My next speedrun project is GROWL, btw Found some new optimizations w/ the sword (most fun way to play that game imo) and think sub-12 could be doable... Also it might be faster to use the whip in the early game then pick up the last sword available (start of stage 5) for the end, idk yet tho

oh hey my recent WR got verified finally! ROCK 'N ROLL www.speedrun.com/knuckle_bash...

re: last repost, "people behave badly on the internet bc Anonymous" is to this era what ~Stranger Danger~ was to the 80s & 90s

every single study done on this shows that the actual best behavior is done under consistent pseudonyms and people behave worse under real names it’s counterintuitive but at this point the real names thing is willful denial of evidence

After two years of research I made public a database of fighting games that are playable in some form on Windows 100% manually made in 90's HTML code that looks like shit on mobile. There's a lot of work left but I hope it will be helpful for some people hanagumi.denpa.cl/fightingdb/

Hi, does anyone here have experience with low-FODMAP diets? Have had digestive/bloating issues my whole life and this was suggested by a gastroenterologist i met with. Looking it up sounds really scary with all the rules, haha

this may well be the defining joke of our era theonion.com/guy-who-suck...

the craziest gaming news is vanillaware finally putting their games on steam

really striking to see so vividly what the antidote to all our horrible oorah tacticool masculinity politics looks like

So the khive crowd is rallying behind Becerra now and running the "you're racist if you criticize him" playbook - maybe this is just an extremely online California Dem thing and was never really a Kamala thing?

The way difficulty is discussed as if a game requiring effort to play on its own terms being an inherent negative is bizarre to me.

THANK YOU an explanation that rules out social media and smartphones

Biggest takeaway from this Chicago trip: Warrior Blade is the best arcade beat-em-up to recommend new players Tremendous aesthetics (+ the widescreen gimmick), good variety w/ the characters, and way easier than other arcade games here i 1CCed it my first time playing lmao

help i'm speedrunning GROWL again (current WR shows the whip fares better than i'd thought due to how well it handles large mobs, but i still think the sword will win out in the end with its quick kills on bosses - much, much harder and imo more satisfying way to play)

arcade games are like if someone invented jazz to sell gumballs

Before Tsuneki Ikeda became a household name in STG circles, he was a young programmer at Toaplan. His first-ever credit came on V-V, aka Grind Stormer, which, in hindsight, very obviously had his influence all over it. With Ikeda retiring this week, why not check out where his career began?

You know, this framing makes it seem like genAI is to this generation what Malcolm Gladwell was to the previous one...i think i can go along with that

I'm reluctant to speak up on trans topics these days because it's often not worth the pain caused, so I'm probably going to regret this, but disappointingly a lot of people need to hear this. Accusing trans women of "male socialization" is an astonishingly cruel, callous, and spiteful thing to say.

Fucking FINALLY a look into the lives of blue collar men that engages with but isn't about propping up the ideals of hegemonic masculinity

ty billy pencil for bringing about the return of “male socialization“ discourse wrt trans women on here shit like this is why such a large percentage of these communities doesn’t trust liberals

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

every single period in human history sucked. being alive is annoying. other people are annoying. getting old sucks. new stuff sucks. and nostalgia is very, very easy. people have always wished they could live basically anywhere and anywhen else, including places and times they used to hate.

As someone who's vocally distrusted Platner since the start, this saga does point to a major weakness in Bluesky politics culture: there's way too much focus on ideology and not nearly enough on *strategy* Nobody here is talking about how much his town halls have gotten him this far!

my latest for @theverge.com is about something i’ve been hearing constantly: Gen Z hates ”AI”, and many young people are deeply resentful of the jobs, schools, and institutions that are now pressuring or forcing them to use it.
