Just to make this crystal clear for the record: Of course I'm anti-Trump and his antics+crimes. But I'm also equally against the entire American political body, from everyone that enabled him to the stupid TACO shit over fucking war with Iran. And that's not counting Zionists. Fuck Schumer.

Feels like I'm lacking sun so I played Sunshine for a bit.

Baldur's Gate 3 Urge: Quicker pace than my usual way. Looting mod helps a whole lot. At Act 2 now, cursed lands, and with how warm a welcome I got at the inn, I had considered simply avoiding it entirely till I invade it myself... until I saw a true soul. More deception it is.

WTF? What next? Kikaioh/Techromancer remaster? Nah, we're safe there. Capcom is either too lazy for that or would be content with adding online play.

Sorta related to Baldur's Gate 3: can I blame games for conditioning us into getting rewarded for any good deeds? I wish we had more games where you only get the satisfaction from helping a data dump-- err, NPC. It's not the end of the world if I didn't get a thank you or I didn't do enough.

Beaten the 2nd game of the year. A shorter one but forever a classic, Castlevania SOTN. Who knew familiars can do >400 damage per hit? Like nearly everything else there, so OP it's gamebreaking. I love it!

Someone else mentioned it, and honestly I gotta bring it up cause it bleeds into dnd based fantasy entirely. Frieren's direction of making monsters into unrepentant human killing creatures is good, actually. It exposes a truth in fantasy that thankfully creatives are too smart to follow. 1/

Castlevania SOTN: Alucard has done plenty of heavy lifting. It's time for the familiars to shine... well, all except the faeries. I have a special mission for one fairy.

I think it's safe to say Bluesky also has a bot problem. The same one as pre-Musk Twitter, with classic inflammatory engagement farming. I understand some people don't treat the subject with the gravitas it should demand, but there are too many people spamming "Epstein files" unprompted.

Dawn of Sorrow Romhack: ドラキュラ、まずお前から血祭りにあげてやる

I was called a liar for telling the truth. I blame the video games, especially the one I'm playing now where the option to lie is too funny to ignore.

the AI evangelists are not okay

End of month coming up and haven't beaten a game yet... Personal quota, nothing too deep nor worth dropping everything to keep. Anyway, I have a duplicator only run on SOTN so I'll quickly finish that up.

Almost sad, but also glad this will remain untouched.

Ok, I'm sure they have a special place in your heart. But honestly, ads for games back in the day are some of the most horrifying, bizarre, repulsive imagery I've ever seen in advertising. It'd be enough to make me swear off games. Can't all that "inspiration" go in the games themselves?

Baldur's Gate 3 Urge: Now this is more like it! I ally myself with someone who most wanted dead, and it's because he's a cruel and evil prick. Rewards still lacking, though.

Watching white people white people-ing again.

Baldur's Gate 3: The only thing worse than those filthy drows are those duegars. I especially hate their particular shade of skin-- [This comment is no longer available due to violating TOS]

Baldur's Gate 3 Urge: And now for something completely different. What's weird is I specifically rested once at the grove and once at the goblin camp. It took me to rest at the underdark for Halsin to finally find me and exact his revenge. Anyway, cool sleeveless camp clothes for me.

Baldur's Gate 3: You're doing great. And everyone will be / so proud of you.

Made a habit of posting around this time so... hi.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.” www.therage.co/persona-age-...

This is more about control – specifically, about control of knowledge and intellectual resources by the wealthiest few. They're trying to rewind humanity to the point when only rich, powerful aristocrats could have access to the highest achievements in sciences and arts.

This Brazilian woman hates AI

No screenshot for now. Maybe for the romhack...

Already vague-posted enough for now. Anything else I wanna keep direct or talk about something else. So... Much as I enjoy(?) remakes/releases, enough already. They are a net negative, especially when they add next to nothing from the original (updated graphics+sound don't count).

Badlur's Gate 3 Urge: I try to stay friendly with those drows as the evil option, but honestly it feels like a giant waste of time trying to please these lousy dark-skinned-- [This skeet is no long available]

Look at me. Hey! Stop now and look at me. You deserve better.

Don't know if y'all also saw the recent marco rubio speech calling on the white western world to "recolonise" the nonwestern world. A latino man talking about the west's "age of empire", how it's in decline, and "needs to be resurrected." Capitalism mixed with white supremacy is one hell of a drug.

Being more of a buzzkill for the moment to remind of the thing you wish you can ignore. You know it's coming. I know it's coming. What you and I hope besides sensibility winning is for people to unite. Except I don't believe that will happen when vocal scumbags normalised victim blaming.

Let's find one romhack from my backlog. Wash out excess negativity and play something I enjoy instead.

I don't understand why people are being weird by defending this, but you know what? I got my own hot take. FireRed and LeafGreen have the worst renditions of gen 1 Pokemon music ever. Some tracks are actually off beat. Maybe I'll feel like tearing this travesty a new one another time.

In Castlevania SotN, there was an item called Shield Rod that granted a different spell based on the shield you equip. I always thought this was so cool, so I added an ability called Holy Shield based on it. Every shield in the game has its own spell for Holy Shield. #srpg #tacticsrpg #indiedev

Baldur's Gate 3 Urge: Going in to the myconid area and loool so many opportunities for meaningless lies. And is that an easily curable NPC I can just kill for the hell of it and shame myconids for not healing her!? Screw it.

Baldur's Gate 3 Urge: Besides story purposes (and Minthara's lore surprising me), this is probably the funniest part of invading the grove.

Game crashed. Do you think it's telling me something?

Baldur's Gate 3: Because of the polyamoury mod, I've been promised to bed 3 at once! No Shadowheart, though, which is a shame. Wyll and Karlach can rise after the celebrations, while Gale is a big sourpuss about it. It's only the slaughter of innocents, Gale. Sheesh.

I'm ok.

「重戦機エルガイム」

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

Baldur's Gate 3 Urge: Poor fools don't suspect a thing. Tbh, I didn't feel the motivation for this one cause there are too many drawbacks. I wish the game gave me a better reason to be EVIL beyond satisfaction from the deed alone. Also, Karlach and Wyll are staying 😈

مبارك عليكم الشهر Ramadan Mubarak my brothers

I like this meme format. Sue me. Also, I did feel like Spongebob a number of times listening to Patrick's BS for so long. Shitlibs are out there really saying this to my face that I did write back "MILLIONS!?" in all caps.

Baldur's Gate 3 Urge: Oh, yeah. 'Bout to start a raid on innocents and their protectors! Shame Karlach and Wyll would never approve, so

The Big O

Baldur's Gate 3: Wish I can make Volo trip before letting him examine my eye. Why?... Why not?

I thought "literaly genocide is bad" was not an unreasonable ask but I've been spit out by thousands of US folks that thought genocide had to remain negotiable given the circumstances of the previous elections, so however reasonable your ask, I wouldn't be too sure.

Remember when you thought this was a joke?

Remember, children. Drink water or risk constipation like this guy.
