The “play more indie games” discourse is going. And you should play more of them! So here’s the single best game I’ve played this year that I’ve seen NO ONE recommend or talk about. Easily the best monster tamer game, soundtrack is fire, designs are inspired. More people should play beastieball!

Since there’s no algorithm here, getting followers requires my impression is you to either already have some fame, post 100s of times a day, or be a very talented visual artist. If there’s a way to find actual mutuals, I’d love to know what the secret is but also why is it a secret?

1./ My fellow weirdos, I come to you today with a theory, nay a revelation which my heart cannot bear on its own and must be shared. The beloved children’s novel “If You a Give a Mouse a Cookie” is Reaganomics propaganda made as an intentional psyop for children.

“Nightreign didn’t add things it never said it was going to add and now I’m disappointed about a thing I made up in my own head” is not the criticism people think it is lol.

Nightreign is one of the only games where popular consensus is that fans desperately want it to be a live service game. Sort of a testament to 1. How trusted Fromsoft is and 2. How good the idea of nightreign is and how far it could go with support.

I think there is enough social economy around things and people we don't like... I wanna get to the things that bring us joy

Googling “is there a way to be an author without having to constantly post on social media and send weekly newsletters” and sadly the answer is apparently not unless your parents are already famous.

MacKenzie Scott: *donates $50M every 10 hours° Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir: "I want to see people hang"

It’s been a cozy, productive day. Shout out to @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social for being ol reliable - in an era of subscription services, spirit city keeps me calm and focused.

Even though he sucks, the scholar is my main in nightreign. Yall can enjoy your sexy freak nun while I buff us and waste the entire run hunting for items.

Male loneliness discourse again? Maybe boys should just toughen up and deal with it.

The response from the TA is downright kind. The essay sucks and they have no right passing a psych class.

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

oh they gave me a blue check now I can say how I REALLY feel!!! trans rights free Palestine housing is a human right universal health care for all six hour day for eight hours pay mandatory minimum wage raises that track to rent & cost of living protect the oceans & the rivers and bring back Jujubes

Update! Final sketch before inking.

Finished a draft of my planar cosmology for my #pathfinder #pf2e world. It’s a mix of old ideas I’ve had, my favorite planescape bits, and some of Golarion. I know I’ll add one more plane in the final version, but I’m happy with the general layout here.

Why is Jesus looking like a cryptid rapidly approaching this lamb to devour him

Somewhere out there is a Guy Who Compares AI to Artificial Diamonds and Says it’s a Humane Alternative Without Suffering…and one day I’ll slay him. Not in combat, but dishonorably.

There’s so much discourse around “was Frodo gay” but almost none about Bilbo and I’m convinced that’s because it’s so obvious even homophobes are like “yeah obviously.”

How it feels to play Pathfinder 2e

A PC that can run 90% of games in existence and is as good or better than what 70% of existing users have isn’t midrange to me. PC gamers have a weird bias for the very cutting edge top of the line specs.

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

What is everyone’s number one favorite area in a metroidvania, and why? I’m counting 3d games adjacent to the genre as well, like soulslike games.

Owning more than one house is the clearest indicator of someone valuing profit and convenience over their fellow man. Owning an house for the purpose of profiting off it means we allow a parasite class and normalize it.

The steam Machine has something special called “being adorable and tiny and so humans are already packbonding with it.”

Every time I see someone claim PC is somehow anti-ownership they always fail to mention that every console is a completely closed platform with zero freedom of choice that can be remotely bricked by the company. PC is the only place you can actually own anything.

Woke up immediately inspired for the first time in months.

I have been so busy today that I read my boss’s email signature as “California pronouns” and thought, “Like the raisins? Or did they invent pronouns 2”

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997) is an action RPG by Konami that redefined the Castlevania series and debuted on the Sony PlayStation. The terror of Dracula returns and as Alucard, you must raid the latest incarnation of his castle to end his reign! (an upside-down castle thread)

Frankenstein was easily Del Toro’s best work and I say that as someone who loves his stuff. It feels like every movie he’s made was like training for this one. A real magnum opus. Acting, cinematography, characters, effects, music - delivers a stunning, incredible tribute to the original.

I can’t explain this but we deserved a kung fu panda mmo inspired by jade empire. Some malevolent force took this from us.

Good thread. Dividing classes by trying to sell them racism is one of the oldest tactics. And it ignores the systemic oppression of racial groups conveniently. You cannot have class solidarity without racial solidarity. We learned nothing from the coal miner wars.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

just saw the phrase "the real estate community." absolutely. we should be worrying about how political policy impacts the demon community. how does this affect ghoul- and goblin-americans

This is obviously laughable and full of exactly what you’d expect an AI game to have — gibberish text, nonsensical geometry, etc — but to me the funniest thing is that looking at the UI/setup this is just Dragon’s Lair. This is an FMV game. I could play Mad Dog McCree in the arcade 35 years ago

Legitimately think most these people have no idea the average pc gamer pays about $4-$7 for a game thanks to the various stores, bundles, and sales. An $80 game is just a staggeringly high, confusingly high, price when that gets me multiple games I’d also love.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the PS5 and now the Switch 2 have specifically garnered a defence force going "what are you, poor?" when people complain about the value

Wolves of Glendale are slept on and waiting to blow up. If these lads make a second album I suspect they’ll hit a bigger tier. Musically talented, intricate musical composition, AND hilarious.

you think it's "gay" to be associated with anything left of center ... *opens manilla envelope* ... and yet, on jan 21, 2025 ... *slides 8x10 photo across table* ... you wore the tutti frutti

when i saw the DMV had issued me this random number plate i drove right back to the DMV and said "hey i'm so sorry but i need you to swap this for a different number" because - and this is just me - it was important to me that no one around me assume i might be nazi, even a little, even for a second
