Game where the ancient hero is awakened from the deathless sleep of centuries in the hour of their people's greatest need, only to find that civilisation is thriving and there are no obvious threats on the horizon; the game then becomes a fish-out-of-water detective sim as they try to figure out what woke them up, and also solve other, smaller mysteries along the way.

"do you prefer toku mecha or magical girl series"

listen. sailor moon, kamen rider, and mazinger z's descendants share more DNA than the average pair of Habsburgs. you are living in a prison of your own design. sometimes your magical girl transformation sequence is fundamentally inseparable from hitting yourself with a plane, and that's okay

There's seven bubsy's? I thought half of those were made up?

(With reference to this post there.)

Excluding compilations, remasters, and that one Windows port of the first Super Nintendo game where they inexplicably decided to stuff the complete pilot episode of the animated series into it in spite of the latter having been cancelled four years earlier, there have been six Bubsy titles released to date:

Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (1993)

Bubsy II (1994)

Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales (1994)

Bubsy 3D (1996)

Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back (2017)

Bubsy: Paws on Fire (2019)

That would make Bubsy 4D the seventh proper instalment in the series if it actually gets released.

Normal speedruns: This trick saves eight frames, but if you mess it up it's a ten-minute time loss.

Chrono Trigger speedruns: Okay, so, if you press the reset button with sub-millisecond precision and interrupt the process of saving your game on a specific CPU cycle...

Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of subterranean mycelial networks, and are typically harvested for food just before the stage of growth where they'd release their spores, so if certain fringe theories about mycelial intelligence are correct, we've basically made a culinary industry out of edging a hivemind.

Rouxls Kaard is hands down the funniest Deltarune character. Every time he shows up he’s always up to the new dumbest fucking thing you’ve ever heard of and is somehow consistently inventing new ways to lose at literally everything. Incredible.

I feel like the Empoisoned/Swumbles Big Jumble schema is missing the obvious third option of "indie game whose title is a complete sentence describing itself". You can certainly make an argument for Swumbles, but stuff like Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling or this game will end in 205 clicks don't feel Swumbly to me.

"This would kill a Victorian child on contact" buddy, that kid grew up with heroin in their cough syrup and arsenic in their wallpaper. A Victorian child would probably kill you on contact.

The term "book of the dead" doesnt really give you perspective to how big a lot of Egyptian funerary texts are.

Imhoteps book of the Dead is 64 feet long.

Guy who says “you know, the unabomber kind of had a point” but he just means that “eat your cake and have it too” is a more sensical idiom

as a slav : literally true

is the true? (im mexican)

I honestly have no idea what they're talking about, exactly, but my theory is that slavs are the winter version of latinos

To the bold ff.net user in 2013 who tried to write Moby-Dick from the whale’s perspective, please get back here you were cooking

Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.
