Its 1 am and I am posting in the group chats

Sorry for the quote of a quote, but anyways Im looking at making some blog posts to better justify the money i spend on the blog each month. Anyone lmk if this topic is remotely of interest for me to make a blog about lol

I think this is probably my most important complaint about so many character designs (in many senses of the phrase). People are varied and different, and presenting each character as "oh you look at them and just know what theyre about" doesnt show the breadth of real personalities people have irl

Kinda sucks that there's like only one evil healer in Overwatch. Makes them feel too similar imo.

this is the last physics video for a bit. and I didn't even get to do any physics.

The worst sign of our political landscape is that I now know the difference between Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon

Almost got me lmao

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

J.K. Rowling's anti-trans bigotry and the alt-right pipeline she's personified require her to undermine and perpetuate real misogyny, so she's browbeating a woman almost half her age who has already been subjected to plenty of sexual violence for playing Hermione spitfirenews.com/p/jk-rowling...

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Right wingers in 2017: Dumb libs think words are violence Right wingers in 2025: Words are violence and we're going to throw you in jail for saying the wrong ones, which is terrorism bsky.app/profile/atru...

Again, EA is about to become part-owned by a state that believes LGBTQ+ people who express their sexuality should face the death penalty. It's important to push EA to make it clear what it now stands for.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

I am grumpy. This is me being grumpy on main. Harumph

In a dream world I would love to see more mainstream coverage that focuses on “hey so videogames can be really interesting - here’s a step by step process on how to access them, where to look, and hardware needed explained in the simplest terms”

Games have a huge culture problem. Steam is a scary website full of violence, semi-porn and nazi forum dudes. PlayStation foregrounds AAA only. No one outside the industry knows GOG exists. The app/play stores are grift upon grift. Nintendo feels close to functional at least but is walled

New guy at the pizza place taking my order Triple checked with me that I wanted lettuce on my poutine lmao

just guess

It's draining to realise xenophobic rhetoric has become so pervasive that a reasonable leftwing person may find themselves saying 'oi, don't go associating the 'good' immigrants with those 'bad' ones in boats'. If we respond to 'immigrants are evil' with 'not all immigrants' then we've already lost.

it was the early 2000s, we were all playing kingdom hearts, the schwinn stingray was the hottest bike on the streets, garage bands, suburban sunsets, ganging up on your muslim classmates and terrorizing them, complaining about how the asian kids’ food smelled, the vice principal covering up molestat

Another fantastic article by Rascal! It goes into the history of both Shadowrun and, to a lesser extent, Battletech. Good read, and I'd really highly recommend (even moreso than usual) reading the whole article!!

Here's Michael Knowles a month ago once again calling for the "eradication of transgenderism" and here is a man who threatened to shoot up a gay bar because he wanted to "eradicate transgenderism." This was retweeted by prominent conservatives such as Chris Rufo. This is stochastic terrorism.

‘Real friendships felt mythical to me’: On autism, reading and growing up

A $20B leveraged buyout? EA had a good run. Hope everyone except the ghouls who managed this deal land on their feet as the building collapses.

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

not a joke!!

Love how YouTube music sometimes removes likes from songs randomly 🙃

The bad news: terrible, horrible, just gut wrenching nightmare last night The good news: VERY motivated to not sleep in lol

I just tried doing this (with “Yakety Sax”), but can’t figure out how to upload it so the sound works.

i think about this post every time i watch a movie

It is the stated policy of Magica Riot that Nazis deserve to be punched, so please enjoy one of my trans magical girls, Riot Blue (aka Nova) punching a sad, pathetic Nazi. Thanks to @beedokfern.bsky.social for this delightful work!

Just found out about Fat Bear Week earlier today and one of the bears is disabled and I teared up readin his bio cuz he just like me fr fr explore.org/fat-bear-week

weirdo political pundits cannot understand that this is the only way a lot of us want to use the social web

i sure *hope* my corn dog has a wooden piece also known as a stick inside!!!!!!!!

This is pretty cool!! I think, generally, I'm on the complete opposite end of enjoying this kind of game, but I'm happy someone's articulated their thoughts about the games they want to make and see more of. Even more happy lots of ppl also want those!! More variety in games is a good thing :)

I've been leaving comments for games I love and the creators usually seem so happy!!! Also, if you leave a comment talkin bout how much you loved it, you get to fully show you like that thing before it became (even more) popular :p

I imagine Trump's "medbeds" as the infirmary beds from Evil Genius 2 (which I wrote for, full disclosure)

What level of Online Boomer Brain Damage is posting an obvious AI slop video in which YOU YOURSELF APPEAR?

fair play if trump does unveil a magic bed that can cure all known illnesses I will have to hand it to him

TFW u open BlueSky and a bunch of ppl are vaguely posting about the same shit

Ok a lot of ppl are upset about mtg Universes Beyond and while I have thoughts about that (that I've shared or otherwise), as a lapsed MtG player (partly vuz of UB fwiw) I'm going to hold my tongue. HOWEVER, I really have to point out how funny of a flavour fail this is

im getting a lot of hate for agreeing to do the riyadh comedy festival but i never claimed to be a role model. i am a kind of sacred jester... i believe my jokes about my gay stepson's pronouns can help change the saudis

When I’m feeling bad about myself I try to remember someone out there would kill to have my face. Its name is The Face Slicer Offer and it is waiting for me to fall asleep

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

Started this saturday morning with a delusional family member telling me that to treat my chronic illness I should stop going to doctors and see one of those business entrepeneur "life coaches" Needless to say, Im p fuckin pissed off
