  • Reminds me of an old flash video by Jim Ether hosted on thefriendsociety called “Don’t touch the pan.” It lasted about 5 seconds, looped, and is no longer available for our viewing pleasure, but it was scripted as thus:

    Person 1: “Don’t touch the pan! The pan’s hot.”
    Person 2: “I’m going to touch the pan.”
    Person 2 touches the pan.
    Person 2 screams in agonizing pain at probably 10x decibels louder than the rest of the speech.



  • Visitor to your grave: “…I need more context.”
    Your ghost: “It’s about AI art.”
    Visitor: “…I still don’t get it.”
    Ghost: “That’s because you’re a robot. Everybody’s just robots now. Us ghosts are all that’s left of humanity. All that you know is based on what we suffered to learn and create.”
    Robot visitor: “…but why a rat with a big butt?”
    Ghost: “Draw one, and reflect on the cloud of noise that you produce instead.”
    Robot: *draws a rat with a big butt
    Ghost: “…AI wasn’t as good back then. Fuck you.” *whisps away




  • I’ve posted this on reddit back in the day, both on r/tipofmytongue and r/tipofmyjoystick.

    There was a free indie game that I installed on my Windows PC back in the 2000s. I don’t know where I got it, but I don’t think it was Steam. The game was a 2D platformer where the main character was I think a red cat. I remember it being kind of fast paced, and you had a sword, and at one point can shoot lasers or something which played into the platforming (I think charging it and shooting it downwards gave you like a double jump? I’m not 100% sure if this is accurate).

    I’ve tried so hard to find this game again, but time and time again I’ve come up empty.

    Some more details, though it’s very foggy at this point:

    • I think there was a level select screen, kinda similar to like Mario 3
    • There is the typical friendly village level where you can talk to NPCs
    • I think one level was on top of a train.
