Forming an identity around things you don’t like instead of things you like or want is not a good idea. This sounds self-evident but I’ve been seeing this cycle happen across social media for probably 20 years. It’s hostile to life. It’s poison for the writer and the reader.

Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.

This exact moment is perhaps the least true this has ever been

Mackenyu really fought 100 guys in One Piece Season 2 #OnePiece #Netflix

hard not to read all this age verification and censorship shit as our deeply reactionary government got the faintest whiff that an unchecked internet severely interferes with their ability to propagandize and decided it had to die

One Piece Live Action is even better in season 2 somehow.... Holy shit

[guybrush threepwood voice] never spend more than 3 years making a computer game

Remember Change is possible even if the odds look insurmountable, you just have to actively participate in change in your community outside the internet and engage with people on a personal level.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

Comic book musings: It is very hard to differentiate between Black Cat and Catwoman because they both basically tripped and fell into being Bisexual Kingpin of Crime....... However the fundamental difference I realized is that Black Cat is a Friend, Catwoman is not.

Neil Sedaka, the singer of such hits as "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" and "Laughter In The Rain" as well as the writer of three Zeta Gundam songs, died on Friday at 86:

Pokemon Winds and Waves coming out in 2027 gives me time to save up for a Switch 2.

Pineapple for me!!!!

I know this is like, “eww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with “nuance” about what is art and what is porn.

My biggest conspiracy theory atm is that all the talk of "Fighting games aren't popular/fighting games are in trouble" was artificially created so the FGC would welcome billionaires trying to buy up every corner of them because "hurray, money."

I watched every episode of the Pokemon anime through Gen 3. Played every Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 minigame and made my way through Gym Leader Castle. Collected the cards. Played Puzzle League. Encountered Missingno and caught Mewtwo countless times. THIS MAN LEARNED WHAT A POKEBALL WAS IN LIKE 2024

Finished Trails Through Daybreak II Man, I was told this game was gonna be controversial. I don't have any doubt man this was one of my favorite games in the series It DOES show that it's an interlude in places but man for an interlude, I basically consider it top tier

I don’t trust “critic” types who have never shown excitement for anything I need at least some proof that you’re not just performing the critic aesthetic

Kerela is hard carrying India's contemporary arts... Specially in Film Making ngl. Hanumankind also being from there gives the State a Massive Buff.

This bit in a post slandering Mortal Kombat is making me cry.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.” www.therage.co/persona-age-...

Money guys can make anything sound soulless and horrific I never thought I could feel such negativity towards someone talking about giving an anime girl a fat juicy ass

This sounds funny out of context but then you play the game and it's even worse, after you get your things back from the people robbing you it turns night time and you get legally jumped because you happened to be in that day's dedicated Purge zone

It's the quote that makes it.

Phil after saddling Microsoft with a Billion dollar acquisition they will never recoup from

AI is going to make it nearly impossible for anyone to afford a new PC, phone, or gaming console -- all in the name of a future that will never come to pass and a present that will just make a few dudes rich. This is unacceptable

This rant is something I deeply connect with as someone who genuinely enjoy messing around with the computer. Absolutely f*** them and may everything they do crash and burn with them being trapped inside because the invisible door-handles won't show.

this gif was originally made for e3 conferences but now it just represents the entire games industry as a whole

Nintendo gonna ride out the financial crisis by rereleasing all the Pokemon games one at a time.

I swear I'm not delusional! I swear they were real! I held them in my hands! I played them! There were games on the Playstation! Please believe me! Playstation had games! *gets dragged away while wearing a straitjacket*

IF YOU MAKE A BAD GAME, YOU'RE FIRED IF YOU MAKE A GOOD GAME, YOU'RE FIRED IF YOU MAKE A DEAD GAME, YOU'RE FIRED IF YOU MAKE A PROFITABLE GAME, YOU'RE FIRED IF YOU MAKE A SUCCESSFUL GAME, YOU'RE FIRED IF YOU MAKE A CHEAP GAME IF YOU MAKE A AAA GAME, YOU'RE FIRED IF YOU MAKE NO GAMES, YOU'RE SONY

I like Firered and Leafgreen, but c'mon $20 for a ROM is kinda insane.

im not a linux evangelist but people post on here weekly like "i miss when computers were more like the early 2000s and had basic software and i didn't have to pay attention to all the flashiness and complexity and updates" girl what you desire is running stable debian on a spare thinkpad

The internet has ruined the word chaser for me... 😭😭😭😭 I can't help but laugh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

ramadan mubarak to my brothers n sisters ✨ ferida is rooting for u!

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Shenron is chill as fuck he doesn't do any of that monkey's paw bullshit he knows full well what you want and just hands it to u

A lot of the "AI HELPS YOU DO THINGS FASTER AND BE MORE PRODUCTIVE YOU'RE MISSING OUT" reminds me of the like, 'productivity bubble' of the 2010s, where the least productive people you ever met would read books and implement new systems and use new software to achieve as little as humanly possible.

>biggest advertising spot in the games industry for free >secretly funded by one of the largest game publishers in the world >investors attempt to spin bad publicity as a moral failing of the industry's consumers holy shit. it's an actual, genuine industry plant game... lmfao

I don't expect every artist to use bsky but jesus christ have a way to take commissions that isn't through twitter

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras. This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Remember: When you playtest a game, never take players’ feedback/suggestions at face value. Figure out what emotion is underneath what they’re telling you, and then figure out what in the game is causing that emotion

Seeing a lot of videos asking "Why don't more people play fighting games," but I never see anyone bring up my answer. They talk about complexity, single player content, the usual suspects. But I think the number one thing keeping people from playing FGs is simply nobody wants to get their ass kicked

Parents give their children unsupervised access to the internet with smart phones, but it's the FREEDOMS OF THE INTERNET they attack. This is about CONTROLLING INFORMATION, what you see and what you say. It's nothing to do with "protecting" anyone. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
