#introduction
The name's Mandrake. I left birdsite in late 2017 and I've been part of Elekk's community ever since. I mostly toot about #gameing news (especially #indiegames), what I've been playing recently, and whenever games are being given away for free.

I also really like #dogs and #Spyro, he is a perfect purple boy and I love him and all 74 of his gay dragon dads

If you think about it, dragons are basically dogs that can breathe fire and fly send toot

Started playing #NuclearThrone the other day and I think I might prefer it to Enter the Gungeon? It's much faster paced, constantly throws weapons/power-ups at you, and perfect if you've only got 15 minutes and want to shoot some stuff up

Luke is too pure and innocent for this world. #ProfessorLayton

Tried out that new Hearthstone autochess mode. Games take forever to complete, severe lag on iPad (eventually becomes unplayable), lots of waiting, not much strategy beyond "Have biggest minions in play". Also I miss Ben Brode.

It's only been explained to me after 16 years that Bart is supposed to be shouting "eat asphalt, asphalt-eaters", but Nancy Cartwright's poor line-reading results in an unfortunate mondegreen

In preparation for #SBCG4AP Episode 4, I've been rewatching 'Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, Too?' which contains my favourite visual gag in all of #HomestarRunner

One's a supervillain in charge of an evil corporation. The other is a character played by British comedian, David Mitchell.

Suddenly had a revelation about J. Allen Brack earlier today...

Finally finished #Moonlighter last night. The twist ending is quite clever with how it explains the rougelike mechanics in-universe. Hopefully there'll be a sequel which continues the story and adds greater depth to the shop system and characters.

Also, you cannot pet the dog in Moonlighter, but you can have a friendly slime who follows you everywhere and helps out by poisoning monsters.

Reggie Fils-Aimé recently gave a business/marketing lecture at Cornell University, following which someone naturally asked him a question about Mother 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7Bh0VkNa2Y

His response: "Luckily for me, this is a decision that I'm no longer part of!"

"I will have to kill you myself."
"ok, flatlander woman"
"How did you know."

I know there's far more serious things to criticise Blizzard for right now, but I can't help but notice how "Early Access" for their latest Auto Chess thingy essentially means users paying for the privilege of playtesting it for them
