Honestly ISTTG kinda summed it up well enough, they're a character I performed, and they are now dead and buried youtu.be/57JsAJth0EQ?...

It’s true that Square Enix loves going all in on the stupidest bubble shit imaginable and then never bringing it up when it crashes but it’s also worth pointing out how uniquely bad and late they are at investing in scams.

awhile ago someone said to me that squenix's core problem is that they have "duke nukem forever brain" and any time news like this comes around i think about that

i added her gf to the doodle

The mayor-elect has opened a portal, and now our only hope of closing the great rift under New York City and holding back the Warp, at the cost of the sacrifice of 1000 psykers every day, is Eric Adams bound upon the Golden Throne

“one of my GOTY is [checks notes] the experience of discovering discomfort in my personal relationship to labor and time” (this is Time Bandit by the way and I really recommend trying to play it and accepting its logic and demands and seeing what it uncovers to you)

there was a point when I thought that calling genAI "the aesthetics of fascism" might be a bit much, but as far as I can tell reactionary backwards-looking false consciousness nostalgia and/or the laziest corporate advertising possible is basically the overwhelming central use case for it, so...

Had to share this from twitter just because

and it's a bummer and unfair that the police can just decide to refuse to follow the law, and that business associations etc will flood the zone with propaganda declaring any attempt at a better world a miserable failure But you have to meet that shit head on and riposte. It can't be avoided.

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things. we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

The world is bleak but at least for the next couple of months we will have a steady supply of technocrat libs and establishment dems loudly shrinking and turning into corncobs

now the real work begins

Ah, feathers. There's a bit in this script that would be SO PERFECT to be read by a couple of the voice actors from Knights of Guinevere and now I can't think of it any other way. ... what would it cost to get about 137 words read by SungWon Cho, I wonder? (plz do not tag him, I am musing idly)

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

I've wanted a nice cloak for the longest time but it's bloody difficult to find anything that isn't some paper-thin synthetic cosplay prop with stitching that'll rip in a stiff breeze. I need something that'll ward off the wind and won't soak through in a light drizzle rrgh

death at the claw machine like "fucking FINALLY" today

eyyy lmao dick cheney fucking died

help me

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...

Well shit, housing really IS about to become a lot cheaper in NYC

I know it's tedious to say at this point, but this is why we need to listen when porn artists and sex workers raise the alarm about this shit. Art and people that can be dismissed as "immoral" are ALWAYS the thin end of the wedge when the powers that be try and assert control over entire systems.

Husk oughta be husky!

Chompers obsessed… ✨ #sett #soraka

Terry Pratchett's "boots theory" is now inaccurate in most cases as even the most expensive 'boots' are designed to fall apart so rich folk buy more. An astoundingly clear sign that Bad Things allowed to happen to Any of us eventually affect All of us.

Getting real good at bread recently

The fact that [SPOILER A] finally got to see [SPOILER B] again in the latest chapter of One Piece got me teary eyed in the morning lads

i need to get around to the final fantasy tactics remake to see if they kept this scene in

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

every time i see the simpsons fortnite trailer getting posted

Loam: A rich, fertile soil composed of sand, silt, clay and humus.

I maintain that there has never been another piece of video game music with Vibes like the Tristram theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Pe...

I'd do something like this too, honestly, if only I hadn't gone and made so many of my distractions also my job lol

I've found a lot of success putting Picross games on my Switch and then exclusively playing them while walking on my treadmill. I put some MILES away doing that. Normally exercise is almost physically painfully boring to me.

I did some good writing for Rogue this past week! This one is pay-walled but I spoke to horror devs and horror author @scumbelievable.bsky.social about the growing trend of economic horror as a sub-genre in gaming

it's embarrassing how well this works for me. when my adhd brain is Getting Bad, literally just sealing away its drugs of choice makes a huge difference to my brain state Rogue Trader had to go, PowerWash Simulator 2 had to go, every single picross game had to go

omw

Thinkin’ about Olson’s Line Goes Up and how the technology of NFTs/Crypto flopped but the desire to turn life into a series of financial gambles someone can benefit from very much lives on in the hearts of the morally bankrupt
