People are so weird about alcohol. The people who drink alcohol are weird about it. The people who don’t drink alcohol are weird about it. I don’t really understand why it’s treated so differently than literally everything else.

Thanksgiving tradition

boomers have been shooting each other in call of duty, counterstrike, and battlefield forever. thats all that generation does

It’s our chief export to the world.

What an amazingly deep game for 1992. Should I play Final Fantasy VI next?

This port has everything except flaccid whip.

I don’t think he should speak but I think a fairy should constantly pester him with “Hey! listen!”

Of the vast many science communicators I listen to, she is my favorite.

Quick question but wasn’t there a word for systemically killing indigenous people?

Honestly more people should question the fact that at birth someone can say “we observe an innie” and that this voodoo somehow predicts a million things extremely specific to your culture that could only possibly be explained by chromosomes. Shit is more sus than casting lots and it’s enforced.

Facts.

Maybe she is the new singer of Nevermore?

Soundtracks Chrono Trigger > Secret of Mana > Final Fantasy VI How have you all been wrong so long?

They are mocking you.

Today’s the day! 🌟

The other day I had a ricochet biscuit A ricochet biscuit is the kind of a biscuit That's supposed to bounce back off the wall Into your mouth, if it don't bounce back, you go hungry Bow bow bow

To be fair it was really only ever a dozen or so gamerbro weirdos who couldn’t take the idea that we don’t all love the exact same stuff in the exact same amount. But they were super aggressive about it.

Is this Gabe’s vehicle?

This despite the party of FFV being 50% female for the first two third and 75% female for the remainder.

@blot.city hey have you ever heard this band called Fughu from Argentina? youtu.be/xeqUj--PwZk

You ever see a stranger praying so hard that without knowing why your heart breaks a little and you want to pray with him despite not sharing his faith? Yeah. I hope whatever it is works out.

Anne Frank on pickling your brain in the 24-hour news cycle:

I thought I knew how to play this game until I met this guy.

puberty blockers are preventative medicine, so it makes sense that there is so much overlap with transphobia and vaccine resistance. or as I call it, rationalized stupidity.

My actual hottest take is that Michael Anthony was the best singer who was ever in Van Halen (and Dave sucks).

I’ve been asking for this for so long.

Some things you may not know about the Sega Saturn: Best bespoke sound hardware of any console Best bespoke sprite hardware of any console Best controller of all time Best fighting game of all time VF2 Best shooter of all time Radiant Silvergun Best brawler of all time Guardian Heroes

Hell yeah!

Hot Take: Square should sell all the things it isn’t willing to rerelease themselves. Sell BOF back to Capcom. Sell Quintet as a package. Sell Vagrant Story.

All this Grok shit is a perfect reminder that LLMs retain the biases of their programmers, but also that they don’t understand context or the physical laws that govern the material world, because they don’t understand anything.

Two of my favorite consoles have a birthday today. Sega Saturn launched in Japan on this day in 1994 and Xbox 360 launched this day in US in 2005. So much happened to both companies after this high point.

If final fantasy shaped why is hair pointy?

Remember when some loser gamerbro tried to cancel me for not supporting Bolsonaro?

Crazy that the type of people who talk to strangers in public bathrooms were put in charge of England.

I fell asleep listening to YouTube and had a dream that a video game store employee was spoiling every tiny aspect of a game so I was plotting to murder him.

Compare and contrast the Government language. £3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’. Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’. And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

Oh, ok.

Just saw someone try to pull “Trust me, I’m an NPD” and that is somehow actually worse than “trust me, I’m an LLM” (yet remarkedly similar).

Photo of suspect at nearby diner

you ever think about how cars are designed to crash but planes are designed to avoid a crash. i wonder if this affects anything

Now that no one cares what I think and I don’t have men telling me I’m not allowed to have video game opinions, I want to share something with you. I don’t actually love every video games and console. It’s true.

One of these photos shows 3I/ATLAS as captured by an amateur. The other shows the same as captured by NASA in its closest position.

14G of it is just some dude’s annoying voice.

Why AI can’t be trusted. It can be programmed to say any old shit.

Man I just can’t with people today.

I think I want to get in fights with people comparing Plur1bus with Lost. Gilligan knows how to plot and Abrams does not.

Hideo Kojima and Geoff Keighley

Redacting the name to not single someone out (and also because you can’t actually criticize accounts with large followings) but this shit is so fucking useless. No one needs your shame and regret. Give someone a job, help with food housing and medical, support them, and stop whitewashing history.

Loneliness epidemic driven primarily by people not having access to Saturn multitap.
