My parents were skeptical of video games so I didn't get a system until I was 12. That system was the GameBoy and this was the game that completely sucked me in.

I've already made this and have considered getting it printed into signs that I can hand out to restaurants and such to place next their existing "No Smoking/Vaping" ones.

The in-game cutscenes hold up particularly well. Each one was directed with a moving camera, which was possible because everything is rendered in-game instead of using pre-rendered backgrounds. While it's not a good looking game by today's standards, it's a really good looking PSX game.

I've been replaying Xenogears. It's sprite/polygon mixture graphically has always felt like a sweet spot for the original PlayStation. The Final Fantasy games for that console felt like they were trying to do too much with polygons and everything felt static and wooden as a result.

Every "concern" that mainstream news outlets raised as something that merited voters' attention when it came to Biden and Hillary was really just Lucy holding the football, because suddenly none of them mattered once Trump got in office.
Mainstream news media, as Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown and saying "The president should be held accountable for high inflation. Don't ya think?"

Behold this soda fountain from a central Texas sandwich chain. Who needs Pepsi or Coca-Cola when you have Dr Pepper, Big Red, and IBC Root Beer?

Mainstream media went into a tizzy of consternation when octogenarian President Biden misspoke. What are the odds the same level of consternation will ever happen whenever octogenarian President Trump misspeaks? (He even confused Putin and Zelensky just like his predecessor did!)

The football here isn't the ethical issue. It's whether a given ethical issue should concern voters. The media pointed to "unclear cognitive health" as an issue voters should be concerned with when Biden was in office and then, like Lucy, pulled it away once Trump got elected.

I found Miyazaki's version of the Torment Nexus meme.
A panel from Nausicaä where Obaba tells of how the kingdom of Eftal once prospered. Another panel from Nausicaä where Obaba explains how the kingdom of Eftal carelessly hunted and killed ohmu out of greed. Another panel from Nausicaä where Obaba tells of how the kingdom of Eftal was basically destroyed by this greed.Another panel from Nausicaä where some asshole, clearly not paying attention, declares they should create a new Eftal.

Misidentifying classes for purposes of narrative remains a pet peeve of mine. A business located in a middle class neighborhood doesn't necessarily have middle class customers. I'd wager the Times knows that.

We did the Black Friday Sunday Ticket special to catch the end of the NFL season for $40. Not only did canceling involve some extra clicks, expanding "Manage membership" revealed the actual much larger price of renewal. Also, the first "manage" button before this expand didn't even work in Safari.
