So, I was talking to Marina about setting goals and specifically about running.

She then offered up a solution for how she could improve her speed.

Honestly, a bunch of pies waiting at the finish line...it may improve my speed too.

This week for my belated Music Monday post, I decided to recreate a scene from Puddles Pity Party.

This required a few custom designs including the outfit and the face paint.

Hope you like it.

And also, if you aren't familiar with Puddles Pity Party's sad songs, check out his cover of My Chemical Romance's Helena https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksf1tELMblM

A friend messaged me at the weekend asking if the #NintendoSwitch #NES controllers work with the #Switch2. Yes, they do, but they charge by sliding onto the side of the #Switch, so how do you charge them on the #NintendoSwitch2?

TFW you're mumbling some snide comment under your breath, but accidentally say it a little too loud...

Finally picked this up after it occurred to me that I might be able to get it cheaper on eBay. I enjoy tactical RPGs, mecha anime, and metafictional nonsense, so it should be right up my alley.

The lecture was long ago. But the chairs remain.

New liminal space based on an old, abandoned classroom.

A terrible chill runs up your spine! It’s Spelunky time!

Diving deep into possibly THE most impactful roguelike game of all time for the genre, we talk about blistering difficulty, doing more with less, and how Indiana Jones’ whip could use an upgrade or two.

Be careful, Kiki.

Nintendo partner LynxByte Games recently shared on social media that developers won't receive access to Nintendo Switch 2 dev kits if their games don't take advantage of Switch 2 features, such as 4K at 60 FPS and HD Rumble 2.

Right, well, we tried Lego Star Wars on #NintendoSwitch with The Boy, but using the right stick to look around is something he's struggling with. (I remember the first Lego Star wars, back in the day on the PS2 was easier in this regard). So we'll need a new game soon. Any suggestions? He's 5 nearly 6 and we want something co-op we can play together. We've finished Mario Wonder and Mario Odyssey.

This week, I decided to recreate the iconic The White Stripes album cover for Elephant.

Marina and Stitches are each playing their role as the duo. However, Marina is a bit more dramatic than Meg White is on the original cover.

Hope you have a great Music Monday.

So, I visited Ankha and she told me that she was thinking about her "secret guilty pleasure!"

So, here's a Question of the Day: What is Ankha's "Secret Guilty Pleasure?"

Right answers, obviously wrong answers, all welcome!

celeste being sassy last night. not gonna lie, i kinda wanna walk around with a giant pink bow on the back of my head, too…

I visited Stitches and he asked me to pick a color...

The results were...that I'm apparently like an onion, or maybe a radish.

Come on, Stitches. What even are you talking about?!?

Jinx holds up a recipe with the exclamation:

YUM! Now I can make some orange pie!

Ugh, I'm so lost in this school building. Wait?

What is this hallway. It's so dark, only lit by candlelight.

What is going on here...and what is that opening? There's no jungle outside of this building...why do I feel compelled to check it out?

Micro story to go with a new liminal space. Hope you enjoy it.

Pam Beasley: Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture.

Cut away

Pam: They're the same picture.

Zooparasite is a first person survival horror game coming to PC & consoles this Friday the 8th where apparently you're an agent that's been assigned to investigate toxic sewers below the city (with no weapons, just a flashlight)- and you need to outsmart grotesque mutated creatures to do so. Sounds like very much my kind of thing
