HEY 👇 so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2. tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games. it's gonna be fun. we hope you tune in.

More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to

He was an underrated Everyone is 12 Patient Zero. "I want to own 10 cars and I think girls are gross." Of course you do, you're 12.

ah, the Jacksonville Excommunication

lmfao get wrecked

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Peace is blocking Jill Filipovic because I can

*sigh* Never old

don't forget, Iran's stubborn refusal to respond militarily to an astonishing, in duration and scope, campaign of provocation is ultimately to blame, definitionally, for any preemptive strikes. these attacks would be unimpeachably retaliatory if not for the antagonistic inaction of this rogue state

you think you've seen the whole movie, and then the alt text reveals you haven't even finished act two

wild that a fake industry with no purpose is destroying a number of real industries that people like and use

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

I hate the dismissive way politics-heads talk about lefties having “purity tests” as an insult. It’s such a sneer. But looked at another way - what it really means is that they have DIFFERENT purity tests. E.g. if we demand full trans rights, that’s supposedly a purity test. Why? [cont]

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

The feeling of having known something to be true, deep within your very being, only to have it confirmed as such. There's just nothing like it: defector.com/jeffrey-epst...

wrote up my broader thoughts on the new Evangelion, which I'm cautiously optimistic about in a way I wouldn't be with other "forever" franchises—if we're to live in a world where saying goodbye to all Evangelion is an impossibility, better for Evangelion to grapple with that with fresh perspectives

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

still remember the "it's too early/hyperbolic/irresponsible to compare these guys to Nazi Germany" Reasonable Posters - whom, I imagine, are waiting for the renovations to be completed before they update their priors

Don’t call me “honey” and expect it to make up for the fact that you SHRUNK THE KIDS

One of many reasons to love THE X-FILES is that it perfectly captures the beauty of befriending a coworker who you think is totally full of shit.

I imagine it was extremely disturbing

Breaking: Tragedy at the Winter Olympics

we don't talk enough about how this paranoid freak released virtual insanity in 1996. years before the average person in the uk had even sent a text message, he was dancing like a maniac in his big moving gaff, enraged to the point of song by faxes, teletext and encarta 95.

Wait. All this time I've been thinking that with "playing with action figures" they meant "furiously masturbating"!

I’m being honorably discharged from ICE today because I have terminal Havana syndrome. Next time I kidnap a 5 yr old it’ll be from that big Chevy Tahoe in the sky

People joke about how certain internet DMs the villain is always capitalism, but also if everyone's running characters that are plucky underdogs against the system it's kind of hard for the villain to not be capitalism.

every day ask yourself what you can do to Bring Back Shame

“For as long as the ride lasted, I had believed that it was not physically possible for me, or anyone, to die at Disney World. I believed that mortality, injury, worked differently in here.”

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

Colossal by @vigalondo.bsky.social is the best movie you have not watched.

this isn't funny, declining empires only do this when they're very distressed

I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the blackness of the sea. On its horns hung ten crowns, and on its heads were inscribed blasphemous names.

I once got in trouble for laughing at shippers, so I tread very carefully here, but let me tell you a thing: I love Dispatch, and it's probably my video game/animated series/superhero story of the year. But holy shit, that fandom. Don't just touch grass, guys: start chomping on trees.
