I think Dracula could defeat Frankenstein but I don’t think Count Chocula could defeat Frankenberry and that speaks to the richness of the characters

This is a 100% do not miss panel at PRGE! First-hand account of the lead up to and launch of the NES in the US from a small and scrappy team when nobody knew about Nintendo. So proud of the work that @frankcifaldi.bsky.social has done to bring our panelists together today!

Happy Saturday
Start your weekend off right

The meme says Rethink your Weekend

On the left is fried food and beer, which is 1500 calories

On the right is Quest 64 and codeine, which is 70 calories

Having both is also good

One thing a lot of my friends missed from other social media platforms was interacting with venerable Japanese game devs. To that end I've made a list of folks I know are here, focusing on devs whose games you will have heard of. Please share and tell me who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

My most recent KISS experience is playing Detroit Rock City in Rock Band and having a good time doing so. That's about the level of engagement I want.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Chase: "And are you married?"
Batman: "I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle."

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

I'm in a bunch of Discord servers but only actively in, like, three. There is a qualitative, and quantitative, gamut for sure.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Screenshot from Windows Settings>Privacy and Security>Text and image Generation.
