Aaron George @asmoranomardic.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Here's a thread for all of my Megaman replays, as I get ready for Megaman 12 (It's 12, Capcom needs to stop lying). I used to play these games a lot about ten years ago, but it's been awhile since I went through them. I'm excited to do them again! 130

With its roomy cabin and rear entertainment system for the kids, the minivan foregrounds concerns that only arose with the American nuclear family and say nothing about the brutality that underlay the Bronze Age. 261897385

Aaron George @asmoranomardic.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Remember ten years ago when it came out that David Cameron had put his cock in a dead pig’s mouth, and every rich person in the UK came to his defense and basically said “Who hasn’t done something like that while in college?” They didn’t realize how that revealed about more them than they thought. 152

Aaron George @asmoranomardic.bsky.social · 03/12/2025It occurred to me that in Pokemon Red/Green, the designers purposefully designed the "best" moves of the Fire/Grass/Water trio to be a different mode of damage, to make each type feel a bit different. Hydro Pump is one turn but can miss, Solarbeam takes two turns, and Fire Spin is a multi-hit move. 1121
Aaron George @asmoranomardic.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Working on the next Cryptodex article, and I've run into an interesting mystery. In a file from March 25, Azurill's flavor text mentions Luvdisc. However, Luvdisc doesn't exist yet at that point in development! There's no Pokedex info, and the Planning List just has ?????? for it's name. Any ideas? 390
