my first 2 cats were both FIV+, really stressful to take care of, and they ended up dying within like 2 months of each other in 2023. when we got our current cats we were like we can't do that again so we intentionally got two young healthy guys. anyway guess who has a big ass tumor on her head now

jusis being rally mad at rufus for all his crimes but also kind of jealous that rufus has somehow adopted an entire new family that doesn’t include him FOR THE SECOND TIME even though he’s only had his freedom for like a week is very funny.

trails dubs making it VERY clear that they pronounce it ep-STINE lmao

rean schwarzer spending this whole game being like "oh wait fuck i have ptsd and i'm really depressed...i need to rely on my friends...." only to meet a fucked up alternate timeline version of himself and go "i need to kill this guy alone everybody stand back" is truly cold steel in a nutshell

ALSO funny that CS+ treats wazy, noel, and rixia like none of them count as sss guys so they have to constantly say "we consider ourselves part of the SSS" like it's okay guys you were all there for that stuff you're on the squad.

it's cool that they got so many of the original english VAs from the sky games back but like none of them actually fit, especially fifteen years later. telling that they recast all the ones with significant parts but i do think it's a little crazy that the main guys are all still there in sky remake

the greatest crimes of cold steel 4 and Trails into Reverie, ranked: 1. putting estelle bright in a shirtdress that fits like a bodysuit and clings to her suddenly shapely ass 2. making estelle bright a single-target physical attacker which she emphatically was not in her games 3. WHERE IS SHE

tldr my wife is spearheading a collections bucket to donate money directly to minneapolis residents who need urgent rent relief, we’ve raised $2000 so far, and if you want to contribute you can do it right here: venmo.com/u/sarahislam25

these fuckers think they can send the national guard to give protestors coffee and donuts and we’ll forget who was gassing people on their front porches in 2020. they think we’ll stop talking about the fucking checkpoint they set up around whittier, last week. it’s not ice doing that one.

seeing more and more posts, and hearing it more and more irl, even from people who live here, being like “wow who would have guessed that all this ICE stuff would make the MPD look like the good guys!” and it makes me feel so fucking crazy dude

crystal liking that tweet less than twenty-four hours after i told her i've never been mischievous in my life is devastating to my brand. i've self-reported

women are calling me "disorienting and weird"

revisiting pathologic 1 so i can finally play pathologic 2 and i did forget a little bit that this is secretly a 100 hour game but its fine. dankovsky one of the funniest men in video games

thinking about edelys a lot lately.

15min

whenever i’m reminded that lavinia arknights has a massive insane ornate hammer i’m completely taken aback because it’s entirely a gameplay contrivance. never once is suggested to be capable of fighting anyone in either of her story events. she’s my second-most-used defender and i forget it exists

reading hunchback by saou ichikawa, a famous book about an extremely disabled pervert. breathtaking stuff happening here

thinking about how enfield is a complete narrative and thematic and aesthetic and play-wise dead end that is like deeply offensive to every possible sensibility and that it's coming out the same week arknights dropped a horror-themed yakuza story about abuse in the idol industry that looks like this

the biggest shocker of experiencing the new localization is finding out that griff's name is actually grief. guy named grief

the way you differentiate between greg bovino and the legion of middle aged butch lesbians who frequent the shitty bars in uptown minneapolis and all look exactly like him is the butch lesbians are out here fucking women every weekend and everyone thinks they're cool

if you’re not in minneapolis and you want a place to kick money, the big rent relief fund for our highest-concentration immigrant neighborhood is less than 10k from their goal for february. it would be a big help just to take pressure off some of the most vulnerable www.gofundme.com/f/support-ph...

thing about rean schwarzer is he does genuinely look way better with his glasses

it only took ten games for SOMEONE to say “you guys have to stop calling people the Golden Rakshasa and The Almighty Conflagration. not everybody needs one”

persona 5x is set up in such a way where you can accidentally go months without checking in on somebody’s social link so i kind of forgot that motoha has a THIRD, EVIL baseball childhood friend except this one is making her do a home run contest where motoha has to essentially marry her if she loses

tale of tales appearance in 2026…crystal is so smart…and not just because there is an ina cameo on this list…

Special guest KB writes about living with the horrors in the first-person radio astronomy simulator Voices of the Void! What spooks you? What gets you twitchy and checking to make sure there’s nothing unexpected behind you? What gets you second-guessing noises and reading intent into ambience?

one of my favorite parts of watching star trek is pointing out which episodes have mass effect quests directly ripping them off

the most embarrassing thing about my pathologic fandom is i played that game in high school and the original localization is just like fully rooted in my mind in ways that i still can’t wash out. i keep calling her the devotress even though that doesn’t even make as much sense as changeling

trails (largely since cold steel but ceossbell was edging into this territory) has a deeply immature sense of what Being Oppressed By A State looks like but Reverie did get me with the way small businesses in an occupied city are locking their doors and only opening if you knock and look trustworthy

here’s a linktree of vetted community-run minneapolis mutual aid funds ranging from wide housing, legal and food organization to regularly updated lists of requests for individuals and families in need. if you have something to give and don’t know where to push it rn linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

hello everyone please read my really good thoughts about 2025 in gaming here

i’ve asked so many people this morning what they think the persona 5x dog girl’s last name is and every single one of them has guessed a variation of inu-something. every single one of them is WRONG her name is runa DOGENZAKA you HUMORLESS FOOLS

probably the best running bit in trails is whenever a character gets to tell someone else about the time they spent the length of a game trapped in real life canonical hell because it never comes up in a dramatic context. it's only ever a piece of casual trivia

i cannot believe my hard earned money is going toward the development of new video games where girls who used to wear glasses suddenly stop wearing them and also their boobs double in size. trails is over dude.

the pathologic bachelor route is about being a guy who's too stupid to realize that like 90 people are individually jerking you around for two weeks straight just because they all appealed to your ego the first day you got into town

one of the lowkey best details of pathologic 1 that i assume they changed in the modern series is that the bachelor is 5’5. you know that asshole hates walking into town and immediately having to work with the chad 6’2 rubin

do you guys ever think about phantom thread being like a top ten romantic movie

i wonder how shiho wore her summer uniform #Persona5

probably feels good as hell for crystal to observe and describe specific human behaviors or media references within a generalized memetic text format

this still happens every week but tonight it was scrolling through a warhammer rulebook and asking me what i thought of every single picture in it

People are always saying to me "oh you young people never think about death." Or at least it's been said to me a few times. I just want it on record that I walk with my death, man.

the main villain of kamen rider zeztz is a hot lady in her fifties with hypnosis powers who talked about "breaking kamen rider's mind" every time she spoke this week

would i fuck this smash bros character. fbyleth only for the record

wrote a little primer on how you can be as cool as i am 🤙

my real complaint with pinfeather's public response is that everyone is so busy talking about how it made them feel nauseous or trying to untangle its themes that nobody is willing to admit in public how sexy it is

dantsu/pokke, hand-thrown #umamusume

okay actually one thing that's interesting about lloyd's route is that because this game barely has a plot there is a lot more space for the characters to experience doubt and reserve than there has been before in similar scenarios.
