A few years ago I was in a cafe in Dayton when they received a phone call from a guy claiming to be in and from Ireland. He asked simply, "is this Ohio? from the memes?"

depths of wikipedia@depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 6h agoCredits are indeed displayed when you clear all the cups on expert, by the way. It was never going to matter if this game was good. I was going to love it, and I do. Also, I rant for the millionth time about how game companies gotta do better by their old games. www.nixon.computer/blog/gamecle...

Clayt💿n@nixon.computer · 2d agoI've been playing Zero Racers for the past few hours and it's odd to be playing a game from 1996 that people know so little about. Do credits roll after you win all the Cups on Expert? Sorry, no one on Earth knows yet!
Yes, I've been listening to a lot of Kiss lately. Yes, I keep finding new-to-me songs by them that become weeks-long obsessions. Yes, I'm learning their shit on guitar. NO I am NOT a Kiss fan! That would be ridiculous. Anyway, this song rules lol. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m_c...

In addition to it being deranged that it never got hot in Seattle, in hindsight it also sucked that it never stormed there.

The first new F-Zero game in three years and the second in 22 years.

Found my first-generation iPod Shuffle at the bottom of a drawer. When I charged it up and pressed play, what did it serenade me with but one of history's perfect songs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zy2...

SOFTBALL WEEK 4 DOUBLE HEADER GAME 2 🥎: I sucked again!!! 0-2. Ground out, fly out. Everyone else did too, though. L 3-17
SOFTBALL WEEK 4 DOUBLE HEADER GAME 1 🥎: 2-2, Run, RBI Made the only play that came to me in right, a hooking fly ball. L 9-6. Probably the first 7-inning game I've ever played lol.
I don't relate perfectly to either this piece or its counterpoint piece. I love starting games, but just as importantly, I love finishing games. My body is a machine that turns unstarted games into finished games. It detests a backlog, and the work is never done. Anyway, good reads, both of 'em.

Since 2023, in Fayetteville, GA, there has lived a roller coaster beloved by enthusiasts and genuinely considered among the best in the world, ArieForce One. It resides at Fun Spot America, a glorified carnival. I finally rode it today because it closes next week. It's actually that good lol.
people who think you need to remake games are crazy this goes absolutely insane
SOFTBALL WEEK 3 🥎: 0-2 at the plate once again. 3 of my last 4 PAs have been shitty groundouts directly to the pitcher. I gotta fix my shit!!!! I at least made a semi-challenging play in RCF. Miraculously, against the team that had outscored us 49-9 in the first two games: W 12-10

Just found out there was a US Senator as recently as 2010 who at one point in his life was a member of the fucking Klan.
Hmm, my company has started cross-training teams on other teams' products and also is increasing in-office days. What could this portend.
If Argentina wins the biggest sporting event in the world on penalties after failing to put a single shot on goal in regulation or extra time I will take back everything I've said about soccer. It's clearly God's gift to us all.
