My new street is interesting, all my neighbors stand in their driveway talking and watching the street King of the Hill style all day.

The worst thing about buying a new home in the current world is that EVERY SINGLE service that I need to interact with now is forcing me through an ai phone bot before I can talk to a real person. It is INFURIATING when because if I'm calling, its a question complex enough to need a real person.

The shipping community for The Pitt is unhinged. People shipping characters that have never even been in the same room together. People misreading suicidal depression for love. Its wild that people are shipping characters with zero chemistry whatsoever.

Sorry to the randos I'm about to absolutely suck at battlegrounds with. I need my alchemy recipie and I'm terrible at pvp.

Windows 14 rumored to have a free trial with no limit on playtime all the way up to level 70, including the award winning expansions "Heavensward" and "Stormblood," sources say.

Anyway Harandar is just more proof that Azeroth is flat, but y’all aren’t ready for that convo. If Azeroth is round and the cradle is the center of the planet, then please explain how gravity works there.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I own a house, crazy.

I need a cooking show where the judges are kids that are picky eaters. The chefs have to make meals that the kids will eat, and halfway thru the cooks the kids are changing their mind about what they want.

Your worship strengthens me, thank you everyone for celebrating my day.

Wondering how long it will take for people to come around to my dislike of Gavin Newsom. It feels like every week I find a new reason to distrust him.

Super exciting that we get two Friday the 13ths back to back, and also that my move in date for my new house (wild saying that) is likely to be Friday the 13th

TFW you are in mid-escrow and you see that the Phillipines just made it legal for same-sex couples to own a house and you're just like: Oh fuck, I hope my country doesn't just arbitrarily decide I can't own property with my husband soon. 🙃

Age verification? I was there when the commercial of mog interviewing monsters for ff3 premiered.

I really need people to stop referring to every gay ship they are suddenly noticing as “heated rivalry in x universe.” There are a ton of different ship tropes, and not all of them are enemies to lovers. Learn your ship types and do proper comparisons please.

So anyway, it’s now come out that several of the board members of Activision Blizzard during the time of our walkouts around the treatment of women were all heavily featured in the Epstein files. This is my not shocked face.

AWS appears 225 times in the Epstein files. It’s always your heroes that let you down.

Protip: if you don’t want Google suggesting what you are trying to search for, start your question with “what the fuck…” “why the fuck…” or “who the fuck…” Example: “what the fuck does apple of my eye mean?”

When I was reading the Mistborn series I often wondered what a game about the mental allomancy skills might look like. Playing The Thaumaturge right now and it feel pretty close to the spirit of that type of game. Enjoying it a lot.

Just as a heads up, I am loving Starfleet Academy. I'm pretty sure the amount of queer characters exceeds the amount of het characters. Its wild just how effortlessly they integrate queerness as a normal part of life in the show. #starfleetacademy #spoilers

Was watching the new Starfleet Academy and husband saw a guy and a girl having angry tension and he was like "they are gonna end up together." I whipped out the "gawd, why cant girls and guys just be friends anymore, stop trying to force het relationships into everything." #flipedscript

This is just to say If you've loved someone for almost your whole life If you have pined them for almost a decade You don't just suddenly stop loving them Over the course Of a single Episode #strangerthings #byler #StopLettingStraightPeopleWriteQueerCharactersChallangeImpossible

Really need people to stop using the word bromance to describe actual queer male couples. It’s not a bromance, they are dating.

Wills coming out scene felt like it existed to make straight people feel better about themselves rather than empowering gay people.

Any of my followers good with music theory able to help me with something? In Damocles there’s a vocalization at about 1:15 that I believe is a 1 4 6 4 2 in f sharp major. Is that correct? Also, are there any other songs out there that use this same progression in any key that you are aware of?

The comphet crew will jump through any hoop to justify homophobia.

Trump really treating these file drops like it’s season 5 of a Netflix show

Ok but I’m calling it right now. The song that will play when Mike realizes he’s in love with Will I’m ST is gonna be “Mine” by Sleep Token. It’s literally the perfect song for the moment. It’s got ST music, it centers itself around the word “will”, and it encapsulates their whole vibe.

id Software workers form wall-to-wall union in response to mass Xbox layoffs

Watching this and its interesting to me to think about how much gender roles/expectations feel similar to socioeconomic roles/expectations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nekz...

30 years late to the party but I just now realized that Cera from Land Before Time was not named Sarah, and realized why she’s named Cera. Was playing Ark with a friend when he called a triceratops a Cera and it all clicked.

The most ironic thing about D&D is that barbarian players all seem to need calculators on hand every time they hit.

TIL that Groovy automatically elevates variables to global scope if you dont use the def keyword. That was an annoying issue to debug. Especially because Jenkins will automatically collapse parallel builds with the same parameters into a single build.

So let me get this straight, in Cyberpunk, to get to the gay romance, you have to: 1. Let Johnny take over your body and nonconsentually try to use it to have sex with a woman 2. Even if you tell him you dont want him to use your body again because of that, you are forced to let him

It feels like they/them characters always end up with a woman in media. Its so hard to find any media where they/them folks end up with masc-presenting SOs.

I have cried a lot over D&D in the past, but I've never cried over my own campaign until today. My character was faced with an impossible choice and in making it, I broke my own heart and was literally sobbing as I was trying to form the words to say in character. God that felt so cathartic.

I live in Portland and I don’t feel unsafe, there is no war zone here, life is as normal. Protests all exist within a single city block that doesn’t affect me at all. Protestors are all in plainclothes or dumb cosplay, peaceful and unobstructive to anyone other than ICE

the right are always trying to redefine feminism as whatever bullshit it is they’re currently trying to sell.

And of course there will be a section of people who decide that its got to have some health benefit. And likely some of those people will be platformed to say so on Fox news.

A law of D&D that no one tells you. As a GM you will invariably create a character you mean to be helpful to the party that you love dearly, but one that the players will determine is their arch-enemy. You have to be willing to buy into the player's hatred because they won't change their mind.

Video games have a serious crediting problem, but unions can help "Being properly credited on a title is essential to our individual careers as workers, and also just general fairness. Being able to say, 'Hey, I worked on this,' is important to show the work you did and not undercut labor."

Trying to do a thing with Unity Netcode and my exact problem has been described on 4 different threads. On every thread an insufferable dude hops on (same guy) and is like "just dont do that, reimplement built in unity logic yourself" and I just dont understand why hes so insistent on being an ass

So I never really caught "Girls" when it was in the zeitgeist. But I'm watching it now and really loving it. I think that Shosha, despite her flaws, is my favorite character in the show, followed by Hannah. I get annoyed that Marnie is constantly accusing Hannah of being what she herself is.

Absolutely correct. Our game would be nowhere near as good without the excellent voice cast and their performances.

Its 2034 and WoW Classic, due to its rate of release, has reached where WoW Live is. What happens now? Wrong answers only.

I heard Metaphor ReFantazio had no romance in it, I was excited to not be pressured into heteronormativity. Twas a bait and switch unfortunately, at the end two of the women basically throw themselves at you with no way for you to reject them, so fucking fun. Either give me gay or opt me out.

There are NaN hard problems in coding: ERR: STRING_NOT_FOUND

Worth noting, I know a lot of gamedevs who work for Microsoft, and all of them are below this "Average worker compensation." 194k is director-level pay, most gamedevs fall well short of this, 40-160k is the general range for most IC gamedevs.
