Once I dreamed that Tom Servo was a boss in Mega Man 4 and had gum inside of him. Think about it.

Okay. Picture this: a music video comprised of Popeye and Bluto clips. The song is "Two Princes."

Are you picturing it?

Now, here's where the magic happens.

The band's called the Spinch Doctors.

Looking at the Wikipedia page for Kris Kross's "Jump." Do we pay music journalists too much, or just enough?

This could be your lover. This could be you. A broken hackeysack. A bond beyond time.

I might be making the ultimate dating sim.

Not all dating sims let you eat spaghetti, meatballs AND unlimited breadsticks all in one date. Now GAY IT LOUD joins the pantheon.

I understand that showing fake, in-universe mascots is a weird way to promote your game, but I'll have pics of the romantic leads later! For now, here's Argo the Totally Original Seahorse!!

I wouldn't say my desktop is "aggressively aesthetic" but maybe it's just close enough to be concerning.

This might be the most important blog post you read all month, but it probably won't be.

Speaking of 00/10s anime memories: is it true that in Naruto Abridged, Gaara tells Naruto "I made you a cookie but I eated it," or is that a phantom memory my mind made up?

Every time I think I'm doing OK modelling simple shapes in Blender, I come across something that for whatever reason my brain can't wrap itself around...like a cartoon sneaker. I dunno how to make this look better. I don't even know what I did
