- Cap would literally go out of his way to shield bash every single ICE Agent. He stands for what America SHOULD be, not what it is.
- Same goes for Punisher. Frank Castle would be taking these dudes out.
- Since moving to Bluesky, I've noticed that I've gotten some of the kindest and most supportive followers of my content that I've ever had. When you work so hard to create content that you hope brings joy to others, it's nice to have genuine positivity returned to you. It just means a lot to me. 💜
- The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater episode was SUPPOSED to drop tonight. But my editing software had other plans. I've lost hours of work. I was able to recover a previous save, but still.. Why🥲 I'm so very sorry to Patrons/fans who've been waiting, but I need another night to finish. I'll get it done.✌️
- Final Fantasy II is DONE! Ok. Look... There's stuff I didn't like. The leveling system didn't land, the cast is underdeveloped, and the encounter rate is... insane. BUT, I was still invested in it. It has dark moments and deaths that have actual weight. Overall, I enjoyed it. Time for FFIII!
- I want to take a moment to honor the late Jerry Lawson, the Electronic Engineer who led the design of the 'Fairchild Channel F' console and also designed the FIRST interchangeable game (ROM) cartridges. The game industry wouldn't be what it is today without Jerry's brilliance. (cont..)
- And yes, this WAS a huge deal. 1970s consoles had games built into them and couldn't be changed. Jerry's work made it so games were able to be stored on cartridges that could be removed repeatedly without damaging the components OR electrically shocking the user! (no, seriously) (cont..)
- The Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. wouldn't have existed without Jerry's work. Period. This man quite literally changed video games and we all owe him so much for paving the way for those who followed his work afterward. Thank you, Jerry. May you continue to Rest in Peace.
