayback is December 1996, but I doubt the site changed much. But yes, here it is in its earliest days as the Video Game FAQ Archive!

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

The School Paper (Part 3) - Gator Days
The School Paper (Part 3) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher and Liam are hanging out in Liam's room. Liam is laying on his bed because he's stressed. Stressed because Miss Horsehill asked him if he would consider writing for the school paper. He's thinking it over very carefully. Perhaps too carefully. It's consuming his every thought. Liam's little sister, Ember, is sipping on a juice box next to Liam's bed. This juice box will keep her wrath contained, for now. Liam: I love writing. And I like it when people read my writing. Panel 2 Liam continues staring at the ceiling as he voices his true concerns to Gustopher. Ember's going to town on the juice box. It's good stuff. Liam: But my feelings get hurt easily. I'm scared people might hate my work. Panel 3 Gustopher does his best to help Liam move his thoughts in a positive direction. Ember is preparing to speak as she notices that her juice box is about to run dry. She'll surely have grand pearls of wisdom to share with her older brother. Gustopher: Yeah, but there's also people who might love it. Sometimes you just have to take risks. Panel 4 Ember shall no longer be silenced. She has the obvious answer to this whole problem. Ember: AND I'LL BITE ANYONE WHO HATES IT! Liam: Ember, no. Ember: A SMALL BITE!

very amused that to some folks this meme is my greatest contribution to game design
A meme with the caption "when a job posting asks for a 'narrative designer'". The meme shows the pokemon Eevee in the middle labeled as "narrative designer" with the various evolutions of Eevee being labeled with the litany of tasks and specializations a narrative designer could be expected to do or cover.

Comic titled "How I Imagine Chess Pieces Move" Panel 1: Titled "Pawn". A humanized white pawn on a chess board, his helmet crowned with a metal ball, runs forward swinging his sword a bit in front of him and to the side. Panel 2: Titled "Knight". A dark purple horse with a dark blue mane leaps happily from one white spot on the chess board to a black spot. Panel 3: Titled "Bishop". A humanized black bishop on a chess board is down on one knee, aiming a sniper rifle among the diagonal. A closeup of the muzzle of the sniper rifled reveals that he himself, the bishop, is also loaded into it as a bullet. Panel 4: Titled "Roo (too shakily written, crossed out) Roo (too shakily written again, crossed out) BRO FUCK (shakily written)". A rook piece, represented by a tower cuts along a straight line through the board, shaking the whole board (and in fact, the whole panel) in the process and carving out a deep hole. There are bits of the board flying everywhere. The tower has a tiny content face on it as it causes this destruction.

Rewatching let's play of Deltarune chapter 3 and 4, it is still amaze me how much of a one-two punch Toby Fox and his team pulled with those chapters.

The most fun, dynamic and hilarious chapter, ending on the biggest cliffhanger yet, only to have the most real, gutwrenching chapter right after
