@nprofile…mmy9 @nprofile…45ny hahaa! Ok, the ones currently on my phone are Pocket Rogue, Pokemon TCG mobile, all 3 touch mushroom garden (Nameko) games that I've been crazy about for a while 😂 plus Quest of Dungeons (always a favorite), Space Invaders World Defense (I need to play this more, it's AR and the ships appear outside!), and My Singing Monsters, which is basically because my kid is into it.
Oh, and a new one I still need to try, Lucky Defense.
Now I wanna know what ones are on your phones 😂

@nprofile…45ny @nprofile…mmy9 I only like a couple, they usually either don't have ads or the ads aren't too intrusive. And I don't pay for anything, so it's gotta be playable free. So that really thins out the mobile game playing field 😂😂

France's REAPING DEATH put out a great, raunchy 6 song EP called 'Maggot Infested Coffin' earlier this year and I dig it. It's rough, OSDM style, very crunchy, cavernous and riffy. And there's some chainsaw, screaming and general horror noises in there, too. Always a good thing.
Some French metal for this week's bonus #ThursDeath 🔥💀

On this day (November 7) in 1997, Starship Troopers was released in US theaters. It's easily one of the greatest sci-fi films ever, and an excellent satire of fascism.

Sick as hell with a shitty cold these last few days and losing my mind kinda, but had a nice day regardless despite the pain and mucus thanks to how nice wifey is. We got pizza and she's playing Echoes - I've been hitting up some Game Boy games. I have all these weird bootleg multicarts with every kind of game imaginable. Played everything from Happy Birthday Bugs to Mappy to Kirby to Mario Kart (TOUGH on Game Boy!) and currently, Doom. The Game Boy is so amazing.

It's Keith Morris' 69th birthday today, the wild man himself was born September 18, 1955. Happy birthday, Keith. Truly the nicest age.
On Keith's birthday and in his honor, today we listen yet again to one of the greatest records human beings have ever created.
I speak of course of 1983's 'Golden Shower of Hits'.

Most tech news stories I've been seeing the past few days/weeks have been about companies feverishly adding "AI" to things, and I don't want to shit on the people in tech here who I know use LLMs or whatever for any possible good uses, but the gold rush from the companies is rough. I just personally think it's a bubble, and when it bursts, things are gonna suck
