Not talking you into anything; not everything works for everyone and that’s why there are lots of games.
They did a good job with the remasters and you can see the series get closer to the feel of the comics as time went on.
And Steve liked them, which is all I care about! 😃
lol I’m pretty partial to the Telltale games, but I’m a bit biased.
(Check my bio)
Only real ones could make it through ep 7. Respect.
My Favorite Games: Sam & Max Hit the Road
A game that was so obviously one of my favorites and most formative that even I forgot to include it
Oh no not the guy famously known for consistently making great decisions, Ben Affleck! Not the best friend of cryptocurrency pitchman Matt Damon!
Maybe it won’t haunt me every time I see it, knowing that it’s actually only 249 stitches across.
My whole career I’ve never really thought of myself as “a programmer,” it’s always just been something I’m pretty good at doing.
But I guess I am to my core, since I’ve been crocheting a blanket and discovered that I’ve got an off-by-one error.
"Politically correct" I guess means "with the approval of Congress as explicitly required by the Constitution of the United States?"

Whew. Good news if you, like me, were a fan of Parlor Room and were starting to get worried the series wasn't going to get a second season.
"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"
counterpoint!
the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time
It may seem cruel to cut Noem’s career in the DHS short after only 14 months, but sometimes they’re just untrainable, dangerous, and have an aggressive personality.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
trivia: this is panic's first internally-developed game available on steam and consoles! i think that's cool!
you gotta play it, it's a delight.
Nobody tell me how it ends because I want to keep imagining my dumped-with-a-bucket-of-pigs-blood ending.

Yes but also
Hey! I little bit of a self-serving plug for my good friends at Skunk Ape Games! They've remastered Poker Night at the Inventory! You could unlock the Grickle Deck! A complete card deck designed by me! It's now AVAILABLE on PlayStation, Switch, and PC via Steam! #grickledoodle #cards #poker

I haven’t been feeling well this week so Pazuzu has been staying close by to administer cat healing powers. He really is just the best.

Didn’t post this one because it’s definitely not “fun horror” and violates the spirit of the thing, but it is one of the most memorable moments in any horror movie I’ve seen.

These are all pretty brilliant but this one is just sublime.
Screenshot of the results screen of today’s Clues By Sam logic puzzle, with the text: Mar 4th 2026 (Medium) Solved in 03:29 You're among 25% fastest! Only 40% others had a perfect solve.
I’ve been doing so poorly at cluesbysam.com lately that I had to share this to redeem myself. I didn’t think the compared-to-others stats were necessary, but after having my ego bruised so many times, they totally are.
(If you do not so well, the game tactfully omits the stats)
Paddington in Weapons (2025)
I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1816
I already think making me listen to your bullshit videos, or your phone calls on full blast, just since I’m unlucky enough to be near you, should be punishable by being shat upon.
Silently recording me for the worst companies on Earth so you can livestream your boring-ass life? Death penalty.
Another thing about Mark Zuckerberg’s Pervert Glasses:
I’m sure people are saying they’re fine, because the number of malicious users is so small compared to the number who’ll benefit (somehow?!) from them.
These people have obviously never had someone blaring audio on their iPhones next to them.
Kate Bush is so good that she wrote a song about the impatient, lazy mindset that makes people want everything quick and easy from Gen-AI, all the way back in the early 1980s.

Turns out instead of spending billions to create pervert glasses and wantonly disregarding people's privacy, you can save a hell of a lot of money just by saying, "I'm so sorry, I've completely forgotten your name."
RE: Meta's Pervert Glasses
When I first heard about "smart glasses," I immediately thought how great it would be to have something help me remember people's names in social situations.
Fortunately, I'm neither rich or perverted enough to make it happen before realizing how stupid that was.
