Andy, but they decided against it at the last minute. However, my dad’s brother and his pregnant wife really liked the name, and a few months later my cousin Andy was born.

JustWatch does a decent job of telling you if a specific movie is on any of the streaming services. For example, I just searched for the movie Tombstone and apparently it’s on Apple TV+, Hulu, and AMC’s service.

It’s not always accurate, so take everything it says with a grain of salt, but it’s better than nothing.

You’re right. How are we gonna ever beat Boktai without the sun?

Weren’t there some people worried about the end of the world with the most recent solar eclipse?

If there isn’t a minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania called the Squonks, someone needs to get on that right away.

Some digital artists use Switch JoyCons for shortcuts in Clip Studio and other painting programs.

Since the Internet Archive has already been suggested, you might also want to check out the Queer Zine Archive Project

3D Dot Game Heroes on the PS3. Forget good ports, this poor game didn’t get ANY ports.

You might want to check out Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers. The book is about the people of the Exodus Fleet, a group of multi-generation ships that left Earth years ago. Even though the fleet eventually found other planets for them to live on, many are content to continue living out in space. It’s a neat little slice of life book about this community doing their part to keep these ships going.

Cavern of Dreams is a great little game, I played it a few months ago. The controls felt a little imprecise (on the PC version anyway) but the graphics absolutely nail the N64 look.

When it comes to buying furniture: Get secondhand furniture handed down by relatives, or found at thrift stores, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, garage sales, whatever. It’s more eco-friendly to buy stuff that already exists, it’ll probably cost less than brand-new furniture, and the older stuff is sturdier than anything you’re going to get at Ikea.

With the money you save buying secondhand tables and drawers and such, buy a GOOD brand new mattress. You can cheap out on a lot of furniture, but never cheap out on a mattress. Decades from now, your back will thank you.

The first Phantasy Star is such a cool RPG, especially with the SMS Power patch that retranslates the game and adds several quality of life options.

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Duolingo speedrunning, but I already love the concept.

I’m about halfway through Super Mario RPG. It’s not a particularly long game, but I’m in the middle of moving so I haven’t had much time to play anything.

A couple of blog suggestions:

Weird Fucking Games. Guess what that blog is about.

There’s also Virtual Moose, who blogs about a bunch of stuff, but mostly retro and obscure indie games.

Finally, Indie Hell Zone. IDH isn’t updated nearly as frequently as the first two, but there’s still plenty of archives to go through.

The way things are going with TinyBuild, anything’s possible. They just had some major layoffs last week.

What a cool idea, I can’t wait

I got Cavern of Dreams on a whim the other day. I’ll be honest, when I first started playing it I didn’t really like it, but it’s grown on me.

💩. Gotta make sure the middle name is an emoji too, none of this “he can go by his middle name if he doesn’t like his first name” nonsense.
