vinland saga is good. has anyone heard about this?

Are you fucking kidding me it’s like we are living in a cartoon

Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana the size of Manhattan — while Meta runs ads about how small towns love their data centers, we found furious locals who plan to leave town completely.

Good to know this now before anyone gets too excited about this game.

In August, a bilibili account for “LinLi-Olivia” appeared depicting a virtual idol girl. After their first video post they were followed in minutes by lots of Mihoyo employees, AI industry figures, and notably the former CEO of Mihoyo - Cai Haoyu - and current president of HoYoverse Jim Yang.

this isn’t my MOST woke opinion but it is one i’m passionate about: borders shouldn’t exist and there should be complete freedom of movement globally. fuck visas. get rid of them

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

man why does every new tech scam use GPUs? crypto, NFTs, AI, all of it just makes graphics cards, the thing that's supposed to render computer graphics, stupidly more expensive

Been doing a lot more night driving lately since moving apartments and having a longer work commute, and I gotta say, what's being proposed here is the moderate position imo

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

this is how getting into mechsplo coming from a standard mecha headspace has been feeling

the best way to get out of an extrinsic game that you find yourself still playing despite disliking is to just force yourself to miss an event in-game. if you're the completionist type it's an extremely fast way to sever yourself from it

We're witnessing an intentional culling of the lower class. Currently over 50% of consumer spending is done by the top 10% & companies are adjusting their products & pricing to cater solely to an audience with "fuck you" money w/o concern for who is getting priced out. Housing. Food. Everything.

Sitting down to make an Official Thundercats TRPG, taking out a copy of D&D5E and staring at it thoughtfully for 16 hours before crossing out "Snarf" and writing "Halfling" next to it

Keep up the good work everyone

This is a really remarkable video essay on contemporary film and the theories of Laura Marks. It's making me think about movies in a new way.

RATTLE!

Saw this post on tumblr with an actual poll attached to it and the overwhelming winner was "I don't believe life begins at conception but I would still sell liquor to the baby"

been playing some green/red terra today, put some videos on the playlist

IT'S HER DAY

Fire Feline fell fairly far

Zelda cries and charge up power sword so man can fight other big man because she's not allowed to have agency type shit

its been a bit funny as the years go on to see more and more people realize nintendo is kinda just very much patriarchaly motivated in their stories, like it gets hard to ignore especially nowadays that they come clean about it, but whoever John Nintendo is in a given time is always very patriarchal

Happy 20th Rush!

Please do not say the two parties are the same despite the Democrat party's transparent desire to become the Republican party

The Democrat party will move heaven and earth to soothe the tears of any number of temporarily embarrassed nazis, but expecting them to fight for affordable health care or trans rights is "purity politics" and simply unreasonable to expect

happy 20th anniversary to blaze the cat, the best sonic character thats not sonic tails and knuckles. Everybody loves you blaze

“there is a point on the graph where things get Worse, and there you will find Ronald Reagan” stays undefeated

every time i see a liberal trying to shame the country as a whole for not voting in kamala harris and describing her as "a funny & smart black lady" and ignoring her apathy on gaza, her hand in maintaining slavery in california prisons, and her unabashed love for the US war machine, i get pissed

Personally, I think the idea that all women should be measured by the failures of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is actually a sort of sexist doomerism.

they call Samus "maternal" because she adopted one mitten (metroid kitten.) do we call every woman with a cat "maternal."

People keep replying to this with "did you forget how Samus saved a baby Metroid, it was right there all along?" and like yeah I remember that but I also remember that she eradicated the entire rest of its species first

I think all gaming executives should be obliterated & should just let the devs make fun things & get paid more without fear of being replaced by passionless machines & money hungry suits

Jesus Christ.

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

I see a lot of responses to this being “a lot of games have a wacky sidekick, what’s the big deal” but like… Metroid Prime in particular IMO is pretty defined by the sense of loneliness and discovering things on your own, I would say this qualifies as potentially devastating lol

Spending 500000 futurebucks and even hitting the attack only to roll like 15 damage

"lvl 5 barbarian with a good saving throw just straight no-selling the 500,000 credit torpedo when it rolls poorly, she cuts the damage in half with rage, and then cuts it to a quarter by saving" is a good bit, gotta say

if the Artifact torpedo that's worth "at least 500,000 credits", which does 20d20 damage but you still have to make an attack roll with it was a shitpost, it would be an incredible one. hall of famer. it's what someone who hates 5e would make to make fun of it; truly incredible

star wars 5e is funny for lots of reasons, but the one that's currently inflicting lasting harm on me is that there are Legendary torpedoes i'm sorry what do you MEAN there is a piece of materiel worth "at least 500,000 credits", which i can shoot from a shoulder-mounted tube, and then miss with

The worst part about Open World games is that the average gamer genuinely sees it as a step up, so once your franchise becomes open world its fucked forever because they'd see it as regressing otherwise

good morning

There is something so wild about this assumed understanding that you *have* to spoonfeed mechanics and narrative to meet a broader audience (something anyone who has ever expo'd a game would probably agree with!) when faced with the way the biggest games in the world all extremely Do Not Do This.

"Player who does not pay attention may be confused," has been a problem forever, but our modern age makes distraction easier and high-level folks especially scared of any friction. I believe in getting information flow right, but the "please handhold more" directions I got were rough sometimes.
