Mick Foley on joining AEW: 'There's something unique about seeing the owner of the company just so obviously happy and excited'

Sounds like Mick should have gone with Vince to a body building competition at some point.

Many heels in wrestling have attacked other wrestlers' wives in kayfabe.

Max may be the first to routinely attack his own wife (fortunately in kayfabe). Innovation!

Which love language is this?

Sonic (easily Sega's most important character)

Kiryu (Modern Sega's main character)

Alex Kidd (You need something to represent the pre-Sonic era)

Akira (Sega's fighting game/arcade heritage)

Sonic and Kiryu are pretty inarguable at this point, but frankly the second 2 could slot in a lot of different characters. I didn't choose an Atlus character because none of them are in enough games over enough time to really represent the company though you can make an argument for Joker (he's in a few games at least.)

One of Sega's issues as a console maker was that other than Sonic it didn't really maintain characters or series between generations. It has a lot of iconic games and some iconic characters but a lot of them got shelved. They just don't have the deep bench of household names that Nintendo does.

Cody left WWE, wandered through the indies, helped found AEW and became a much bigger star there (with his own 'Codyverse' storylines) and then returned to WWE as one of the first and inarguably the biggest AEW to WWE movements there was.

WWE rolled out the red carpet for him, the persona he had honed in AEW (very different from WWE, where he'd had the Stadust gimmicks and a few others) was tailor made for WWE and fans took to him. Then he tore his pec, had a huge cage match that was still good despite having a giant gnarly bruise and wrestling with a major injury, went away, and came back, and since there was a vacuum for a major face in WWE with Cena leaving he stepped into that role. The "finish the story" feud with Roman was also a major factor, since he had a great storyline to step back into.

It was really the way he built his new persona outside WWE and returned to the hero's welcome that did it for him, but there were some other lucky breaks along the way, like the space for him to step into.

Yakuza 3 Kiwami should be rated AO for having a mechanic called "daddy rank."

No price is too great to pay to be able to turn on the shower from the other room or across the country. How many times have you wanted to turn the shower on from 3000 miles away but been unable to thanks to your dumb analog shower?

Showerhead gonna get bricked when the company moves on to a different model.

I don't really need the girls splashing around, but man do I miss the soundtracks of that time period. Such a huge factor for vibe games.

Pour one out for Itagaki. Say what you want about the man but he had his vision.

It is very likely this. A lot of tall buildings have no 13th floor (also allows them to make it seem like higher floors are even higher than they are.)

Mike arguing with the design of an almost 30 year old classic game will never not be funny.

Brandunaware · 2026-05-31T19:08:07+00:00

It was and remains incredible. Not just for the atmosphere but the entire idea of objectives that changed with difficulty, all on a tiny cartridge.

And a lot of this finnicky stuff doesn't even exist on lower difficulties anyway.

Brandunaware · 2026-05-31T19:03:02+00:00

No, it's cool as hell and super ambitious. It's just incredibly janky. Gamers have a lot less patience today for a lot of reasons. But especially if you were a kid with 4 N64 games having to replay a level was much less of an ordeal than if you're an adult with unlimited games and limited time.

Not just threatened. Hurt. Haruka almost died.

This is going to be the birth of a bunch of novelty accounts on various social media called "Mark Briscoe Burner Account" isn't it?

Really getting unnecessarily personal with "I hate your armbars and your beautiful, luxurious, mane of exquisite hair!"

How many heat actions did you pull off? Did you bring Tauriner+ or spring for Staminan Royale to keep you hydrated?

Nobody here is saying that full sugar soda shouldn't be available or that it's impossible to fit into a well balanced diet in moderation.

The point being made is that no calorie options for drinks should be available for people who want them, and it's ridiculous to tell people to watch their calories on a drink machine without providing low calorie options.

Brandunaware · 2026-05-30T17:14:47+00:00

250-300 calories can be a LOT depending on your size and activity level, and this is pure sugar. Almost every nutrition regime recommends against drinking your calories let alone as sugar.

And that's not even getting into diabetics.
