It is, in fact, Metroid Prime 4 time. I shall do my best to resist posting images and making commentary, and just focus on enjoying the game.

So long as videogames don't expect me to be good at them, I don't mind playing them.

"I think I become more coherent when I speak with my mouth full."

Watching the old video of Rin playing Peggle, and thinking that Peglin is probably just... strictly better. But I guess I couldn't fault people for wanting to play the less complex game.

"Good enough is the enemy of fucking based."

I don't remember where the quote about grabbing the wrong end of entirely the wrong stick is from, but seeing certain arguments tends to make me think of it.

I got my comeuppance for boasting to Dylan how much better I was at cooking rice than a rice cooker. For the first time in I don't know how many years I managed to actually burn the rice. It's fine on top, but the very bottom layer has gotten stuck. What a blow to my self-esteem.

Every time I hear someone say "mary sue character" it makes me think "oh, are you one of those people?"

If Piglet had a big brother, would he be called Biglet?

godspeed, Kanata. You were the best

Social media is full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped results — while Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads. As long as Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they don’t need (and don’t deserve) free advertising on our social feeds.

Today's shower-thought: It's wild to think about how many companies would rather go out of business than treat their employees fairly.

My 3rd most popular tweet is a reply and more people deserve to see it; a line that still makes me laugh every time I drink a soda.

OC!!

It's not 'Self ID' When it comes to legal gender recognition. It's Self Declaration/Determination. 'Self ID' was popularised by the anti-gender movement. It transposes a negative pop psychology term onto a legal framework based on the human rights to dignity, privacy & bodily autonomy.

now imagining a AAA game where you can talk to anyone about anything and they have to slop yellow paint on the dialogue boxes to indicate when conversations have been authored to contribute to the actual game story

you smile so wide, I can see the sides

just to remind y’all that in this context wholesome is a dogwhistle that is opposite of “degenerate”. i.e. fascist shit. like Bee pointed out, this is already a lie because most lesbian books are, indeed, wholesome (becuase they are controlled by a deeply conservative industry run by mormons)

リクエスト⑤ グランブルーファンタジーより ガレヲンさん ノーガードの横が魅力的だったので…

I don't want to judge a book by its cover because I really like Bioshock 1 but: A. this anecdote really explains the story from three years ago where people describe how working for Ken was hell B. the premise for Judas reads as no joke parody of the kind of CHOICES MATTER game plots from his era

Sometimes I'll see a reference to, mention of, or artwork of something old that still annoys me, and I'll think to myself "yeah, I know how to hold a grudge".

i can’t get anything done cause my brain has this looping

Been going back and forth in my mind about it since I saw the news last night and have concluded that, yes, I do expect organisations to stand up and fight transmisogynistic legal challenges - even if it means that organisation ceases to exist.

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

on scrandle I just saw an ice cream sandwich which was literally ice cream between two slices of bread

Sometimes there's something I really want to gush about. At length, and in detail. But I genuinely believe no one wants to listen to that, so I just don't want to bother anyone about it.

I love both of my babies equally
