I'm lucky to have never been taken by the Slay the Spire bug, but my thoughts are with all of my gamer comrades in this difficult time. May all your lives still be there when this passes.

They got my ass, dawg. They made Pokémon Animal Crossing. I got a Switch 2 now.

We have to figure out how our society continues to produce so many people who think the most genius political thought anyone has ever had is "Why do you criticize Democrats but not Republicans?" because in every measure of human intelligence they're tanking the averages.

Sorry for libbing out, but it IS pretty fucked up that instead of healthcare, the Nazi pedos running this evil country use all the tax money to make the rest of the world miserable.

I would love to know how many "separate the art from the artist" mfs abruptly stopped playing Drake on their Spotify account in the middle of 2024. Because all of them should have to listen to both discs of Scorpion every time they go online to defend Harry Potter again.

Some days it feels like we're still waiting for Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, Rush Limbaugh, etc., to finally die.

Years of @libbycwatson.com VODs have conditioned my brain to respond a certain way when seeing a small TV installed in an awkward location, so now an ER visit includes a nice little treat just for me.

Enough.

I clock in to my dev job at Microsoft and walk to my cubicle. All my coworkers are screaming. From a drawer I retrieve a 5-pound sledge hammer. I take the hammer in my right hand and place my left hand on the center of my desk. "Windows 12 is gonna be awesome." I raise the hammer above my head.

JSON is proof that developers should never be allowed to design anything.

Falinks! Lil guys!

I should not post what I think about The Troops, but you can probably guess what it is. 😜

And they called it operation bacon??? You fucking kidding me??

On second thought, maybe I'll just go back to sleep for another hour.

If meat gets so expensive I have to eat beef liver, I'm just going vegetarian bros. I don't care that much

The company that figured out how to make an onion ring with no onion in it has decided the thing they need to focus on is the employees smiling more.

They fired a bunch of people at my job today, just like they did 3 months ago, and just like they're almost certainly going to do again 3 months from now. Anyways, Linkedin is approximately 90% AI-generated garbage now. The content, the replies, everything. Absolute clown show.

I'm guessing it's no coincidence that I'm seeing "Claude Code" everyfuckingwhere now after that stupid PR puff piece New Yorker ran for Anthropic. Maybe the least organic interest spike I've ever seen in anything.

Made a trip to Costco specifically to get Beanz and got a whole bunch of shit I wasn't there for. Also forgot Beanz.

My NCS/EMG was totally fine. Nowhere near as bad as what friends said theirs were like. Maybe they gave me the baby version for little bitches because they could tell.

Bout to find out if "electromyography" is as horrific as it sounds. Wish me luck! 😎👍🥳

I hope someday that nobody will ever have to read or hear the word "enshittification" ever again.

In honor of Bsky now supporting Bandcamp embeds, reposting my big project from last year. An attempt to disguise some "guitar music" songs inside a bunch of drum machines and synthesizer noises. 😁 It's also very depressing! Enjoy! damagedecade.bandcamp.com/album/everyt...

We won't truly appreciate it until it happens, but man the Epstein stuff is gonna make the next wave of Harry Potter defender "discourse" so funny

All time writer in bio moment

Another day, another letter notifying me my data was stolen in a breach of some healthcare middleware provider.

It's perfectly acceptable for "the left" to oppose things for moral or ethical reasons. People are not obligated to abandon their concerns because some charlatan thinks they're insufficiently "excited" about something. That goes doubly for technology deployed by capital against labor.

Finally, a W in the "I'm still going to call it oat milk and you can't stop me" column.

That's crazy man, I do that at 8 AM too. Then at about 8:02 AM I start doing other stuff. But I guess it would be cool if I could read all that stuff with a bunch of the words bolded and a bulleted list made of emojis. How many municipal water supplies would that cost?

Thinking about how Geometry Wars was huge back in the day. They put it on basically every system for a few years. There were *several* sequels. It rocked and it kept getting better. And now that whole franchise is just gone.

I really hate that we lost the linguistic war on "AI hallucinations." It feels futile to keep reminding people that AI is fundamentally incapable of thought when so much of the anti-AI crowd is obsessed with "lol funny word"

In this life, you only get so many chances to dip pretzels into partially melted ice cream. You gotta take those chances where you find them.

We have to do something about video games, and soon.

Based on current trend trajectory, we will see an unironic resurgence of Dubstep (esp. Brostep) in 5-10 years. Don't wait until it's too late. Prepare yourself and your family now.

Learned today that Audacity's current owners are the same people responsible for Ultimate Guitar, the most "legally speaking, not a scam" website on the internet. Cool!

Remember: if all of the thirsty AI evangelism was working, they wouldn't keep getting so mad about people not buying it. They wouldn't keep rolling out the increasingly pathetic sales pitches.

They went off with Cosmic Crisp apples. Granny Smith is scared to come outside.

I miss when I gave a bunch of money to Patreon at the beginning of the month instead of having it constantly sucked out of my bank account every few days.

I might be one of the most "linguistic prescriptivism is reactionary" nerds alive, but if you tell me someone or something is being "glazed," there's cum involved. I'm sorry, but that's what you're saying.

I am The Conservative BitTorrent User. My pronouns are your/gay. The court could not prove that I killed one of my tenants for nonpayment. I will NEVER pay for a movie.

I love it when a right-wing guy has deep fried their brain so much that they can't even say someone's name without injecting their weird ideology into it, and I'm here to report that they're still out there breaking new grounds of inscrutability.

We've gotta pause "journalism" for a while. Every professional article writer has to go back to pre-K to learn shapes and stuff.

Remembering that someone very recently got suspended on here for making a much better and less direct joke lol

There should be a Discogs for video games.

The thing about "the Epstein files" is it was not a secret even back in 2015 that many of these people were associated with Epstein. People knew Trump was on the plane. I just think if you're clamoring for more of these files because you think something will happen, you're going to be disappointed.

Oh my god they finally gave us drafts. They must be about to hire somebody eeeeeevil

"Your identity information never leaves your device" and "We do not store data used for verification" are fast becoming the least believable bullet points in every app or website's privacy policy

Recession indicator: I need more fucking money

Americium hell yeah smoke detectors let's fuckin gooooooo

I don't fully know why B1tc0in crashed, but I know it has been making a lot of very annoying people very upset in ways that literally everyone could see coming for miles away, and I think that's nice. Just a good, clean win.
