I feel like people tend to pick items/tools/skills in games like Silksong which they think will make the game easier for them. I think that's the wrong choice most of the time, you should pick the items/tools/skills that will make you better at the game/master the game's mechanics.

One reason I dont watch a lot of normal political content from liberals is because it's clear that so much of their political project is just "owning the right wingers" for likes and clicks.

Rush

If Jimmy Fallon, the least offensive idiot to ever grace late night television, is on the chopping block, every person who doesn't wear a MAGA hat should assume they're in danger of losing their jobs too.

We're living in the future where absolutely anyone Trump doesn't like, or Trump might not like, is risking their job. He's not even popular you capitulating morons!

Conservatives make way more sense if you accept that whatever they want to be true is true as far as they're concerned. You find this tendency across the entire spectrum of right wing beliefs. It's more spiritually certain way to live, that's for sure. It's also abhorrent.

Dems desperately need to stop dwelling on what is "strategically" good or not. Republicans control all three branches of the government and haven't made a "strategically good" move (by Dem standards) in over a decade. Voters hope their reps stand for something and aren't just making it up as they go

Being trans is great, but it would nicer during a time when my mere existence is not a form of protest

I'm was a near-impoverished kid who grew up with Nintendo, spends way too much time talking about Nintendo games, and still, Nintendo-centrism is annoying. I've been trying to stop contributing to it.

I find it so funny that they didn't have chatgpt pen the script (for obvious reasons)

Aftermath article about my one of my favorite movies, yes please!

My "restricted page" is the same way. Multiple videos about trans topics and mental health are available, but not videos on Shadow of the Colossus or Ocarina of Time.

Silksong is good. Hollow Knight was good too. But both games leave me with little new to ponder or enjoy. At the end of the day they're experiences I've had before, but relived with pleasant nostalgia and the most excellent attention to detail.

I made a video essay about playing Hollow Knight with my 3 year old. Who knows, you might enjoy it.

It was a pretty good week to watch movies

Chappell Roan has never made a song as gay as "What is this Feeling" from Wicked. I don't know if anyone has.

It's absurd that Ro Khanna evokes famously gay Oscar Wilde, who was also prosecuted for homosexuality, and compares it to what's going on with Linehan, as if arresting someone for being gay and arresting someone for harassing trans people are the same mistake.

I can't play Silksong with my child until tomorrow (working all day). So please everyone, do not play or post about it until we get a chance.

I made a video essay about playing Hollow Knight with my 3 year old. Who knows, you might enjoy it.

I just played through the game with my 3 year old and after we encountered one we became scared of all future caterpillars (even though we did not encounter another mimic).

I wonder if anyone else at my University gets a small panic whenever a campus announcement is made because the administration might spontaneously rip their rights away.

It can't be understated how easy these issues should be for dems, easy talking points: - It's discrimination to expel a minority group from the armed services - It's discrimination to give a minority group incorrect passports on purpose - It's discrimination to deny healthcare to a minority group

I think we're becoming a baseball family because my 3-year-old now calls themselves "Abner" (after Milwaukee relief pitcher Abner Uribe) whenever we play catch.

I'd have a much better time here if I didn't have to see transphobes from people I follow.

I think one of the things people misunderstand about being anti-ChatGPT and related products is that they are being forced into institutions and other products and services in ways that affect all of our lives whether they work or *not* and we will all have to deal with the consequences

Thoughts on Donkey Kong Bananza, since I'll never make a video about it. 1. It's pretty middle of the road. What's interesting gets old fast after the first few levels, it has little to no challenge, and it's got all the trappings of time wasting you expect from a collectathon.

anyone who uses tragedy to attempt to take away trans health care is a genocidal maniac who wants to inflict pain on an entire community

I don't think enough people are across just how catastrophic an entire generation being raised on roblox and fortnite is going to be for the ENTIRE video game industry, not just the AAA end these kids have no interest in playing or paying for anything else. and they're not "growing out of it".

My requirements for any Democrat running for president are simple: 1. Undo/reverse every single anti-trans policy the Trump administration has implemented. 2. Pledge not to further restrict trans people's rights. 3. Support the passage of the Equality Act and make it a priority.

My radical political opinion is that we're all human beings in need of community with other human beings (and a chat bot can't be that community)

A video on the hate campaign against Ms. Rachel for being pro-Palestinian children, but really a video about right-wing attacks on children's early education, but really a video about the importance of emotional literacy. Fantastic watch

Everything makes me cry lately, here is a thread to document it

Conversation my 3yo had with another 3yo when my wife and I picked them up: Other kid: You have two moms? My kid: Yup! Other kid: Okay!

making it my duty to glaze up this community while I wait for the dryer cycle to finish 🌞🙌

When I watch movies, I find myself constantly asking how straight couples can stand each other long enough to have a baby, but you don't see me complaining.

quitting my career to start making video essayist fancam capcut edits

This episode was the most emotional to write. Friend Breakups are so under-discussed, but can shake the very core of who we think we are. They can hurt SO much more than Romantic Breakups, but we aren't given the same tools to heal. Anyway here’s Amy breaking up with her ex-best friend Manny Quinn

I think it's increasingly important to remember that yeah, a lot of us *do* need to physically transition to SURVIVE, period.

I liked Hollow Knight but for the past seven years I haven't really cared about the sequel. Now I'm jazzed because my kid and I are just finishing the new Donkey Kong game and Silksong can be the game we play together after. I'm lucky to only be hyped the last two weeks of the wait 😂

A lot of celebration about AI's demise today, but even when the evaluations flame out every teacher in higher education is still fucked over forever. At least I'll stop being asked when I'll start incorporating LLMs into my courses.

Wow, I can't believe the parity between the different trans mains. Very well balanced game.

It's time to start adding review scores to my videos. I will pretend they are out of 10, but then give all media either a 1/10 (didn't like it) or a 10/10 (did like it). Thanks for reading this update, please give it a 10/10.

george just ain't my type

What's the best manga for adults. I don't mean "adult because it has sex and/or violence" (but still really for children), I mean "written for adults." Ideally on the short side and not intensely fantasy/sci fi.

In about fifty years historians will universally decide to set 2010 to the year 0 AM (after minions).

Chibi-Robo is so goated. I should have made a 2 hour video about it ages ago

Maybe the most beautiful possible description of what an essay can do, what I feel my job is. Of course it's from Patricia Lockwood. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I don't fully get this setting, because my videos about trans topics are still available but my multi-hour reviews of Ocarina of Time, Shadow of the Colossus, and Portal 2 are not. I'm wondering if the mode is related use of curse words or something? Maybe it's factoring in video length?

I am genuinely terrified everyone will forget, or has already forgotten, how different people were 15-20 years ago. Since then, all technological innovation has worked toward the goal of sapping human attention as a commodity and society is far worse for it.

I'm not the kind of gal who "wouldn't hurt a fly," but I do get pretty sad when the deed must be done.
