Borrowed a Caves of Qud color scheme for this pixel sword

Shit I missed Weinstein Welfare. It was right there!

Rightwing media is now just MeToo Welfare.

Oh no, my plant guy in Qud has a sore throat.

Caves of qud has me looking at the world differently. Like what if you were an alien or something and landed here, and had no notion of cars or buildings or electric lights? How would you describe them?

I am totally Qudpilled, it is the ultimate expression of the Ultima-style RPG, specifically the Ultima VI/VII and Ultima Underworld era. It is absolutely a game for sickos and the learning curve is a sheer vertical cliff face, but it's the first game in years to make me feel things again

There was a weird kind of fatphobia that often went unaddressed in the whole "manspreading" conversation of the 2010s. I hated that whole thing. Like there was no space at all to talk about how painful it is for a fat guy like me to keep his legs pressed together for very long.

Sometimes I wonder if conservative media is like porn, in that it discovers and popularizes new concepts in media and then others follow for different audiences.

I always thought Charlie Kirk was just a codename passed down through generations, which is how they explain a different actor playing the role every few films

I'm going to use an escort service* *Jesus will escort me to heaven when I die

the funniest thing about AAA vs Indie discourse is that it is a truth universally ackonwledged outside of video games that working for a small business is literally the worst torment it is possible for a man to experience and would take a faceless evil corporation 100 times out of 100

I forgot to say "caves of Qud" when I shared this the first time, damn

get weirder 🫵

I feel a little bad for these people smashing their skulls into some idealized shape. People are disfiguring themselves with hammers, and it's not even in service of something fun like sex. It's so... spiritually empty. They're trying to fill a hole in their souls or something.

And I'll gladly sit down next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I love this stall God bless this here bidet

You see I am not a commoditized drone like you, I in fact make marginally less popular choices and am therefore a wild free spirit.

Noooooo criterion can't admit a popular kids thing, I need my consumer commodities to prop up my self-image as a non-commoditized person with tastes too wild and interesting to monetize

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

I know this is insanely annoying, but this is Important

It's not an apology tour, it's a sorry safari.

I think it is safe to say that Robert Moses was a butthole.

Since everyone is (sigh) debating if writers benefit from reading books, I dissected a passage shared as “evidence” that non-readers can write great prose: countercraft.substack.com/p/what-not-r...

Been playing so much fucking caves of Qud today. I could live in that world.

"I only use AI to write the boring parts" The boring parts:

Journalists do not need permission to write about somebody lol. Will Stancil don't be a baby challenge: impossible.

yes, my penis is also powered by AI: A lack of Interest

Just found out Fredrick Brennan died. I only met him in person once, but I always had a lot of respect for his personal growth and ownership of his past. More than anything, I respected his commitment to changing himself for the better. He was a good guy. So it goes.

I want to memorialize Fred tonight by posting pictures from our years together. He became my friend in late 2023, my employer in early 2024, and my partner for the last six months of his life. He's basically been my entire life ever since I moved to Atlantic City in summer of 2024.

This is real Caves of Qud advice:

Gonna issue an important statement about AI.

MST3K and Concrete are both back. If a new Ween album drops, it’s official: I’m back in college.

I won’t be reading replies here, my roommate’s MUD campaign is tying up our dialup and SportsCenter is on.

I hate how much everyone, leftists included, has decided it's fine to hate fat people again. To invoke fatness as a shorthand for evil.

I think Boardwalk is probably better than the Sopranos. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Caves of Qud

5:30-6:30 PM dinner is goated. just one more thing old people were right about all along

Nelson Van Alden feels to me like a character they just didn't quite know what to do with in the end

@unormal.bsky.social dunno how to begin to convey how appreciative I am for having Qud on a system I own again. Such a profoundly weird and wonderful game.

You know what's epic? Bacon. Thought about it the entire time I was in a coma from 2007 until yesterday.

Time to dust off a classic

Portrait of an ice agent

kids these days just dont know what its like when her clit/brown/taint-area still p0wns your dick

DADS WITH SWORDS

I do not drink often so on the rare occasion I do, it's fun and everyone I run into leaves me with smiles and a fun memory. It's a good time.

true love will find you in the end this is a promise with a catch only if you're looking can it find you 'cause true love is searching too
