The Emotion Engine
@emotion-engine
Formerly CJ, Shadax, or Chimera_Brain elsewhere online. I post a lot of adequately painted miniatures, old PlayStation games, and some leftist nonsense. Usually nice.
Thinking about how Osprey, a publishing house almost entirely devoted to publishing military uniform/equipment fetish material disguised as dry but picture heavy non-fiction tomes, put out a book dismantling the right wing mythologization of Sparta with an absolute all-timer table of contents.

Tfw you’re John Halo and your power armor just cranked you off.
This is John Halo from the acclaimed television series Halo. #miniatures #miniaturepainting #nerdlings
Thinking about this incredible trap in Quake Brutalism Jam where the map fakes you out by giving you the precision weapon and seemingly only spawning a single enemy after a long wait, only for the other 20 or so to appear after you zone in on the first one
I’m mostly into it for the interactive audio dramas they ran on New York public access a couple decades ago.
My son asked if he could play the 360 Edition of Minecraft and I am trying not to turn to dust over how he considers this to be an Ancient Text in the same way he thinks about Mario 64 or Pac-Man
As someone who does not play 40k I welcome the new edition because that means eBay is flooded with sprues of whatever the little sibling faction is and I get to buy and paint lots of stupid looking orks and whatever space snotlings are called. Look at that weaver stance. Safety first!
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance is such an incredibly important game to me for so many reasons, not least of all for the amount of shame I felt even as the 16 year old target audience for this.
Everyone is losing their mind over GTA6 and scalping download codes when you can already put the turn-based PSP Scarface spin-off that plays like a cross between Drug Wars and Baby’s First Koei Game for free on pretty much any device in your house at this point.
I actually finished these guys a few weeks ago and forgot to base or post them until now. #miniatures #miniaturepainting #nerdlings
I’ve had them muted forever and for some reason they follow me even though I haven’t been focused on retro stuff for at least a year now??
Not to add too much more to your list but I’d also throw in Wu-Massacre.
It may seem cute but that's his emotional support skull. Champions of Khorne only lick those when they are very distressed.
A big grip of bootleg Ultraman stickers make for the perfect birthday or Christmas party decor for all three genders
Calmly sitting down, placing my transparent This is COOL Japanese Saturn on the table and silently maintaining eye contact to let the other person know it’s their move
Celebrated having AC again by cracking open my massive new wet palette and painting a very quick goblin with it. #miniatures #miniaturepainting #nerdlings
I know this isn’t for people to actually play and anyone with the means to play actual Genesis hardware already has 1d4+1 copies of this on hand, but introducing blind chase variants to $100 novelty slop is a historically great model. You can ask my close friend, Direct To Market Comic Books!
BREAKING: Scientists reveal what every piece of genAI cover and key art on albums and video games is going to look like on 20 years.
I love the Plex’s deep commitment to showing me a new feature I would never want in a thousand years every time I open the app. Yeah dude I just wanted to put Angel Egg on in the background but sure go ahead and try to recreate Film Guy Reddit.
Here are my 9 Steam games. I tried to focus on things that I haven’t seen on any other lists.
Today’s Swan Boy reminded me that I recently learned that the county I live in is not in fact named after Tom Green the comedian but Tom Green the Confederate general who died from getting blackout drunk and having his head blown off during one man calvary charge on a gunship.
Imagine this written in the most unreadable calligraphy font on the CD in neon blue with no border over a light turquoise background between chapters
I just backed the Kickstarter for the 30th anniversary hardcover rerelease of the Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) sourcebook for Mage: The Ascension
I’ve never seen the cover of Haddaway: The Album before but I love that it would naturally fit on a mid-90s Vampire: The Masquerade splatbook (Roxbury By Night, MSRP $9.99, average of two fonts and one word You Can’t Say Anymore per page)
For reasons not entirely clear to me, I have owned the binder that came with this for the last 15 years. It’s literally all i know about this game.
