Not the sort of torment I was expecting, really. "Iā€™m convinced there must be some other game called Planescape: Torment out there, because the game I cleared was one of the most misogynistic wastes of time Iā€™ve ever experienced." kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2024/10/08/p...

Planescape Torment: Never meet other peopleā€™s heroes

[Content warning: This article cites misogynistic dialogue in several places and also refers to in-game scenes of relationship-related abuse.] Iā€™ve had my eye on this RPG for a long time now,ā€¦

Once again thinking about columbo villains dot com, the only website where you can buy throw pillows and t-shirt dresses with the pictures and last words of the villain from every episode of Columbo

A throw pillow with a picture of Dick Van Dyke from the episode Negative Reaction with his famous(?) last words ā€œyou didnā€™t accidentally reverse that filmā€¦ you did it deliberatelyā€
A stock photo of a woman wearing a T-shirt dress with John Cassavetes from Etude In Black with us famous(?) last words ā€œgoodbye geniusā€. He is holding a conductors baton.

There's a neat thing on the internet archive for classic anime and RPG fans: translated transcripts, 'Replays', of the original tabletop sessions between Ryo Mizuno and friends that were serialized in Comptiq magazine and compiled into the original Lodoss War novels. archive.org/details/reco...

The compilation's cover, with the main antagonists of Lodoss War posed together.
An introduction detailing how in 19876, Hitoshi Yasuda was approached by the editors of Comtiq to write a series of articles about the origins of RPG games and D&D. Yasuda settled on the 'Replay' format, got Mizuno and friends together, and cobbled together an original campaign setting, Lodoss Island.
Profiles and black and white illustrations of Parn, Deedlit, Ghim, Etoh, Slayn, and Wood Chuck.
The first of the chronicle pages of their adventures read like Twitch sessions of D&D transcribed and likely dramatized a bit.

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies

1 year and 53,000+ words later... it's finally ready! I've written an in-depth article on every single one of the 33 games in the Sega Ages 2500 series, covering remixed modes, optional 3D glasses, secret menu features, and more! kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/sega-ages-25...

Is there anything more definitively "Sega" than the company fighting tooth and nail against itself to deliver something extraordinary in spite of its own self-inflicted problems? The Sega Ages 2500 Se...

I keep saying you can play it on the TV. And if it has co-op, we can play it together. Should probably do a series playthrough while we wait for it...
