Since the Nex Playground is in the news for apparently selling more units than Xbox, here's some brief thoughts I wrote on it last year on my other account 🍜🧵

Washington State residents: they’re trying to pull online age verification bullshittery here too. This bill would require people to upload their ID/credit card to view online adult content. You can complain to your reps here: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112

Action game: The enemy of my enemy is my friend Immersive sim: The enemy of my enemy can distract them while I sneak past Open-world RPG: The enemy and the enemy of my enemy are both made of XP

Experiments in gyro aim for PC games with steam input. So far some really good results depending on the game. Gyro to mouse is essentially flawless, so games that allow simultaneous controller and kb/m inputs are really wonderful. I had to mod controller support into Oblivion, so it Just Works™️

I jumped the gun and swapped the GPUs around so that my wife has the better one and I put her older one in this pc so it's fully operational in the living room now, but I did leave my own rig empty while I wait another *two weeks* for my GPU to be delivered 😀🫠👍

Always remember how fragile and spineless these individuals are. When Superman showed the KKK to be incompetent cartoon villains recruitment fell off a cliff, and when their own kids were mocking the klan in front of their faces members quickly fell off in shame. Shame them, they've earned it.

Hey remember how all of Mississippi was blocked on BlueSky due to an age verification law?! They're going to try to do that in Washington State! COMMENT and CALL on this one! www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

The good news: Despite all odds my old 1080 fits in my wife's tiny desktop PC 🥳 The bad news: I thought she had an SSD already but she does not 🫠

Lincoln learned the hard way that forgiving, instead of holding accountable, these enemies of the state only ends one way. And it is not, "I get to peacefully watch this play while we figure things out"

So ICE just fully executed a white, 37 year old, queer American woman in broad daylight for stopping to take video, after she let several ICE vehicles leave ahead of her and then tried to leave safely behind them.

ok

I very strongly believe we're moving into an era where the bloated, unoptimized games of the last decade just aren't viable for consumers. Everyone should know by now that chasing impressive graphics hasn't been a viable strategy for a long time now. Choose making games that run well instead.

Well the cash my folks gave me for crimmas was exactly enough for an RTX 5060 and 16gb of (ddr4) ram so I suppose I've future-proofed(ish) my desktop when it comes to rendering (mostly baking) in Blender for the time being.

I made this to be the pfp of a shitpost account but I never bothered with it so here, it's objectively great and I'll hear no argument to the contrary

It's Jan 1 2026, if I start a Crash 4 106% speed run RIGHT NOW I could be done by new years 202X

You must swap now that Mamdani is mayor.

Happy new years to all who experience time in a linear fashion not me personally, but I'm told it's wild

Now THIS is #StarWars

Figured I'd share a little something I've been working on for a mod for my favorite game (Jedi Academy) The Tuk'ata (aka sith hound). This here is some in-game test footage after I got the Ghoul2 skeleton (.gla) working properly in the game engine, which took a bit of doing for a 20yo game

I have an old office PC in my garage that runs on a 2.7gh dual-core Celeron and has 4gb ram (no GPU, obviously) I consider it my target hardware, it will be resuscitated like an elder vampire when the time is right 🙂‍↕️

I've been passing a .blend file to myself over discord so I can keep working on this model as I switch between my laptop and desktop Suddenly it's occurred to me that if I'd been writing myself change logs in each message I could've been passively keeping a cloud history of this one as I went 👀

BEHOLD, the most sensibly designed device in my entertainment system (ironic):

I'm so irrationally angry right now My TV remote app that I've used for years suddenly requires an Amazon login to use It's bad enough that Amazon doesn't make replacement remotes compatible with this 5yo TV, now I can't even put music on for my fucking kid without jumping through hoops

Talking to a relative over Christmas who said she was leaving the WI over "this trans nonsense". It sent a cold rush through me, until she continued; saying that one very loud transphobe on committee was dominating meetings & she & many others were sick of it. These ghouls ARE hated by their peers.

They announced a KOTOR sequel at the game awards and I haven't seen ANYONE talking about it, not even the classic Star Wars games discord I'm in has had any discussion on it. I think everyone has collectively said "I'll believe it when I see it" to all KOTOR reveals 😂

Watching ScottTheWoz's new vid on Pro Consoles gave me flashbacks to working electronics during the One X and PS4 Pro era, what a fucking mess that whole thing was. Nobody cared about S vs X they just wanted an Xbox One, which had been discontinued. But everyone assumed the S was inferior an slim

I finally rescued my old PC that I had given to a family member for work years ago. She brought it back to em a few months ago because it "totally died" and I hadn't had the chance to work on it before now, the good news is that, aside from being absolutely filthy, most of the components are fine.

I would have not possibly have guessed the Biggest Haters were that young, or that even the 13-17 year olds, while less disgusted, are still firmly in the 'no' camp. Only old people have any real "positive" percentage

Everyone should call their reos about these bills trying to repeal section 230 But if any if these in particular are your reps you should ESPECIALLY yell at them

Most pretentious developer out there and that's really saying something coming from a person that's 100% down for whatever nonsense Kojima plans on doing next

Another bill aimed at repealing section 230 has been introduced, this time in the senate Please continue to advocate for protecting Sec 230 to your reps. We dont know how much support these bills will get yet, but they are obviously trying to push this issue www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

It's that wonderful time of the year when there's a gap between our health coverage lapsing and when it gets renewed so the doctor sends you ordinarily-covered medical bills the week before Christmas 🙃 Yayyyy uncertainty

But in the past several months, payment processors and digital store platforms have started severely restricting the kinds of sexual and adult/18+ content allowed in their terms of service. And of course all LQBTQ+ content is at risk of getting swept up in these bans. stop-paypros.neocities.org

This is the reason I can't withdraw any of my revenue from Patreon. PayPal does not allow transactions for sexual content in the form of digital products, or outside the US. #internetfreedom #censorship #savespeech

You should ALWAYS delete, I know it's less convenient to do on mobile, but it's worth it for the peace of mind. No way I'm posting tracking links into any of the queer Discords I'm in just so some data company can put me and my international cohort of lovable freaks on some list of known associates

How can you argue federal AV laws are good when at the state level we're seeing real pushback and even seeing AV legislation repealed/blocked? They want you to think its a consensus, its inevitable. Its not. Fight like its not!

ID LAWS FALL! You all are doing amazing! This is why you call your reps and make your voice heard, why you support groups fighting for free speech. Keep this up and we can tear the rest down!

Grrrr... PEOPLE AREN'T RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS, WEALTH INEQUALITY IS PREVENTING CREATIVE PEOPLE FROM REALISING THEIR IDEAS, GOODNIGHT!

I beat Gwyn and ran around NG+ for a while last night, so now that I finally managed not to fall off DS1 do I have any closing thoughts? Yes, Tenchu Z is Fromsoft's most slept on title. If you like Fromsoft or the OG Tenchu games or ninjas in general, it's the best ninja game out there.

Australian mechs are built different

I literally have a prescription that helps me not have 12 new ideas every minute

Having finally played through Lost Izalith for the first time today (I usually fall off after Nito) I feel a bit mislead by YouTubers talking about how bad the zone is, particularly the enemy placement. A lot of picking and choosing camera angles, I see. Coming from a level design angle, I think-

I feel the need to expand on this because the real situation was so much more poetic: >It wasn't a shipwreck it was an expedition >The tribe wasn't uncommunicated, they were helping the expedition >According to a member of the tribe many years later, Mike was singled out and murdered in secret 1/2

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

#savespeech #ProtectSection230 From the horse's mouth. Democrats also want Section 230 Repealed. This will not stand. They could push this any time between now and their supposed Feb. 2026 meeting. Call your Reps. tell them PROTECT Section 230. NOT to repeal it. www.congress.gov/members/find...

One of the unspoken realities of being a NSFW artist is how anyone can claim you're engaging with problematic behaviour with your art and how easy it is for just a few people to pull apart your career and destroy your income.

Nice to see Lurch is still out there living his best life

Watched a tiny old lady shake her head and wag her finger at a "fairness in girl's sports" petitioner outside the grocery store today. I was gonna talk some shit as I passed by him but he looked so confused and dejected about that one that I don't think I could've topped whatever it was she said

WE JUST GOT OFFICIAL PERMISSION FROM WALT'S CORPSE TO MAKE VIDEOS OF MICKEY SHOUTING SLURS AND PUNCHING CHILDREN THIS IS NOT A DRILL GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO
