The Kongregate page for Don't Shit Your Pants has maybe the funniest game news update of all time

Developer Updates. April 17, 2013.

"Hey everyone, we’ve taken the veil off of for our latest game. I’m sorry to say it’s not Don’t Piss Your Pants, but we think it’s just as cool.

Our newest game is called Rogue Legacy, a procedurally-generated “Rogue-Lite” with an in-depth heritage system. We’re super proud of it, but right now we need your help to get it on Steam.

If you’ve enjoyed the games we’ve made in the past, it would mean the world to us if you could visit the page below, and give [...]"

It's just one of those days

A messy office space. A plush Garfield is face-down on the ground.

Did somebody say "senator suddenly dies"

Garak from Deep Space Nine, smiling. He doesn't know anything about senators who suddenly die. He is just a tailor.

Had to turn off the Balatro run because I went half an hour without blinking #SGDQ2026

Got my tea the perfect hue this morning. Good omen

The Xbox "1 billion players a day" nonsense reminds me of when CEOs say "this can be a hundred-billion-dollar company" like that's an IDEA

“Ebay should be worth – and will be worth – a lot more money,” Cohen told the Wall Street Journal.

“I’m thinking about turning eBay into something worth hundreds of billions of dollars,” Cohen said, adding: “It could be a legit competitor to Amazon.”

I need someone to tell me how to feel about this pizza-flavored tea, which I am currently having a nervous breakdown about www.fridaytea.com/products/piz...

The tea is called Pizza Power. It is a tisane.

Ingredients: Olive leaf, tomato flake, basil, fennel, cumin seed, red chili flake

I saw this scene when I was 6 years old, and I think it permanently changed something in me

$The hallway of an old-fashioned hotel. The hallway abruptly cuts off and drops into nothingness. Beyond the hallway is a massive expanse of sky. Suspended within the sky is some kind of ancient Greek temple that looks like it was ripped out of the earth with chunks of the ground still in tact. The temple is topped off with a massive stonework Sierpinski triangle fractal.$

I cannot say enough good things about how this game looks

A payphone on the wall of an old-timey diner. However, the room is abruptly cut in half. The other half of the room is a massive empty expanse of the sky, like the world suddenly stopped.

A conveyor built running through a strange geometric structure with a maze-like pattern. The structure is surrounded by jagged mountain peaks with orbs perched atop them.

A deep cave tunnel with train tracks. The tunnel always rendered somewhat smoothly and crudely. The light falls off quickly, with darkness forebodingly overtaking the tunnel after a few steps.

Woah-oh-oh

Revisiting an old favorite tonight, The Labyrinth of Time. 33 years later, the art direction is still incredible. Every render in this game looks like an irradiated photo taken from the edge of reality

A long, tube-like geometric hallway lit by two enormous globe lights. There is a dark passageway at the end.

$A fragment of classical-inspired temple floating in the sky, blocked by a field of jagged crystals. The temple uses a Sierpinski triangle fractal in its design.$
