One of my fave bits of fan art. Extremely 'what if Hiroshi Nagai was a fan of the Bonanza Bros'. From 1991

the Xbox had a handful of great Sega releases, but unlike some others here I have never regarded it as the Dreamcast’s rightful heir

I was born ~2 months premature at around 1lb 3ozs and had to spend the first few months of my life in the hospital
After being allowed to come home with my parents I had to wear a heart monitor vest which I would tear off multiple times a day, terrifying my parents
This is why I like Quest 64

In "Eric's Ultimate Solitaire", entering your name as "Weasel" changes every single card face into a Joker. They still retain their ranks and suits, though, so this effectively blindfolds the game.
For years I thought this was a bug. It'd literally only happen to me.

The fact that Transgender Day of Remembrance also coincides with the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution always makes me think about Amelio Robles.
He was a trans colonel who would threaten to shoot anybody who misgendered him, and that's one of the most badass things I've heard.
