Sailor Doom

My best guess is the Tales to Tremble By scary story collections:

Each story had some creepy art by Gordon Laite:

A lot of this fits with your descriptions from the best of my recollection.

Edit: Removed paragraph about potential third scary story series containing spider egg story, just realized that one was from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 3, so Tales to Tremble By and its sequel is my only guess here.

Bartholomew Kuma’s incredible powers from eating the paw paw fruit and his ability to sneak into a lot of situations in One Piece is adding up!

Rolsex sounds like a tired DM telling a player to “roll for sex” during some kind of porn version of Dungeons and Dragons.

One of my favorite game publishers, this is wild (and not the Outer kind of wild). I’m super curious if the entire staff will start their own publishing company (which I imagine is harder to do without the financial backing of a billionaire’s daughter) or if they’ll split off and go their separate ways.

I’m also very curious if this will start changing the kinds of games Annapurna publishes or if they’ll still take interest in odd and niche games that need a publisher. I wish I knew more about the dispute here but time will tell what happens next at some point.

Just to clarify, what temperature do you set your freezer at and does it stay that temp of do you notice it fluctuating more than a few degrees throughout the day?

That just unlocked an old memory of the videogame Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars for the Wii!

Gubernatorial

I’m not sure if it’s underrated but Mario Tennis Advance for the Game Boy Advance is a gigantic standout for the series.

It’s an action RPG from the same company that made the Golden Sun games for the GBA. The usual fun power hits and tennis mechanics with some of the tightest controls in the series with quality world building and the kind of RPG satisfaction you’d get from a company like Camelot.

This seems like something Kelvin would do on The Righteous Gemstones.

I rotate through these for everything from physical training to career goals to reminding myself to do my best to not be a douchebag:

Jian-Yang!

Ah the ol’ Lemmy switcharoo!

That actually did come out! Mel Brooks produced it, it’s on Hulu.

Extra points for The Simpsons reference in your title, 11/10 post.

Definitely. There was this lucid dream where I was excited that I actually realized I was dreaming and could experience it conciously. There were certain things I couldn’t do and eventually people in the dream revealed I couldn’t control those things because I wasn’t actually dreaming, but was dead.

It was a good twist. Freaked me out and I couldn’t wake up so I figured it was true. Of course the double twist was that I wasn’t actually dead and was just in fact dreaming, but it was a good ride. It’s got kind of a lynchian vibe that I’d be down to just watch it as a movie.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

“It was the best of times, it was the BLURST of times?! You stupid monkey!”

These are my sentiments exactly, very excited to see this getting closer to release. If I had to sum up my feelings of enthusiasm, I’d quote Lea’s joyous line: “Hi! Lea! Hi!”
