I think, due to Nintendo's unbelievably byzantine system for backing up and transferring Animal Crossing, I may have lost my island. I am only mildly crashing out about this. Only... mildly...

Hey uh, this is awkward, but I can't make rent. I'm desperate. Anything helps. Please pm if you can lend assistance. 9 months of no job, burned through my savings, I'm in a bad way right now.

Yes next question.

Remembering with a milk-curdling smugness how we had to sit through an entire lecture in university on how we shouldn't use Wikipedia for research, and now it's being held up as a bastion of reality in a world losing its grip on objective truth. Reader, I used Wikipedia for research.

this is the crux of it i think. i'm naive for not cowering in fear. if my grandfather had tried to vote for the first ten years of his adult life he could have been killed. i think i can deal with an ICE chud at my polling place.

i actually live in a district that might be the kind of competitive that attracts attention, in a city that holds real significance for trump and his minions. there might be goons at my polling place and if i see them i'll give a smile and a wave and i'll cast my fucking ballot

Maybe I'll be the fool in the end, but even though things are bleak, and scary, and seemingly getting worse, I cannot find it within me to subscribe to fatalism and doomerism. It is, to me, akin to rolling over and showing your belly to those who would gouge it out. Simply not acceptable.

As mentioned, Pat's family have asked for support in dealing with the financial strain of an immensely difficult time and I would be so grateful if folks could give a donation www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Nah. Not doing crunch discourse again. Crunch is very bad. People who advocate for it are deluded or inhumane or both. The end.

Anthem the game had fun gameplay and deserved a chance to get better with the Anthem Next team. Anthem the project drove good people out of the company and put others in the hospital.

Can't imagine the Adeptus Mechanicus will be thrilled about this, but I am.

Ursula K. Le Guin, spitting truth.

the sigh i sighed was both an ancient one and one yet to happen, reaching back to my ancestors and forward to my descendants, filling us all with a bone-deep weariness that seeps from us and into the sodden, worn earth below.

Will focusing his endless font of energy when it comes to being annoying towards ICE totally rules and I tip my cap. Someone buy that man a tank of gas

Been a good weekend for steelbook collectin'.

I fear I have once again not learned that '2 coffee no lunch' is a fundamentally catastrophic idea for anybody, let alone someone* with anxiety. *me

Thievin’ sure be hard work #art #fanart #finalfantasy #ffix #finalfantasy9 #ff9

So often in life horrible things happen and there's nothing we can do about them. But this one, there is. If you're still on Twitter, leave. If you know people who are still on Twitter, convince them to quit because it's not worth the moral injury

*posting on twitter* oh ho, I’ve made a wry observation. Better make sure a bunch of pedophiles see it

It's unbelievably irresponsible to post photorealistic AI generated content like this.

Is 2026 going to be the year of the sweater vest? I guess we'll find out!

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

Tell Discord AI sucks. Tell everyone AI sucks. But specifically right now, tell Discord AI sucks.

and as a video

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

I barely think about The Obelisk anymore. Couldn't care less about its strangely oily surface or the gentle hum of its presence

Finally, it's wrong AS A MATTER OF ETIQUETTE. Entering a total stranger's discussion and leading with your private anxiety is as off-putting in social media replies as it would be in real life. If you wouldn't interrupt a stranger at a party to announce that America is doomed, don't do it here.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

jesus christ this fucking world

Held off until New Year to finally start Hades 2 and as expected I am entirely unable to stop playing Hades 2.

Finally, we have removed from gaming its most persistent problem: gaming.

this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy

Absolutely awful news about Patrick Dane. One of the most determinedly optimistic and friendly people I've seen in this industry and beyond. Only met him a few times but he was always delightful, friendly and optimistic. What a terrible loss for us. My thoughts to his loved ones.

What else is there, really, on a day like today.

JESUS CHRIST!

[starmer at home, curtains drawn, riverdancing expressionlessly as the phone rings off the hook]

take a shot every time kier starmer says 'let me be absolutely clear' or something similar. then die of alcohol poisoning.

definitely not feeling super moored to reality this morning.

fucking hell

There have been no good reasons for staying on Twitter for years now, but at this point you will have to follow up any of your remaining excuses with “…and I don’t care about the child pornography.”

Bernie Sanders publicly swears in Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor

getting into whiskey is the same as developing a delicious, but perilously expensive, and also potentially poisonous, collection (happy new year!)

Brought back a box of my Dad's old model trains, and what must be a mile of track, and I wish I could tell you I wasn't hyper-excited about that but I am.
