Steam: War crime simulator where the Russian developers actively state their profits will go to the Russian military in violation of sanctions on the Russian Federation: I sleep Weird Italian arthouse game that might spook the evangelical puritans targeting credit card processors: REAL SHIT

Update *Shayne Topp voice* - turns out I am, in fact, the problem.

Furry was not invented in the 80s it's been around since man started doing cave paintings. It's cultural across all cultures, like dragons and demons. Seeing ourselves as part of nature and not against it is straight up human vibes.

You can't say fuck on YouTube without being demonetized meanwhile 70% of their ads are now for AI apps for deepfake porn & sex genchats

It's only when we're talking about 30, 40 dollar books (which is mostly in the TTRPG space) that I'm a bit less like, "C'mon, man." however, you know your own finances better than I do - so, if you DO pirate one of my books, at the very least TELL YOUR FRIENDS HOW GOOD IT IS, PLEASE!

I'm generally in favor of piracy - mostly because it's not really a lost sale if you already couldn't afford it. but, like... It's a book. Many books are, at this point, 1/3rd the cost of eating a single meal at Wendies, if not cheaper. Those that are more expensive are about as expensive.

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

My kingdom for Russia finally disrespecting or humiliating Trump enough that he decides to do something tangible against them. Which might happen if we didn’t have members of the administration coaching the Russians on their interactions…

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

My hottest take is that food made within a family is an expression of love. It comes from a desire to sustain and comfort people we cherish. So inviting assholes to the meal defeats the purpose.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

"I'm glad you agreed to ssssstay with me tonight."

Femzi... 🐉🖤 cant believe it took me this long to gender bend my own sona, but drawing girls is so much fun!!!

hi rei

I think one of the biggest unfortunate things about KH2 is summons and drive forms using the same resource, but drive forms just always feel more fun to use

“How did you get into ttrpgs” Who told you that? Who told you? I need a name, asshole

At Chipotle and the employees are letting me decide how much food to put in all the delivery orders. They're holding up a small scoop of food and I'm doing a slow thumbs down like in Gladiator to say the scoop should be even smaller

Comphet is short for competitive heterosexuality where a guy and his girlfriend swap places and try to seduce as many people as possible to show how easy the other one has it. "I got this," he says, putting on makeup with practiced efficiency. "The guys at the club are going to be ALL over me."

Online RPG commenters not seeing healthy emotional boundaries and behaviours as problematic challenge (impossible).

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Every time we complain about how much games cost to make, I think about Kevin Levine talking about how he had 2K throw out "seven games' worth" of material before wrapping on BioShock Infinite. I don't think it's the coders and the texture artists wanting salary and benefits, you guys.

This man actually thinks he's gonna be President someday.

It’s no wonder people are losing faith in institutions and the whole idea of technology when we’re being constantly force fed the views and opinions of “experts” who are either extremely mediocre at everything other than “selling”.

When you come at these things from an angle of curiosity and meticulous research, robotics is cool! Humans interacting with tech is cool! A lot of science is slow and kind of boring and not very profitable and when you skip the foundational stuff and don’t care about people, there’s no point.

Watched the new Defunctland yesterday and there’s a bit where they going into the robotics and interactive AI research being done in universities and it strikes me how much an actually very interesting and valuable field has been thoroughly poisoned by tech bros with no scientific curiosity

It’s kind of crazy when you hear an actually intelligent, expert researcher in the fields of robotics talking about it and the things they need to figure out and it’s extremely fascinating and very obviously multidisciplinary. But those voices are not elevated in our society any more.

the mid-century science wave which was a lot more grounded in reality because of a genuine boom in computers, medicine and mathematics. People were watching real scientists doing amazing things in the world. The modern revival is capitalism wearing scientific cosplay, with profit the only interest.

imagine having to hear shit like "study confirms giving diabetic children insulin reduces their death rates by 100%" as if that hasn't been known for like a hunred years. that's what being trans is like

look sexy dragon man @shiningheart.positivt.space #shiningarts #NDArt

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.

"Never pay more than twenty bucks for a computer game" does not mean "erm, adjust for inflation, actually" it means what it MEANS

i see people saying that 80 bucks for a game is actually cheap accounting for inflation but thing is it really aint because last i checked wages havent changed in forever so people are making pre inflation money and paying post inflation prices. and post inflation rent. and food prices. etc.

there's something beautiful about how marston's vision of lesbian bdsm is also filtered through a lens of old timey pro-wrestling.

I just really want to encourage people to consider how a work makes them feel, what it says, and how it says it. Regardless of its "importance" or "prestige," you owe it to yourself to think critically about the things that you engage with Especially if you find comfort or joy in them

I was supposed to clean up this doodle of granny getting milked like 3 months ago so I may as well show it off now Sorry @grindagoat.bsky.social

i think it would be funny to throw economists into a volcano

heh you’re new iPhone and avocado toast is destroying your ability to buy a house and wait no stop it

I miss when Twitter was truly great like the time a guy got upset at someone calling out a cricket team and started explaining how bowling worked and at the end OP was like "thanks for explaining btw I hold the world record for most career outs in cricket history"
