The thing I really like about everything I've seen wrt Smiling Friends is that it would be so easy to half-ass something like this and make something that vaguely feels like its inspiration, but actually going and hiring someone who intimately knows the style you want is so nice to see
AAAA WOW this is my first TV credit! Thank you to Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, and Aron Fromm for inviting me on this amazing show to design SQUIM! 🤗
I've always had a passion for designing characters for fun ever since I was a kid! It truly meant a lot to contribute a character to Smiling Friends!

I'm gonna be flying back on the night of TGA and honestly scrolling through the thread of reveals and watching the fallout feels way more entertaining than spending 3 hours watching it anyways

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"
My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Compare that to basically every Metroidvania since the first Metroid, where "missing a save room" is a mistake every player makes *exactly once*. After that you become more methodical in checking rooms, and eventually develop a feel for "I think there was probably a save room back there I missed"

Consider the example in that Metroid article that's making the rounds. Having a voice tell you "hey, I think you might've missed something" when you bypass a save room doesn't teach the player to look out for save rooms. It teaches them to listen for instructions.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers the series' trademark gameplay in spades, but I fear one very annoying addition might derail the whole thing
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has plenty of the good stuff. It also has an incredibly annoying, incredibly un-Metroid sidekick who won't shut up.

The fact that the only official artwork of Pneuma comes from Smash Ultimate is still really funny to me

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

Oh my god, if you hover over a playlist it autoplays the first video and adds it to your history too
How does this feature genuinely somehow keep getting worse I'm losing my mind
How does this feature genuinely somehow keep getting worse I'm losing my mind
It's actually even worse because the area of the screen that starts autoplaying a video also covers the option to open the menu, so I can't save a video to watch later without YouTube thinking I've already seen it, which means I have to curate my watch history whenever I want to save a video
Oh YouTube changed again so now anytime you hover over a video for a SECOND and it starts autoplaying at ALL it gets added to your watch history
Oh this SUCKS

lots of people celebrating this as if the end of Funko doesn't mean that landfills would lose their primary source of sustenance
Funko admits “substantial doubt” it can continue as a going concern amid crashing sales and mounting debt.
The Pop! maker warns of potential loan defaults without fresh funding or a buyout, after a 14% sales drop and $250M in obligations.

A little over a month ago, I was getting roadside burgers with my friend on the way back from his cottage talking about how it still felt like summer
Today it just snowed for the first time this year
