News so big an artwork was needed to celebrate it. As of last night, the tomboy leporine #MargoHynde officially has a voice actress. You will hear her speak for the first time in my Arcade-ological Discoveries video on 'Roll Away'… #OTOG

Cesar (JIMENOPOLIX) suggested I reword my review, as my wording made it sound like DreamWorks made Emperor's New Groove. Which obviously I know they didn't. Here's the revised paragraph.

Yep, I’m making it official. As of this artwork, Margo officially has rosy cheeks like Gilda. More muted a flush than Gilda’s, but still noticeable. And speaking of which, Gilda’s here to bring the glow to the tomboy leporine’s face! #OTOG #GildaGrime #MargoHynde

Managed to sneak in one last #RetroAchievements mastery for 2025, the Japanese version of Spyro the Dragon. Yes, I that badly wanted to master the Spyro trilogy again, so badly I played the butchered Japanese version, which has its own set separate from the Western release. 🧵

Many of the people listed were already dead by the time he wrote it, and the mentions of some of said people, such as Albert Einstein and James Dean, are specifically in reference to their deaths.
I’m sure OP is joking, but the People article I can’t tell if it’s clickbait.

Just want to remind people that James Rolfe made a video of himself and some friends eating the pizzas from the original 1987 series. It's one of the best non-Nerd videos from him.

Hey, Netflix! Give this a physical release, you cowards! Or at the very least let Criterion add it to their lineup!
30 minutes in to Klaus and really enjoying it. How did I not hear about this film til now, yet it came out back in 2019!

I don't really like the old-fashioned rebuffs that older generations are known for, but I will make an exception for the 'jumping off a cliff' one if anyone comes to me saying 'everybody else uses ChatGPT/Midjourney/whatever else'.

I might just give MLPFIM's 'Inspiration Manifestation' its own review outside of my ranking series, because holy 🦭, this episode is so ahead of its time. It's essentially calling out genAI almost a decade before genAI was even a thing. 🧵

I was part of a Secret Santa exchange in EpicFrick’s Discord server, where we drew each other’s requested characters. I submitted #WendyWyler, and Tricky was assigned to draw her. 🧵

When the new guys take over a media company, animation is always the first to take a hit. I’d tell David Ellison to go fuck himself, but he probably already does to the misshapen-eyed, six-fingered, creepy-toothed women AI hallucinates.
I'm very disappointed to hear of Paramount's decision to pull The Legend of Aang from theaters and make it a Paramount+ exclusive. I can imagine how dismaying it must've been for the crew of the film and I am disgusted at the execs at Paramount for doing this. Shame on them.

This game is presented as if it’s boring, but honestly, at the time this episode aired, a game that had this much speech in it would be seen as impressive and groundbreaking, especially if it was on a cartridge.

I almost gave last place to Ireland's entry; the way the singer pronounces 'friend' sounds ridiculous. 'Frah-end'. But in the end, Portugal's entry had the worse composition, so it lost the hardest with me.

Best of Eurovision 1998: "Aava" (Finland). Minimalistic lyrics utilized to great effect with an atmospheric-sounding track.
Worst of Eurovision 1998: "Se eu te pudesse abraçar" (Portugal). Haphazardly composed; feels like everyone's performing a different song.

Woah! Feels good to sneak in #RetroAchievements mastery number 17 right before Christmas. Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure is a short, occasionally janky, but overall fun portable spinoff of the beloved platformer series, with an RA set that can be described the same way. 🧵
