real, I think my family has an instinct not to tread on this issue because I can't help myself but be defensive. it's getting hard to pretend that this is an issue in abstract and not something truly, deeply personal to me. I'm praying they don't notice before it's time for them to know.

You've just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you. "you wanna know how I got these scars? my daddy was... a speak & spell"

POLYGON BIRD Games debut title BIRDCAGE is an explosive fast-paced shoot 'em up. The development journey is the story of how Barry and Giannis learned to make a video game together. 🔗 gamemaker.io/en/blog/poly... @polygonbird.games

"I have a genius idea, maybe belittling our customers' ethical concerns about modern media production will turn people around to our anemic, featureless storefront and stuttering, bloated game engine" nah, dude. fuck off, go back to sucking up kids' pocket change for premium currency. slop merchant.

"my loneliness... is killing me"

sometimes, fan-made translation patches are the only way to play

"twenty years ago..." ah yes. the 1980s. "... at the launch of the xbox 360" at the whATTTT

one day. one day, I'll be able to tell you. 💜💿

❗ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 📄

Extra stage runs were meh. Didn't get past Momoyo's second spell, but honestly, after the first set of bad runs in the main game, I feel ok with this. Tonight felt like a bad night for me, but it ended on a high note. :3 We raided out to the lovely @shinon-shn.bsky.social at twitch.tv/shinon_shn

Had a fantastic stream playing the entirety of Streets of Rage 4 with @shinon-shn.bsky.social and then we had one crazy round of 100% orange juice! sent the love to www.twitch.tv/blkbelt05 who is only 3 follows away from 200! please get him there and ill catch u wednesday!!

ex-zodiac finally contested in the lylat-style rail shooter space?? this could be so cool tho 😍

the way the level music just manifested in my fucking soul upon seeing this... I might not like super mario sunshine, but it has an incredibly distinctive vibe.

I know that "man the future sucks I was promised rocket cars" is old hat but fuck me, "the AI that runs the bank's fraud department denied my transaction because it believed my tastes in porn were wrong" is some esoteric dystopian bullshit

had a pretty good first gaming stream back. Hand hurts alil but iam getting better imo. Had a decent time doing substories in yakuza zero as majima. although the pc port has too many gltices lol. Sent the Love the to @shinon-shn.bsky.social who was playing Freedom planet, good game, great streamer!

a colleague at work was using chatgpt to write a farewell message for a manager who was leaving. the manager who hired her. I'd bought him a card for everyone to sign because nobody else had thought to. I persuaded my colleague to think of something herself instead. human emotion is our last hope.

mass internet censorship is happening and the government is invoking the idea that it's to protect kids that, demonstrably, they never gave a shit about to begin with. please let our children find solace, solidarity, independence, and community through the escape of online media. please.

Thanks! This is one i put a lot of effort into :3

I'd be so tempted to answer the first question with "... groucho?"

BLEED 🙏 THEM 🙏 DRY 🙏

a movie you've seen more than seven times with a gif I'm kind of obsessed with this one, actually. look, I know it's not highly acclaimed, but I think it's excellent and it's one of very few movies I've seen more than seven times as an adult, rather than it just being something from childhood.

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

I hope the "LGB without the T" people are very fucking happy with themselves 🙄

japanese prime minister sanae takaichi bears an odd resemblance to british actor benedict cumberbatch. or maybe I'm going insane.

The tiles were much more kind this week than they were last week~ We had a rough start with a 4th place finish, but we ended up the night strong rallying up to a 2nd and a 1st place finish~ We raided into the lovey @shinon-shn.bsky.social at twitch.tv/shinon_shn

I'm sorry, *what* fucking flavour???? 🐔

buckle up, girls; atlas is about to shrug 😤

you're telling me a crab ran this goon????

shoutout to my twitch auto-host list; all incredible, wonderful streamers - friends, collaborators, and beautiful creators with whom I've been fortunate enough to share streams, hang out, and have fun. whether I'm participating or just watching, thankyou all for being here 💜💿

heard a song on the radio and said to my sister "this sounds like your indie sadgirl music", and she immediately replied "well you listen to spunky femboy music"... chat, is this a microaggression? 🤔

if you're wondering what alcoholism does when you're not drinking, I unconsciously memorised every single discount and special offer in the booze section at my local supermarket and I'm hiding under my bedcovers while my brain is screaming at me to go buy *everything* so I can wipe out this weekend.

"being a better, funnier bully didn't make me right" I hate myself for how much I relate to this. and generally, because I know deep down that on some level - no matter how small - I'm part of the reason why things are as bad as they are now.

??? I've seen so many of these! never knew they were done by one person omfg

to me the biggest bullshit about how society is structured is that you can't have sleepovers anymore once you become an adult. wait a second i remembered injustice, war and other horrors. okay but it's still bullshit that i don't get to have sleepovers where we watch movies and play mortal kombat

I think that if we trained an LLM using the major monotheistic religious texts, told it that it was god, let it loose... we could convince a huge number of uneducated religious people that it actually was god speaking to them through the AI or that the AI itself was god. then we could reprogram it.

Skye is so right..

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite. Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform. Major conservatives joined in. Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Gonna say the tiles were generally mid tonight. Didn't do terribly, but not great, either. In 4-man, pulled together a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. 3-man went much better; managed to get a 1st~ :3 We raided into the lovely @shinon-shn.bsky.social at twitch.tv/shinon_shn

MY FIRST EVER SKIRKLE??? there are definitely some people from the outer rings who I'd like to bring a little closer, but absolutely grateful to have you all here 💜💿

💥 Reze 💥

it's only because we know how good they *could* be, because their work sparks the imagination so brightly that there's virtually no other source for the same kind of joy. at least, that's how it is for me. 😌
