Dudes will shout at the top of their lungs on a crowded green line train about how much they hate their ex instead of going to therapy

No pun intended, but holy shit

The thing you have to understand when talking to anyone who tries to justify the murder of Renee Nicole Good (or anyone else at the hands of ICE) is that they're really just very, very dumb. There are many things they do not know or understand.

Defining "stayed" the same way. Spent a summer in Montana with my grandma when I was young, later took a family road trip out there and then also one down to Florida. The west coast and most of the south I've just never had a reason to be

So winter's just... over now? Quick flash of snow and we're off to spring?

Think you got what it takes to be the latest #PlayKI and #PlayDivekick champions? Catch both games at @frostyfaustings.bsky.social/@956.productions Vortex Gallery.

I'm getting really really close to actually nuking Windows off my PC and installing Linux.

My friends and I just published a zine of essays about games that fascinate us but we can't recommend actually playing. Come read our thoughts about Yakuza Dead Souls and Paper Mario Sticker Star and VtM Bloodlines and so many more: www.rumblepackzine.com/zines/games-...

Fuck Connections If you're "familiar" with the terms boat or quads for poker hands then I'd be fascinated to hear what it was like being unfrozen after 150 years on ice you deranged riverboat gambling addict

Deal came back

Waffled just a little too long and missed my chance at a pretty good deal on a new 3D printer.

The impractical, tactical egg

subtlety found dead on the streets of Baldur's Gate

I don't think we can "new year new me" our way out of this one, folks

Did you know KI is happening today? Still time to sign up!! #PlayKI

I stayed up long enough that I saw the news in a half-delirious state of sleep deprivation. I was hoping I would wake up and it would all have been part of a bad dream.

Windjammers 2 for $3.33 go grab peak

While everyone else is posting their media logs for 2025, here's a thing I wrote about why I didn't keep one, and some thoughts on the matter. itsjustovis.substack.com/p/a-meditati...

I'm hesitant to commit to a resolution because I know there are too many unpredictable factors to this, but I really want to write more in 2026. What's the hip (hopefully free) place for long form writing these days? Tumblr? Substack? Medium? Livejournal still a thing?

AI chatbots should never be allowed to react in ways more advanced than the way the characters in Facade react when you type the word melon. We peaked here.

as much as this game can frustrate me, it can also let me feel like the absolute coolest motherfucker for no reason, like what do you mean I just rushed 30m, smacked a dude twice, then caught his crossbow bolt and flung it back into his chest killing him instantly

This is one of the greatest fighting games ever and very much worth your time! I made this video breakdown on what makes this one so cool if you need more convincing :) youtu.be/w5jAzXVok5M?...

HEY YOU! Have you heard that hit fighting game "Killer Instinct" is going to be a mainline game at Combo Breaker 2026? Shocking, I know. Did you also know that the full game is free to try and the bundle with all characters is currently on sale for less than ten US dollars? Give it a try! #PlayKI

Killer Instinct players, I hope to see you once again at Combo Breaker 2026. #PlayKI

2026 WILL be the year I finish Baldur's Gate 3, but I will die mad that I seemingly have to develop a reflex to quicksave either before or after every encounter just to not lose my fucking mind in the process

That's insane. Samus watched what she believed to be the last Metroid die in front of her and Sylux just shows up 2 years later with an army of them AND he figured out how to fuse them with other organisms before the Federation did. And all of this is kinda just treated as no big deal in-game.

I desperately need to see what Retro could do with a hypothetical Metroid Prime 5 without the burden of existing assets Nintendo refuses to let go of because I swear to god there's a good game buried in MP4 SOMEWHERE but it's under several layers of stupid awful bullshit

I love my friends, especially when they get me off

How to take zero damage from Chronos: 👎be good at the game 👍have fat stacks of cash

Thinking a lot recently about how my experience with Prime 4 probably would be going a lot better had I finished replaying the entire trilogy first like I intended. Had I done so, it would've been a gentle slide towards linearity rather than the sharp dive I had going from Prime 1 straight to 4.

LRT there in fact appears to be a very good deal going on at Gamer Thor right now on the entire AA series, including a bundle at the bottom for the 6 main line games just over 20 bucks. That's a lot of game for not a lot of money!

Oops I for got to update this for almost the entire month, still got room for 6 more

Yearly holiday reminder that you should watch Klaus on Netflix. If you've already seen it, watch it again.

Hey this game is great and you should play it, especially for only five bucks, just don't believe the steam tags or anyone who tells you it's a metroidvania. It ain't one, and that's okay.

Heads up.

WSD ports might be the most ontologically evil piece of technology Microsoft ever invented and that's saying a lot

they're calling it the healthiest run of all time

What the hell was I on in 2024 damn
