ok if you don't know about this yet, now you do and you are welcome youraislopbores.me

I swear, the fact that the female PCs in LotRO can wear nearly IDENTICAL armor to the male PCs is a godsend. Hauberks? Check. Plate mail? Check. Scale mail robes? Check.

LRP> when a game's protag is male by default, I'm expected to just get over it and connect with him and "play a character" like "everyone else" (also, "who cares, it's a game") when a game's protag is female and not overly sexualized, average male gamers cry so loud I can hear them across the ocean

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

in other news we got the best post-match insult in smite 2 today "gay team, go play ranked" so not only do I not actually need to be hit by a rainbow beam to become gay! (that would be preferred tbh) but we're also apparently too good for casual joust now D:

"the crew is in excellent shape" in fact, one of them is... STRONGER than EVER. and another... seems to be INCREDIBLY FLEXIBLE... and another...

A toxic fandom where if things aren't completely how you imagined it or overexplained, it means that the creators did something wrong and are therefore inherently terrible people? Haha, I wonder what that's like.

astronauts will be all "ooh reentering the atmosphere is so challenging and dangerous!!" and it's like, ok..? this whole thing was your idea. don't drag me into it

Funding NASA is funding this planet‘s near and long-term health. You think solar power just appeared? GPS? Weather prediction? Battery tech? Most aspects of the microcontroller? Velcro? Space sciences are planetary sciences!

NASA background from the livestream is literally Starfield's loading screen lol 💙😭

If you've played the House of Hikmah, the beautiful Arab-made narrative platformer about the grief of losing a parent - please do leave a review. It's really hard to make bespoke human games like this in 2026, and the team really gave it their all. store.steampowered.com/app/3451680/...

Please, please help me. I'm a trans woman trying to get out of Texas, my mental health is rock bottom, I have no ability to drive or gain health care, I need to get out of here. Please help me, I genuinely can't keep on like this #mutualaid #helpsky #mutualfunds #helppeoplelive #transmutualaid

Hey! It's my birthday! If we haven't met, I'm John. I do writing/narrative design games... including ones you might have heard of. I've just wrapped up doing rewrites and VO direction for an upcoming AAA shooter so I'm currently looking for the next adventure.

The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...

"back in the day fantasy used to be dark and gritty and that was so much better" but once you start asking questions it turns out wayyy too often the 'dark' and the 'gritty' mean relying too heavily on themes of SA/gendered violence and I don't think enough people are ready to admit that

hey i’m being real fucking serious right now call your reps. this is insane. he already had thousands of jobs removed from the us fish and wildlife service. dismantling the us forest service will have a devastating impact on habitat protections. im too mad for words.

Very much Solas on their “impromptu date in the Fade” 💚 #Solavellan

I love how there's a wolf statue in the Dalish camp that says "Fen'harel is a trickster and a traitor and a troublemaker and his statue was made to sit just outside the camp ON PURPOSE" I just know Solas looks at it from the Fade sometimes and makes the 😑😑😑 face lol

apparently today's a good day for this

women stay winning as usual

a CEO of an NFT scam company is being a fucking weirdo, what else is new

it’s awesome how every CEO is just completely insane now

Mosslax! 🌱

Got the Terran Armada DLC now thanks to a code from @adeptusanxietus.bsky.social appearing on my timeline 😭💙 Thank you thank youuu (also thanks @syberghost.bsky.social for the repost) Starfield folks are the best I stg

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Do you think some male players will struggle to find it?

Found & connected an artist but I'll keep the post up and DM folks just in case it doesn't work out, thank you so much 💙

hey folks a creator I follow is looking for a thumbnail artist, specifically someone using Blender or a similar program to made low poly 3d models with lighting for thumbnails. if you or anyone you know is interested, pls send them my way and I'll connect u 💙

probably the worst single moment of my life was when i had to leave work early due to some cousin-of-norovirus stomach bug and i was so sick i had to pause at a city trash can to puke in it and when i did like FIFTY HORNETS came SWARMING out of it at my FACE

Cullen (C) and it's not even close, but also I am biased and full of butterflies

I want this beef with the Vatican to keep escalating because I'm pretty sure the Pope has some sort of gilded battle mech laced with saint bones.

When asked something they don't know, kids have a tendency to make shit up, because they know you want to hear SOMETHING. LLMs are kinda the same. You want an answer, it's been prompted to give an answer. But if the information isn't there, it will never say "I don't know".

does this apply to any politician? I have a list would he like, take commissions or

I have this fuckass habit of going just a tiny bit too fast first time I play a new game (new for me), not because I don't enjoy it but because I just *really* can't wait to see how everything unfolds And I know it's not doing me any favors but I've no idea how to not do that lol ugh.

I want a very specific superpower which is anytime I see someone quoting any AI generated answer in response to someone online having an issue of *any sort*, I'd be able to physically reach through my monitor and smack that person in the face

and like I get it IF this shit is said by someone whose life is currently in danger and they somehow have time and energy to fucking tweet about it but no, it's usually someone sitting comfortably at home where it's safe, telling others to go and get shot because they "should" and "deserve to"

"you should be willing to get shot" yeah but willing to get shot DOING WHAT, fam? what overthrows a power like the US? I'm sure there's an answer, but I don't know it, and neither do you.

me, having started my first Cousland playthrough:

an audience that can be 'alienated' by saying stuff like 'children shouldn't get bombed' deserves nothing

“You’re alienating half of your audience by being political” Motherfucker, my “audience” is people who aren’t pieces of shit, who care about others. That’s who I make stuff for. There is no “other half”.

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

this is a really shitty situation for everyone affected, and also not at all surprising after seeing it's another one of those blockchain/nft scams techbros never fail to deliver another reason to fucking hate them

lots of straight dudes really telling on themselves when fictional men with genuine flaws and shitty tendencies still set the bar too high for them to meet those standards lmao 💅

if you're the type of "gaming journalist" whose first instinct is to write about a 3-year-old game's "failure to be among this week's best sellers" on a new platform, I hope you know your "journalism" 1) sucks donkey balls 2) is only appreciated by sad miserable fuckers like yourself I'm so done
