Amazing timing for a double yawn 😭

oh I see I see they made the colosseum of fools mandatory for the best ending this time I see

How much did y’all “clean up” Silksong before finishing Act 2? I think it’s been close to 10 hours ago that I found the final Act 2 boss, then I was like “no, let me just go do this one thing first”.

today I learned, in Zelda II, Link canonically fucks

15/ tl;dr Take the money you're giving Disney and give it to people doing fearless journalism, fearless art, fearless stories.

I'm listening to music. Arcade Fire's "We Used to Wait" came up. I love this song. It speaks of how instant everything is now, and of how we should probably waste more time, writing by hand, walking around. I stopped to read the lyrics. Then I caught myself reading ahead. Fuck. I used to wait.

Huge respect to the talent speaking up.

More of THIS kind of post, please!

It's been a while since I last became a FAN of someone else's work, but I have to say @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social has got a new fan in me.

Option A: Do stop-motion with the easy material you can easily manipulate frame after frame Option B: Do stop-motion in the most absurdly wasteful and time consuming way possible by 3D printing every frame, ✨but you get to post content about it✨ ugh I'm all out of patience for this world

I'm always rooting for Medium to become more relevant. Hopefully they announce something to straight-up take on 🤢Substack.

imagine sitting in a boardroom arguing that complicity in fascism is fine because you want to buy something called “fubo”

I followed all the cool people who post the important, relevant, and timely stuff. Then I found out there is absolutely such a thing as too much important, relevant, and timely stuff.

The #AlabasterDawn Demo is OUT NOW! Playtime around 1.5 hours! 9 Enemy Types 4 Boss Battles Story, Exploration AND Puzzles! Saves will carry over to future versions! NOW ON STEAM: store.steampowered.com/app/3900710/...

Also not really worth mentioning but interesting nonetheless: Both Alabaster Dawn and Crosscode run on that most widely-respected game engine... HTML5. No, really.

Also the demo's up for Alabaster Dawn! The follow-up (not a sequel, but very mechanically similar) to the fantastic Crosscode. High-powered, high-speed ARPG. Like Zelda, Ys and Terranigma thrown into a blender. Big puzzles, big numbers, big combat. It moves SO GOOD. 'Kinetic' is an understatement.

Woke up, scrolled through Bluesky for a few minutes, and now I’m really mad I can’t just get the fuck back to sleep again immediately.

10 years ago I played a game assembled in RPG Maker called "Nether Novel" (a parody of Undertale) and this NPC dog has lived in my head rent-free ever since.

I really wish I had it in me to delete Bluesky. This app is not good for me. But I can scarcely imagine going through my day without having a feed of bite-sized writing to read, and I damn sure will not be going to X or to Threads for that.

Use this post to speedrun past a lot of discourse

this is how I feel about, like, America, as a whole

I hate that I let myself fall so much behind on @eggplantshow.bsky.social’s Year of UFO 50, ‘cause now I can’t join in at the finish line

Age verification: I have no idea

I’m straight up losing it

I know GMTK is not the be-all-end-all in game design analysis, but I'm still quite surprised that he just posted an entire video on Silksong difficulty without even a passing mention of the crucial aspect that Hornet heals for 3 masks at a time and her healing is much safer that the Knight's.

I didn't install macOS Tahoe in beta 100% because I was worried Arc would shit its pants. Today, I installed the Tahoe full stable release, and Arc shat its pants. I had to re-install it, but I lost all my profiles, extentions., and favorites And now its native AdBlocking doesn't work. 😩😩😩😩

The only appropriate time to sleeve cards is after the game has been played so much that the cards are starting to fall apart, and you need the sleeves to hold it together just a little longer.

in the last vid, i showed off the scuffed cards in the game, and some of the comments were "this is why you sleeve things" and i'm like: no? this is precisely why you DON'T sleeve things. if i sleeved those cards, how would i get them scuffed?

I will now only be addressed as “Ticket to Ride Europe World Class Specialist” tyvm

I think I might be ready to say I definitively regret purchasing the DK Bananza DLC. Way to cap that game off with a sour note… And worst part is it’s NOT because it was bad. It was simply because of the price. That thing is not worth $20.

In a landscape with so many incredibly tightly-designed metroidvanias, Silksong's exclusion of quality-of-life features is not an oversight!! It is essential to understanding the game!

Oh. That's the Victory Heat Rally Devs posting Stonetoss comics over Charlie Kirk unironically calling the left evil. So hey glad I didn't apply for that code, and any games journo people, maybe reconsider covering that game. Cause uh. Whewf. Source is @dreampathos on Birdsite, obviously.

Having intrusive thoughts, of the kind I should mention to my therapist. Like "I should get into politics"

Never in my life I needed to log off more than I need to log off today. googling "where's the nearest touchable grass"

On Reddit, everyone is dumb as a rock. On Bluesky, it’s nonstop politics and “look at how bad the world is”. On BGG, there’s only one subject. On Discord servers, I can’t keep up with conversations. Facebook, Instagram, other social media, I’m out. I feel internet homeless.

One policy solution to Young Men we should be considering is Universal Basic Electric Guitar (UBEG). I'm not joking, by the way. Kids of any gender should get a low-cost starter kit for some hobby of their choosing once they turn 13. A camera, paints, a cheap sampler, etc.

If this is the way Bluesky moderation is acting now, I really don't wanna be here the day "it" finally happens.

Bluesky moderation is absolutely out of fucking control right now just absolutely arbitrary politically motivated suspensions and bans. No explanations. No adherence to terms of service. It’s literally impossible to know what we are and aren’t allowed to say.

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

I’m super sorry to be such a Nintendo First Parties basic bitch, but my top 3 things from the Nintendo Direct were 3. Mario Galaxy remakes 2. DK Bananza DLC 1. That new Yoshi game that looks like it plays very much like Yoshi’s Island and has a similarly striking art style

Fuck Chris Pratt

I still can’t buy a PlayDate without jumping through a million hoops and paying 6x how much it costs, but hey — at least my country unequivocally condemned our president who plotted against our democracy with decades of jail time. 🇧🇷
