game genres are so fuzzy and confusing...what's an Action Adventure game?? what do you actually do in an RPG?? to fix this, i got together with loads of my lovely friends to create a much more descriptive classification system. all games can be neatly placed into the New Genres

Guess I'll post this again

FFXIV: No spoilers, but the Arcadion Raid Series appealed to me specifically because it embraced its wrestling roots wholeheartedly. By far my favorite piece of content this expansion 10/10 no notes

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Been reading "The AI Con" and what it has taught me is that my brain does not care much for fiction (with some rare exceptions), but it will ABSOLUTELY gobble up well-researched nonfiction.

I've seen lots of acceleration due to the use of AI: acceleration of inequality, acceleration of climate catastrophe, acceleration of slop, acceleration of trust collapse, acceleration of scams, acceleration of model collapsed acceleration of misinformation, acceleration of drought

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed! Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

There are times where I ask myself "Why is it so hard for me to be creative? Why is writing and art a struggle?" And then I remind my brain why by make vague gestures to The World™ and Society™. Even with the help of therapy, being creative remains a struggle.

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.

I didn't use LiveJournal, but this echoes thoughts I have often about my middle school/high school online friends--ones from communities who have long since dissolved, messenger apps that haven't been around for years, old email addresses. I wish them all well, the friends in my memories.

I am McFucking Losing It that RAM prices are over $300 for 32 GB all thanks to AI nonsense.

This year's Capitalism Sale is upon us this weekend. Don't support mega corporations and the shitty cheap stickers they offer that are A. stolen from actual artists and B. AI generated slop. My stickers are amazing quality, cute, and unique! shop ➡️ mcapriglione.art

I sat down to read this over the course of two days and I cannot recommend it enough. Ysme truly embodies "aren't you tired of being nice???"

I feel like I've been sick nonstop for almost a month. Can't wait to bring THAT fun fact up to my doctor next week. 🫠

Carsie Blanton, everybody. 👑

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.

Working on getting back into coding (after two weeks between getting sick and family stuff) and out of NOWHERE my brain locks in and remembers... my geocities web address from the 90s. And yeah. The wayback machine did archive it. A single iteration of it, but it's there.

Jeffries, Schumer, Trump, Vance, Miller, the NYT editorial board and opinion section, the Zionists, the Cuomo team -- they're all shitting themselves and crashing out. I can smell their weakness.

“The story of this is not going to be the greatest thing we ever did was run this campaign. It can’t be. It’s going to be what we did after we won.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Celebrate tonight. The work is only beginning. Let’s go!!!

It's been several hours and I'm still losing my mind over what's currently going on at Worlds 2025

Hey.

🧵Thread of cafes, restaurants, bars, bagel joints, etc offering free meals to SNAP recipients, for those who might need it, & so those who don't can give 'em their business. If you know of such offers in your area & don't see them here, please tell us in @'s. Here's one! toastedseattle.com

"I want us to move away from these models where everything is centralized, where we're beholden to tech giants, and where our worst behaviors and instincts are encouraged and enflamed. I want the internet to be repopulated with funky weird websites about whatever random hobby or interest you have"

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

I’m sorry y’all the Seattle mayoral race is straight up hilarious. A millionaire incumbent trying to paint his opponent who is raising a 2 year old in a 1 bedroom apartment as out of touch lol

PLEASE don't let people get away with using AI as a source. I've seen too many screenshots of Google AI answers instead of links to articles or papers. Context collapse happens so incredibly quickly because people take whatever perspective they're handed instead of using their own.

I'm just posting to post something... #sketch

A good reminder for all the indie game devs out there. What we do is very difficult. It doesn't always work out the way we might hope. But you created something from nothing and put it out into the world. That matters. You matter.

Drop some CLOWNS 🤡🍔

I remain convinced that AI is fundamentally a labor-punishing technology, not a labor-replacing one; the point is to force existing workers to accept lower wages & worse conditions because of the threat of a replacement that’s not practically possible at scale

In Brazil, when a big confusion happens, we say “um barata-voa danado” (something like “a flying-roach situation”). This powerful expression is used to instantly illustrate the primitive chaos that erupts when a cockroach starts flying in enclosed spaces with people. And I think that's beautiful.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
