Sharkey is a fictional character. Cautionary example that assholes might mistake for cool. Did not not invent the word "Metroidvania."

We need more ppl who'd be like "that's so evil it's gorgeous!" And then immediately kill the fuckin thing.

It's like we're living in a social experiment designed to produce a whole generation of motherfuckers that would lock you in a room with a facehugger.

Nothing like whacking your head on a doorframe to remind you that your brain is just three pounds of jello with delusions of grandeur.

Also there was a whole month in the 80s where it was mandatory to have a frontman that looked like Egon Spengler (cartoon version.)

m.youtube.com/watch?v=8DfT... Speaking of 80s Trent I'm always tickled stupid by the new wave band he was in for a minute, and how he's just in the back on keyboards looking completely unchanged like when they badly photoshop doctor who into photos of the Hindenburg crash or whatever.

I've always been faceblind as fuck, to the point I apparently conflated William Shatner with Ron Glass. Anyway, it was the one where Kirk bangs his head and thinks he's an Indian, and from TV listings this must have happened on December 13th 1985.

When I was a kid I fell asleep in the middle of a star trek rerun and woke up in the middle of an 80s twilight zone, so for years I thought there was an ep of star trek where Captain Kirk fell down a well and turned into the devil. m.youtube.com/watch?v=BoQ6...

This was a blast to do again. Only struggled a little to remember how to talk to other human beings like a normal person.

Nobody listens to me babbling about AI and 9/11 or whatever until I go on a spree of assassinations like an eight year old Sarah Connor.

The C64 version is giving me a sense of temporal vertigo. Cursed artifact that's gonna snap me back to 1986. The last forty years can't be allowed to happen.
A futuristic Commodore 64 web browser is like, "Limited AI will assess your needs and provide individual databases with information the AI feels is most important.

This one always bugs my shit right out on account of Final Fight is *right there.* It has exactly one cop, and he's a corrupt piece of shit that tries to shoot you.

This week forty years ago we were blessed with episode 2 of The New Monkees, wherein Marty fell asleep on a copy machine. Numerous duplicate Martys were set loose in the mansion. Wackiness ensued. There were no survivors.

Yup, Chlorox bought it from the guy in 1972 but they didn't develop a pre-mixed non-refrigerated version until 1983. Before that it was a packet you mixed with buttermilk. Wasn't on Doritos until 1987.

I think maybe facial appliances make it easier to zero in on specific features. When everything else is covered in rubber nonsense you can just pick out eyes or a chin or a voice and 90% of the time it's Jeffrey Combs anyway.
