if you did this 200 years ago they’d drown you in a lake

I see a ranking of #StarWars came out today so time to bring out old faithful

The general negativity and hot takes from games media people have caused me to unfollow damn near all of them. It's just so exhausting.. How about you talk about stuff you like?

Your friendly reminder that Elon's DOGE cuts have already resulted in mass death.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

Bring back Blades

That Mamdani/Trump press conference stun locked me for a minute. They even released a picture of JUST Mamdani. Trump said he'd gladly move back to New York with Mamdani as mayor. But also, don't forget the Epstein files.

And now, La bohème.

I have no idea how I managed to do this. Wordle 1,613 3/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟨⬛⬛🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

Rebecca Heineman, a true industry pioneer and the legend behind Wizordum’s Mac OS port, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer. She will be deeply missed. If you’d like to support her family with medical or funeral costs, the GoFundMe link is attached. www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

Still thinking about that bop from the No Ghosts at the Grand trailer.

I have no idea why but I feel like @jesawyer.bsky.social is a big fan of Leroy lettering sets.

Foundational figure in PC games. One of those load-bearing creatives where things would look very different for entire genres if she wasn’t around. Please help her out

Just had a Phoenix Down moment. They were called nickelodeons because they cost 5¢ and an Odeon was an Ancient Greek venue where they played music and read poetry (a theatre or concert hall). Nickel + Odeon.

@vgbees.com speaking of AI nonsense, this YouTube summery had me ON THE FLOOR.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Shout out to the spineless fucks out there trying their hardest to double my health insurance costs.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

@danryckert.com I think there's real potential for Dogs Bower from Blue Stinger to have the same impact on the @giantbomb.bsky.social crew that Pipo did.

Hey how about PLUR1BUS?

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Almond Roca using gen AI for their holiday tin is deeply disappointing.

The first time I read this, I heard it in @jeffgerstmann.com's voice and for the life of me I have no idea why.

The hope is strong, and it is beautiful.

someone leak the Epstein list tonight, keep the uppers upping let’s gooooo

Hell yeah, California!! Proud of my home state. apple.news/AbtCRGn6xQxS...

FUCK. YES!! apple.news/ALVpDV1kARSC...

Digg servers getting HUGGED.

Rogers Centre really did turn into a library.

Weapons (2025)

For the 6th year in a row, a player named Will Smith has won the World Series 2020 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2021 - Will Smith (RP), Braves 2022 - Will Smith (RP), Astros 2023 - Will Smith (RP), Rangers 2024 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2025 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers

I didn't have a horse in this race. All I wanted was good baseball. This was good baseball.

That was one quiet stadium after the bottom of the 11th.

@dannyodwyer.bsky.social listening to your effusive, heartfelt praise for The Seance of Blake Manor has gotten me to not only pickup the game but it has moved Ireland to the top of my must-visit list. I'd love to get over there next year.

Video games

I want to go see Bad Religion. I do not want to play $190 before fees for the cheap seats. Shit sucks, man.

Both teams: "there's another one TONIGHT?!"

Baseball has me sad. I need a pick-me-up. Maybe I'll check out this Hereditary movie, see what it's all about.

Live seismogram from station RIZZS of Geno's Grand Salami with synced audio from Rick Rizzs on the @seattlesports710 radio broadcast! The @mariners and PNSN named the station in @TMobilePark after the one and only Rick Rizzs because of the energy he brings to the broadcast. # SeizeTheMoment

Glad to see this interview by Rachel Kaser. Happy anniversary. gamesbeat.com/the-nes-cele...

Powerful move of kindness you can do at work almost every day is when someone junior or outside your department goes “I have a dumb question” and then asks a totally reasonable question, hit em with a “not at all a stupid question” or “actually great question” and then answering it.

Don’t make me tap the sign.
