Im really sorry about the shrimp discourse everyone

Do. Not. Use. Fucking. Sticker. Mule.

More companies should set aside money for weird side projects. Did we ask for a weird Tekken cartoon? Not at all, but I can guarantee you some 10 year-old will watch this, become obsessed with the characters and a few years later be winning some local tournaments.

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

I know this is a dumb gripe but I get incredibly annoyed seeing people use Trump's more known sayings ("they're calling it the ____est ____ of all time") and can't not read them in his horrid voice. Like, it's not as bad as "make X great again" slogans but goddamn it's close for me.

it's finally His time

saw a truck for a company called Absolute Chimneys and I can’t stop saying that to myself as if I’m an English soccer announcer calling a free kick that sailed over the crossbar

for a project the size of Godot, this is about as good as you can reasonably get. if you prohibit AI entirely, it'll just lead to people not disclosing it, which is worse for the engine in the long run. please consider the realities of maintaining a FOSS project this size before blasting them.

You may disagree, or rightly point out that consequences matter far more than motives, but my take is that the driver of the most morally repugnant decisions Starmer took was cowardice rather than malice. Maybe that's actually worse. The damage weak men can do.

It's not even July yet why the FUCK are you shaking the entire goddamned neighborhood?

I was surprised to find out that the Namco Super Heroes website was taken down not too long ago. Although I know the game is available elsewhere I decided to upload the latest version released in 2016 to Archive.org anyway, just in case archive.org/details/namc...

Today LEFLAH released a capsule collection they designed and produced that celebrates @combobreaker.org. It represents a decade of convos about fighting games, Chicagoland, and CB's events. The limited run is available in-store and online at LEFLAH.com now!

11 years ago I discovered LEFLAH during my first trip to Tokyo. In the decade since, Yoshimitsu and the shop's crew have become friends that I visit with every time I'm in Japan.

I hate signal-boosting a person's garbage opinions but merritk has *always* been like this and it'd be nice if I didn't have to see her posts ever again. (Yes I know block/mute works, more saying she's not worth your follow, your reposts, or your time.)

There's this, but also one of the worst things about these programs is how little they prepare you for the moment you fail. You're told all your life that you're smart and the moment you mess up you absolutely don't know how to deal with it. You're told you're "gifted" and now you've got nothing.

Not to be catty but some of you genuinely make yourselves so mad at the very existence of shitty people's opinions just existing out there in the ether you're essentially making people up in your head to get mad at when you should be just enjoying a good thing.

Hey @phillyb92.bsky.social I found what the B stands for. store.steampowered.com/app/4623920/...

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989) Dir. Hayao Miyazaki A lovely movie about a witch and her sassy cat (which is somehow also the definitive film about being a young freelancer experiencing creative burnout??)

Also ... look 'em up. Do you read to *not* learn new things?

(Wife describing trivia night at a bar for a work event, theme was robots) Wife: And there was a video game character, it was 'something boy', I thought 'Metroid' Me: That's the game, she's Samus, she's a human Wife: It had Boy, what was it...*grabs her phone*...it was this Me: ..that's Mega Man

Not my best work, but felt like this was what's on the menu for Bsky today.

After two years of research I made public a database of fighting games that are playable in some form on Windows 100% manually made in 90's HTML code that looks like shit on mobile. There's a lot of work left but I hope it will be helpful for some people hanagumi.denpa.cl/fightingdb/

i think ppl gotta talk about the stuff they like more and shut the fuck up if they don't more not saying criticism is unwelcome but it should be pointed, focused, and articulated you also gotta have your own personal spring of joy -- what feeds and informs the rest of you?

My main carryaway from this isn’t Trump‘s narcissism or his sociopathy, which are expected and known, but his consternation that he is getting asked about it by foreign press. It just shows how little he gets asked by US media, about the dozens of school children he murdered. He expects enablement.

If you murdered dozens of schoolchildren, everyone should stop talking about it if you say it was through incompetence rather than malice, especially if it was literally 3 or even 4 months in the distant past.

I really, really, really hope that something we can encourage with our library. I want a general audience to be able to tell better histories than summarizing Wikipedia and remembering a game at you

Happy World Cup, everyone

The urge to give up will find you from time to time. You must never give it space to take root.

I saw this before I drove off from work, picked up my kid from my mom's, she says "I watched Spirited Away with Grandma today." God. 35. Way too young.
