Man, amazing how from when I was a kid growing up in a very right wing home that I hated liberals, and now I'm 34, very lefty, and hate liberals again.

Rest in legends.

This is so true. It's why so many old horror novels are "I'm visiting an old friend from university days, I need solititude and to go on long walks through ruins or the moors". Cue: the suspicious locals, the strange creature in the window/side of road, the nighttime whispers or a beautiful woman.

I was 46 years old as of today when learned that the dark fantasy films I loved growing up were all made by the same cineatographer. Alex Thomson quite literally invented the way I think of fantasy in my head for 40 years.

If you're Gen X or elder Millenial and you feel gaming has left you behind, lacking any appeal, being too colorful and ADHD, then I highly recommend playing cozy lo-fi indie horror/exploration games. They look like something you spent an hour printing a 42kb FAQ for in 1996.

Art pic, but this was my TCG in the 90s. I was mad that Ravenloft and Dark Sun expansions were more expensive because those were my favorite worlds and I was in my early teens and broke.

I finished painting this lady death knight:

So not even Reddit is safe anymore.

I'm about to have 700 gigs of screenshots and videos. Hearing that FF7 Rpt3 (Reunion? Returns?) might be on Steam Day 1 and Rebirth releasing recently, I decided I can sit back and finally get immersed. I needed a bit epic game and so the #1 game on my backlog for 5 years has begun.

All right, fine. It's time. The rainy day has arrived.

I remember when rivalry pushed for innovation. But modern capitalism realized that you can make a lot more money teaming up. As an embarrassingly, obessively pro-consumer kid, I would have been crazy for this.

Extremely anxious today. I'm waiting for the emergency anti-anxiety meds to kick in, then I'm going to play indie horror games.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

I've said this before, but if you're a lover of fantasy journeys, I highly recommend this book even if it's the only western you ever read. It's up there with LOTR as one of the great, sweeping, and moving journeys of all time. Then go watch the nearly 40 year old miniseries because it holds up.

Me and my wife don't agree on certain things, but our takes on David Bowie and NIN are radically less important than killing American civilians, disappearing protestors from their homes, and the start of an actual genocide of Latinos.

They keep DOING this shit. "I'm going to comment on how I don't support this horrible thing Trump is doing" and then a week later "I'm not sure you realized this, but Trump's penis is HUGE. Absolutely enormous."

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

I went to the theatre to watch Star Trek: Into Darkness and there was a power cut after like 10 min and they gave us all refunds and I still haven't seen it because every time I tell this story someone who has seen it is like "wow wish I was that lucky"

Ah, another day, another "the kid changed his Discord tag and updated his Instagram to show he has a new boyfriend but will never ever tell us until he's struggling with relationship drama a month down the road".

This is wild. We've had government officials and now even a former president being like "yep, they're real - anyway..." Imagine telling this to Ryan age 10.

So we're going into a "weeks" (translation: years) war with Iran. We're going to soak the Iranian soil with the blood of young Americans to cover up the global pdfs in the files. And to please our bosses in Russia and Israel. I hope the worst happens to everyone in this faux administration.

It was a dark night, sleeping over at grandma's. The Gparents brought me to their best friends' house across the street because they wanted to drink and play cards. In the shadowy downstairs living room, the only light was the TV, making their grandson's face glow as he played Simon's Quest...

Wait wait, Zohran, come back! You misheard what we were asking for!

You know James Van Der Beek was beloved when this is the first week in decades I haven't seen a single Dawson's Creek crying meme or his Wired (?) meme face gifs.

I’ve been to this timeline. Kamala, the cop, becomes president and gets a hold of the Epstein list and everyone goes to prison. I ended up leaving because in this universe there is no Mountain Dew Baja blast zero.

Its Friday the 13th! What could go wrong? Basically just stay inside and don't move a muscle. I do that anyways on Fridays so I'm alright, lol

Controversial opinion: there IS something I LOVE about Elon Musk. I love that he's the wealthiest man in the world, with dozens of children, occasional political power, and he's SO FUCKING MISERABLE and LONELY and RIDICULED. All his $$ can't buy him immortality or happiness or unconditional love.

I'd watch it.

its real...

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash

The amount of screaming I did when this was announced. Dead Cells developers doing a Castlevania game?

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a host to public health and the environment based on science? TRUMP: I tell them don't worry about it. This was all a scam. They'll have more money to spend for healthcare.

Okay okay yes, I know, but hear me out - we HAD this TV growing up. This was what we listened to Chipmunks Beatles and The Wall records. 8 tracks. It broke so we bought a black and white tv to put on top of it so we could watch the Ewoks movie.

Very sorry if this sounds sexist, but she was more like those models who would hold up signs at E3 back in the day, representing the president, instead of someone who is supposed to be defending justice. When your response to justice is to bring up finance, you are clearly unfit for the job.

More monsters revealed to have been on Kid Rock Island.

A close friend in Maine reports that things are terrible there, as much as in MN, short of the executions in the street (so far). I don't know why we don't see much about it in the news. I see an occasional hint here, but she says she has family out protesting and witnessing in a bigger city.

He made a game that's title and concept is a play on eugenics. I was already out there - I'm not a prude, I dug the horror of BOI, but making light of eugenics as an American where it's being utilized by the state as we speak? "Hard pass". And then I saw the names involved...

My heart goes out to Hookland, the king on the deck of ravens, on this Woden's Day.

"Unbelievable that this little piece of junk could be such a big problem. No wonder this circuit failed, it says made in Japan." "What do you mean doc, all the best stuff is made in Japan." "Unbelievable." A graphic adventure based on the first BTTF movie, released for Japanese micros in 1986.

Serial Experiments Lain is a cautionary, deeply political story about how cool the Sharp X68000 looked, and what would happen if computers kept looking like that.
