Have you ever seen that meme where people write increasingly eldritch lyrics to Jolene?

Someone recorded a version like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj_Q6VhX6l8

When when you play enough bard, you realize you can be a paladin of a fertility goddess and it comes full circle.

Good god, the amount of both dairy and booze Santa is consuming in one night is a terrifying combo. The fumes on Boxing Day must be enough to knock out one of the reindeer at 50 paces.

“…and that’s the justification for why I’m gonna go grief-bang your Aunt Robin now that Mom’s dead.”

Maximo

Fuuuuck, I haven’t thought about Maximo in years. That, Dark Cloud, and MediEvil are probably highest on my “It’s been 20 years, where the hell is my third game?” list.

Nethack maybe? It’s been updated over the years, but it’s still largely the game that released in '87.

I’m also playing Might and Magic 6 [98] right now, and remembering why I liked 7 so much more. Planning a playthrough of World of Xeen [93/94] soon too.

Romantically? I don’t suppose that there’s much choice to falling in love. But continuing to love someone once the honeymoon glow wears off, and it’s not always as happy and easy? I think that is, to some degree, a choice you make.

Reminds me of Alan Dean Foster’s Spellsinger. Though in that one, the lines Jon-Tom sings when he’s hoping for one effect might trigger something entirely different based on another interpretation of the lyrics.

Report: Novel Disease Outbreak Following Death of Burning Man Performer

So it’s a full-game escort mission like Ico? I don’t know if that gameplay will be for me, but it looks gorgeous. Definitely worth looking into when there’s more play footage to see.

I feel like for a lot of us, the 24 hour day does not align with our natural rhythm. Since working from home for a few years, I found that a 26-hour day fits better for me. I’d fit in great on DS9.

I’ve never been sure what the exact distinction is between disco and funk, nor which side it falls on, but I love Walter Murphy’s “A Fifth of Beethoven”.

His parents were just massive fans of Klinger from MASH.

If Sugar Rush looked as good as it does in Wreck-It Ralph, I think it’d be a fantastic kart racer.

Also Roy from Rick and Morty. Holy shit, a game that could compress time would be fucking insane, even as mundane as it is.

If you can find all the pieces, have you heard of kintsugi?

If not, it’s a Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, creating something new and beautiful out of the destruction as the cracks become gold veins running through the piece.

Maybe you could find a craftsman or at least experienced hobbyist in your area who could repair it like that?

Bot’s broken.

I don’t play many Android games, and enjoy even fewer, but Hoplite is great. It’s pretty simple to play but still requires some thinking, which is what I want out of a mobile game.

This meeting could have been an astral projection.

Nationeering?

Trying to unstick my fingers when I’m done:
