265 hours played in Brighter Shores and I just now unlocked the potion belt, guess I should have been paying more attention to the sidequests.

will remember jay as the person who deleted lexi alexander and link, worked hard to cut palestinians off from their one chance at survival, ignored the ongoing abuse of Black and trans users, and then when confronted about the whole thing said 'waffles'. and for that fugly no caesars shirt.

YouTube recommended me a Doom stream that I think has one other viewer, or I might be the only viewer right now, and the guy must be playing on some sort of ultrawide monitor because it looks really fucking weird, these textures were NOT meant to be stretched this much.

i am glad to hear that bluesky is listening to me and i look forward to my seat on the board

cis folks on HRT, you know what to do and if you don’t maybe you haven’t been listening or thinking about this

Running into some RetroArch issues: I've been using the FinalBurn Neo core for arcade games because the MAME core doesn't seem to support RetroAchievements (you'll get a popup but then it tells you the entire set is unsupported). But Xevious doesn't play explosion sounds in FinalBurn Neo...

I just realized something: I keep saying I find it hard to believe Romero and Petersen had pistol starts in mind when designing the original Doom levels, but the presence of a chainsaw in E1M9 suggests that maybe they did.

greatest album ever made. sold like 50 copies. everyone who bought it started a band

This is intentional for all of us reading at home by the way. Hegseth is doing this to create the biggest massacre possible and bring Jesus back for the biblical apocalypse because he's a religious cultist. It IS that bad.

Oh hey, we've got a cozy game racism controversy this morning! 😵‍💫 www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5lj...

ANOTHER thing the ACNH 3.0 update didn't fix is Daisy Mae wandering all over the damn island instead of sticking to a fixed simple path like CJ or Flick. She's already made her way from the north end to the southern beach in less than 30 minutes.

Anyway, I'm enjoying my coffee while watching this video about weird things in earlier versions of Doom- I never played those earlier DOS versions so it's always fascinating to see what got changed and the bugs that later got fixed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMma...

You didn't lose an hour of sleep — an hour of sleep lost YOU. You were always too good for that hour of sleep anyway. Now it's time to slut it up and find a NEW hour

Went out to get breakfast, gas is still $3.39 everywhere. Because I drove less than usual while on vacation it actually cost me slightly less to top off my tank, I don't expect this to be the case next week.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

The dogs are already barking, not sure if they know something is off because of the time change or if it's for no reason whatsoever.

Not what I was expecting from a WAD called Baphomet's Judgment II but okay.

Let’s start calling these what they are: concentration camps where men, women, and children are sent to die. It is cruel, heartless mass murder being perpetrated by a white supremacist government enabled by technofascist oligarchs.

You know, when I play old arcade games again and do badly at them I should probably keep in mind that I'm 40 years older than when I first played them.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Myhouse was destroyed in the war, and we lost everything.We live in a tent that doesn't protect us from winter cold This Ramadan, I can't provide food or meet the needs of my baby and family We need 250£ Please support us with it today Your support could save myfamily 🤲💔 tinyurl.com/save-my-baby...

we cut the gay stuff because parents felt bad having to out themselves as blatant homophobic bigots to children who have otherwise been taught to love everyone and treat others as you'd have them treat you

hey yall my homie @hexe.bsky.social needs help with top surgery recovery! they are a super talented visual artist and tattooer based in colombia. pls check out their art and consider sharing or supporting the fundraiser ❤️❤️❤️

my hot take regarding art about bad people is that you cannot make art that is morally upright enough that fascists will not co-opt it, and if you let that stop you from making art about villains, antiheroes, & fascists then you then remove art's ability to be a place where we can think about evil

This is what I've been talking about for ages: people just ignore rules that inconvenience them, even if (sometimes it feels like especially if) those rules are there for the safety of others.

After a night of passive combat with Grumpy Pirates (yes, that's what they're actually called) in Brighter Shores, I'm technically high enough level to fight Tangled Hairbeasts. But after fighting one on my way to deliver a cooking bounty... I don't think I WANT to.

My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed

Took my walk at the park where I always used to go in Virginia Beach so I passed a lot more gas stations. The price was consistent with one exception: a Shell station charging $3.29 cash or $3.35 with card. Also Royal Farms' member card price is $3.29, but without is $3.39.

Bumping this because voting's coming to close and I know Elana would appreciate it if you read their essay and voted for it.

Anyway: it's Saturday, and it's time for coffee and Techmoan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwO...

Went to get breakfast and gas prices are starting to go up- it's $3.39 a gallon for regular at every station along the route from here to Wawa (and including Wawa). It's weird to see such consistency, usually there's at least a 10-20 cent variation between stations, with the more rural ones...

Felt like loading up some random Game Boy games in RetroArch to see what the retro achievements situation is like and some of the people out there making achievement sets are going a little over the top with it. BurgerTime Deluxe has 62 achievements!

I did closing tracks before, so let's do opening tracks- this will also probably end up being a small thread. All-time favorite is probably still George Winston's "Thanksgiving" from December. youtu.be/XKJRf98GU3o?...

Hello all, job hunt continues, but I need to raise $204 for power and internet bills. If you can help by donating or sharing, I'm very grateful, thank you paypal.me/kivabay ko-fi.com/kivabay Cash app $kivabay patreon.com/kivabay

Seeing a lot of dunking on Palmer Luckey today, did he do something specific or is it just perpetually fun to dunk on him (of course it is)?

people who insist that trump is the whole problem are super dangerous because they will prevent us from addressing root causes

Hank Azaria: today I come before you, America, with proof of who the Zodiac truly was, Reporter: do it as Wiggum Hank Azaria, sadly: ok ok, *Wiggum voice* so it was- Reporter: no do the whole thing as Wiggum, no wait as Moe! Do it as Moe Hank Azaria: so I was wiping down the bar the other day-

We are doing everything we can to rebuild our lives step by step. But we cannot do it alone. Your kindness has already helped our family more than you can imagine.❤️ And if you feel able to support us again, even in a small way, it truly makes a difference. Thank you for standing with our family.

So I can think of at least 3 closing tracks off the top of my head that would work here, but overall it's probably Elvis Costello's "I Want To Vanish", from All This Useless Beauty. youtu.be/cZIzhXMNzBo?...

Going to listen to that almost-3-hour Talking Heads box set now since the whole thing's on streaming, also confusingly Apple lists the release date as last November? 🤔

So I'm 1600$ away from being able to pay my rent. I'm trying to take care of a household of 6 people, only two of who can work right now, and with my longterm illness, I'm just not able to make rent this month, as a bunch of unexpected costs hit right in a row. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

It me

They put a wig on Darrell Hammond for 91 episodes in the 90s.

Way before I finally realized I was trans I always chose female characters in games when I had the option, for some reason (I genuinely don't know why) I named them Esmerelda, had to shorten it to Esme for a Pokémon game and it just stuck. Rylan is from the song by The National.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I SPENT ALL MORNING BUILDING FURMITURE TO GET ME ROOM TOGETHER AAAAAA anyone wanna shoot me $20 for lunch about it? I spent all me money on da furmiture,,,,, Otherwise I'll probably just sit here hungry til nighttime venmo.com/code?user_id... www.paypal.me/popeyeotaku cash.app/$TroyFullwood

I like Fontaines D.C. but they're a very weird choice to cover "Black Boys On Mopeds".

People on the subreddit are losing their shit over this song, raving about how great it is, and meanwhile here I am wondering why, to me, it sounded so underwhelming coming after my favorite album of 2025. I just don't get it.
