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

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?
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!
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.
