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

If my phone could project force fields and punch people with light I'd probably still forget the charger in my motel room, but at least I know I'd be a shitty space cop.

On one hand I'm sort of flattered when someone assumes I'm a youngster. On the other, I did not encamp on this bitch of an Earth for forty-eight of its fucking orbits to be called "kid."

Dreamed I went back to my childhood home and they'd replaced me with PenPen. Like, the door to my room opens and this fucker steps out and that goofy domestic music starts playing. They were all so much happier.

Is there a health benefit to just drinking a jar of olive brine? Imma do anyway but it'd be nice to feel smug about it on account of I found an article about how it cures cancer in mice or some shit.

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...

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

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.

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

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.

Before Portal, there was, well, Portal. Activision's 1986 'computer novel' is one of the examples of the kind of entertainment software being developed for the Commodore Amiga in its first year. High concept, artsy, and tapping into the creativity-focused marketing for the computer.

For years I was suffering from a debilitating condition called Sleep Related Painful Erections. I may look happy in this picture, but I was in living hell. Content warning: I get into graphic medical detail, and discuss suicidal thoughts. (Reposted with better header) medium.com/@jameseldred...

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 one drives me battier than is truly justifiable because: (okay yes that sure is a mixely type teatment platform mismatch but) in THIS particular game NOT ONLY are you LITERALLY police, one of the three action buttons is a dedicated "police help you" functionality

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.

This is now a The New Monkees 30th anniversary countdown account. Only five months until the 30th anniversary of The New Monkees!

You are trying to make friends. Roll 1d4, your new acquaintance has decided that you are a 1: vampire 2: witch 3: robot 4: egg They cannot be dissuaded from this conviction.

Looking forward to the default JRPG post apocalyptic future where we're fighting each other with swords and matchlocks and shit while collecting DVDs you need to bring to an apparent fuckin wizard who is like holy shit, have you not seen Mean Girls? Hang on I just need to find the right cable.

*explaining to the kids* "I'm older than chicken nuggets." *eyes glowing, rising upward* "I am older than Happy Meals" *lightning arcs while funnel clouds form in the sky* "I AM OLDER THAN RANCH DRESSING"

If you change your haircut I will not recognize you. Meanwhile if someone is wearing five pounds of star trek makeup I'm like "holy shit that's Iggy Pop." I'm either very specifically faceblind or just racist against humans.

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.

Put me back in the matrix. I want to be a mediocre white guy in the 90s who is bored with his safe life at the end of history and wishes he could fight in a mythologized war of ideas. Or a just war against fascists. You know, like his parents and grandparents. But without actually having to do that.

When I disabled all the AI shit in gmail it unceremoniously dumped about thirty thousand bits of junk mail from my spam folder to my inbox. Which is breathtakingly petty, sure, but I finally unsubscribed from a bunch of shit and cancelled services I forgot about so joke's on you, fuckers.

"What a fool you are. I'm a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy." *Stabs heart*
