Well, sure, this is terrible and all, but I'm kinda down for this crossover.

To experience a wild difference of opinion, watch Jeremy's DuckTales video, then go dig up Chrontendo's old coverage of the game (it's in episode 49).

(Jeremy's right about it, by the way.)
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., which means that today I have published my annual "this one's an all-timer" Thanksgiving Eve video retrospective. This time it's Disney's DuckTales for NES: youtu.be/nhS7pn7oXsw

I decided to pretty up the Blokees Evangelion model I put together a couple weeks ago. Specifically, by adding a bit of paint to the stark white buildings it came with.

This was my first time trying to do some real model painting, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well they turned out!

I'm always down to sit around and nerd out with Bill, my goodness.
I sound like I'm underwater (I had to chuck my podcasting equipment after my basement apartment flooded), but @whimsicalphil.bsky.social was kind enough to sit with me last night to wax nostalgic about Thanksgiving while we watched 80's Macy's Thanksgiving segments & commercials last night:

Happy anniversary to the Max Headroom incident, the greatest example of signal hijacking.

I just unlocked the Tactician in Ball x Pit, and holy cow, this game can get bonkers when it wants to.

Sure, it's a clichéd pose, but it's such a GOOD clichéd pose.

The Blokees Evangelion model ended up being more involved than I originally thought (it's not a complicated build, but there were more parts then I assumed), but the end result looks pretty darn rad.

One of the neat things about owning a 3D printer is having a really stupid idea in the middle of the night, popping online and discovering that someone else had the same stupid idea and did something about it.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

My proclivity for dumb novelty foods isn't all bizarre Oreos and soda-flavored pies. Sometimes I'll get a little 𝒻𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎.

The new Gremlins movie won't feature Murray Futterman, so what's the point, really?
