you arent a burden. you are a human being with wants and needs. having desires does not make you selfish. unless you are sonic, in which case you are not human and everything you do sickens me.

It seems like Coolio is cool with him at this point. www.vice.com/en/article/a...

An excerpt from Dan Ozzi's 2014 Vice interview with Coolio. Link in the post.

Ozzi: "When I asked people what I should ask Coolio, the most common question I got, the thing most people seem to want to know: Do you still have beef with Weird Al?"
Coolio: "Fuck no, man, I let that go so long ago. Let me say this: I apologized to Weird Al a long time ago and I was wrong. Y’all remember that, everybody out there who reads this shit. Real men and real people should be able to admit when they’re wrong and I was wrong, bro. Come on, who the fuck am I, bro? He did parodies of Michael Jackson, he did parodies of all kinds of people and I took offense to it because I was being cocky and shit and being stupid and I was wrong and I should’ve embraced that shit and went with it. I listened to it a couple years after that and it’s actually funny as shit. It’s one of those things where I made a wrong call and nobody stopped me. That’s one thing I’m still upset about—my management at the time. Somebody should’ve stopped me from making that statement because it was dumb. And I think it hurt me a little bit. It made me seem stupid."

One of the things that really made machines and physics click for me as a kid was playing Gizmos & Gadgets on one of the school PCs. The Super Solvers games in general really resonated with me.

I like them for what I use them for, which is a quick, throw-it-down-and forget it home for someone I need moved to have someone else spawn from their habitat or crank up my Environment Level to unlock something I want/progress the story.

Since I haven't seen them mentioned, the Blossom Tales games (The Sleeping King and The Minotaur Prince) are both quite good and remind me of LttP/LA. And since you didn't specify WHICH 2D Zelda, I have to include Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, which is a huge love letter to the CDi games.

As for my experience, I ignored the 3DS launch lineup at he time. My launch-era Phat DS was wearing out, and I remembered that finding a DS could get tricky early on despite its own rocky launch, so I bought it Day 1 to wait for OoT 3D and Mario 3D Land. Hindsight hurts sometimes.

Portalbeard @portalbeard.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

With those launch 3DS titles being the start of Nintendo's base handheld game price point going up to $40 USD, the perceived value versus the flight mode being 1/12th of a $50 game with a peripheral that launched years before was an uphill battle Resort didn't manage to overcome.

Portalbeard @portalbeard.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

I think part of what ate into any push Resort could have gotten was making it a pseudo-sequel to Wii Sports Resort instead of keeping it a separate IP.

Any indie devs in/near the Midwest who want to promote or show off their game(s), OMG!con (June 12-14 2026, Owensboro KY) has some tables available. We'll provide the table, an HDMI enabled TV and electricity. If you are interested or know someone who might be, please let me know! #indiedev #omgcon

Mainly webcomics like Questionable Content, Order of the Stick, Megatokyo, and Penny Arcade. Newgrounds and FARK are websites I've used that long, but they are more stuff aggregators than sites making stuff themselves for the most part.

Handheld games generally being half the cost of console games also helped prices reasonable, as cheaper to produce, smaller scope games could be targeted for those.

Since I loaded in inside the cave, the first thing I heard was the stressful Bow-Wow Kidnapping music and dialogue of one of the Moblins threatening to "get ridda" me. Tame by most standards, but it scared the pants off of Tiny Me and left a lasting impression.

When I was a kid, I borrowed a copy of Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening from a neighbor. After wandering around in my own save, I got curious and loaded up their sister's save - which happened to be parked inside the Moblin Cave. youtu.be/Iw2RekiB1PU?...
