Update: The PS2 dad of Bluesky ended up just cleaning the laser of a spare PS2 and put it in the kid’s room
“Aren’t you the PS2 dad of Bluesky? Just give them a PS2!” is a rude but valid question, but I only have one with a working laser and I’m not in a spot to drop $60-100 on another console at the moment.

There are so many shots of a heavily sweating and fully unibrowed Ronnie Sullivan that really drive it home

I do not like the direction my brain took this game already

We did it Joe (while troubleshooting an entirely unrelated issue that turned out to have the same root cause)
I’m on day 3 of trying to figure out how to add cover art to my PS2 hard drive but I know this is what I have to look forward to when something finally works.

I think it’s time the nation take a healing moment to soberly examine why Cyclops’ crouching MK in the Vs. games looks so fucked up

“You know, it’s been 20 years since this album came out and I keep seeing the reviews of the new Metallica album talking about the strength of the lyrics, let’s see how he has grown as a lyricist. … …alright then”
I know St. Anger is probably the most reviled Metallica album but if you are not a fan of the band it’s incredibly funny that every song is eight minutes long with no solos, trash can drums, and lyrics like this delivered completely earnestly.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but my go-to brand is Opinel and they have a bunch of options for the handles, some of which can be very pretty.

Nearly every listing today is new to the site, be sure to take a look. The big item today is the 2D Horizontal shooter Batsugun. I normally don't carry games this expensive but several people have requested it over the years. I don't doubt someone will grab it. My site: japanretrodirect.ocnk.com

I hit 1,000 followers and per the Bluesky EULA have been enrolled in the Corndad Memorial Challenge. Nanobots are scrubbing my neural pathways to remove all traces of shame and the motto of the website has been changed to Fix Your Heart and Dick or Die. I’m sure this is all a good sign!

I am so dangerously close to the numbers where Bluesky releases the chemicals that make you Post Ruinously. When my poster's spirit is weighed on the scales of Anubis, will I be found Wanting?

What was the nastiest game they put on the N64? I’m sure there’s some deep cuts the sickos know.

My other answer is Jet Force Gemini, which actually isn't all that bad but IS the absolute peak of Rare's Horny Y2K Webcomic Aesthetic

Extremely wise of Fortnite to lock down a Robert Trujillo skin and rake in all that SoCal oldpunk cash just floating around out there.

A fun thing about not keeping up with video games is sometimes you find out Epic bought Harmonix and Rock Band 5 is buried in the menus of Fortnite.

Five hours later we have some progress
All I want to do is install some games and make desktop icons for them so he doesn’t use the launchers and literally every step of that process is met with disdain and error codes Bing’s dipshit AI can’t even get right when I click on them.
