I miss the days of early Bluesky when we all agreed that putting screenshots of ragebait losers from other websites on each other's feeds was totally Bad and Uncool and behavior Best Left Behind

okay so I know this is a discussion of a wide societal masculinity issue but what I'm hearing is we need to make japanese street racing cool and masculine and mainstream so these guys start clamoring for small hatchbacks to do sick drifts in

they put chainsaw man on the big screen. you yes you can watch chainsaw man get blown up ten thousand times on an imax, today

dude I'm getting ads to have a witch blast off my dick

is it impossible for English language reporting on China to take any other form than "China is doing X... [sinisterly? | but at what cost? | because the communist party is evil]

*waches video about MGSV definitive subistence mod*: [sigh] i guess it's that time of the year again

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

People ask me how i became an uncle and my answer is just keep trying. Don't give up!

kingdom hearts + drakengard inspired game where the bad guys look like this

Mash up bands: Guns 'N Oates

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

it is not polite to say so but no discussion of the state of the games industry/press can really avoid the reality that the audience is just. really really bad.

Cheers is Hispanophobic, Transformers is Hispanophobic AnCom dreck, Italian K-dramas are Hispanophobic, manga is generally Hispanophobic, monarchy is Hispanophobic. Masscult under scientology is inherently Hispanophobic. Sorry to spoil your 'fun'.

an interesting thing about the "on Mastodon your instance's admin can just decide to blow it up and now you've lost all your relationships there" is that... can't the same be said about Discord? and aren't a bunch of people happily using Discord normally in their daily lives?

it is the year 2025. through no fault of its own, people still believe you need a computer science degree to join a mastodon server.

bluesky life expectancy now reduced to 1.5 more months

give Greta Thunberg a Gundam

It's increasingly starting to look like every single person who works at this website is a piñata of terrible opinions

when did taylor swift become irony poisoned (1989) and how do we cure it (have her record a hard rock album no i'm serious i think)

maybe 6 months actually.

this app has 18 months left tops

If you want to end monopoly, you must want to end capitalism. You cannot have capitalism without its tendencies towards monopolization and concentration of wealth. It is a fantasy that has never existed.

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

Gamers love to "Mine Resources" and "Craft New Items"

they should make a game that looks like yoshitaka amano artwork

unlike most mecha anime, this one focuses on the DOPE ASS ROBOTS

every poster whose skeets get read in court should be required to have a username that is this funny, at bare minimum

This is a symptom of seeing the horrifying implementations of communism as endemic to the system, and the horrifying implementations of liberalism as unfortunate unrelated coincidences.

"canned sermon" is insanely funny. no new bible patches. dead game. devs don't even care. checked the steam concurrent players for mass and it's washed.

Breathless reporting across the industry on unconfirmed reports that Kirk's killer may have once breathed same air particles expelled by a trans person, meanwhile no interest in ironclad proof that yet another school shooter was a Nazi.

they put the save post button in the exact right spot for me to press it every time I want to stop scrolling over a post.

the fact that the dude and every editor that approved the trans agenda bullet talking points at wsj wasn't instantly fired is really all you have to know about the current status quo

so this was literally some Nazi turf war then? (again??)

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

Look you don’t have to be happy about the events of today to recognize that “It is time we put aside our differences and celebrate the life and work of a transphobic white supremacist hate monger” is an unacceptable idea to push and that too many people in power are currently pushing it

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

(Person who destroyed homeless peoples belongings with a smile on their face) political violence is bad

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

the Video Games community doesn't talk enough about how 75% of making a good video game is making sure the music and sound effects are good. what is Disco Elyisium without Instruments of Surrender. what is Silent Hill 2 without the weird ambient noises.

why was everyone posting like the president of the united states of america has died last night

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

good afternoon

post your favorite Tumblr post or whatever the hell.

I've been recently thinking that the vanishing of dedicated portable gaming hardware has been a net loss for the game industry as a whole. That was where a lot of experimental or sidegames by bigger studios often popped up which have been replaced by...nothing, really.

AI guys do not understand that Art is something that happens inside your brain, they only see Prooduct; and if the Product leaves them with a sensation that in a normal human would be fulfilled with imagination, they choose to fill it with more AI-generated Product.
