For any TOs out there: parry.gg is the real deal. I'm not going to vouch for their whole event page because that's not my use case, but the mobile app is outstanding for the dogshit Internet situation at our venue while my usual app was down. Good stuff!

Oh, ok We've all known that we'd move on from discord at some point. This'll be, what, maybe the 6th time I move on from what had been my biggest communication method online? I'm not too stressed about doing it yet again. Anyway get your game knowledge etc off of there & onto actual websites

"Corruption is like stealing from everyone who is not involved in the corruption" - @hankgreen.bsky.social 2026

Copilot got force installed on my machine again in the latest update. I swear to God excel is not worth the constant fear of my machine having spyware used to help the regime forcibly installed without me having any say in the matter.

hope everyone upset about age verification takes time to yell at their state representatives for passing local laws that required tech companies to set up additional age gating features source: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

online discourse is so annoying because everyone keeps yelling at the fire for burning instead of stopping the arsonist from setting another fire 😮‍💨

I am HOLLERING at this fucking artwork @siegefault.bsky.social just drew of me bc I've been feeding him and a friend Sailor Moon deep lore lately

Man two super bowl half times in a row we get a master class in artistic expression. One in hate and one in love. Perfection. This stuff better be covered in some humanities college course at some point.

Gen Alpha slang and culture is the real test of if you are going to be 'that old person' or not, not Gen Z. If Gen Z is hard for you you're a boomer. The big barrier, unfortunately, is a lot of youth culture comes from tiktok now where as for Gen Z it was big but not 'the definitive source'.

"if you have been reborn in Vana'diel, i wonder if you hear the music on the wind" Is one hell of an awesome response by the tea.. Rest in power oba-san

In a life where I never knew anime, I'd be an intense book snob constantly critquing and disecting the literary decisions of one person. I love anime because it brings a collaborative aspect to the story. It's not just 'one guy's opinion in a vacuum' but a broader artistic expression out of the many

I'm still reeling from JKR being in the Epstein files, like lmao. How am I supposed to take any TERF seriously (never did but lol) after all this when basically every powerful and vocal TERF was in this damn thing. More importantly how am I supposed to not feel like we live in a simulation good lord

Congratulations to O-Range, your Vortex Gallery at Frosty Faustings XVIII 2026 Sailor Moon S Champion! #VGFFXVIII #FFXVIII2026

Iron Lung was probably the best horror film I have seen in recent memory. The pacing, cinematography and acting were so tight.

WNFC Mondays at Burlington Beer Company are being canceled until further notice. We appreciate your support and attendance, and we will continue to keep you in the loop should anything change. Thank you, Vermont FGC.

The resistance in Minnesota cannot happen in Boston unless our civil resistance groups actually reach out to and rely on historic groups and organizations lead by people of color. I spoke to a number of protest leadership about this when I was able to participate and they were 'new to the idea'.

We are 5 entrants away from our cap for SFV at frosty faustings this weekend, nows the time to sign up! www.start.gg/tournament/s...

I see a lot of discussion about Echo Chambers today. However, I think people misunderstand a key component. Propganda isn't about enforcing insular beliefs. It CAN create an echo chamber, but for a long time especially in WW2 propganada was used offensively to change hearts and minds in echo chamber

Seeing all the Democrats join the Republican military bill is a sign this tweet is going to be a frequent repost...

Remember to sign up for the FREE Street Fighter V bracket at frosty faustings it has a 32 player cap so be sure to grab a spot while its available www.start.gg/tournament/s...

Honestly this is worth a read now that there is some temporal distance from the ruling. The media reported on this issue so badly, I bet you that you probably have a misunderstanding to what they actually ruled. harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

Tarrifs are a tax on the people. That's the post.

The real reason why AI is terrifying and should be stopped at all costs in any sane stable democracy? Because it theoretically separates the wealth of a nation from the people who were once needed to produce it. It's like striking oil, but for creativity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL...

Re-read the fantastic Katamari Damacy book from @lauraehall.bsky.social and this reading, at this time in my career, hit like a ton of bricks

Thanks to everyone who visited us for our first #VF5Revo tournament of the year and @travelingctrlr.bsky.social for hosting yet another great weekly! Hope your 2026 is a Virtual One! Top 3 1. Loudmind (middle) 2. @bowserbrowser.bsky.social (left) 3. @tcurls.net (right)

Reminder to FGC in the Boston area that today is our free to play $67 pot bonus #VF5REVO bracket at Balance Patch hosted by @travelingctrlr.bsky.social Shout outs to @beelzeburbia.bsky.social for the fly poster

SNK continues to shock me at how little they understand their core demographic. An empty souless husk of what was a gigantic passion project by the snk devs before that KSA money snuck into their bed. The devs didnt deserve this, but corporate sure did greenlight all the bad decisions.

After a long wait, my annual week long online charity supermajor: Alexalchemy's Charity Thing, finally returns for it's 8th edition as me and my friends return to play some dope games for a dope cause!!!!!! This time to benefit Waves Ahead PR to help queer folk in Puerto Rico (More info below vvv)

For those who are #VF5REVO curious or die hard fans in the Boston area this Friday we are having our 1st VF tournament of 2026. Join us at Balance Patch hosted by @travelingctrlr.bsky.social at 8pm to compete for a 67$ pot bonus and chill with us as we welcome in the new year!

Ersatz is OUT! The indie pilot I've been solo-animating for 1.5 years is now on youtube. Check it out! youtu.be/yf2tBjHvx9s?...

Also while I'm recommending media, guys this Zine kicks ass, go download it and show your support FGC fam

I can't recommend A Memory Called Empire enough. If you want a very sci-fi political thriller it's one of the best I've ever read. The good character writing and the fantastic elements of the world build lend themselves well to exploring the deeper issues the story wants the reader to delve into.

How I feel whenever I play SFV or VFRevo

For awhile I was in the 'my whole personality is x franchise/game is cringe' camp, but ever since the soul sucking digital drugs of today (including bsky) I've come to the conclusion that I'm somewhat wrong. They DO give you something of an identity when you try to have an opinion.

@moreperfectunion.bsky.social has been doing fantastic work on our food supply chain and the state of American agriculture for years but I feel the past year of work has been particularly stark. You should watch this most recent episode. It says a lot about right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Av...

Every abdication of soft power in favor of hard power makes the average American poorer. Our soft power is our greatest weapon. But you need to be a salesmen with a strong handshake and a smart sounding idea, backed by sauve, tactful, compromising, and benevolent. This is anathema to the chud right.

So they invaded Czechoslovakia and then what's next? Poland? Surely they won't invade Poland they are the wedge state between Germany and Russia. What? The Russians agree? They want to split Green- I mean Poland down the middle?

i finally stopped procrastinating and made a starter pack of people you should definitely consider following! i wanted to show my appreciation to those who've interacted with me this year and made this a better, welcoming place 💜 go.bsky.app/GMxcZw

my one plea as we ring in the new year with Zohran being sworn in as mayor is to take some fucking wins he’s not going to be perfect, there will be setbacks and disappointments, but take some joy and some pride in the good that comes out of this good things are more durable when we celebrate them

My new years resolution is to play more SFV and VF5REVO. I will play the games I love and keep trying to be good at fighting games. The world can only break your spirit temporarily. I choose violence (In a video game.)

I thought a lot about what to do for my end of the year post. So much wrong has happened to the world. So much and so little achieved in my personal life. But at the end of the day this year and the next are political history of the highest order for our nation. But what to write about? Walk with me

as a black tech anarchist who hates closed-sourced applications and the concept of BIG TECH, the last 5 years of my existence have been so validating for me
