If the Nintendo Switch 2 gets these four games, it may surpass the PS Vita's title as the ultimate handheld for blobber enthusiasts. @dialacina.com on how the system could become the de facto destination for blob-heads.

the rudest thing my partner has said to me is that he knows I'll like a song when it's "interesting"

sometimes my music is really stupid though. how am I supposed to say the song's shift from what's familiar at 17 minutes building to the incredible noise section at 26 minutes is my favorite part

looking at my own playlists like damn I have good music taste I really like all these songs

holy fuck i took a game off samifish. didnt expect that to happen at all so happy with that i got my ass beat in the next two games but i feel great about that

found out what the landlord posting today was about. jesus fucking christ lmfao
