Mr. Pibb (Post) Back in the 90s when I was a kid, you could find a soda called Mr. Pibb. It was created by the Coca-Cola company in the early 1970s, inspired by Dr Pepper. By the time MFGG was founded in mid-2001, Coke had replaced Mr. Pibb with a variant called Pibb Xtra. It was pretty good, too, but a bit different. Lately, Coke has lost the rights to produce Dr Pepper in some parts of the US, and so they've re-introduced Mr. Pibb for sale. I've got a can on my desk and it's pretty good.

There are two versions I can find. The first is the regular Mr. Pibb that has corn syrup as a sweetener, and the second is the Zero Sugar which is what it says it is. Both of them have significantly more caffeine than I remember. They used to not print the caffeine content of a drink on the can, so I'm going by the internet here, but I think they increased it from 40 to 54mg a can. I think I'd rather have the Zero Sugar flavor these days, but I've tried both and they're good.

This post brought to you by too much caffeine and not enough Mega Man 11 playtime today.

Fist of the North Star fighting game (Post) I'm surprised there isn't a Jojo fitness boxing game. I've seen the Fitness Boxing games, but never played them. If they're anything like Wii Boxing, then they're good.

I think Fist of the North Star makes sense for that series, because it's like a post-apocalyptic martial arts show. Same for a 2D fighter like this. Usually the dev behind it makes games that aren't this broken, unless you go back a long time. That's why I like it, though.

Missingno. Hunt (Post) I think I remember a fansite like that. Or at least something in the same wheelhouse, like Glitch City Laboratories. TheZZAZZGlitch's channel is legendary, too.

Sometimes I feel like I'm looking at a wonder of nature when I play Gen 1 games. If not then, then when I look into the extensive glitch research there's been into the game.

What are you listening to? (Post) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuX79Ud8zI

Same artist. I used to do a bunch of DoorDash and I'd listen to trucker country on Spotify while driving, even though I wasn't driving a truck and I was in a metropolitan area. One of the playlists I found had this track on there.

Another song from that trucker playlist, the White Knight. I don't think this is the original artist for the song, but I like it.

10-4, back door, put the pedal to the metal and, let it roar.

The first track from the Bitte 8bit demo for Game Boy Color. I like this song enough that I've got it playing on my stereo system at home.

December 2025 Dev Topic (Post) fireball3k here. No problems to report. Hoping everyone is doing ok.

Been busy at IRL job, which I'm sure everyone can relate to. Metroid Prime 4 is amazing so far from what I've played of it. It runs at 60FPS in handheld mode, which means it went well Beyond my expectations.

Natural gas vs. polenböller (Post) I'm glad this guy films this kind of stuff, because I don't think I'd want to handle this s*** myself. Good show, though

I don't want to dump a bunch of jargon here, but I looked up the kind of firecracker the guy used. If the info I found is accurate, that one thing has something like 520 times as much flash powder inside of it as the kind of firecracker you can buy from the fireworks store in the US. Flash powder is significantly more reactive than typical gunpowder, which means my man made a big dent in that can

It probably doesn't do what you think it will.

November 2025 dev topic (Post) This is fireball3k. I suppose I'm one of the devs, even though I'm not familiar with the underlying JaxBoards software from an engineering standpoint. The forums work pretty well, from a user's perspective. There were some spambots, but this is hardly a problem we haven't seen before.

I like the idea of Nite's "What the HELL are you listening to?!" topic a lot. I also appreciated reading Vinny's Final Fantasy VIII topic. Finally, I have included a poll, asking an age old question: does pineapple belong on pizza?

Chances are you've heard this one before.

This one's only partly irony. I love Creed, and this song hits way different now that I'm older. But it's Creed, guys.
