The Insert Credit theme music has lyrics that I cannot avoid singing in my head whenever I hear it. I will never reveal what they are.

I used to see copies of Steambot Chronicles at Gamestop, not anymore though

You can have as many names as you want nobody will stop you.

I‘ll use this as an excuse to share two mildly-funny stories that have been sitting in my drafts here for a while. I love hearing video game impressions from people who don’t pay attention to video games.

I've talked to my boss once about video games, mostly the snes games she played growing up, but she did throw out this zinger: "I didn't know anyone with a sega. What games did sega have? Sonic and that's it." I told her I knew some people who have probably committed assault over accusations like that.

While geting a long & boring medical test recently, I was making small talk with the very normie nurse. Video games came up a few times but it was clear she mostly only knew what had made it through to the mainstream -- the mario movie and hey, isn't that new hbo show based on a game? She asked if there was anywhere I'd like to travel and when I said Japan, she asked why. I said I liked japanese video games. She thought for a minute, clearly trying to imagine a japanese video game, and then said "You mean like konami?"

(so if Jaffe still needs an answer to who'd represent japan at the video game olympics, apparently it's not nintendo or sony or sega or squenix, but konami)

What did he mean by this????

I keep meaning to mention since it came up in the SMA thread but I‘ll put it here since I have nothing to “show” that I’ve been boiling my mushrooms before frying or stewing lately and I 100% recommend it and I can‘t think of a reason to ever cook mushrooms again without first boiling them. Like that ig chef said, boiling kicks all the water out of the mushrooms. They reduce in size and become really hardy and resilient. Not tough or chewy but they develop almost a crunch, and maintain it! through frying without getting mushy and slow cooking without breaking up. Everyone stop what you’re doing and boil your mushrooms right now!!

Go-gurt is just yoghurt

@“edward”#p112674 reported for misinformation (not actually)

For probably more than a year I‘ve thought of making a “Confess Your Video Game Sins” thread, intending to get some specific confession of my own off my chest, but now I’ve forgotten what that is
