you know the vibes

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

fuck…Yamcha is mentioned in the Epstein files

My latest on games that make you feel like a GAMER

'Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone you have to build a civilization. Which is where the spirit cards come in'

i know that nintendo does not send advance codes to people who don't work at official outlets (or who are doing ad work for them or something like that) but i think they should make an exception for me for metroid prime 4 because i am an official metroid outlet in and of myself

Holy shit finally an Op-Ed that Gets It

There’s a lot of “well the Luka trade is actually a win for the Mavs” level delusion/gaslighting/coping happening on the internet this morning

Good job New York, now Zohran Mamdani is gonna enact SARIA’S LAW (everyone gets a free ocarina)

Super happy an actual progressive won the election, but I also want to reiterate: Cuomo sucks super hard, and I’m excited his no-accountability ass is outta here. Hope I never see him or hear from him ever again

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

Once more, for old times’ sake

There’s a possibility I played basketball in middle school against the current NYC mayor-elect

I can’t believe it, something good fucking happened

As someone who does not live in New York, my desire is simple and, perhaps, a little self-serving: I would like to never see Cuomo's stupid fuckin' face or hear his stupid fuckin' voice ever again. It'd be great if that creep just lost this election and went away forever.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

there are so many reasons to not throw trans people under the bus, but it's worth noting that Dems "dropping" this issue in favor of votes isn't working electorally and is also making everything else worse

I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it. All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

At this point voting for Cuomo isn't too different from voting for Trump as far as I'm concerned

oh just straight up gutter racism!

honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

It never occurs to these Times columnists that maybe this “leftist dogma” might be right about some things

do NOT sleep on this game

(correctly) pointing out how badly this misunderstands the Revolution misses the point. These people have no coherent ideology and aren't trying to; they digest any imagery involving a heroic individual doling out violence and imagine themselves doing it to whoever they insist deserves it.

to win elections the democrats need to shift even more right than the republicans. that way they can capture moderates and conservatives. and the left should still vote for the democrats

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

All my life I was told I was Jewish, I was stopped by Hasids on the streets asking me to wrap Tefillin, I was invited to Jewish holidays from strangers, etc. The ONLY time I’ve been told I’m NOT a real Jew is when I criticize Israel. Go fuck yourself Alex

I think, ultimately, this is why Mamdani had a chance in the first place. It’s that NYC voters want free buses, we just like that someone actually has ideas targeted at helping people who need it and makes those ideas the crux of their platform

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?” No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

Sitting at a table of gamer dudes: ok so fire emblem three houses was the worst. Just too much dialogue. *dudes all nod in assent* Me: oh this is suddenly not a safe space

Halo on PlayStation news explained in NBA terms

Want to know what it's like to make dresses, but have little patience for sewing? Check out the prototype for Dressmaker: punishedbacklog.com/dressmaker-i...

All the tech that made this possible should be legislated out of existence. It simply should not be allowed in any form.

Andrew Cuomo is basically just Trump now

No shock that a contributor to an easily anticipated disaster/disgrace was the NEW YORK JETS

The best part of Mortal Kombat 1 is that there's a detailed, well-made story mode with real lore and good character writing, but then you get in a fight and you remember that this is very much Mortal Kombat lol

My latest review!

Going to start handing out sidequests to people in the park

I want the mariners to win for many reasons but mainly because they have a high concentration of players who look like 90s baseball guys

video games will only be art when people aren't asking if games are art

they got SODERBERGH to agree to a Star Wars movie and THEY said no?!?!?

Well at least I know there’s no point in watching the Giants the rest of this year

If the news were just this everyday the world would be perfect

I think each Mass Effect has components that, if all combined into one experience, is the greatest RPG of all time. They’re not combined, however, so playing the trilogy as is remains a fascinating experience

My latest!

I genuinely miss when gamers who posted vids online about hating stuff were immediately laughed at and turned into memes instead of creating multimillion dollar neo-nazi empires

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.
