Gonna delete this app. Might reinstall it some time. Regardless, I will check the site on desktop at some point so if you need to @ me for some inexplicable reason, I will eventually see it. Bye.

If you made a right-wing insert character in a sitcom angry at He-Man using male pronouns you would get criticized for being “too on the nose” and “straw-manning the right” and “too stupid” yet here we are. Beyond satire @willardfoxton.bsky.social

Played Eclipse last night, first time in probably 6 years, and while I always say “this is a great game” I seem to forget just how much fun it truly is. Paying your Astro-taxes is just… fun? I dunno why but it is a lot of fun.

Wait is the #2XKO season 1 battle pass really 110 days?! I know they’re doing resets that often but I thought the battle pass was half that and we’d get a second one with new skins and a new champ?

I love everything about this. The name “Operation: Inflation”, the 1950s psa voice and sound editing, everything about this is so serious and absurd it’s amazing. If you even thought to put something like this into some quasi-sci-fi satirical dystopia you’d never get away with it. 👌🏼

😚👌

A different avenue to speculate on future #2XKO champs this year; stages. Braum is the only champ without an associated stage, there was a Frostguard stage in the datamine, and the Brazen Hydra was dropped without an associated champ when Vander's bar would've made more sense. My theories:

Made a mistake in listening to the end theme of HBO’s Chernobyl. That track breaks me every time. What an amazing show. Damn you @willardfoxton.bsky.social for making me watch it.

I think it’s kind of funny that Marvel is now just releasing post-credit scenes in theaters without movies

Do you seriously think I’d explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting it’s outcome? I had chatgpt upload it 35-mins ago lol *turns on tv* *nothing has happened* Eh? *squidlaunch.exe still buffering* THE SIGNAL HERE IS SO BAD *ad plays* WHY DO ADS NEVER BUFFER

I love Luthen Rael

Dear #2XKO devs I would like Jack the Winner in the game And I would like Bard in the game with that musical toot thing Big Band does in Skullgirls so I can play the JoJo theme Finally, I would like Jack the Winner in the game Thank you

Ok I was not too excited about Caitlyn in #2XKO but I am in love; it is profoundly hysterical to me to see her cock and aim a SNIPER RIFLE AT POINT BLANK RANGE I adore this www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8al...

I want a knives out movie with Mads Mikkelsen, Mathieu Almaric, Javier Bardem, Christoph Waltz and Rami Malek as the suspects dammit and the victimS are Pierce Brosnon Timothy Dalton and I want it now

Being on a proper losing streak in all your games is a very disheartening experience. I cannot win anything atm. I lose all my league games, all my 2XKO games, and all my tft games. Every decision goes wrong, every play fails.

The main thing I keep getting wiped on in #2XKO is the nature of openings. I’ll block a massive combo by my opponent and then they’ll recover and be able to throw an attack faster than me, even though I’ve blocked it all. There’s so many moves/chains I can’t interrupt but I can always be interrupted

I know no one i know here gives a shit about Riot’s Runeterra games but I’ve been playing a lot of 2XKO and I just wanted to express some of my perpetually impotent amateur game design thoughts on “what if 2XKO launched a year earlier and modelled it’s events to be thematically adjacent to League?”

Kinda agog at how we don’t have basic “buy media as easily accessible usb sticks to share on your devices” because 20yrs ago the industry was *existentially terrified* of consumer ownership causing piracy yet same industry is now entirely dominated by the IP Hoarders and the Plagiarism Engineers.

I love Luthen Rael

“A comic needs images.” “Hold my coffee.”

I think how much I hate the internet but then I think of how I commented to the Top Gear Chernobyl challenge “3.6 miles to the gallon. Not great. Not terrible” and how other people responded with “tell me comrade, how does an RMBK car run out of fuel” type comments and I don’t hate it anymore

Saw the X-teaser for Doomsday and I am convinced that not one of these teasers has any actual footage from the movie. I don't think any of these were filmed when they had a script. Every single one is the actor, on a green screen set, for about two hours doing a gesture and v/o with zero context.

Never really seen Stephen Miller before but I didn’t realize he had summoned the combined cringe of every uncharismatic larper who thinks he’s in charge of everyone because he’s memorized a crit table in a different game no one else plays

Was watching this and enjoying it but my heart leapt into my throat halfway through because I dunno when it happened but all my emotional ties to Superman are *summoned* by the Zimmer Man of Steel score I love it so much youtu.be/ebXB0lBoaQ0?...

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

My favourite part of Gunn’s Superman is the tiny detail that Clark Kent wrote a front page biography on the falafel seller he couldn’t save and who told him not to worry because he’s alone and a nobody. I think it’s a beautiful touch.

My inner dialogue every time I see anything remotely anticipatory regarding Avengers: Doomsday (I’m both Kirk and Spock in my head)

Literally the art deco gothic Tim Burton Batman movie was the biggest thing at the time and a clear influence on the visuals, the score, and why the show doesn’t do origins for the Burton villains; it was clearly what the market demanded what are you talking about

Now I've unlocked all 40 champs on the new #TFT set, I'm convinced unlockable champs should be evergreen going forward, with two caveats: 40 champs is obvs too many for every set, and, there shouldn't be champs you unlock incidentally (like Kennen or Kobuko) without intention. It feels lacklustre.

Finally finished all the back puzzles of www.cinenerdle2.app just in time for the new year

Yolker Also Yolker Part 2: Folie a Dozen #EggAMovie

Try watching any apocalyptic disaster post-pandemic. It’s laughable how optimistic even the most satirically dystopian take is Skynet perfects human doppelgängers, not 6-fingered ads No one thinks the alien ships in Independence Day are a false flag hologram Running Man is just tv now

I need Jack the Winner in #2XKO and the worst take is “we can’t as that would disrespect the fans of real champions” as if any of these characters are real or that league is somehow more of a real game than LoR, TFT or Riftbound. I also hope we get a unique 2XKO champ though I guess that’s Samira

As someone who isn't very good but practicing manual combos, I find being locked out from long combos in #2XKO by a pulse player feels... unfair. I support pulse as an option. My solution? Pulse is a bar like break, but it goes down as you land hits. When it empties, pulse is *off* till it recharges

he can’t build a wall he can’t build a ballroom

Ahhhh yes happy holidays!

Attempt 2: I will now prove to WotC how good a Trek SME I would’ve been with a self-made meme of such niche quality, a shitpost so deep a cut, it proves I am the very innermost center circle in the Venn diagram of “Star Trek” and “board games” @gavinverhey.bsky.social you have no guramba

I can’t shake the idea that Doomsday is going to be Doom, using his RDJ face, to recruit the Avengers, to “save the universe” by getting Franklin Richards, Jean Grey, Loki & Scarlet Witch all together, then he’ll use their powers to make Battleworld & the pitch was “what if the Avengers were Thanos”

Proving that I would’ve been the best SME (subject matter expert) for WotC’s Star Trek MtG set in the most arrogantly silly way possible; posting random TNG gifs from the bluesky search bar & naming which episode they came from off the top of my head @gavinverhey.bsky.social you missed out you fool

I’ve decided this vibe should be the anti-AI mascot and we should make Che type posters of Doc Brown

Anyone in comics or games or fucking anything with momentum want to work with a story expert who is the only person to have lectured with Robert McKee (the guy everyone in Hollywood credits as the top screenwriting teacher), did so for 10 years, and ended up writing his lectures? Didn’t think so.

“It’s easier and cheaper” “But worse” “Yeah but it’s not feasible otherwise” “But it’s worse” Every discussion I’ve had with anyone who uses gen AI and chatgpt type shit Literally after generations of “work hard” lectures, “meh good enough” is now the gaslighting rallying cry of industry

Basically the company equivalent of “I do my own research” Letting an automated algorithm spit out random data points at you without any concept of being able to tell fact from fiction doesn’t get better because it’s presented with realistic lighting textures

What browsers do peeps use? I use Firefox but I’m wanna ditch it because I’m so exhausted by how the internet went from “we have to stop the gov from ruining it” to letting tech bros turn it into an artificial fiefdom of spyware slop that would make the most magenta filled geocities webpage blush
