theres a great book called the lazy genius way and one question it recommends u use is "what can i do today to make tomorrow easier?" but i gotta say cait's version is much funnier

Sometimes when the stakes are appropriate, a judgmental nature digivolves into a discerning mind.

I bought a humble bundle of all of Shultzs Peanuts comics and have been reading them in chronological order and its interesting seeing how characters changed thruout the years

MY DAD: they've really got exfill down to a science at ME: wait dad plays Marathon?? DAD: our church's VBS

Hi as a queer trans man who has never left rural areas and spent a third of his life as a political and community organizer in the rural south you do not take food from the mouths of children because of the sins of the parents unless you're a fucking fascist.

Nothing's worse than listening to an album that just dropped from a band you absolutely love and it's just mediocre. Like it's just there, no fun experimental bits, it's just a rehash of their late 2000s early 2010s sound but with less overdrive guitar and guest vocalists

i cant drink bc ill get terrible nightmares for the week after, i can't do drugs bc i have weird rxns to lotsa meds & need to do random drug tests, and now my body has decided that i can't even eat dorritos w/out getting hives. im being isolated from my culture (college student)

Buddy I have news for you about basically every company in history and media specifically

Extremely “tenured since 1993” take.

Lovely happenstance on my popular with friends feed today

Of the Devil is great bc its a noir but you play as the femme fatale instead of the grizzled detective #ofthedevil

imagine if they fired every band member every time an album came out

A bit of good news in the middle of all the bloodbath today: Supercell has announced a Grants program for game development studios across Africa with equity-free grants of USD $20,000–$200,000 to help them reach their next stage of growth. supercell.com/en/news/deve...

If I hear or read a word I haven't seen before I like to look up it's definition and then copy it to Google notes but I just realized I could post it here instead. I'm gonna try to keep the definitions in this thread so if you don't care, you can easily mute it

I must also retract my belief that Mrs Bennet should have a gun, a regrettable misreading of her character. I do, however, think it would be very funny if we gave Lydia a gun.

Im sure this has definitely been said before but in blue prince doesn't SWNSNG just mean swansong? Like that could correspond to ur uncle building such a beautiful, complicated house as his last deed or something. Is it really still a mystery??

Reality check: is that media character really a "failgirl", or is she just thirty?

Bc I hit my health insurance deductible in February, now all of my prescribed medications are fully covered with insurance so I don't have to pay a dime out-of-pocket when picking them up from the pharmacy and honestly it feels amazing

TIL there’s tax-advantaged bank account (ABLE / 529A) specifically for disabled folks. It’s primarily get around SSI savings limits, but even if you’re not on SSI, if you qualify you can contribute $20k/year w/ tax-free growth if withdrawn for qualified expenses (which includes food and rent!)

Caves of Qud’s Jason Grinblat on Writing a Game Like a Wolfe Novel Caves of Qud is not your usual RPG. Last year it won the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work and the Independent Games Festival's award for Excellence in Narrative. That's an unusual amount of literary credibility to rack…

Pain is ouchies entering the body

I always hated watching romcoms or romance novels my (Christian conservative) friends recommended to me. Then I read one with two women instead of a woman and a man and realized I like romance i just hate reading about mediocre men who the narrative treats like the Best Guy to Ever Do It.

This has made me realize why even tho I love the idea of survival games and loved the survival-game-aspects of BOTW, I bounce off of every survival game I've ever played. I have such low executive functioning that time management reads as work to my brain www.gamedeveloper.com/design/resou...

Little Dramas of Old Bakersfield is a fascinating book written by a peddler who grew up and worked in the town, about the people who lived in Bakersfield in the 1890s, and also about how Bakersfield has kinda sucked ever since its inception

And for the lady, perhaps 100 hours hyper fixating on a new video game?

I love ghost trick so much its main gameplay mechanic is unique (pausing time to possess and manipulate objects to make an elaborate Rube Goldberg machine) it's story is fantastic, it's short, it has a unique artstyle, and has the funniest take on the amnesiac male protagonist that I've ever seen

In other news my terminally offline Christian mother is aware of the anime Ghost in the shell bc they apparently have a perfume that smells inhuman #fragrance #perfume #ghostintheshell #ghostinshell #gis #gits

when i first played wolfenstein at 6 years old, i didn't understand first-person and thought i was the gun

I came across a book report I made in elementary school and kid me was apparently unimpressed with Hurry Home Candy by Meindert DeLong

I listened to the entirety of Platform Decay, the new Murderbot Diaries book, in airports, while waiting 2 hrs for a hotel shuttle, and while in flight and to be honest I think that was how the book was meant to be experienced. It's like reading the Odyssey in the original Greek #murderbot

Me in earlyish 2025: I wish internet slang would stop just being appropriated AAVE [monkeys paw curls] [maxxing and mogging become mainstream]

To every dev using genAI in their game: thank you for helping keep my wishlist manageably small.

I looked up gamergate to send an article to a friend who didn't know what it was and grokipedia showed up on the first page of results and surprise surprise lies about it to try to make Zoë Quin & everyone else look bad and drastically minimizes the extent of the threats and harassment i'm so mad

dude you gotta love people. thats the whole point. if youre not loving people what are you even doing

[rips my shirt off werewolf style] i love sea slugs!!!!!!!!!!

I'm lobbying for everywhere to use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius bc its more intuitive and I like it more. However, if they really don't want to use Fahrenheit, I am merciful and will allow them to use Rankine instead (kelvin but each degree is the same temperature changs as Fahrenheit)

Funniest post to disable replies from non-followers lol

@prokopetz.bsky.social 2 of my cousins (12&10) are making their own D&D clone by using the rule books for tables n stuff but using cards instead of dice (every player uses 1 deck) and not having any levels. It seems like they're trying to go for a low fantasy tone. Do you think they'd like D&D 4e?

Does your local tech company understand consent? > Yes! > Maybe later

You don’t suffer the repercussions of 100% of the shots you don’t take

I am closeted but it seems like the world itself is trying to out me. My mom mentioned she sent me a American girl doll personality quiz (says something about you based on your favorite one). I immediately told her oh my favs Molly right before I opened the quiz to this:

Your job is to pick the worst actor to play James Bond

It's crazy how exclusively using my phone in black and white mode has really helped me use it less. I didn't think it'd have that much of an effect since I mainly use text-based social media platforms n stuff but here I am

Maggie Rodgers and Sylvan Esso's cover of Anthem for a 17 yr old is so good I thought it was the original until last year. They really souped up the melody and made it have a wider tonal range duckduckgo.com?t=fpas&q=Syl...

So, from my understanding, it works on the same principle of plasma forming from microwaving a grape, but on a much smaller scale I guess?

Of course Canvas goes down three hours AFTER my final exam why Lord Ive seen what you do for others and I want it for me
