I'd rather be an X-Men as well

Sorry if I’m grumpy it’s just that everything sucks

Hug your favorite person with ADHD and remind them they're not in trouble.

Yes. This.

Excuse me, God? I ordered the Queens Gambit breakdown, the one where my makeup gets better and I wear fewer clothes and it's all very sexy and hip as I slowly lose my mind? You seem to have given me the package with the sweatpants and empty fridge, I'm confused. If you could return this call when y

If you want a REALLY good War Dads: Dads Who War Good film? Only the Brave. Miles Teller is great, and Josh Brolin is the stern dad you've always wanted.

I'm watching this tonight, because we may have a new entry for War Dads: Dads Who War Good. This looks perfect. It's even "inspired" by true events. Flawless.

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or [email protected], thank you!

Can I just watch the Odyssey or do you think I should rewatch Troy first to get caught up?

Listen, if you put a song in a mix tape for one person and then reuse that song in someone else's mix tape that's unethical. These are just the rules, I don't make them. Two songs by the same band can never be back to back, it's the law. Shit is complicated.

I would love to know what exactly happened between the timing of these two skeets.

There really isn't a games media anymore. There are some great people doing amazing work, but there are so few people left there's not much of an ecosystem. It's not a viable career path anymore, and hasn't been for years. It's numbing.

When my cats are hungry they just kind of nuzzle me and nap wherever I am until I get up and feed them but like. That incentive structure is not what they believe it to be. That is discouraging me from feeding the cats. They are literally being starved for attention.

Some people argue infodumps are bad, and other people wonder why you have a problem with Jujutsu Kaisen.

Look at it this way: A record is a physical object that is raw data and contains zero forms of authentication. You own it. You can steal one and it will work forever. You can loan it to anyone and they can use it no matter what. That's fucking wicked.

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

Just a reminder that when you buy a physical copy you get to keep it forever and the artist gets money.

I've been doing an Industry rewatch now that the new season has begun and this show rips. It works even better when you watch a few episodes at a time. It is a beautiful show filled with beautiful people but none of it is aspirational. Pure, bleak, television that's also incredibly funny.

"We Beat 'Em Before... (Portland's Version)" This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.

Keeping your settings locked down helps you, and it also helps others. I was about to respond angrily to a post but quote retweets were turned off. The person didn't want to hear, and after that bit of friction I realized i didn't even really want to say it. It literally helped both of us.

Fuck. I'm going to be thinking about this one for a long time. It's a great answer to the "nothing happens in Pluribus" bullshit that pretends visual art doesn't exist

I have to start having more fun. Have to. There is no point to any of this without fun. Zero reason. It's not a luxury, it's mandatory. It's as important as eating. I've been neglecting it and it shows and I'm going to do better.

Sometimes I wonder why I've never dated anyone super into fitness, and it's a mystery. I've never been into fitness myself and spend zero time with people who work a lot on their bodies, so it will likely remain a mystery, sadly.

During incredible uncertainty and division I'm getting a little choked up as all genders, people from every kind of sexuality, and even space aliens have posted about how hot Sophie Turner looks as Lara Croft. The asexual delegation has even released a statement praising the game-accurate choices.

A part of me always wants to say "how dare you feel ok mentally when..." And no. Stop. Feeling ok mentally is how I take care of my family, myself, and help others where and when I can. Feeling guilty about that is ridiculous.

It's funny. I'm kinda sick, kinda exhausted, kinda broke, and I wanted to be grumpy about my day but a little voice stopped me and said actually under all these circumstances you're doing pretty great. Liking yourself is weird. I'm uncomfortable with it. Even this post feels like bragging.

Zero notes.

I have been most of two nights without sleep and I am not feeling great, dawg

Why are these people only tough in fundraising emails?

I did not sleep last night. It's 2 a.m. right now. This is going great so far.

It's not even remotely safe to enter the country right now, do not do it.

I was looking at a job that checked a ton of boxes and was a great fit but they drug tested and if you've read my skeets for more than five minutes you know how much THC helps my anxiety and insomnia. I have never been more relieved when the interview was nothing but red flags.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

This sort of attitude fueled way more of the early VR games and demos than anyone would like to admit.

Wild to see a politician immediately go to work and beginning to help people. If the past few years have shown us everything, it's that the Democrats just didn't try. Turns out this was possible the whole time. You can tear down the White House if you want to! They just didn't care.

Boston residents after finding out ICE may be on the way

He is backed up by members of No Doubt. This is the most 90s version of this song possible.

My face when I reconnect with a mutual from Twitter that I didn't know was on Bluesky

It's weird to go from nicotine being something that led to cigarette burns in my mother's blankets to most young people considering it a mostly harmless performance enhancing drug. It may even just be a mostly harmless performance enhancing drug, I have no idea. But it's a weird cultural shift.

Facebook marketplace is like a swap meet on meth, if swap meets weren't already, you know. On meth. By the way I take prescription meth, I'm allowed to make these jokes. Anyway, free tattoos in Cincinnati.

in a refreshing change of pace, both bandcamp and games workshop announced this week that they've banned AI to varying extents. these stances are crucial during a time when AI is being rammed down our throats at every turn, and some people are starting to accept it

It still bums me out that George Washington had to be good at war so now I don't get to see a dentist. Thanks George.

They murdered someone. Why are you pretending they didn't murder someone.

I am a lifelong Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Beast in Me, Perry Mason, Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood) fan, I think he elevates everything he's in. I'm also always shocked when I hear him use his natural speaking voice. If you've never heard him speak when not acting? Buckle up.

Stop scrolling, post two characters who bring you happiness.

Listen I think in Hollywood more people need to take risks on original scripts and ideas, get more directors making more work from more writers, and stop relying so much on IP. Except for the Rocketeer. If you need a script for a sequel, Disney? Call me. I have like eight.

I encourage everyone competing with me in any way to use as much AI as they can. When your enemy is making a mistake, don't interrupt them. This a guarantee their blade is gonna chip and shatter.

Industry pulls off one of my favorite tricks, which is to have a show shot and edited and scored so well that it looks like competency porn but the show slowly reveals that all these people are really bad at their jobs. Mad Men did the same thing. The agency was always a week from failure.

"I used to meet new people and date all the time, how come it's so hard to make connections these days?" asks the man who went out socializing five nights a week in college and now has his groceries delivered.

I have reached the point where I'm giving up and I'm just awake for the day.
