how it feels to be drunk when it's this hot

I have this set of thoughts that's more irritating headache than actual expressible formulation, about how games make it acceptable to endlessly retread the grammar and aesthetic of an existing work

My interest in The Amazing Digital Circus has gone from a very big minus to a slightly less vast minus now that I hear the ending has pissed off the sort of people who'd want to watch The Amazing Digital Circus

I am here once again to tell you to PLAY SEKTORI

"INFINITE SCROLL" https://bonequest.com/9931

These mechanics creep me out so much: having a doting princess who is devoted to you, speaks to you constantly, encourages you, just constantly notices what you're doing to make you feel important. It's alienating and gross to me, presumably because I wasn't raised on a diet of gacha slurry

Things have actually got worse since 1997.

thought I'd try that Adventures of Elliot demo, hoping to be pleasantly surprised. instead, it's so stultifying it comes across as parody

i still think if we got a couple really big streamers in on it we could get a gta 6 boycott going. not because of woke. just pure don't you want to crash the entire economy. don't you want to feel that power. we can do this together. all you have to do is not buy gta 6

I don’t see Joey Bragg on here so I’m hoping it’s okay to post this, which I thought was spot on about the problems with the DC multiverse line

Speculative fiction about if suddenly there was an "i" added in the middle of every single "to let" sign in the country overnight.

lmao were all the ZERO PARADES advance review copies sent out with the explicit proviso that the reviewers are not to mention the whole ZA/UM situation at all? I have seen all but one review mention it, and that one did so in a way that indicated it was stupid to care about it

The power scaling discourse I have been unwillingly subject to on twitter... a hearty reminder that you should treat everyone online as if they are 11 until proven unequivocally otherwise

Survival games? I actually call them thrival games because I do so well in them

Double-D Detective (Cour 1, 2026): Anita "Anya" Țepeș is a flat-chested private detective whose body, due to a clerical error during an exorcism, is possessed by two identical souls of Dracula that manifest as two huge breasts when they combine their powers. Together they must solve a terrible crime

So gauche to use the term "gaymer". No thank you I am a fagmer

Some of you may find this unpleasant, grotesque, but because the skin is so thick this is the only way to cook them all the way through

Spotted on Tumblr…

I think there's a completely black magpie living outside my house. How strange. It's sitting with a few regular magpies in a little social group.

Reading Crime and Punishment. It's sooooo long. and so many generic middle-aged white men? what if it were a LitRPG where Raskolnikov is isekai'd to a utopic pastoral Alpine village and becomes a cute witch girl who solves the "crime" of a missing cat.

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

in a surprisingly dark turn for nintendo, fox mccloud has really let himself go due to depression and alcoholism, in what critics are already calling "the most recent remake of starfox 64 yet"

The Metroid Prime Trilogy will continue in Metroid Prime 4: Part II, out in summer 2032

Got some big MegaTen fans here in Glasgow

Oh was the queem there?

This cellar door phrase becomes an intrusive thought at least three times a week for me

It's funny that the CEO of a company that makes a product like Monument Valley, which is more Corporate Memphis aesthetic flash animation than game, actually has any other employees

Joining the gay rugby team, but unlike everyone else on it who is really passionate about watching and playing rugby and has been for most of their lives, I'm uniquely joining so I can get photographed running around in little muddy shorts, and post the pics on my socials.

Heard this animal cacophony under the botanics bridge this morning. A bunch of mallards drakes were ganging up on a hen who was not happy about it. Like... I know this is the way they reproduce generally, but I still had to wave my hands and shout "oi" at them a bit to let them know I disapprove

sight of night I cheer to embrace a maaaagic

Another thing that bothers me about "enshittification" is that the term implies that something good is being diminished. The rot is the point. It was designed in from the start. The "good" period was always temporary.

This lady is a generational talent in being a hater. Like if Robert Christgau stopped enjoying music in 1970 but kept listening and writing every day since regardless. She writes like PC Supremacist Sephiroth and I would not change a thing about her even if it were possible to do so.

Me and my friends would’ve looksmaxxed Clavicular with hammers I can tell you that much

Clavicular is a 20 year old child and famous for no good reason, not due to any particular celebration-worthy talent. He is a victim of a form of mental illness that is exacerbated by attention. However, if I come up with a good joke about him, I will post it.

When the official Moomins website says it's valid to think of Moomin and Snufkin as a gay couple: awww that's sweet When Mark Hammill gives you permission to use your imagination to picture Luke Skywalk as a kind of gay space volcel: hello HR?????????

omg can you believe PCs used to look like this

What if the next one is Final Fantasy VII: Revengeance, and Cloud gets so fucked up by his dunk in the lifestream that they have to replace everything but his hair with robot parts

everybody is horny and nobody is beautiful :(

Instead of saying good morning when I wake up next to my boyfriend I am going to start saying "we're so back" and see how long it is until he pushes me out of the window

Had a dream about a TV series called Gang Girls Pierrot, featuring yassified clown girls on motorbikes. Could be a winner if someone wants to get me in touch with a network or streaming service

It's so funny watching shounen anime because after a certain point (about ten episodes) each fight scene just becomes an argument about who understands the T&Cs of whatever nonsense magical system it has in play

his detective what

It's so interesting to see people who have never been exposed to Hollywood's visual grammar reacting to and discussing it with wit and honesty

wow gamers are gonna go wild for DLSS 5

Have you been personally victimised by Timothee Chalamet? You could be owed compensation - check your eligibility now!

they blew it up because the rape crisis network an example of how services could be delivered in a trans-inclusive way, and completely undermined their scaremongering around the GRR

Scotland’s rape crisis network was, under increasing difficulty financial circumstances, offering support to survivors in a way that was inclusive of both trans survivors and staff, and people like Susan Dalgety blew it all up

If we want to end this RAM crisis sooner, someone has to get Trump into PC gaming
