You probably know me from the VGM scene (I run the team that runs @ocremix.org), but On Here I’m rediscovering Bollywood movies and music. Partial to the 90s/00s era.
One thing I’ve realized about Bluesky is that it’s hard to get an answer to a question here. On old Twitter generally you could ask something and someone would give you a correct answer. Here, no such luck. It just drifts away into the aether.

The more I read about all these Half-Life 3 predictions, the more it feels like a bunch of delusional fundamentalists predicting the Rapture.

Anyone know if this is a full, narratorless audio play?

By far the worst thing about the resist-grift bots on here is the constant posting of EXTREMELY BANAL AND UNSUBTLE NEWSPAPER POLITICAL CARTOONS.

There’s a special kind of tedium that only [guy whose entire personality is “beer”] can invoke.

Voting should not be something you have register to do. Voting should be something you’re legally required to do. It should be incredibly easy to vote and against the law to not do so. It should also be constitutionally protected; no disenfranchisement under any circumstance.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Would be wild to see a set of romhacks that redo all of the sprites consistently for each style.
Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.

There's a new one making the rounds. Get it right:
- illicit: not permitted, forbidden, illegal
- elicit: draw out, coax, extract

When you ask a genuine question on here and people don’t answer you they just Like your post.

Catching some of these insane emails, I can only think of @johnrogers.bsky.social’s ever-true “There are no Moriartys.”

Somebody call the Hyrule Historia folks. They’ll sort it out for sure.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Finished up some poster ideas today during stream! The first one from #Metroid and the second from #Kirby! I had a lot of fun exploring different styles with these and hope to have them on a print shop soon

If I hear one more person utter the words “extended universe” instead of “expanded universe” I will fucking pick them up and throw them in the trashcan MYSELF.

Does playing Zelda: Age of Calamity on a Switch 2 improve the game's performance at all? It really chugged on the original Switch.

Extremely disappointed that I am not related to this rep who shares my last name. Could have claimed a very cool and smart cousin. Bummer.

Also you can’t change her mind because she’s right.
I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Change my mind.

Did anyone ever make a Nanaca Crash clone? They ported the original to mobile for a hot minute but OS updates made it unplayable.

Finally beat up Prometheus last night. Crutching hard on Ygnium omega-turret builds. #hades2

I was reading some stuff about the NJ gov candidates last night and the one thing that stuck out to be was Jack talking about reversing the plastic bag ban. Like, what the fuck are you on about, man? Such a boomer ass complaint.

I didn’t realize how expensive these Final Fantasy MTG decks were. Target is selling the Terra one for like 72 dollars?! What the fuck is this shit?

Nice to see we got it right. Good job, Jersey.
New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.

I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

Was driving home from the coffee shop and I thought about how cute my 1yo daughter is and I just started laughing.
