I feel like no new MMO gives the feeling of starting out as a complete nobody and building up slowly. It's all about saving the world as the chosen one and your equally powerful friends.

I have an odd on again off again relationship with social media and every single time I reinstall TikTok and it's begging me repeatedly for access to my contacts list I remember why I don't go back there.

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

Opened Destiny 1 via PS5, and I've got to say, this game still slaps. The power progression and lore are unmatched.

The lack of whimsy and fun in the world is noted. Kids don't watch cartoons, they're stressing about money before they ought to.

Playing Crimson Desert and realizing they have this move in as a skill youtu.be/QaAVG39Ws0c?...

If a lie is funny enough we'll believe it over the truth

Something to think about

Just leaving this here..

Has anyone checked on @anyaustin.bsky.social since Crimson Desert dropped? Feel like he'd drop off the face of the earth for months if it's his jam.

I'm tired of going about business as usual when nothing makes sense.

I’m trying to find the ad Kat Abughazaleh just dropped on MSNBC. Holy shit it’s FIRE. It has the song “Going the distance” by Cake. Dem party, take note! These are the folks we want! Fighters for US. No corporate or foreign donations. Grass roots! Fighting for the people! I gotta find the ad!

Cancelled my Discord Nitro subscription a month ago, I didn't realize I was signing up for 30 days of Duolingo level guilt tripping to re-sub. Good riddance.

This Abrams 'Item shop menu' lighting is fantastic. - Deadlock

Weird little thing I've noticed in recent Obsidian titles (Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2), is a distinct lack of Door Shape variety.

Seeing evil people get away with incredibly evil shit, without repurcussions, doesn't sit right in my soul.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Removing all social media from my phone in order to force myself to consume the books I've been craving.

Friend of mine got laid off, anyone have eyes on an open Producer role?

This

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Went to the record shop and picked up some gold.

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

Played Marathon on PC, it's visually stunning. I'll dig in more but so far it's exactly what they said it would be.

There's a lot more of us than them.

People needing a tragedy to hit close to home in order to stand up against said tragedy is the dumbest....

the video game industry is a mess

If you don’t say 6 you haven’t met 6

If you've never watched The West Wing, change that soon, it's such a good show

Sometimes a game comes along that I can't shut up about. Latest one has been Deadlock for like 2 years running now...

That’s a headline. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This is blackout poetry to me

"We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend."

At least one Meta employee thinks it's a good time to add facial recognition technology to glasses because we're too distracted by fascism to effectively protest www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Childhood ruined. Adulthood too...

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Favorite new RPG toy

So, what Discord alternative is your community going to move to?

I play a lot of competitive games. If your team doesn't communicate in a 5v5 or 6v6 game, don't fret over the loss, your squad didn't even take the first step needed to win.

Dynamo: Just Press 4.

Getting away from Twitter's never-ending spiral of racism and negativity for views is a breath of fresh air.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

I would really like Nintendo/Game freak to release the old Pokemon games on mobile.

What a moment.

That halftime show was incredible.
