One of my favorite cyberpunk genre games, intriguing and captivating, highly recommend. wannabekingpin.substack.com/p/the-red-st... 🐼 #cyberpunk

Think the title oversimplifies the problem. When genAI makes shit up, someone legitimizes it by making slop piece (article, video), it spreads. Sourceless hallucinations will rot through everything: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zfN...

"Boy, I hated knowin' that my thoughts deterred a dream" www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ92...

people treat me like a burden, then get mad at me for acting like I'm a burden, trying to minimize myself to not burden them, lol. am having existential crisis. what makes it worth doing time like this?

I need a new shoulder workout, someone send me something.

made pickled herring in pancake. how did I used to hate this stuff?..

Hellraiser movie series are among my favorite classic horror. Figured, what better way to start October than with The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker, first in the Hellraiser books. And it was good: wannabekingpin.substack.com | #horrorbooks #booksky

Spooky season began, and I rolled out with a classic: The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker, first in the Hellraiser book series #booksky #horrorbooks #spookymonth 🐼 ko-fi.com/post/The-Hel...

Spooky season begins! Crunchy yellow leaves, nasty pumpkin spice smell everywhere you go, and all of your beautiful aesthetics flooding the socials. Good time. Recommend me horror stuff! Books, movies, games. 🐼 What's your perfect October? #spookyseason #maskedguys #maskedcreators #darkaestetic

Murder Circus was great. What can I say, I'm good at murder. #saintsrow #saintsrowreboot

ICYMI: "I can exist in between gender identities and alter my form whenever I like – there’s no limitation or gating to the times I can customize." @jhensliterature.bsky.social on the gender euphoria of the Saints Row series' character system:

if you're friends with a condition that you don't touch certain topics, I've bad news for you.

the way we annexed the night for fear and safety from monsters, just to then grow up and realize the monster is not supernatural.

I've a few friends in SW industry. For the life of me I don't understand guys who seek out OF people specifically, roll with the whole spiel on hanging out and partying, and... what? fully expect a free fuck because "bUt We ClIcKeD"?? Back in the clown car you go.

sometimes I ask friends if they'll help me with this or that, and they say yes, and then it never happens because they forgot and I am too shy to remind / ask again.

games with romance should operate on player-sexual standard, so every sexuality is default there. it enables your sexuality without erasing mine and vice-versa.

Not a bad way to end the month, with Code Name: Pale Horse by Scott Payne. A book on an undercover agent, infiltrating nazi camps and hate groups: wannabekingpin.substack.com | #truecrimebooks #booksky

Thanks to Saints Row reboot I've replayed all the Saints games I had. Love all of them, with very mild exception of Gat out of Hell, but even that's pretty fun. #saintsrow #saintsrowreboot

protect your peace however you need to. cut whoever you need to off, mute, block. engage hard into things you do love and enjoy. life's stupidly short. you deserve to breathe, if nothing else.

Yes, gangs were not written enough in a sense that it needed more missions and some speech-driven clashes like we had with Killbane and so on. But they were still very fun to engage with, each one offering solid, unique interactions. #saintsrow #saintsrowreboot

If you read just one LGBTQ book this year, make it The Rainbow Ain’t Never Been Enuf by Kaila Adia Story. A great example of how important it is to see the full picture: wannabekingpin.substack.com | #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqauthors #booksky

Neenah: you trust me? Boss: damn right.

Working on a New Animal Crossing Remix check it out (wear some headphones)

the one thing I miss on the other social media that was readily available on tumblr and, weirdly, twitter, are the aesthetic accounts for those nice vibes. if you got any, throw my way.

timeline's so good today

🧎‍♂️

Any attempt to force artists, writers, creators, musicians... to only express themselves in pre-approved, limited ways will be futile. It goes against the very nature of art.

Needed something light and simple so, I picked up Goodnight Tokyo by Atsuhiro Toshida. Definitely worth a read, given how short it is, especially if you enjoyed such books as Afterdark by Murakami, as the concept is similar: wannabekingpin.substack.com | #booksky #contemporary

I'm replaying the entire saints row franchise (minus the 1st due to obvious reasons), and you're about to hear why 🐼 throw a coffee at me, you adorable thing, I've no time to sleep. ko-fi.com/blackwood

need a nice site with good selection of tube bandanas (EU). Buff used to be fun. @cdprojektred.com had some fun ones from them too, I'd like me more like the Arasaka one, or any other cyberpunk / sci-fi design. Anyone?

reminded me that decrepit church from the 2nd game. saints is unique that way, even if in the genre of gta, it's too different in what you're trying to do overall. #saintsrow2022 #saintsrowreboot

cute people share coffee, it's true, I don't make the rules, it's just is like that 🐼 ko-fi.com/blackwood

On Third Street Saints, Saints Row, soul, a honest review: wannabekingpin.substack.com 🐼 #saintsrow #saintsrowreboot

Something I learned not even so long ago, is that you do not get to decide if something is or isn't on behalf of another group (as per, you can't forgive for them either).

Y’all!! ✍🏾📚🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏾❣️🥹❣️🫶🏾🙏🏾 The audiobook is still in the top 50 on @librofm for LGBTQIA+ Nonfiction audiobooks based on sales from their 4,000+ partner bookstore locations.

if you use "woke" to describe a game you apparently didn't like unironically, your opinion just doesn't matter within review context.

People don't comprehend rare eastern European (if not overall European) thinks of russia as part of Europe. it's Eurasia. neither Europe claims it, nor Asia claims it, they sit in their empire on their own. never heard Asians get bullied with 'actually, russia is...' either, btw.

❗️Russian strike on the National Pharmaceutical University in #Kharkiv. Four people injured: 89, 54, 52 and 51 years old. Civilian building. It is badly damaged.

I miss my friend. I miss him very much, every day, but today it's one of those days again when it's just more than ever. He used to do good things with the simple reasoning "well, I can, so why not?", and that's something to aspire to.

"will nato fight for 6 mill in baltics" probably. We're strategically important land. Bulgaria is also 6 millions, you're. Not shilling ru anti-nato propaganda about them, somehow.

Every sound, wind, rustle, sounds like a jet, drone, shahed coming. If you're not adamantly anti-RU's imperialistic invasions, you're just a ghoul. Ukraine lived this for 3,5 years (+ more in Eastern regions). We owe them support for keeping the creatures out of home for so long.

calling for context is good. but step back and look at farther context: being able to quote one of the most heinous people that lived just like that doesn't make you a good person (or intellectual, as some might think). it may not prove you're an evil person. but it does prove you're a red flag.

peaceful protests only work when your gov isn't already blocking any media coverage on them + cares about its people + isn't itself violent, thus going by "might makes right"

“Russian missiles will reach London just as quickly as they will reach Tallinn,” said the NATO Secretary General. “Russian missiles are capable of reaching London or Madrid in a matter of minutes, so one cannot assume that the threat only concerns NATO’s eastern flank,” Mark Rutte declared

Squid Games was a phenomenon to my brain. I’ve a hard time watching anything, but there’s these rare gems that just flow, and I enjoy every minute of it. So, when I saw these two energy drinks, I had to try: wannabekingpin.substack.com

Here we go. Admittedly this part could've been fleshed out better. Then again, entire story (which I did love tho) could've been fleshed out. Feels like bare bones, if full of potential. #saintsrowreboot #saintsrow2022

In the day and age where any and all trans peoples experience is being denied, claimed false, or minimized, I can’t recommend Before Gender: Lost Stories from Trans History, 1850-1950 by Eli Erlick enough: wannabekingpin.substack.com | #lgbtqbooks #booksky
