"Dark Souls 3 is Thinking of Ending Things" is possibly my favorite essay on anything in the genre. @jacobgeller.com got the vibe perfectly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnAW...

New soldering iron get.

Are there any truly good open e-readers? Something that isn't locked down so I can throw any random html/pdf/txt/whatever on it?

The #VoidStranger OST remains stuck in my head. I knew the game would be great before even starting it, but 0:55 on this track is the kind of thing where you know a game is truly special. youtu.be/SONQTu9QHGA

Did my taxes last minute again and fortunately it was accepted. Hopefully one day this stupid country will be like "hey wait a second, we already have this info, why don't we just do the work automatically and not let Intuit/etc. be fucking parasites?"

I hear #StreetFighter6 finally got that incest patch... or something...

The Amazon locker at my apartment complex is jammed and I've decided to treat it like a vending machine and try to order more stuff.

Anyone else feel like it's impossible to buy a pack of flour tortillas without them first getting a visit from a hydraulic press?

Welp, it's official. I can't see the word "balloon" without thinking of Karnov.

While waiting for the new soldering iron to arrive, I decided to see if I can find the specs for my old one. Turns out it's so old as to nearly predate the modern internet, and the only mentions of it are a safety notice saying it's a shock/fire hazard. It's like 20++ years old.

Invincible VS is named as such because you can't be defeated if you never finish a match.

Sony has the opportunity to do the funniest thing and not re-release/ patch Bloodborne.

The #Bloodborne movie will be so accurate to the source material that it'll run at 24fps.

Is it ok to lie to someone if you don't know the answer to a question but don't want to admit it? What if you haven't put any real effort into understanding something but someone's asking you about it? (This is a question about #GameDev)

Doctors and therapists talk about going to bed at 9pm and getting up at 7am like it's perfectly normal.

I keep seeing people refer to "tadc" and assuming it's some new street fighter tech.

Risking $200,000,000 for every underpaid employee seems pretty inefficient, but math is hard so who knows...

Finding out they just announced a sequel so fuck it the original is free is genuinely amazing advertising.

I wonder when the price of the US government will exceed a $7 bag of Doritos.

Still trying to crawl myself out of the dumps both physically and mentally. I think at this point I basically want to achieve one of two states - "I lived bitch" or "Do what you must, I have already won".

Getting tired of being right all the time, it's truly exhausting What do I even do with all these "I told you the research said it had a 40% rate of lying! And that's even more dangerous than it sounds because they're subtle confident lies!" trophies I'm owed Do I like build a shelf? Hmm

"You can't do that." Since when has that stopped any arrogant jackass from doing a goddamned thing?

I didn't meal prep this weekend cause I forgot everything would be closed on Sunday and now I'm trying to not just order pizza or live on sandwiches for a week.

Fun AI fact: With minimal editing you can put Brian in all sorts of games and fool Google Lens into thinking it's Quest 64

I read this and thought it was a late april fools bit. If Copilot is "for ENTERTAINMENT purposes only" then why is it being shoved in everygoddamnedthing? Why is it needed in something like Notepad?

Prediction: Ingrid will be the lore reason for some major new mechanic (3/4-bar drive air parry/dash?) in #StreetFighter6, and it'll be to help the characters defend against some lore threat. I also think there may be some common/sweeping change to the environment in World Tour to reflect that.

In case you're wondering if anything's better in the vastness of outer space:

Went back to play a bit of GoNNER earlier and it really satisfied my desire to be nonverbal and weird.

Microsoft Teams could still find a way to ruin it

make incompetence shameful again

Never before have I seen such a high fidelity depiction of a character licking balls in a game as the one in Mortal Shell 2.

March 32nd go

The world would be so much better if we'd just let talented people cook.

Allergies are fucking me so hard right now. The sinus pressure is actually screwing with my vision.

This fuckin broke me I just, yep there's the 2026 games industry metaphor and I'm making tiny bird games so Yepppppppp

Toilet paper's about to get a whole lot more expensive.

should ingrid fans be called ingrates

The most successful game in the world right now, which every other big developer is destroying the industry trying and failing to emulate, is "spending significantly more than we're making"

My upstairs neighbors have been suspiciously quiet during my multi-week lapse in streaming.

How many #StreetFighter6 players enable button release/negative edge?

Seems like arcsys decided to spend a shitload of money or figured out a cheaper way to do their process for surface normals for the strive/xrd/etc. 2d-3d art style. If the latter, that's a huge deal for future games.

I'm not sure what the plan was trying to pass this off as anything other than a slop filter when everyone with eyes could tell that's what it was, and Devs were going to blow the doors off it the instant they got a handle on it.

#StreetFighter6 players upset cause they changed Alex from a charge character to an incest character.

I think I've hit the age where I want nothing more than to be a corwid of the free.

Dunno wtf is going on nowadays but back in my day BBL meant "be back later".
