Oh, I only did a little bit of behind the scenes research. LL was very much Frank's baby. (I.... might have also wrote the article for Pescatore... I am so sorry.)

"Community"? Lol, I haven't been a part of any real retrogaming community in eons. Before I was too much of an obnoxious drunk for anyone to stand, now I'm too busy doing other stuff to worry about the community, or scared off most folks.

Preexisting colleagues in my case (I was a Lost Levels volunteer/contributor), but even that's a small net. I have to branch out, especially when it comes to FPGA shit.

They still out of wild blueberries at your Costco, Frank? Asking every costco member I know, I'm legitimately concerned about the blueberries, in a non-billboard meme way.

LMFAO holy shit are your for real? She actually WAS WAY better at one point, but that's not saying much. Most of her old content was benign retrogaming topics. Then one day she dropped a video basically her flat out admitting she only gave a shit about views, and not content or her user base.

Doesn't matter who dies. MCU has been playing by Mortal Kombat rules for years; death is just a minor inconvenience until the next entry. ...unless their actor gets too burnt out by Disney to come back.

Oh, she ended up getting cancelled ages ago when she ended up getting sued for using someone else's work (which she was clearly guilty), then begging for money to viewers in front of a wall of retrogames/consoles worth way more than she needed. Plus her and her husband are narcissistic douchebags.

Yeah, the shilling for dogshit recomp projects wasn't the reason I slapped a big "DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CHANNEL" on Video Game Esoterica. Enjoy the fucking losers table with Lady Decade and GameSack.

If you think Holden Caulfield was insufferable before, someone is going to want his AI to host a podcast... and we're going to understand perfectly well just why Salinger disconnected from his creation.

If they made Key & Peele today, they'd put the bussy on the chainwax. ... Stop booing me, I workshopped that one all night. ... Y'aaaaall! ☹️

LRP, that's not the only red panda she's done. We have one on our living room wall that is technically for sale on the site. But we kind of hope no one buys it. It means we'd have to rearrange the other paintings on that wall. 😅

A red panda is wearing a feathered hard and copper goggles. He's got his tongue out.

Doing more work on the Monopoly knock-off. With the altered rule set I put in place, the Pennsylvania Ave. stand-in is probably secretly the most valuable property based on my play testing. That's to say nothing about the optional "Arfenhouse Rule"...

Game board spaces, from order from top to bottom:
- a envelope with a fish hook stuck in it with the caption "Underhanded Tactics"
- A property space with a jade green sash with the text "BUCKINGHAM GREEN ₿320"
- Cut-off is a Metro Rail icon colored gold priced at "₿200"

I see myself as a basic bitch Super Famicom player that eventually gets a used Duo and sinks his teeth into some subpar non-Falcom RPGs and fanservicey pulp. But I'd hunt down as many Ultrabox issues as I could fine.

I want SO MUCH DOUCHEBAGGERY to be career ending, including the T-slur, the F-slur, misogyny, ageism, ableism... ...yet someone keeps giving my grifter ex-boss' fail-company work.

If the midterms go to shit, blame these subhuman Nazi pedophile pieces of shit and all their grifter friends.

So CSAM Altman, Soulpatch 64, and a mf I thought died back in 2018? This is going to be a shitshow of epic proportions.

I thought it was called "You're Under Arrest!" in Japan, too! (I've never watched it) I'm guilty of this. I still call Boys Over Flowers(?) "Hana Yori Dango" because that's how I know it; I had watched/read it well before it got localized, and fansubbers rarely retitle the series itself.

Because one person demanded it! A bsky exclusive video! As far as I can tell, Alice in Flagland is the first hip-hop song in video games. Here's the song in its entirety! youtu.be/06WdayRfqjE

It why I don't touch the newer arcade cores. I know Jotego didn't vibecode The Simpsons or any of the CPS cores, so I'm good with what I've got.

Gonna wair for this to be uploaded in full to YouTube so I can jam to this while I drive.

I apparently slept through this bullshit.

I'm not reading anyone's Substack (what the hell is wrong with you, get off Substack!), but Nader didn't become a pariah until he ran against Obama and called him an "Uncle Tom". Before that, most folks just blamed the Republicans for rigging the election in the first place.

What's this? A college town standing up to its college?! Athens, you could learn a thing or two from Ithaca cause UGA has y'all whipped. (They ain't even Ivy league like Cornell!)

Look, I can't always remember their localized names. That shit has been "Fushigi Yugi" and "Hana Yori Dango" to me because I still don't have that many people in my life who watched those two after they were localized to bother correcting myself.

Well, just P5 fans. I'll fw P3 fans.

Ugh, it looked like Bsky ate my original comment.

000

Yeah. It starts off promising, and adds a few new characters, like a real rival for Parker. But then it focuses away from Parker almost entirely, and starts to hyper-focus on the annoying loser gym teacher/diner owner played by John Pinette. All of sudden, it's not even "Parker Louis", it's "HANK!"

Well, I went to school in bumfuck rural Georgia. They romanticized that shit and dumped their weird slavery fetish on us.

Horrible mistakes I wish I could go back in time to prevent: - The holocaust - The Vietnam War - 9/11 - 11/9 - Parker Louis Can't Lose Season 3

Why did Kabuki: Quantum Fighter and Musya: The Classic Tale of Japanese Horror not make the list!?

But the theme song is so much spookier when the audio is just a bit distorted!

I get the impression MM6 was meant as an obligatory send-off to the Famicom games made on the cheap. The only reason Nintendo published it North America at all was to promote the top loader NES. Even Capcom was too focused on the SNES to care, as they already dropped the first MMX game in America.

I liked that little touch, myself.

000

Part of me likes the idea of being able to "mug" enemies, but if you're already killing them... what's to stop me from searching the corpse for that Genji Glove?

I remember beating MM5 when I rented it. MM4 was the one that kicked the crap out of me as a kid. (And to this day, I still can't get into MM6.)

Going to file "worshiping" in the same category as pronouncing "gif" with a soft "G"... I call it the "Shit That I Refuse to Acknowledge as Real" section.

Okay, having run my MiSTer on my 4k monitor in lieu of my CRT via RGB for about a week now... I, too, am going to have to block this dumbfuck for their dogshit tastes.
