The CRTPixels Twitter account does a nice job illustrating how pixel art designed for the bleed of CRTs looks on CRTs. Even as someone who appreciates crisp pixel art, it’s true that so much of it in the 90s was explicitly designed to look good on CRTs, especially when using techniques like dithering.

They got rental store releases and the VHS was like $90.

I’ve listened to the original audio, and in my opinion that is how it comes across in Swedish, perhaps more clearly than in the translation. Obviously I have no idea what actually happened, but it sounds as if what he’s apologizing for is (as he presents it) having had sex with her while not reciprocating her…

I dunno. Judging solely from that translation, it could easily be spun as him saying “I’m sorry I gave you the wrong idea about what our relationship was going to be.”

Pretty sure the Norse gods were not only worshipped by Norwegians...

And less genuine. If there’s one thing more tiresome than teen cringe, it’s beleaguered cynicism.

This article is just about as angsty as every teen thing you despise. 

With a few hundred years worth of separation, we tend to focus on the good individual major contributors did, rather than the bad. Henry Ford is, generally, lauded as the man who dragged America into a proper manufacturing revolution. Sure we might occasionally mention that he was a virulent racist, Nazi-sympathizer,…

Like, don’t you remember what it was like to be a star wars fan when knowing there wasn’t nary a single movie on the horizon, and all you had to tide you over was pretty much fanfiction?

I believe they are saying that while this game is good, it derives a lot of that good-ness by imitating systems from other games, and there is a risk that since they have made a good game with this formula that will make them money, they will now repeat it until they run it into the ground and make it not fun anymore.

How I know you actually played the game:

Pippi Longstocking is getting a new film. . .

After handling a 3 year old all day, your energy for grandstanding about protesting fast food protests is rather diminished.

the psychological magic of a wireless vacuum leads users to spot cleaning on an almost daily basis when not worrying about having to unwrap/wrap cords and plug/unplug cords every time you move to another area of the house.
