when someone's nice to me :)

and I would wager the amount of "estimated incidents" here is optimistic low-balling

I started playing FF14. I don't think it's a glowing recommendation of my mental health that something I used to find utterly appealing is now sustaining me as the only thing I am doing in my free time but... Cactuar go brr

I'm glad Obsession isn't about making fun of clingy girlfriends (as if that is the worst thing that can happen to a man) and instead a real ass take on pet ownership. Excuse me while I go kiss my cat who I love more than anyone in the world

I would love to tell people who apologize for calling the crisis hotline and not being actively in crisis that we love having people who are not completely escalated and in mortal danger, as a little treat

i love her!

I challenge all "realists" to ask themselves why they don't want the label "pessimist" even though that's still 100% what they are (said as a recovering pessimist/"realist")

part of whats creep about GenAI is that it lacks the ability to hate itself so when you correct it, its just like "haha yeah you're right. anyway, back on my bullshit"

we all knew Infold was going to fumble LaDS, so here we are

I'm feeling a tremendous amount of hope you should too.

Absofuckinglutely. Decorum is a tool of the oppressor. They wield it to better squash the passionate, compassionate, and emotionally engaged individual ; whilst letting the truly evil roam free, as long as they maintain the appearance of propriety.

forgot how the original Mass Effect female romanceables were all like "oh don't worry, I am EXTREMELY young. barely older than a child!"

i'm sorry WHAT they just dropped a whole ass new char in LaDS?

I know AI won't work out as intended because people fucking lost their shit when Dragon Age 2 sometimes reused the same dungeon layout for different quest instances and it wasn't even a big deal beyond just recognizing there was a pattern. Once ppl know how the magic trick is done, they're out

RPG module writing tip: Put a hot mean lady in it.

The Berlin Zoo named their baby Hippo Brötchen. :) (Bread roll 🥖)

all carbon monoxide detectors are either "not working" or "actively telling me that I'm being poisoned because it's working (blinking red or has a convenient button to validate fears)"

what sucks as a hypochondriac is that all injuries and illness pretty much have the same symptoms because they're all just symptoms of stress and struggle, so there's no way for me to truly know if I have carbon monoxide poisoning or I'm just a lil stressed out

i will never stop watching @patstaresat.bsky.social thank you

Wake up and damn, Kairosoft One Piece game huh

#Pokopia update from #NintendoDirect #Pokemon

POKOPIA DLC !!!!!!!!!! UNDERSEA BIOME

This will never not be satisfying.

Saw the Titanique (Broadway parody of film Titanic) producer asked if Heated Rivalry is next. Guess what those properties have in common that would encourage ppl to make fun of them! Maybe it's the same as Twilight, Hunger Games... Gee what is that magical ingredient that makes something punchable?

sometimes gacha games/collectible hobbies seem like diseases when you see other people utterly inflicted with engaging with them past the point of being fun. there is this moment of gratitude you find in realizing you don't have to pretend not to loiter around a pokemon vending machine

They learned too!! Out on all platforms at once www.ign.com/articles/fin...

dress spheres lets gooooooooo

My sister recommended the Off Campus show but I'm struggling to make it past 20 mins. it unfortunately feels like an Elle Kennedy book, that is to say, stilted, unchallenging, boring but hoping spice makes up for that, and utterly bloated with characters. 😞 I'll soldier on ...

You don't have to have a boring "mature" room. You can fill it with garish, gaudy things that spark joy and feel authentic to who you are... because if not, then your room is just a trauma response, not a home

For me, autism looks like difficulty staying in touch. If I don't see someone every day, I may not think to talk to them. When I do think of it, I may not know how to initiate. And then, I will put it off and forget. Dear neurotypicals, reach out first! #actuallyautistic #AutismAwarenessMonth #nd

Halfway through! I'm also studying poses while drawing her 🥰 🌸

you know what's beautiful? outside of all the bad things we are living through, there are so many good things we are seeing the dawn of. can you even wrap your head around mental healthcare being a science created in your lifetime? that we only learned what trauma was since you've been alive?

Once people have gotten you into a position where you do all their thinking for them, they do not stop. The Internet loves to accuse people pleasers of being fake and resentful, but never once do they stop trying to take advantage of them.

when can we start talking about the male literacy crisis. is it cultural? is it considered a beta cuck submissive thing to read words on a page? i'm so serious, is it similar to how men don't have to anticipate the needs of their partners, they shouldn't be forced to comprehend someone else's words?

in college I needed to do a project in another city but I didn't drive so I asked if someone could drive me for $50 and even someone muttered "that's a lot of money" but no one took me up on it so I had to conclude that company with me cost much more than that

I wonder if part of the coolness of cigarettes and smoking is the implicit "i don't care (i am not okay)" compared to vaping's "i'm not okay (i was told this was fine)"

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

the internet is the 'mountain out of a molehill' factory. things that are minor annoyances get ballooned to major problems (bug in a game is the worst thing to ever happen to you) and small things that we notice get meme'd to hell (CVS receipts are long, Nokia are invincible)

Unrepressing trauma takes years. Even when you can believe yourself, you still tuck the memory away in the same part of your brain and don't look at it. I thought that I'd processed it and was "over" it. No, it just went back to bed.

I dreamt that i googled "how to turn depression into fuel for cars" and thats pretty much where america is at right now

proof that the internet is the world's greatest union is how in the past, if the oligarchs were this aggressive with implementing something like AI years ago it would just happen. We have tools of power now and can create fun little words like "slop" to undermine even billionaires

"we would like to send you notifications" is the worst thing anyone has ever said to me

i often think about this review

as someone whose username is based on a sith witch... yea

PBS so real for this www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHAa...

A lot of younger players don't understand how bad it used to be. You had games that would let you play as a woman, but would give you stat penalties, or make (male) characters treat you differently, or just half-ass it and swap the sprite but not bother updating any text. We've come really far.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)
