I remember seeing someone say we need a movie with Daniel Radcliffe and Margot Robbie playing a couple who get mistaken for assassins who are played by Elijah Wood and Samara Weaving, and I may not ever stop wanting to see that movie.
The dorks are LIVE! We're taking our first look at the Legend of Zelda series this week, because why not. We're absolutely not going to get through the whole series on this episode, so come join us to find out how far we get and join in on the conversation! twitch.tv/themanapool

The world wants me to die. My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days. Many were saddened. However, joy dominated the commentary.
[so many words later...]
I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture. This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality.
[even more words later.]
For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe. I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hlx6oefypliizxxuqf435awt/bafkreih5uvs6dnypeyx2llvituszk3by2ck445piif3icndk6fbfgytama)

@fmruin.bsky.social I AM happy with myself! It is truly an honor to find myself on the same page as you re: Mother Brain’s spot on The List. I’d offer you a guest spot on my show as penance but I think time zones might make that untenable with my cohosts’ schedules, so you get off light 😅
This was my very first run in Fame or Folly, a Balatro-like that feels like blackjack and is presented as a medieval traveling theatre troupe putting on performances. See how I made it to season 11? You win the run at season THREE! I kept running in Endless mode and it was a LOT of fun 😁 #nextfest
There was an issue with one game on the docket last night, so tonight is officially the final Next Fest demo stream! First I'm gonna go back to Dimhaven: The Lost Source to finish it properly (hopefully) then I'll be playing Fame or Folly, a roguelike deckbuilder! Join me, I'm live!
This is it! The last batch of Next Fest demos! Unless something goes extremely long I'm not stopping until I finish The Button Effect, Desolus, Your Forever Friend, and Lily's World XD! Two 1st person puzzle games and two games that take place on a computer (I think). Join me for the end!
I'm ALMOST done with the Next Fest demos I picked out! Today's stream (like right now!) is Swordcery, a Hades-like with all manner of crazy swords, and PRELUDE Dark Pain, a turn-based tactics game with a Darkest Dungeon look to it. Afte that I think I'm down to just 4 left! Come join me, I'm live!
The Next Fest demo streams will continue until morale improves! Or until I run out of games to play! 7 left, I think? First up is Valor Mortis, 1st person soulslike in Napoleonic times, then hopefully Prelude Dark Pain, turn-based tactics game with a Darkest Dungeon vibe to it. Join me, live now!
The Next Fest demo streams continue because I downloaded WAY too many! Come join me for Echoes of Mystralia, an action RPG roguelike sorta in the vein of Hades but with a spell crafting system that I can totally see consuming my life! That's probably the only one I'll do tonight, so check it out!
Thoroughly enjoyed all three of the Mother episodes of @caneandrinse.com. Kudos to @fmruin.bsky.social for the excellent job putting those together. You should all be listening to The Cane and Rinse Podcast by the way, it’s an excellent video game show that’s been going almost as long as us!
