I got a professional haircut and beard trim for the first time in 15 years and man they’re a lot better at this than I am

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

My Wife Took The Fucking Air Combos In The Divorce

I’m only still watching the State of Play in the hope that they’ll pull a second “one more thing” and it’s Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3, which isn’t going to happen but you never know

Gitaroo Man!!!

I’m generally against superheroes killing people but Wolverine has three foot-long knives coming out of each hand, it’s kind of unavoidable

Here it is, everyone: How the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy Changes the Meaning of Listen to the Cries of the Planet! youtu.be/EHe6p2WG4mI

A brief and frustrated anti-AI rant and why you can't draw like me, and I can't like you: Back in art school, the sickest thing was seeing everyone's art on critique day and you could always tell whose was whose because of the way someone rendered their lines. You became so incredibly familiar -

I told @theunchosenone.bsky.social last night that we have to make sure our wedding officiant opens with “What is a wedding? Well, Webster's Dictionary defines a wedding as, "the process of removing weeds from one's garden."

I can personally vouch that Tired is a very fun podcast and if you like cars but understand that they are bad, boy do I have some good news about this podcast

CURRENTLY i am behind on 4 credit cards and overdrawn, and may need to do one week of shifts in Baltimore which is some driving/gas money. I would like to take this opportunity to plug my only source of income for the past year, our very fun podcast that I edit: www.patreon.com/c/TiredPod/p...

NEW VIDEO! The Game Boy Advance e-Reader has had quite the decade so far, I got so much to tell you! ► 8 home brew games reviewed ► 2 developer interviews ► Tons of other discoveries from the community Really proud of this one, hope you like it ☠ youtu.be/0U9fVOmbmjc ☠

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

now that i’m a married man, i’ve decided to start having really strong opinions about what it means to be punk rock. because annoying your wife with a really shitty running joke? that’s the real punk rock.

The thing about Graham Platner is, he is very stupid, and he thinks you’re even stupider! And based on what I’ve seen from his supporters on here, he is correct to think that

And there it is, staff's new favorite silencing tool

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

That’s a wrap on Final Fantasy, a game I have tried to play a few times but never got super far in. The Pixel Remaster does make it easier to approach but also I think is too easy. I wish beating it unlocked a hard mode

'everyone's using it' okay whatever i can limit my entire entertainment budget to things published before 2023 and still have more than i can possibly experience to choose from before i die. i don't care 🤷

can't believe the guy who reduced women to baby printers is actually kind of scummy and not all that sorry

I don’t even consider myself a fan anymore. I still follow it through a handful of people, but it’s become so odious over the last ten years that I simply can’t ignore it

Shinra Middle Manager rules

His adventurer plate is just his Shinra ID card and his portrait is his Employee of the Month photo

My FFXIV WoL is just Shinra Middle Manager from the FFVII Remake trilogy. Shortly upon leaving the Gold Saucer after the events of Rebirth, Shinra Middle Manager was struck by a delivery truck out in Corel and woke up on a carriage in Eorzea, saving the realm until the next FFVII Remake game is out.

I called it “an extremely Midwestern interaction” and I stand by that

Maybe they were just wrong about how Sephiroth would post

the worst people on the planet have hello kitty avatars and @s like yummycrumbly but DETESTABLEPERVERT666 would probably pull me out of a burning building

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

been really enjoying my new Steam Deck

Okay, I'm convinced. He's Keighley's BFF for real.

Boy Aftermath really is just consistently disappointing huh

maybe you don't believe in the effectiveness of a boycott but consider: it is the easiest thing in the world to *not* write about a game. there are one billion other games released every second. basically the smallest hill in the world to die on.

i disagree with aftermath's justifications for covering forza horizon 6 because even small acts of solidarity are meaningful but also because they've abdicated responsibilities they gave themselves tellthemidied.blog/2026/05/25/i...

Animal Crossing City Folk (2008) #accf

Me and @dankdarkdreams.bsky.social are putting together the playlist for our wedding reception and I feel like for about 95% of it it’s immediately obvious who put it on there

It’s good when games have friction and 99% of the time “quality of life improvements” just means “design decisions I don’t like”

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

happy memorial day to the post of all time

I don’t play the Switch in portable mode that much, aside from the Lite which is only portable, so I haven’t had much time with it to adjust, but the Switch 2 still feels too big
