I’m losing it because this list is also roughly mapped to each generation, but not when that generation were kids but rather as adult gamers.
so I guess if there are boomer shooters, then there are also other generations of shooters, right?

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!”

“I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Ok but what if I quickly skimmed it as: “Only you can handle the car, Speed (Racer)!”
Perhaps the best spam text I've ever received

Diablo 1 slain.

Still a good game and very easy to get up and running on any system with Devilutionx. Easy multiplayer is room codes instead of needing (an ancient) battle.net

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I kinda wonder if this still happens anywhere. Certainly doesn’t *seem* like the deals are worth going out to find out.
This is how Black Friday used to be when I was a kid.

“This is not really debatable” says man first time he logs on the internet should be an @theonion.com headline.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

Introduce yourself with four spaceships

And I can't include a 5th as the Enterprise. Or can I? So, I'm just saying that here and including it in the Quote.

Rise of Skywalker is worse than the game of thrones tail spin. If I’d been mad at last Jedi, I’d be embarrassed that this was the following output.

It makes attack of the clones look *well made and thoughtful* and that movie was also desperately trying to adjust to a previous outcry.

“We’re going to see JJ Abrams finally write an ending and we’re going to learn if he can do it. It’s like a meta mystery box!”

Narrator: we learned he could not. Spectacularly. Like a Death Star exploding again.

I would say "I didn't expect one of the most accurate, concise and dialectically immaculate analyses of digital/modern hate politics to come from a furry cow account..." but I am not gonna lie: it was perfectly conceivable.
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

In another “I didn’t recognize that guy” post, I did not recognize this Star Wars guy picture I’d seen before as the politician.

(and Star Wars is number 1, but this is a good list +/-1 swapping of your personal favs)
this is... actually completely accurate, Pritzker absolutely knows ball

basically the only thing you can quibble with is whether you want to swap RotS/TFA or Solo and Phantom, but I think I agree on both placements

no wonder the man had custom jedi robes made
