They should make a Princess and the Frog level in Kingdom Hearts so that Sora can fight the Heartless in N’ortleans Send post

steam: this game is already running me: and is the game that's already running with us in the room right now?

China has announced that they have developed a Sydney Sweeny that runs entirely on clean energy, actually feeding it back into the grid.

One of the few universals in game design is that anything that breaks the normal action economy of a game is usually very good to broken, case in point every pokémon ability that does something on switching in: Intimidate, Hospitality, weather setters, etc

last night I dreamed that Final Fantasy Origins: Stranger Of Paradise released a Streamer Update that added - in the bottom-left corner of every cutscene - a Bathos Counter

unfortunately for everyone else, I personally think that Divinity Original Sin 2 handles “choosing who will be in your party” better than any other CRPG.

justice should do an album that's all music for sickos. i do not want to "do the dee ay en see ee", i want to hear a dubstep remix of Saint-Saëns' Dance Macabre over six different industrial beats

@thaliarchus.bsky.social do you have any advice on finding the Germanic equivalent of a French word? this has come up a few times in the course of my tabletop prep and, well, germanic words ~sound more magic~

Imagine Takeshi Koike taking a swing at that shit.

I’m not a meme guy but I like this one

This glass bowl has had quite the journey. Made by Italian glassblowers sometime in the late 1st century BC, it made its way to Britain before the Romans even arrived and ended up buried at Stanway in what archaeologists call the Warrior's Burial, carefully placed inside a wood box around AD 40–50.

Guy only now realising the unwisdom of ordering air fryers on the phone as the Dominican pathfinders land around him.

@thaliarchus.bsky.social re: your post on rhyme: i have personally found that some of the most fun rhyming work occurring in contemporary English is in rap music. which is absolutely an aural culture (reading the lyrics does not count as hearing a rap song)

"Unlike RAM or affordable housing, it’s pretty easy to get a concussion"

everything is a UI problem, except memory allocation, which is witchcraft

Oh then it’s the reason by hoobastank. I want it to be a song i actually liked but it’s probably not allowed to be

Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately their government needs to be at least 18 years old with four doctors to sign off first

Google makes it look like he died in the Clone Wars

@guykatsu.bsky.social guy i want you to know i crossposted this to bsky for you specifically

dreamed last night that the rat emoji had come to symbolize “bedraggled and morally dubious old man I’d like to fuck” AND that if you used multiple rat emojis sequentially, that meant the man in question was EXTRA old or EXTRA bedraggled or EXTRA morally dubious

me, typing into a search engine: "so does ultrakill have the forest of suicides or what" the search results: "yeah that's level 7-3" ultrakill is truly a game

LRT: the LED thing is surely part of it but I have seen netflix manage to underlight outside. outside! where the sun is! THE SUN!

I've read/watched a lot about this topic because it drives me crazy and a few reasons come up often: * Shorter timelines = less time lighting. * Shooting digital allows them more latitude to correct in post, but that doesn't make it look *good*. * LED lights don't reproduce classic Fresnel lighting.

It's true—Big Misery put us up to it. They paid off Valve and all the gaming sites. They're a powerful lobbying group and they just really, really want to make people experience moral horror

every cat ever represented here

The only "industry plant" you should concern yourself with is the humble hemp, which is a critical input into all kinds of manufacturing from cord making to bioplastics

mariners in fine mariner form i see

LRT: once i was on a road trip with my partner and our friend and we put on picaresque at the end of the album, my friend said "are there ANY happy songs on that album???" and my partner and i both argued that the mariner's revenge song is cheerful because the narrator gets what he wants

it's obviously the mariner's revenge song. it has everything millennials unnaccountably love: selfconscious anachronism, whales, overwrought I'm-just-a-little-guy destitution, trenchant but kind of shallow critique of toxic masculinity, opportunities for loose theater kid behavior,

'Oh, I'm at the north pole of the Sun' I don't say as unimaginable energy eliminates me faster than thought.

i love baseball

new tabletop dungeon-making meta just dropped: - go to wolframalpha.com - type in "random graph N nodes X edges" (I find values of X that are roughly 1.25 times N work best, but you do you) - each node is a dungeon room. this is your dungeon map now

One of the things I discovered during my first trip to Portland was how readily available mushroom foraging books were. Any given cafe would have some, bookstores obv., gas stations, grocery stores, etc. And yes, they all read just like this.

The cubus

On this May 4th I am remembering how in the short brilliant life of Cohost @dimosar.bsky.social made not one but two of the best Star Wars posts in history

A lot of quotes of this one assuming she matched the prosthetics to the outfit but it's actually the opposite, gold is her default color and the rest of it is meant to match with that

If this post accurately describes you, you may enjoy the Steam Controller:

Oh your boyfriend? Yeah… sorry… the Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon your boyfriend, and have carried him away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

been playing Tyranny Video Game. nearly done with my first playthrough. this game would be so good if it was good

bronze age collapse SOLVED

I know about this from watching Post Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)

my partner kept saying "what in tarnation" last night while he was working on a board design. so i worked on this

[0006602] All sentient animals when greeted have TRANS_NAME]

the plot of Metal Gear Solid becomes more believable as you get older and realize that yeah, your boss probably would spend millions of dollars cloning one lightly insane but reasonably competent employee rather than try to hire and train someone new

The video is beautiful

ISAAC CHOTINER: So, the food bowl. It's empty, you say? CAT: That's right. IC: And has it ever not been empty? C: Not that I can recall, no, it has not. IC: Fascinating. And this bit of food caught in your whiskers, where would you say that's- C: Now hold on, this is about the bowl, not
