the best thing about being a retro game tourist is deciding you can turn on god mode halfway through half-life because it's an option. the worst part about being a retro game tourist is spending an hour trying to get half-life running on valve's own steam deck

smoke 'em if you've g'autumn

visiting my girlfriend for two weeks but she does have to work for the next three days so while she's out breadwinning i am, in fact, on gamer leave

mess with the rabbit, get the ears

i love autism. i love autistic people. i love my autistic friends & loved ones. i love those who depend on others for care. i love those who maintain essential infrastructure in their free time. i love those who don't even know they're autistic. society couldn't exist without autism & never will.

oh my god steam added sortname customization I CAN FINALLY ORGANIZE MY LIBRARY

it may be controversial and dangerous to say this, but i like video games.

fascinating how easy & worthwhile it is to cancel disney plus now that people on this continent are asking for it

i'm starting to think platforms won't save us

You should be able to plug any USBC device into any other USBC device and have it make a decent try. Like, I know if I connect a keyboard and display to my USBC battery it's unreasonable to expect much, but it should give me a little UI I can navigate with like one or two settings.

i think mario died when charles martinet retired. i don’t think super mario is alive anymore.

wait a second. this is so stupid. not only was labrador not even the guy’s name, it just meant landlord? 😭

mh wilds came in at the library and the main story is short enough that i’m finally sitting down to learn one of these (insect glaive is fun!) but it’s sooooo goofy how the characters you interact with look like instagram models while running around in the mud

i wish i had time anymore for 30-hour video games… i’ve only played one this year and that was because i needed something to occupy my hands and thoughts during a week of bereavement leave

i was making fun of him for just laying here curled up like a dead beetle & elizabeth was like "omg in honour of silksong..." & now i keep thinking abt it every time he does weird bug behaviours which is often

"good enough" automatic background noise cancelling in microphones/editing software has made content so bad to listen to

houses are no longer real. there are buildings which look like houses from the outside, full of what look like rooms on the inside, but the floors are fake and the walls are fake and the paint isn't paint and nothing works and it'll cost you

does anyone want to build a functioning society together

i wish i'd thought ahead & bought everything i might ever need when it was less expensive

That's me at the Kroger, that's me at the ShopRite, choosing my provisions

still thinking about how many games at SGF were the same incredibly boring version of horny and how much more mileage Hades is getting out of like, showing a collarbone

‘“Anarchism is just the way people act when they are free to do as they choose,” he writes in one essay, “and when they deal with others who are equally free.” Just like your local bowling club or credit union.’ @leninology.bsky.social on David Graeber: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

What we are witnessing with air Canada is a complete breakdown in Canada's industrial relations regime. It's part of a trend that should be scaring the hell out of average people.

Any part of a work that is made with GAI is a part where the creator said "eh I can't be bothered here. I don't care about this text/image/audio." I would literally rather play a game with stick figure art and no voice acting than one with filler GAI shit. I have loved many games like that, in fact

every nintendo adult needs to watch this video

maybe if people are going to worship algorithms as capricious spirits we should just lean into it

me at 5pm: i can have a doctor pepper. i’ll fall asleep me at 11:30pm lights off in bed: language is a technology we replicate compulsively, like dams to a beaver. language is a superorganism and we are its constituent cells. i should start a podcast

Yes. Once you start seeing this (Institution X probably wanted do this conservative thing anyway but now can blame it on Trump), it's everywhere. It's not capitulation, it's agreement. "We can stop doing this thing we started doing from 2014-2020 because of woke/progressive/anti-racist pressure."

saw a production of Comedy of Errors with the cast and set all mario-themed

you guys have no idea how much he loves his pickle

wireless earbud case suddenly not charging just over two years after buying it.... last pair lasted just over two years too... come on man

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

GHOST NIGHT 2 IS HERE! Clocking in. at nearly 15 minutes, this is the longest Baman Piderman episode, and maybe the best one! Enjoy!!

need a fragrance that will make me smell like freshly cut green onions

🍒 Whoa, what's this?! UFO 50 is available right now on #NintendoSwitch! #UFO50 #IndieWorld

free idea for someone starting testosterone: full cast recording of heinlein’s all you zombies where you record all the parts as your voice drops

game genres are so fuzzy and confusing...what's an Action Adventure game?? what do you actually do in an RPG?? to fix this, i got together with loads of my lovely friends to create a much more descriptive classification system. all games can be neatly placed into the New Genres

i love when pieces are in conversation bro

logging onto Bluesky

The fact that streaming services have tiers where you watch ads now is so insane. Go out of business NOW

maybe a “nation-building project” could be. i don’t know. an organized prevention and response system to cataclysmic wildfires

one hip only lies… one hip only tells the truth… shakira shakira…

had to think for a second about whether duct tape is vegan
