accidentally percieved an ad, and (equally accidentally) misheard a lyric as "i wanna play a shmup" -- while i do NOT currently want to play a shmup (as that would be letting the ad win) i do think there should be more shmup-themed songs

pair of mississippi kites sharing a cicada

low angle shot of a pair of mississippi kites perching on a lichen-covered dead tree limb. the kite on the left is eating a cicada while the one on the right looks on -- it was shot at dusk and if you look too closely (please don't) you will see dust on my sensor

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using with no explanation.

an image of macross's lynn minmay (stolen from wikipedia) crudely collaged into a parody of silent hill 3's "minmo" poster -- background wall is taken from half-life 2 and the rest was kinda poorly drawn in an unholy combination of paint3d and paint shop pro 2019 -- text reads "Growing Strong and Healthy ....MINMAY! -- idol foods -- MINMAY"

In at least the N64 version of Turok 2, if you use the nuke on the raptoid/endtrail enemies, then throw a sunfire pod while they're frozen but before they explode, they will flash yellow and do their blinded animation for a couple second before freezing and exploding again

This PCE disc is somewhat significant in the history of dating sims in that it contains, to my knowledge, the only pre-release demo of Tokimeki Memorial, released in late 1993. It's non-playable, but runs in real time and is a fascinating look at how Konami initially marketed it. My subs below.
