Hello people, sorry to be doing this at the end of or the beginning of the year but I just found out I am short on my rent due to two major factors, 1)roommates asking for me to pay for bills late and two hidden in an email they sent me 2 months ago mentions off handed that rent was going up.

Happy new year. I'm looking forward to a nice fresh start and better habits. Here's hoping that your fire stays lit or you get that spark back. ❤️‍🔥

My new years resolution is 640x480, but if all goes well, I might go on to 800x600.

David Bowie could fire a laser from his mouth, so I’m glad they’ve got that down.

"I'm happy we can do business with each other, you've got a keen eye." "Thanks, I owe it all to my wizarding world house." "Heh... Oh..." *Rapidly leaving the boardroom with a phone in hand* "Cancel the deal, mute the number, it's a no-go."

I hope people keep these stored in a cereal bowl for maximum unhinged-ness.

Terminator, but they've lost the rights to Arnold's likeness, so they edit over him as an inconspicuous metal skeleton for all scenes, and he's very human.

Last Minute Steam Sale Recommendations. 1. Infernax - store.steampowered.com/app/374190/I... A homage to Castlevania 2, but with modern day refinements, Infernax does interesting things with a morality system, and copious amounts of surprisingly visceral 8-bit gore. The soundtrack is superb too.

How I’m walking out of 2025 and entering to 2026:

Probably the complete tool that blocked me for... Agreeing with them. Either that, or that time I pondered the nature of game preservation and wondered if a game should include the flaws and bugs of the original, or should it be remastered to be the *best* version... I was blocked for that too.

Yes, we should. "You just want more rights than everyone else!" No, but I'll take this one. Everyone else pays thousands for a perfect boxed copy of a NES game, while my community flicks over a single coin so they can add it to the pile.

This is a good program I intend to learn pixel art with. Although the source is available, please consider supporting the devs, who provide constant and automatic updates. Plus, it makes me feel professional with the program being amongst game making utilities on steam!

When someone steals the Terry’s non-orange chocolate.

I would gladly watch an MCU series where a worthy baby steals Thor's hammer, it's just 8 episodes of him trying to get it back. No world ending catastrophes, no Thanos or Doctor Doom. Literally just Thor trying to stop an invincible lightning baby.

"Whats the hottest game out there?!" "Silent Hill 2, sir." "Ah, that must be some rustic country game, copy its marketing for our tennis game. That ought to fool 'em!" "But, sir, Silent Hill is-" "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, JENKINS. BRING SILENT HILL ENERGY, ESPECIALLY THE SILENCE." "...Ooookay."

I never skip a hopecore post.

It's very baffling, and telling. The amount of times I've seen "There's no hiding what you are!" directed to trans people who are open about themselves and their transition. "Imagine making your gender your entire personality" from someone making their hyperfocus on a minority their career.

PainQuil sounds like a historical form of punishment. “Poets who mocked the royalty were forced to write their texts with the painquill; a heavily barbed writing instrument, using ink made from the cruelest of vinegars.”

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

Going to link some of the articles I've most enjoyed writing and favourite rabbit holes I've gone down this past year-and-a-bit. 💜 scanlineartifacts.co.uk/2024/12/29/s... scanlineartifacts.co.uk/2024/09/24/t... scanlineartifacts.co.uk/2025/01/04/r... scanlineartifacts.co.uk/2024/12/06/t...

as the prophecy foretold

Heeeh, it's like a VIP lounge where only the good games are let in.

I dunno, taking money from the people who can afford to give it seems like a very complex issue, that can only be resolved by several bribes.

I want a game about repeatedly getting punished until I do well, because I wanted to abandon ship... Sounds about right.

I wish that Steam categorised artbooks and soundtracks as "Extras" rather than DLC, with the only exception being if the content is added to the game itself (which is a mess, I know). It's just difficult going through any games checking for new DLC and it's another friggin' art book.

Makoto looks like a cat the exact moment the automatic food dispenser activates in another room...

Goku’s heart grew three sizes his eyes were welling, He is pleased Vegeta is now a friend, But it was due to the heart virus causing internal swelling.

You don't need AI as an indie author, you need community. You need people who can help you when you're burning out (and vice versa, importantly). Trade labor with each other, beta read for one another, connect with editors and cover artists. Teach & learn. Help promote one another.

"Of course RAM is expensive, it doesn't grow on trees." The picture I hand to my ever disapproving lawyer to present to the court:

I just appreciate that Pikachu is precariously located between the blinding "Mario/Wario" bucket and the Master Sword. So you have a small animal that can discharge electric swinging the blade of evil's bane and unable to see...

Awesome game, very much looking forward to the sequel. Great soundtrack too if you can spare the extra few bucks!

It's like meeting your uncle at a family gathering, and he's just your cousin but stretched out.

Just finished watching Final Destination Bloodlines. The moral of the story is that currency and logs are evil.

Devil May Cry 3 and Resident Evil 4 helped me through some rough times back then.

I see ads for gambling that encourage "regular breaks" and "spending limits" under this thin veneer of care, especially when they seemingly do everything in their power to shrink or briefly flash that yellow gambling warning. But extended talks of vulnerability? "lalalala gambling mentioned block."

I figured it out a while ago; the reason edge is the lifeblood of certain comedians, is due to them being unable to come up with new material since the 90s.

I love the thought of Pinhead sitting melancholy with a bottle of hard liquor. “The box, they opened it, they said it was boring. I shown them intense suffering, they said they were numbed by ‘doomscrolling’, whatever that is. Hooks in the skin made them announce ‘welcome to jackass’… Ugh.”

Easily the funniest schadenfreude story I've read all year was the guy attempting to co-author a book with an LLM, but was bamboozled when he couldn't download the finished work. The LLM lacked the capacity to produce a downloadable file, it did, however, roleplay as the co-author.

Christmas is over, welcome to the twilight zone, the void time between christmas and new year 🔥 What day of week is it? No one knows. Theres some work to do? Nobody cares, it can wait until January. 💜 Also it means my bday is in little over a week. 🥺

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it. Disney Solitaire has literal actual real money gambling with dark pattern lootbox microtransactions and is for ages 3 and above.

2022 was an amazing time
