Frances Bean Cobain is married to Tony Hawk's son, and they have a child. Imagine being able to play a series of video games where you play exclusively as your own grandfather. That's a very niche genre, "Pop Pop Games".
It's funny how much Final Fantasy 1 owes to this 1986 Japanese Cindy Crawford Pocari Sweat ad, art directed by Moebius
I'm one of the folks affected. *Many* on the list are gifted; their work was crucial to the weird little miracle that is ZP. Please, consider hiring them. Dust is still settling on my end, but my inbox is open.
Must-read
Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/
«Verify your age» I saw the cyberpunk Super Mario Bros. at a movie theatre when it was new & I did not know how to feel about ANYTHING in that movie (except Roxette)
"Verify your age" I had the Sega Channel when I was a kid.
I was trying to think of a kinder, more diplomatic way of saying this, but basically this. People who refuse to accept that 2006 games are now retro because the era doesn’t feel nostalgic need to examine why the era doesn’t feel nostalgic *to them.*
The entire discussion ultimately boils down to people getting old and trying to partition off their memories in a way that allows them to not feel old. Literally the same thing happened every time newer music transitioned to "classic rock" on the radio.
Oslo tonight has been "war drums in the distance" type vibes
The whole internet loves Larry the Truffle Cat, a lovely cat that digs for truffles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Larry is AI generated
Hey, so just because it's still Pride Month and this is one of my peeves that's making the rounds again: Treating queer people as "inappropriate for children" is in effect making our existence obscene. I was exposed to endless hetero romance as a child and STILL turned out gay.
a lotta yall still dont get it fortnite skin holders can use multiple verse scripts on a single indie game so if you have 1 verse script and 3 indie games you can create 3 new fortnite skins Tonight's verse script mint event is essentially a minting event for both fortnite skins and indie games
Hearing her perform those songs live, with drums that punch hard as any metal show, was 100% a treat & highlight
the motherfucking album emotion by carly rae jepsen 2015
Grew up & stopped playing discopunk in European clubs, but here we go again. This is Barcelona.

Obsessed with these snow fairies from Japan. Any orb birds, tbh
Sure hope she's being careful with those glasses

I wonder if anyone has made a VR chat environment that's a replica of how the Stonewall Inn looked back in 1969
Fatboy Slim’s first hit being a Christian acappella bop will never cease to amuse me. Picked this up at Big Dipper in Oslo yesterday
Spending an hour on How We Know We're Alive was worth it. Well done to @augusthakansson.bsky.social for making me nostalgic for a gas station.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.
Persepolis is an important, life changing work, not merely of the most significant graphic novels but also one of the best animated films ever made. Marjane Satrapi’s passing is a huge shock and loss.
💭 🎬 L'artiste franco-iranienne Marjane Satrapi, qui s'est fait mondialement connaître avec la bande dessinée et le film "Persepolis", est décédée à l'âge de 56 ans, a annoncé son entourage jeudi à l'AFP.
DOCTOR: The great Pagliacci is in town! IAN BOGOST: Commedia dell'arte is formally deficient DR: BOGOST: Clowning robs from us the purer joy of watching balls roll down a ramp DR: Ok— BOGOST: The circus is riddled with kids & narrativists DR: Get out. Here's a scrip for lexapro just get the fuck out
Opening with this song (& video) for my gig at Freedonia in Barcelona this Saturday. I've even made my own ghost costume (ghostume?) for the show, let's see how many songs I get into the set before it gets too hot
