In Mario's Early Years: Fun with Numbers for the SNES, there is an Easter egg where three photorealistic developer heads will appear on Mario's windowsill and chant "Hello, hello, hello" if one very specific pixel of the screen is clicked.

I rewatched the Matrix the other night - fantastic film with a really great script. Then watched Matrix Reloaded. That has to be one of the biggest misfires in film history, right?

it is funny how all the fictional monsters we imagined taking over the U.S. for the last 30 years are objectively better people than the current regime. Give me Skeletor, please. Cobra Commander wants to run shit? He can hardly be worse than what we're rockin' today. It's worth a shot!

WITHIN THE KIND RED BUILDING is a solo journaling rpg I wrote that’s now up to buy!
You crash land on an isolated planet and seek safety within a tower.
Roll a d8 to go up/down floors, explore, fight, maybe survive, and create a character who breaks your heart.
