It was right around the release of Star Wars Episode I, and the new pastor thought if he brought modern pop culture references into his sermon, maybe The Youths would sit up and pay attention.
The sermon was a whole thing about “being a Jedi Knight for God” and it was insufferable. I’m not sure time has ever gone by slower. I was twelve and absolutely not won over, I wanted to crawl out of the pew and die.
Andy, but they decided against it at the last minute. However, my dad’s brother and his pregnant wife really liked the name, and a few months later my cousin Andy was born.
Some digital artists use Switch JoyCons for shortcuts in Clip Studio and other painting programs.
Since the Internet Archive has already been suggested, you might also want to check out the Queer Zine Archive Project
3D Dot Game Heroes on the PS3. Forget good ports, this poor game didn’t get ANY ports.
You might want to check out Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers. The book is about the people of the Exodus Fleet, a group of multi-generation ships that left Earth years ago. Even though the fleet eventually found other planets for them to live on, many are content to continue living out in space. It’s a neat little slice of life book about this community doing their part to keep these ships going.
Cavern of Dreams is a great little game, I played it a few months ago. The controls felt a little imprecise (on the PC version anyway) but the graphics absolutely nail the N64 look.
When it comes to buying furniture: Get secondhand furniture handed down by relatives, or found at thrift stores, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, garage sales, whatever. It’s more eco-friendly to buy stuff that already exists, it’ll probably cost less than brand-new furniture, and the older stuff is sturdier than anything you’re going to get at Ikea.
With the money you save buying secondhand tables and drawers and such, buy a GOOD brand new mattress. You can cheap out on a lot of furniture, but never cheap out on a mattress. Decades from now, your back will thank you.
I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Duolingo speedrunning, but I already love the concept.
I’m about halfway through Super Mario RPG. It’s not a particularly long game, but I’m in the middle of moving so I haven’t had much time to play anything.
A couple of blog suggestions:
Weird Fucking Games. Guess what that blog is about.
There’s also Virtual Moose, who blogs about a bunch of stuff, but mostly retro and obscure indie games.
Finally, Indie Hell Zone. IDH isn’t updated nearly as frequently as the first two, but there’s still plenty of archives to go through.
The way things are going with TinyBuild, anything’s possible. They just had some major layoffs last week.
What a cool idea, I can’t wait
I got Cavern of Dreams on a whim the other day. I’ll be honest, when I first started playing it I didn’t really like it, but it’s grown on me.
I downloaded a car
If you find an empty community and wish there were most posts, maybe post something.
Hmm, I’m not sure. I can see them from my home instance, but also the last post is from 12 days ago so it might just be because it’s a slow-moving community.
I got Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii when it first came out and just couldn’t get it. I mean, I understood what I was supposed to be doing, but I could barely pass any of the songs. I figured I just didn’t have any rhythm and put it on the shelf.
Fast-forward to 2020 when I was rearranging some stuff and came across Rhythm Heaven Fever again. I hooked my Wii back up for shits and giggles and started playing and was doing great. Either I had magically gained a sense of rhythm or (most likely) the TV I had been playing on when I first got the game had some sort of latency issue.
Now I’ve gone through all the Rhythm Heaven games, but Fever is still my hands-down favorite. I put a copy on my Steam Deck and sometimes I just load it up and play through some songs when I have a few minutes to kill.
Vampire Robot. Love me some B-roll.
