last weekend i played maybe the best couch co-op game i’ve ever played? it was The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, which you play on 4 Game Boy Advances super clever game design using one big screen plus 4 small screens. highly recommend if you’re a sicko with 3 friends and 4 GBAs

First, you create your face, expressing a specific emotion... Then, other players have to figure out which emotion you're expressing

a review for Glace NY: “My friend had been constipated for 5 DAYS and the frozen glace was the only thing that could get her to Go. Thank you.”

i saw this poster that was written in korean and i could just tell it was going to be spicy so i pulled out google translate, and it was indeed worth it

a google translate screenshot of a poster on the street with a picture of a couple, and translated text that says “couple scammers who stole money, you bastards”

playing these silly dating sims is all fun and games until you read the reviews

steam review that says "i just realized how lonely i really am after playing this, anxiety and depression have been keeping me away from socializing and this game made me feel loved in some way that i will never experience in my life
i even wrote my will after my first session, it's complicated feelings, but it's definitely more personalized parasocial experience
ending the game feels like breaking up again and again
hope no one is in my similar situation and if you are, please be careful about your mental wellness before playing"

on crete @chrysaora.bsky.social and i visited an olive oil farm, were warned that we shouldn’t eat the olives raw because the taste is too “spicy” so of course we did anyway and now days later my teeth are still stained
