So Masato Kato, script writer and story planner on Crono Trigger, is involved in a new game, Another Eden Begins. It has time travel, multiple endings, and this guy, who is named Cyrus, the same name as Glenn (Frog's) friend in Crono Trigger. There is no 🤔 large enough for how I feel about this.

A character who looks like Frog, from Crono Trigger

From "Hidden Pictures" by Rekulak

A passage from a book with the phrase "As a gift to myself, I open a subscription to the Hallmark Channel so I can stream unlimited romances for $5.99 a month, and they're the perfect way to unwind at the end of the night"

"Hold up, the machine you were raging against... was conservatism??? I thought we were cool bro!"

Tom Morello reacts to Paul Ryan citing Rage as his favorite band.

"Paul Ryan’s love of Rage Against the Machine is amusing, because he is the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades.

Don't mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta "rage" in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he's not raging against is the privileged elite he's groveling in front of for campaign contributions."

Xandiloquence Bizarre the Ab3rd has shown me that there is no way the earth is made of cucumber, because it simply lacks the structural integrity.

A odd but welcome problem to have

The two button decision meme, the buttons are labelled "Mariachi Legends" and "Pony Island 2", the man deciding is labelled "Me on April 27, 2027 deciding what to play first"

Used to run this with Sedge Troll when Destroy and Bury were separate things. Also fun fact: If you have a Darksteel Forge, you can use this every turn for the rest of the game, because it doesn't require you to sacrifice it.

The autistic kids always existed, it's just if you go back far enough they ended out being shepherds and the like. Even further back you might have something like this...

Thrasyllos from the deme Aiksône endured an incredible and novel madness. For he left the city and went to the Peiraia and stayed there. He believed that all the ships that sailed in were his and he wrote down their names, checked the list when they left and rejoiced when they returned safely to the harbor again. He spent many years living with this sickness. When his brother returned from Sicily, he took him to a doctor for treatment and he freed him from that sickness. But he often remembered the avocation of his sickness and used to say that he was never as happy as when he took pleasure at the sight of ships that weren’t his returning safely.

And the absolute stinker Unicorn Overlord, which was famously so woke it absolutely ruined the company

A section from the Unicorn Overlord wikipedia page under the header 'Sales'

"Unicorn Overlord was in high demand in Japan, with retailers running short of physical copies during its week of release, selling over 74,000 copies across Switch and PlayStation platforms. In the United Kingdom, the game entered the top ten best-selling titles of the week, with most of its sales being for the Switch. In less than a month, physical shipments and digital sales had reached 500,000 copies worldwide, and reached one million by September."

Puzzle Compound and RV There Yet for me and the homies to play. If you have a coop buddy who also likes to big brain things, stuff like Escape Room Simulator (And its sequel.), and the We Were Here series are great and not too pricy at present.

Today I learned: Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation was a mouse controlled Street Fighter game played online. Barack Obama was a playable character. The game isn't canon though, so Barack Obama is not canon to the Street Fighter universe.

While Mouse Generation can arguably be considered a Street Fighter game (as the name would suggest), it is actually a crossover game (like X-Men vs. Street Fighter or Street Fighter X Tekken), and as such it is not canon to the Street Fighter universe.

Barack Obama – A caricature of the United States president Barack Obama was made as Valentine's Day DLC for the game. He could perform several of Ryu's special moves, but always had a floating rectangular speech bubble follow him around. This fictionalised version of Barack Obama doesn't have any specific origin, so he was the second original character created for Street Fighter Online after Shin.

In b4 complaints about the two party system, which is a whole 'nother rant.

Y'all thought they was playin', they were not. To wit: Baki Rahen, Chapter 39

Panel 1- Yujiro says "If you two idiots're just gonna keep doing whatever you want like this, then...

Panel 2- Yujiro has his hands on top of Elom (Who is legally distinct from Elon Musk) and Trunp (Who is legally distinct from Donald Trump.) and says "Call your security in, too. 'More the merrier"

*Me pulling out the Air Bud rulebook* "Ain't no rules says a pencil can't be governor!"

Pencil's prospects- To state the obvious, Pencil will not be Oregon's next governor. The state's constitution contains no provision that allows an anthropomorphized object to hold the role of chief executive.

Finished off Capek's Absolute at Large, enjoyable bit of super early scifi. This is next on the agenda. I liked most of Moores short story collection Illuminations (The comics industry one felt a lil long and fart sniffy but whatev.) as well as his comic works, so I'm hopeful.
