College story time. Our dorm had a Rock Band competition and we went all in on Metallica. It did not go the way we planned. CASIOPEA's Galactic Funk live brought the whole memory back.

Rune Factory 3 came out in North America 16 years ago today. I've personally never gotten into the Rune Factory games, though I do love the older Harvest Moon titles and (of course) Stardew Valley.

Nelson Nash used a grocery store to explain banking. A grocer has to turn inventory: sell the can of peas, order another one. Now swap the peas for dollars. How many times can your money turn over? Same game. perfectspiralcapital.com/pod…

The yellow paint problem: your character can do crazy parkour, but only on the ledge somebody painted yellow. It's convenient, and it also takes away your need to think things through. More in our Golden Sun episode: youtube.com/@SideQuestSages

Since ads all say "here's what no one tells you" I'm beginning to think all human knowledge is behind a paywall.
Beautiful trolling.
Someone made a Linux script that emails Sam Altman every day to report how much unused RAM is sitting in your PC.
Called Ram-Altman, it monitors your free memory and sends him a daily email if more than 10% is unused.
It even includes different email messages and a test mode.

I turn 37 today! I was born in 1989, the same year the Game Boy came out, so we're basically the same age. (Please don't call me Game Boy in place of my name.) I don't have my grey brick anymore, but like many I originally got it for Pokemon! Here's my first Pokemon game manual.

Thanks to all of you who are hanging out and talking RPGs with us at youtube.com/@SideQuestSages , it means a lot!
Rob Brayton said it well: capital attracts opportunities. When things get shaky, the people with liquid capital they can reach quickly are the ones who get to act. Money locked up where you can't touch it doesn't help much in that moment. perfectspiralcapital.com/pod…

Miyamoto-sensei and Gabe Newell must be protected at all costs.
Shigeru Miyamoto absent from Nintendo's investor Q&A due to a "sudden health issue," but is in stable condition gonintendo.com/contents/6700…

Final Fantasy V Advance came out in North America 20 years ago today. FFV never got a SNES release here, so this was the first access for many fans. Series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi once called V his favorite.

Reacting to Mili's world.execute(me), I had to pause and talk about the one thing no simulation can ever take away from us. Full first time reaction: youtu.be/o5Z4nfghBw0

Y'all can you imagine if Pokemon Winds/Waves has even half the love and care going into details like this?
The more I play the more I see small details that just blow me away. For example if you slash flowers or grass and they fall in water they don’t just disappear they actually float on the water. And if you slash any body of water the water actually splashes and reacts. Love it!

Brendan paid for his car with a policy loan. No lien, he owns it outright, and his death benefit is still in place. His words: "I like to be in possession of my possessions." Full IBC IRL episode: perfectspiralcapital.com/pod…

Monolith on the case builds my hype even higher!

In most RPGs you can summon a literal god of fire, then get stopped cold by a box in a hallway. Golden Sun's big idea was letting you use your powers outside of battle too. Our Golden Sun dev history episode: youtube.com/@SideQuestSages
