Pausing No Logo to read Anxious Generation because that book is due back to the library in a week. And I'm only a chapter and a half in and this is a whole series of YIKES things are bleak.

Epic has been crushing it with the free games this week. Paradise Killer, Sorry we're closed, Bloodstained - today is the first dupe of the season (Callisto Protocol) but man it's been great.

Congrats to everyone who is spending Christmas with their elderly relatives who have the thermostat set to “supernova”

I know this symbol is a hard drive with an actual disc in it, but it really looks like an old iPod.

Well fuck that call. Rule of Cool should superceed it.

All these stupid AI commercials trying (and failing) to be "cutting edge" and then there's Corona who's still playing a holiday ad that's so old it had to be cropped in because it was originally filmed in 4:3 aspect ratio.

The term in the UK for a person rudely listening to something without headphones is 'sodcasting', and I think we can find a close variant.

This pic I took makes it look like my cat is about to sub in for Justin Herbert.

Welp, Linux Mint seems to work just like every other OS. I installed some programs, pinned some stuff to the taskbar and set up some hotkeys. Way improved from when I tried out Crouton like a decade ago. Also I like the default background options.

Installing Linux Mint today. Flashing a USB as I type this! Farewell Windows. You were fine til you forced this Windows 11 update and told me my 7 year old motherboard is "too old".

Sick end credits on Terminator 2D.

Currently at the funeral for the penny, happening at the Lincoln Memorial:

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

This is fucking bonkers.

We got a surprise visitor last night.

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK.

For those upset by the Firefox news, I've been exclusively using Vivaldi on both my PC and phone for years and its been great.

My local library has copies of Limited Run games?? So I'll be playing this over the winter break from work.

I'm reading Naomi Klein's book No Logo which is now 25 years old, and its been a trip seeing what was considered omnipresent then and I'm having to look up now.

Larian, in case you hadn't realized, we aren't just objecting to genAI being detectable in the final product. We are objecting to genAI being used AT ALL. AT ANY POINT. EVER. FULL STOP. If you use it during the dev process but then replace it by the time the game ships, that doesn't make it okay.

Moving Houses: A silly little physics-based game about moving on... or is it? gordgames.itch.io/moving-houses

Has anyone figured out how to leave reviews for games on Epic? I've played a bunch of games there and I don't even know if they have a review system...

This bird has seen me do something slightly embarrassing and is judging me.

Feverishly working on this

This entire weekend

This recipe felt the need to explain what a tostada is: "Tostadas are crispy fried corn tortillas. They are sold packaged and can often be found in the same section of your grocery store as fresh tortillas." I guess there's probably people that don't know but wow.

Logistically I know it's because things are stored in different warehouses, but it's absurd that I ordered 6 things from Nordstrom and they're shipping in 6 separate packages.

Yep, @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social has a fantastic bit on it. youtube.com/shorts/hIpq9...

The leaked list of Epic freebies has Commander Keen on it. If that's actual MS-DOS Commander Keen I'm pretty stoked for that.

Okay the new Terminator 2D game is great. I'm reliving the OG NES experience of gripping my controller so hard my fingers now hurt and I need to take a break.

Gloom doesn't know he's being watched.

The internet is fast becoming so choked with this, it'll be unusable. We'll all be boats chugging blindly through the gloom and the muck, finding nothing, barely each other, uncertain what's true or even real anymore.

To break up the game award posts on your timeline I'm here to provide you with NFL Posting™. Today's game is a bunch of creamsicles versus some air jordans. It's a horrifically clashing mess and that's just the uniforms.

Lol this background puts Al Michaels inside the buccaneers logo with the hat on his head, so he's the jaunty pirate now.

With all the posts about the Game Awards happening I wanna add: I've only watched it when Remnant 2 was nominated for best action game Turns out that's one of the categories done during the commercials so they can play more trailers and they mentioned it rapid fire in 2 seconds & went to another ad

kinda like NFTs this'll be a new shortcut to easily tell which companies or people to not work with and I'm not joking at all

This stupid bullshit game went into overtime to prolong the dumb.

Sweet fuck. The first game ever with 6 turnovers in the first half. 3 of which were on the same fucking play. What the hell is going on.

It's time to talk to you about my cat.

"I'll burn down your house" - legally actionable, boring, common "I told the trees about you" - legally acceptable, foreboding, unsettling, the plants know your name and hate you

All those articles about Meta data centers poisoning the water must be really hurting. There's been 3 different commercials during NFL today about how great the data centers are for small towns and how they help people stay in the community.

Does the snow grant the Bills superpowers? What's happening here.

Zak Baggins willing to hunt ghosts in the dark, dank corridors of abandoned mental institutions but being afraid of both heights and roller coasters is the most relatable thing ever.

Pictured (L-R): Sylvester Stallone, apparently stung by an entire beehive; Paul Stanley, revealing that the KISS makeup was load bearing; and Donald Trump, recently poisoned by the Joker

Today I witnessed one of the more perplexing dichotomies I've seen: a car flying both a Trump flag and a Raider's flag.

If I fits I sits, squirrel edition.

I hope the game sells a billion copies.

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍
