i made an underage account for my son just so he wouldn't be exposed to this stuff (i check his usage sometimes, it's all prank stunt fails and "messi 101 best goals", couldnt be prouder)

had to sell both my hokas because they were both hiking shoes and they were KILLING my legs. got paid for a consult so replaced them with sneakers, big improvement

the two biggest studios in the space took a hard turn a decade ago, and I hate it. adjacency bonuses, megacities, diplomacy changes, I hate it, they've almost completely lost sight of what made these games so cool. endless legend 2 is just the latest example.

some days you wake up and miss mike fahey

what leaving united does to a man

Stepped outside of my comfort zone to write this story about a really cool group of players in a military simulation video game! Absolute pleasure to work with @aftermath.site and @rcmacleod.bsky.social. Please give it a read!

It's a good website that's only possible because people are subscribing. If that's not you yet, you should think about it; subs are powering an entire video games website, allowing it to post daily with no access and no corporate ownership and no bullshit, it's great aftermath.site/aftermath-si...

oh so this is what Cinderella felt like when the carriage turned back into a pumpkin (2024 v 2025)

australians havent been this excited about athletics since the 2000 olympics, this kid is FLYING

its important to dig into the tiniest of details to see just how stupid everyone in the trump administration is in this case, the criminally inept director of the fbi repeatedly wearing liverpool ties, which must be the most anti-cop club in world football www.theguardian.com/football/202...

so many people who try to transition to paid writing fail because they think the writing is the job, when it's not. the business is the job. please learn more about the business!

they've got their own problems, but everything has problems. i really like the little clusters this generates, and also the names.

keep having this conversation irl and the answer i keep coming back to is "we were better off without the internet"

cannot stress enough how good scorigami is as with the best secret base vids, you don't need to know a damn thing about the sport, or even like it, to be able to enjoy it

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

i plug my car into the wall where it charges using the power of the sun

there are few things late stage capitalism and its vampiric reseller market have impacted more thoroughly than... buying sneakers. look at these hoops people gotta jump through. im so tired.
