I decided to try and review a manual nose and ear hair trimmer from South Korean brand Royal for @aftermath.site and I can confirm that it blows every electric trimmer out of the water. aftermath.site/manual-ear-a...

Nor does it stand up to any basic economic sniff test. BY DEFINITION an acquired company cannot continue unchanged. Companies are acquired for ROI. Their valuation accounts for the current expected future growth. The whole point of an acquisition is thinking “we can do better”.

companies will say anything to get mergers approved! and how can current leadership guarantee anything when they're about to be under new leadership! it's always placative nonsense

I was on the most recent episode of close all tabs, @morgansung.bsky.social's excellent KQED podcast, talking about twitch's political reckoning. if you for some reason do not already get enough of me on aftermath hours, go listen! www.kqed.org/news/1206199...

I have finally found the 2025 mystery game I can passionately demand everyone play while enigmatically refusing to tell anyone anything that happens in it to avoid spoilers, driving you as mad as you all drove me

Far-right movements don’t create; they only co-opt. The US government’s Halo and Lord Of The Rings memes fit that moldy old playbook to a tee. @nathangrayson.bsky.social and @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social explain:

I wrote about The Ivalice Chronicles and my undying love of turning Final Fantasy Tactics' Mandalia Plains into a endless grind fest. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/final-fantas...

WE ARE LIVE, AGAIN www.twitch.tv/aftermathdot...

We're LIVE

On this week's stream, we're talking US government agencies coopting Halo memes and Twitch drama, as well as Amazon layoffs killing New World and maybe also a Lord of the Rings MMO. We go live at 4 PM ET www.twitch.tv/aftermathdot...

its been a pretty quiet few weeks at aftermath, myself especially. sometimes only 1-2 blogs a week. man, i wonder if theres a reason for that. maybe ive been working on something for our 2nd birthday that i get to show off next week. hrm i wonder.

today the vice president of the united states weighed in on collargate, a widespread lie about a twitch streamer being a secret dog torturer. with each passing day, we become even more 12 years old

i quote the below twitter joke constantly because of this

justice for boys who like being given tasks, thank you for this riley

This piece is brilliant, and nails why I use games like this to relax every night. Playing something where effort turns into reward reliably is unbelievably calming in a world where each day brings fresh hell. Give me tasks.

Have you heard the good news about tasks aftermath.site/power-wash-sim...
